Rather than relying on the state to censure hate speech, anti-racists can assume that task—calling out and shouting down every expression of white supremacy as we work to build a genuinely free society. In the meantime, we can construct safe spaces for ourselves where hatred is barred at the door. In other words, the exact work that campus activists are already doing.

A genuinely free society so long as you don't say things he disagrees with or invade his "safe space". I'm not sure Western Civilization is going to survive this generation.

Exactly. Who gets to decide what is "hate" speech and what is not? Certainly, if liberals have their way virtually everything that conservatives believe in shortly will be considered hate speech or action.

I've already conversed on-line with a number of libs who believe people who don't approve of homosexual marriage should either be fired from their jobs or put in prison. And they're serious.
