I’m just saying. Some dude got arrested for burning a cross on his own land a few years back. So burning things you own to make whatever message you think you are making isn’t always protected.

He should have burned the American flag; would have been protected free speech.

Is being a racist illegal?

In another story, leftist protesters removed an American Flag from an ICE facility in Aurora, CO and replaced it with a Mexican Flag. Nothing will happen to them.

It was a BIT rhetorical.

We’re all pretty ‘solid’ on the multi-tiered just-us system in the U.S. (based on the racist precepts that whites MUST, intrinsically, HATE all else). Though, it still fails to answer how X-on-Y ‘hate’ is measured.
