Hate Speech

Hate speech is a way of communication that speaks down to people.  It primarily focuses on insulting people due to their race, gender, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation.  According to the Free Speech Museum it is seen as speech that is racist or anti-semitic.  As much as it wrong for this kind of speech it would be a step back since it would violate the right to Freedom of Speech.  I don't agree with this kind of speech, but people are free to say what they want since it is one of our rights as citizens of America.  The true solution to solve this would be ban this kind of speech all together, but that is not going to happen.  We can only hope that people see how hurtful and painful this kind of speech is, and hope they change their ways.  Other than this type of solution it's not going to stop in the near future.
