    In the ten days following the 2016 United States presidential election, the Southern Poverty Law Center, a prominent civil rights and legal advocacy organization, recorded almost 900 incidents of hate-motivated harassment, intimidation, or violence in the United States. This “outbreak of hate” was primarily directed toward ethnic, racial and religious minorities, and perpetrators often invoked President-elect Donald Trump’s name during their assaults.

Many Americans want to ban hate speech from being a part of the First Amendment because they believe that it causes and provokes violence against others.
