An example would be how they protested homosexuality IN GENERAL outside of the funeral of a US soldier who was KIA, that's just plain fucked up.
More importantly, they could be spurring people to act on racist ideals(i.e. KKK).
Ignorance is bad, but it's worse when people act on it. Don't be that person, sid.
You just said homosexuality, now you need to pay a fine. Oh wait, you said racist, now it's jail time, mister. What's this? did you use the word PROFANE? death row. That's an obvious exaggeration of the less powerful yet more idiotic fighting words doctrine. What do you plan to accomplish in limiting the freedom of speech between races? I've lived everywhere, and I've moved to the US recently, and I can say that you people are the most racist and prejudiced people in the world, not because you don't enforce respect, but because you give too much of a fuck. If you go anywhere in the world, you can joke about how your friend loves watermelons and he will then talk about how you will probably catch on fire under the sun. And you will both laugh. In America, you even look at someone with a different accent than you and it's cause for a law suit. I don't know what you see in this law, but it's dumb.
