Sorry burgerbros can you help me with a question on free speech:

If, during a altercation with a PoC, I say "damn nigger" or "you're an african monkey" can I be charged with something like "racial slur" or whatever get me in trouble with the law?

If I say to a PoC "fucking nigger" and he assault me -> I fight back and during the brawl kill him by accident, can I be charged with racism that can lead me to have more year of prison if the same situation were between two white guys?

Thanks you in advance!

Essentially, yes, but if you yelled it to a pack of niggers, and you wasted one in self defense, you would be fine.

Depends on your lawyer. If you're rich you can pretty much get away with murder.

The narrative is that it depends on intent. Hate is allowed, hate speech in allowed (That Baptist God Hates Fags group, for example). So that is free speech. But inciting violence is against the law. Harassment is against the law. You cannot really inflict it on someone, they have to have a choice to consume it. I think.

IANAL but that's the jist.
>>
>>80655229

There's a fighting words thing where fighting words are inciteful.

Also, despite what people say, you can yell fire in a crowded theater legally.
>>
>>80655229
Basically what >>80655618 said, if you're a rich person the rules don't apply to you. But generally free speech means you're fine saying whatever you want as long as you're not inciting a panic (Fire in a crowded theater when there's no fire example) or actively inspiring violence or such (See that nigger over there let's go lynch him) or harassment (following someone around for hours on end calling them a nigger).

TL;DR It's the freedom to say whatever dumb shit you want as long as you're respecting the other party's right to call you a stupid faggot and fuck off so they don't need to listen or deal with you anymore.
>>
>>80655599
Absolutely not. Why are you lying? Fucking weird faggot.

There is no risk of hate crime in this situation because you were only defending yourself.

The only restrictions on freedom of expression are credible threats and you can't yell "FIRE" in a theater because people have died from that prank bro.

Don't listen to these idiots that don't understand their own rights.
>>
>>80655894
>or actively inspiring violence or such (See that nigger over there let's go lynch him)

Incitement only applies if it results in immediate action.
>>
>>80655229

Try it and find out.
>>
You can call somebody a nigger or anything else in this country, there is no legal recognition of "hate speech" in the United States

If you get in a fight with somebody, and kill them, you may be charged. Legally you can defend yourself, but you run the risk that the police will think you're lying about defending yourself and charge you. If there are witnesses though you should be fine.

This is America nigger.

I can say whatever the fuck I want to you.

If you physically touch me, I'll draw my weapon and ventilate you and while I'm dialing 911 to report an assault, I'll stand over your body and call you a doublenigger and nothing will happen to me.

Welcome to freedomland.

Spooks niggers every single time.

>Only speech that poses an imminent danger of unlawful action, where the speaker has the intention to incite such action and there is the likelihood that this will be the consequence of his or her speech, may be restricted and punished by that law.
>the Supreme Court embraced the idea that hate speech is permissible unless it will lead to imminent hate violence

Yelling "nigger" to an individual provokes imminent danger of unlawful action, you stupid fucking leaf. Kill yourself.
>>
>>80657135
Not 100% sure. Some comedy show IIRC, I just saved it when someone else posted it. It was supposed to be critical of just how readily guns are available in America, but it actually kind of comes off as pro-gun and 'murrca fuck yeah so I like it.
>>
>>80657573
Are you fucking retarded, it's not illegal to insult somebody and it certainly isn't illegal to call somebody a nigger
>>

It's not illegal but you will get fired for it.

Don't blame me because you're too stupid to know your own laws.

Aside propaganda was literally:

>"Refugees" assault the italian
>The italian throw a punch
>The nigger slip and hit the concrete with the back of his head
>Dies
>It's 4 days media, istitutions, government are calling italians racist.
>Poor italian dude is in jail without even a trial, probably due to leftist propaganda in full force during these days.

Jesus fucking christ this goverment sucks.
>>
>>80655229

Fighting words aren't protected speech.

