No.If so, shouldn’t we change that constitutional amendment?
There are some state laws concerning the wearing of hoods and other similar things while protesting.Yes, they do. And no, I don't think we should amend the 1st amendment.
The kkk is a detestable group. I think they are cowards and idiots. But freedom is not dependent on being popular or even civil. I know plenty of asshole who still have their rights.
If you give the government, the power to decide who gets to assemble, and who doesn't, then someone like Hitler will end up in control of the government. Someone will Hitler will then have to power to decide who gets to assemble. Hitler never did anything the government didn't do. Hitler was the government.Does the Ku Klux Klan have the constitutional freedom to peaceably assembly? If so, shouldn’t we change that constitutional amendment?
Then why are so many people against racism if it is legal?

Just ask the parents who were spied on and kicked out of School Board Meetings by the FBI because they opposed Critical Race TheoryJudges ignore the first amendment. So in reality the first amendment doesn’t exist.
The Supreme Court ruled that the Klan has the constitutional right to freedom of expression and peaceable assembly. knowing the distress their presence and these cross burnings causes to Black people.Does the Ku Klux Klan have the constitutional freedom to peaceably assembly?

Racism is not legal. If you read the SCOTUS ruling they found that intimidation is not the only reason for burning crosses.Then why are so many people against racism if it is legal?
The American Nazi Party sued and won the legal right to make a uniformed march right through Skokie Illinois which was almost completely Jewish at the time and home to many concentration camp survivors. Free speech rights trump the right to not be offended by speech. Your post is a perfect example of my position that many blacks, and you and IM2 are included in that group, see everything through a prism of racism.The Supreme Court ruled that the Klan has the constitutional right to freedom of expression and peaceable assembly. knowing the distress their presence and these cross burnings causes to Black people.
Just like today, there are still those who will always side with anyone else over Black people when it comes to us having the same rights as everyone else. We are only just getting to the point where society has seen for itself the animus, threats and hostility that Black people often face in spite of the laws that have been passed prohibiting discrimination based on race.

Correct, I thought I made that clear.The American NAZI party was targeting the JEWISH COMMUNITY. Not everything is about the Black Community
I don't believe racism per se, is illegal. Certain actions motivated by racism like battery or prejudicial treatment ARE illegal. As far as I know, no thought can be illegal, only actions.Racism is not legal. If you read the SCOTUS ruling they found that intimidation is not the only reason for burning crosses.
Burning crosses to intimidate Black people or to threaten them is not of concern to SCOTUS. Just read some of their other rulings made regarding the rights and well being of Black people.
You did Just emphasizing that not everything is about the Black CommunityCorrect, I thought I made that clear.
So you agree with the American Nazi Party ruling? That while they could have marched in other places, it would have been an infringement on their right to march if they were not allowed to march through a Jewish neighborhood where many holocaust survivors make their homes? Same thing with the Klan being able to burn a cross in places away from Black people or Black neighborhoods but got to cry an unconstitutional infringement of their rights if they couldn't do it where Black people would be terrorized by it, because that's their intent, it always has been, hell they've gone record as to why the burn crosses.The American Nazi Party sued and won the legal right to make a uniformed march right through Skokie Illinois which was almost completely Jewish at the time and home to many concentration camp survivors.

Well then you're part of the problem then because people who don't believe specific laws apply to them are more likely to violate them.I don't believe racism per se, is illegal. Certain actions motivated by racism like battery or prejudicial treatment ARE illegal. As far as I know, no thought can be illegal, only actions.
One of the oldest civil rights laws is called the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 and it prohibited two or more people from traveling together upon the highway in disguise (referring to the Klan's habit of wearing robes & hoods to disguise their identity) or otherwise conspiring to deprive a person or class of people of equal protection of the law or other legal rights.[32] In addition, Section 1985(3) contains the "support-or-advocacy clauses", which cover conspiracies to harm citizens because of their support or advocacy for a federal candidate for public office.There are some state laws concerning the wearing of hoods and other similar things while protesting.
Of course they should. So long as people do not break the law, they have every right to be as white supremacist and/or racist as they are just as much as we have the right to think white supremacy and racism is wrong and is evil if acted out. They (or anybody else) should be given no power to require anybody else to be like them and we should not be required to give them (or anybody else) deference or participate in any way in their activities.Does the Ku Klux Klan have the constitutional freedom to peaceably assembly?

Racist ACTIONS are not legal. But you cannot legislate thoughts.Racism is not legal. If you read the SCOTUS ruling they found that intimidation is not the only reason for burning crosses.
Burning crosses to intimidate Black people or to threaten them is not of concern to SCOTUS. Just read some of their other rulings made regarding the rights and well being of Black people.
There is no liberty if everybody is required to think a certain way, believe a certain way, speak a certain way, act a certain way.
