 | | Regulation of Racist Speech | | by Joshua Smith, Oct 27, 2007 | | In September of 2005, at the University of Virginia, there were nine incidents involving racial speech. From "slurs shouted from cars, ugly words written on message boards, to even a racist threat scrawled on a bathroom wall" reported The Boston Globe. Not only did these incidents lead to the FBI getting involved, but it also raised many questions, "a lot of people were wondering what the university's stance was," exclaimed third-year student Janelle Todman. This incident only opened the wounds to an already sticky subject that has caught the attention of the USA, "What constitutes a "hate crime" or "hate speech," anyway?" | | Comments(0) Liked It: 2 |
