Hate Speech DA

Part 1 is the Uniqueness

Hate speech has been emboldened on college campuses ever since Trump's victory. JOURNAL OF BLACKS IN HIGHER EDUCATION 16:

_{"White Supremacists on College Campuses Emboldened by Trump Victory," The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education},https://www.jbhe.com/2016/11/white-supremacists-on-college-campuses-emboldened-by-trump-victory/_{, November 18, 2016.}
There has been a rash of racial incidents on college campuses in the aftermath of
_{AND
a group of White males who yelled "Trump. Trump. Trump!"}

Trump's presidency has given rise to alt-right movements which perpetuate Hate speech and violence allowed by the first amendment.

Neiwert '17 ~David (Seattle-based freelance journalist and blogger. He received the National Press Club Award for Distinguished Online Journalism in 2000 for a domestic terrorism series he produced for MSNBC), January 23, 2017, "Alt-Right Event in Seattle Devolves Into Chaos and Violence Outside, Truth-Twisting Inside" https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017/01/23/alt-right-event-seattle-devolves-chaos-and-violence-outside-truth-twisting-inside~~ AS
It was a scene ripe for violence last Friday night in Red Square on the
AND

It is events like these that allow violence to fester and persist. 

Part 2 is LINK

Hate speech is protected by the constitution.

Volokh 15. Volokh, Eugene ~teaches free speech law, religious freedom law, church-state relations law, a First Amendment Amicus Brief Clinic, and tort law, at UCLA School of Law, where he has also often taught copyright law, criminal law, and a seminar on firearms regulation policy~, "No, there's no "hate speech" exception to the First Amendment", Washington Post, 08/07/15. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2015/05/07/no-theres-no-hate-speech-exception-to-the-first-amendment/?utm_term=.0285ca6aa92b//AD
I keep hearing about a supposed "hate speech" exception to the First Amendment
AND
free speech, it's hate speech" doesn't, I think, suffice.

On-campus speech restrictions are essential to mitigate oppressive rhetoric and physical violence against marginalized groups—taking that away further entrenches oppression. MCCONNELL 12:

_{McConnell ~Reed E.~, "Why Harvard's Hate Speech Policies Are Necessary," The Harvard Crimson},http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2012/4/18/hate-speech-libertarians/_{, April 18, 2012.}
There certainly should be dialogue around issues of racism, sexism_,homophobia,and
AND
oppressed groups in order to prevent them from becoming further marginalized and oppressed.

AND, hate speech promotes violence by encouraging a culture of the Other. HALPERN 95:

_{Halpern ~Howard~, "How Hate Speech Leads Readily to Violence,"}http://www.nytimes.com/1995/05/05/opinion/l-how-hate-speechleads-readily-to-violence-477795.html_{, May 5, 1995.
Social psychologists and demagogues have long known that}if_ordinarycitizens are to be provoked
AND
_itwherever it exists_{, even in those with whom we politically agree.}

Part 3 is the Impact

Racist speech constructs social realities—racist speech and racist conduct cannot be separated. LAWRENCE 90:

_{Lawrence ~Charles R., Professor of Law @ Stanford Law School~, "If He Hollers Let Him Go: Regulating Racist Speech on Campus," Duke Law Journal: Vol. 1990, No. 431, 1990.
It is difficult to recognize the institutional significance of white supremacy or how it acts 
AND}
of others, this act of constructing meaning also makes racist speech conduct.

Unchecked hate speech inevitably leads to physical violence and attacks. BRONDOU 10:

_{Brondou ~Colleen~, "Hate Crimes Increase on College Campuses," Finding Dulcinea},http://www.findingdulcinea.com/news/education/2010/april/Hate-Crimes-Increase-on-College-Campuses.html_{, April 14, 2010.
Campus Hate Crime or Simply Free Speech? Certainly, not all hateful incidents rise 
AND
speech can do, it's}~is~ going to lead to violence."
