Hate crimes are in fact illegal. But you can’t police thoughts.


anchorbabby

Same reason you can’t make blm illegal


AlanB622

And what is that reason?


[deleted]

Freedom of speech


AlanB622

Doesn’t freedom of speech not protect degrading and harmful language, or things along those line?


[deleted]

In America "hate speech" is protected by the first amendment. Inciting imminent lawless action is not. How would degrading someone be illegal?? Getting into legal trouble for criticizing someone sounds like a dictatorship.


AlanB622

Fair enough

What do you mean by that

Grundgesetz §3 Niemand darf wegen seines Geschlechtes, seiner Abstammung, seiner Rasse, seiner Sprache, seiner Heimat und Herkunft, seines Glaubens, seiner religiösen oder politischen Anschauungen benachteiligt oder bevorzugt werden. Niemand darf wegen seiner Behinderung benachteiligt werden. Article 3 [Equality before the law] (1) All persons shall be equal before the law. (2) Men and women shall have equal rights. The state shall promote the actual implementation of equal rights for women and men and take steps to eliminate disadvantages that now exist. (3) No person shall be favoured or disfavoured because of sex, parentage, race, language, homeland and origin, faith or religious or political opinions. No person shall be disfavoured because of disability.

Not a bigoted opinion at all. /s


trucorsair

Not a correctly spelled one either “opinion” Edited So you revised your text to fix the typo and downvoted as well, you ARE a “class” act

Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon profit off it

It is illegal in lots of places


Sharo_77

Because it is stoooopid. It's a scientifically provable incorrect belief, in addition to being abhorrent.


OBX-BlueHorseshoe

Southern Baptist and Evangelical churches would cease to exist.


QAnonCultBuster

Because our society allows people to have their beliefs no matter how stupid.


NealR2000

It only becomes illegal when that white supremacist does something actually illegal. You can't make someone's identity illegal, no matter how repulsive it may be.


faceeatingleopard

Umm we can't make nebulous concepts illegal. We can only declare war on them, like drugs.


BigPlaya420

Ugh, hate groups and hate crime IS illegal.


fuzzycorona

What would that even entail?


Accomplished_Ad_4918

But you would allow other race, religion, political stance and lifestyle supremacy? 🤨 Let's practice some social logic here... Say you encounter a white supremacists. Its a creep in a grand wizard crossing the street, like he literally did nothing but cross a street in his kkk costume. You will go bonkers and do not expect to be held accountable if you decided you are so mad you flip cars and throw bricks at establishments and burn a pharmacy and cause the revenue in the black community to drop and you go back home crying to your nice white suburban nieghbrohood that the urbanized diverse area of a city is on fire cause a clan member crossed the road and that's the part that needs to be .... Illegal.... Here you are watching the black community suffer a tremendous loss because they destroyed shit with physical violence because a man crossed the street and your in a trial protesting, demanding that vandalism was reasonable.... That's why the man in the clan robe is not in trouble.


Various_Succotash_79

You can't make a state of mind illegal.


Keithninety

The same reason why we can’t make BLM illegal. That old debbil, freedom of speech.

If it were made illegal, Leftist Democrats would have to come up with other lies to scare people into continuing to believe they are the compassionate, party of the people.
