The way the white guy and black girl react to the question about whether "All white people are racist" is hate speech, pretty much sums up the problem. He _really_ wants to say that it's hate speech but she has already said it's not and he doesn't want her to call him a racist on camera for disagreeing with her. He was so nervous about what was going to come from simply saying "I don't know..." that you could see him physically cringe in anticipation.

Normally I'd agree that's the "ah those were the good old days" syndrome. But there's plenty of data about the rising authoritarianism and pro Marxism on college campuses. With free speech, this has happened before. In the late 80s and early 90s college students were also propagandized by Marxist professors into thinking speech they didn't like needed to be banned, but enough people fought back that the control of speech was dead a few years later. Bill Maher's first show "Politically Incorrect" started in 1993 in reaction to the authoritarian left trying to control speech.

the supreme court has categorically said there is NO such thing as hate speech, and that speech is speech and that ALL speech is protected. Many great lawyers have said, it is the uncomfortable speech which should be protected THE MOST.

I don’t give a shit about what is being said or how hurtful it is. Anyone is allowed to say whatever the hell they want to say and no one should be able to change that.

A perfect example of talking out of both sides of one's mouth. Students who claim to cherish freedom of speech, and in the same breath want to place regulations to curtail it.

This is an excellent video, thank you for making it! I think it's undeniable that speech can cause harm either directly to the person hearing it, indirectly by inciting others to harm the person in some manner, or by *tangibly* contributing a hostile environment for a person/group. That being said, there are also harms and risks associated with restricting a certain type of free speech, and these harms and risks almost always outweigh the costs of allowing that category of speech. Furthermore, the problems that come from allowing free speech, especially when it comes to hate speech, can often be addressed with more speech. A really good philosophical paper on the topic is Joshua Cohen "Freedom of Expression". As for the "speech can be violence" issue: I think that people who think this have a point, but they aren't expressing it properly. I don't think they mean to equate speech with literal, physical violence. Rather, I think they're trying to point out that speech can cause genuine, tangible harm to a person - verbal harassment can cause psychological harm, a harmful environment can lead to constant feelings of stress and anxiety, etc. In fact, there is a genuine scientific case to be made that chronic stress has negative health effects (aeon.co/essays/how-stress-works-in-the-human-body-to-make-or-break-us). So there is a valid point in there somewhere, it's simply being communicated badly.

Wow. This is the first video on hate speech that I've seen that seems unbiased. Rather, its based on a purely logical argument. Very well done.

"Should government..." NO!

This generation is so soft anything they disagree with is hatespeech

Insightful glimpses at a handful of the quite numerous ideas surrounding freedom of speech and expression. When it comes to regulating speech, who or what agencies will be able to reasonably parse through speech so as to filter out what is not healthy for discourse, for debate, and for raising contentions. There are laws already in place and which criminalize speech which incites violence. What drives peeps to press for expanding those laws. This interviewee captured all of my thoughts: "Here at USC and on college campuses, it's important that we hear everything we possibly can. Whether that be something that we don't like. Or, something that rubs us the wrong way. I think it's important that we hear it. Because, we are going to go out into the world and we are going to hear it there. And, it is important that we're able to hear it here (on the grounds of a college/university) and form our own opinions and ideas."

In Canada hate speech is defined under law as the communication of statements in any public place, that incites hatred against any identifiable group where such incitement is likely to lead to a breach of the peace. That needs to be proven in court, so before people get excited, there is still due process of law, and a lot of questionable speech is still legal under this section of the criminal code.

Because you expect wildly divergent answers from most interviewees? The follow-up questions often got a pre-tyrant to reason that the idea is good while impractical to implement.

Darkspace isn’t that sad how today we know what 90% of students will answer? Diversity in skin color race and gender but no diversity in minds! Today university’s are brain washing machines

That was the most balanced reporting I've seen on the subject. Way to go reason.

3:25... what?! One of the basic points of free speech is so that less powerful can speak up. Government is the higher power, and you want to give them the ability to regulate speech? :S If anything, regulating speech gives the higher power even more power.

Take away God and Jesus and install fear and you get weak people who can't function mentally. This is a great example: Psalm 119:165King James Version (KJV) 165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

Really? Because Christianity hasnt harmed people? Or Judaism? Because. ..well the bible has called for genocide attempts....killing people because they are attracted to the same sex........picking up sticks worse than rape.........slavery. Also do not forget the protestants ajd catholics comitting acts of terrorism against one another....dunno about lack of religious belief being the issue.

So Jesus isn't God in your faith-based thinking? Are you suggesting the notion of eternal hell for sin and not accepting Jesus isn't instilling fear?

derek harms , sorry but you are confusing "Christianity" with the Catholic religion. Catholics worship "Lucifer" the Devil, Satan, etc etc. All religions worship Lucifer including Islam. God and Jesus is Real and not a religion. When you confuse "Christians" with Religion, nothing makes sense. Just like you don't make sense. Judaism worships Lucifer too.....

