hate speech

By reading the article on hate speech, I know understand that hate speech is when someone talks down to someone by making false statements. It can be hate towards race, sexual orientation, age and gender, A lot of people are against hate speech because it causes hate and can cause fighting. I do not believe that we should try to fix the problem because it goes against the first amendment. Hate speech is everywhere, it would be really hard to fix the problem with just one rule change. With newer technology there are a lot of ways hate speech can appear. Social media websites allow people to involve themselves in hate speech without another person even knowing who they are. There is no point in trying to censor the internet because it wouldn't work. People should just try and stay away from a negative situation where hate speech might accure.

  1. I agree with your statement that hate speech is everywhere.Most people do not even realize when they are using hate speech because they are so used to using it in their everyday language. Hate speech is something that would be really hard to censor but i do believe that if we were able to censor it, it would allow the world to be a more peaceful place. I dislike hate speech because it causes so much confrontation. Although hate speech is everywhere, and it is hard to censor everyone should try and limit the amount of hate speech they communicate to others.