If you were to say "AW SHIT NIGGER" to something unrelated and someone tried to come after you for that, you would be fine, but since you use the language in a way that's clearly to incite violence, you're at fault.

This is 100% bullshit.

There is no "fighting words" clause in the 1st amendment. What are you faggots even saying?
>>
Legally, nothing can happen to you. Free speech applies to anything that isn't a call to kill someone.

While its unfair probably will help him in the trial.

We have to wait till october (we have a referendum vote on our costitution)

The fighting words clause, in States that have them, protect the defense.

So if you call a nigger a nigger and he kicks your ass, he can claim you used fighting words.

If he attacks you and you fight back and kill him, it's self defense.

They might still jam you up with a misdemeanor disturbing the peace depending on the situation leading up to the fight.

But if you were at a protest/counter protest you should be fine.
>>
>>80660965
Its not a hate crime if the black monkey started the assault. Its self defense.
Hate crimes are only for people who say murder a nigger. But even then it has to be proven without reasonable doubt that you killed him specifically because he was black.
Remember innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.
>>
>>80662741
Nice argument faggot
>>
>>80662984
I don't need an argument. You've been told several times that you don't understand the first amendment.

Why are you pretending to be an American? Or are you just so stupid you fell for the "hate speech isn't free speech" meme pushed by college students?

I don't really care. Fuck you for being to stupid.
>>
>>80660972
It could be argued that it was inciting violence which is illegal.
You can't incite violence by calling somone mean names though.
If you went in front of a group of 1000 people and told them to lynch all nigger in the city and they did it.

>>80663365
Is this some elaborate form of shitposting? In any case, get fucked you stupid Canadian piece of shit. Stay in Cuckland

>To be sure, there are some kinds of speech that are unprotected by the First Amendment. But those narrow exceptions have nothing to do with “hate speech” in any conventionally used sense of the term. For instance, there is an exception for “fighting words” — face-to-face personal insults addressed to a specific person, of the sort that are likely to start an immediate fight. But this exception isn’t limited to racial or religious insults, nor does it cover all racially or religiously offensive statements.

But I remember an article by Saloon literally telling "BLM loots and destroy everything is legit bc white oppression" and no one shut Saloon down :S

I remember that because i tweeted at them "dudes if you write something like this here in Italy you will be shutted down due to istigation of violence, so watch out when you hope for more socialism!"
>>
>>80665343
I am amazed you didn't leave this thread in embarrassment a long time ago.

You are ignorant and I've already done enough to educate you.

That article is bullshit because America doesn't have such a thing as "hate speech."

I can't get over how dumb you are, it's actually intriguing.

You are not an American right? Some European using a proxy, because your country doesn't have free speech? That's the only explanation.

>>80664849

>It could be argued that it was inciting violence which is illegal.
No, it couldn't because
>You can't incite violence by calling somone mean names though.
>>
>>80655229
In the US hate speech is like a spice on another blander incitement to violence.

I wish we had a robust constitution.

Self-defense cases often boil down to how sympathetic the prosecution can make the victim.

I once heard about this white man who was some lowly fuckin' construction worker. He attacked some old man and the old guy pulled a gun and plugged him. The jury was all misty-eyed when they were hearing about "WAHHHH THE DECEDENT HAD KIDS. FIVE LITTLE KIDS HE WAS CARING FOR."

They found the old fuck guilty, even though it was clearly self-defense.

So in your hypothetical example, it would probably boil down to whether or not the black guy had a huge rap sheet or if he was a respectable black man.
>>
>>80655229
No how ever if you accidentally kill him they will likely charge you with a hate crime. Since the insults will be considered baiting the other guy into the fight. Obviously defend yourself just don't kill the nigger.
>>
>>80667577
Bullshit. Show me a source on that.

American courts don't fuck up this badly.

>>80668105
Stop. Please just stop spreading your stupid wrong ideas.
