It should be given equal stature to the "Malcolm X" symbol because the purpose in displaying both, the interpretation of both and the potential offensiveness of both vary equal.

What should be given equal stature to the Malcolm X symbol?

the potential offensiveness

Please point out the section of the First Amendment that discusses offensiveness.

Dude, just read the sentence right before my last statement. It's yours, I quoted it.

Please point out the section of the First Amendment that discusses offensiveness.

Please point out where I said either symbol should treated contrary to the first amendment. I think neither have a place in public buildings, but that's up to the voters. I think neither have a place in school or the workplace, but that's up to the administrators and employers. But if some idiot wants to wear one on his shirt in public or put one on his car and deal with the friction, good luck with that.
