US law doesn't prohibit hate speech, as it's under the protection of the 1st amendment. Can you argue against this?

Asked by JonnyCeltics (2721points) March 4th, 2012

Outside of obscenity, defamation, incitement to riot, and fighting words, hate speech is a form of free expression and speech, thus protected by the 1st amendment.

Can you think of reasons why it shouldn’t be protected….?
