Why another day? Hate crimes laws are thought control.

If I use racist terms towards someone, then they can use them against me or fight me, the government shouldn't be able to punish me for using a racist term in a sentence or even being a racist.

Hate Crimes = Thought Crimes.

You are being punished for opinions/beliefs.

I agree. I think hate crime laws do violate free speech. I just felt it was off topic for this thread.