Home Wall What the FUCK does "instilling fear" have to do with this conversation? Ohhhhhhhh, that's right, cause YOU think religious people do it CAUSE WE ONLY WANT TO CONTROL PEOPLE!!!!! That's right! You don't want to have an HONEST conversation with me lol no no no, that would be asking tooooooo much from the morally superior to the christian person, now wouldn't it? Wouldn't it be? Telling someone "there's a goddamn bear outside" is "instilling fear in them" sweetheart. HERE is where it takes the cake though........if it's fuckin true......then that FEAR is just the RATIONALE output of understanding what in the fuck I just said to you lolol YOU think it's about controlling people, but IM telling you it's about what I understand as "The Truth". Please, leave your emotions at the door if you can.

Come on now people! Be honest! 😂 We all know what pisses us off. To allow a group to spew hate which will result in violence should not be allowed. It's incontestable.

Allowing people to say things you disagree with is the main pillar of a rational society. Your comment pisses me off, therefor you should be prosecuted. See how that works? 🤡

Don't limit speech, we need to know where everyone stands and be aware of people in the community

{Hate Speech} - Definition: "Any speech that I don't like, want to hear, or don't agree with!"

I’m a college student, and I believe in freedom of speech. I believe you have the right to say whatever it is want to say. Banning hate speech is limiting freedom of speech. Which I’m completely against.

Hate speech isn't free when it costs lives!

Hate speech is opinion.

This is the problem with "sensitivity" training. It doesn't train people to be "sensitive", it trains them to know what ideas they should hide.

I like how they think making fun of white people isn't hate speech.

great interviewing, excellent thoughtful presentation

Of course hate speech is bad, but fuck letting the government decide what we can and cannot say! Hate speech is free speech.

They’ll be older one day and see that a new younger generation considers their views hateful and non progressive. Then they’ll know when it’s too late

Free speech is pretty rare in the West

Hate speech cannot be violence -- only incent violence. The moment hate speech is classified as violence, anything can designated as hate speech.

A good way to tell if something is racist, is to swap the race being discussed. If the statement in *any* configuration is racist, then it is racist in every configuration. For example, change _"All white people are scum"_ to _"All black/asian/hispanic people are scum."_ If you think _any other form_ of that statement is racist, then it also is racist if the race is "white".

To be fair, the ones who were asked if they could see the problem with their original idea of banning/regulating "hate speech" did confess that they understood how impossible it would be. I know we like to bash people with another opinion, but this guy actually made some good arguments and caused them to think. That's the best way to reach this new generation.

It was nice to see that the students interviewed had more than one dimension to their thoughts understanding that Both the Litigious regulations required to enforce hate speech can so easily be used for the wrong reasons and that although they didn't always agree with the opinions it is good to hear someone with a different point of view. In Australia we have only used our Hate speech legislation a couple of times to limit only the worst of offenders which is why the laws still stand if they were to be more widespread in their use I suspect the population wouldn't stand for it for too long.

We need a department of feelings where all kinds of feelings will be evaluated, digitized and quantified

When that young lady said that free speech mostly benefits the people in power, it couldn't be further from the truth. Free speech guarantees the right of the minority to petition the government for redress without fear. If the majority control what speech is allowed, what recourse does the minority have other than violence.

hate speech is free speech

The fact that they are so confident when saying this

It’s not hard to figure out! Hate speech is insulting people, threatening people, using speech as epithets. Name calling in a mean way. You don’t name call people you consider friends. Speech that encourages violence. Why do people have a problem figuring it out!

"Granting government the power to decide what's acceptable to say presumes that what brings up closer to the truth is not the free exchange of ideas but the wise decision making from the government." @ 4:58 - Might as well be the simplest yet most potent response to anyone who wants to police someone else's speech.

Wow, objective journalism in 2018. Good job Reason.

Hate is just another emotion. "I hate hate speech" is hate speech. Setting a standard for defining hate speech is impossible since it depends on whoever got their feelings hurt. Sometimes it's unintentional. Sometimes, sadly, it's intentional. The root cause is the human condition which cannot be regulated. As a minority, I like to know who around me is a racist, hater, etc and their speech is often an easier way to tell rather than observing their actions since a lot of them don't act on their hateful thoughts ... yet.

I appreciate how unbiased the reporter is.

"If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" is not supposed to be a legal concept.

Those who trade their essential liberties for temporary safety don’t deserve either.

It's not even for safety. No one gets hurt by saying their "hate speech"

Canada was mentioned as a jurisdiction which restrict hate speech. Those restrictions can be found in Sections 318, 319, and 320 of the Canadian Criminal Code, which forbid hate propaganda. "Hate propaganda" means "any writing, sign or visible representation that advocates or promotes genocide or the communication of which by any person would constitute an offence under section 319." In this respect, Canada’s position isn’t much different from the US Supreme Court, which continues to consider “imminent incitement of violence” as a condition under which the right to free speech can be abridged. (See decisions in Brandenburg v. Ohio and R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul.)

Thank you ReasonTV, your videos are great....

Balanced perspective-thanks!

Freedom of speech anytime! Hurt feelings? -Tough luck
