We cannot talk about freedom of expression without the argument of hate speech being raised. Hate speech is speech used to deliberately offend and threaten a certain group of people, whether on the basis of religion, sexual orientation, race, etc. In the United States, it is relatively difficult to be criminalized for hate speech. harmful actions that are generally related to what was previously said will result in someone's incarceration, not the speech itself. A famous case was Wisconsin V. Mitchell. Mitchell, a young black man, saw the movie Mississippi Burning with friends. After watching the film, they saw a young white boy in which Mitchell was recorded saying, “There’s a white boy; Go get him.” The young white boy was injured and in this case Mitchell was charged with assault and battery with an aggravated sentence due to the beating of a child, but he was not charged with hate speech and threatening, for which one can be charged in many European countries. Even flying swastika flags on your lawn is legal, but planting it on a neighbor's lawn will attract vandalism, not hate speech. This privilege, unfortunately, can easily be used to target and oppress other groups and it is up to society to ultimately determine whether speech has crossed the line or whether an individual realizes the potential consequences for their own person.
