.milleridriss: Sticks and stones may break bones, but words of coded hate speech from white supremacists can incite deadly acts.
The analysis of those chats also has the potential to break new ground by introducing a legal record of the ways that white supremacist extremists use cloaked speech and coded language to plan and describe actions in ways that make them seem more innocuous than they are. There has been aexplosion in recent years in the use of coded speech and “double speak” phrases across the far right.
The defendants have made similar arguments in this case, claiming they were “just joking” and that their views are. But First Amendment protections do not excuse violence. And in March, the court denied the Charlottesville defendants’ attempt to exclude expert testimony from two professors, Kathy Blee and Pete Simi, about white supremacists’ use of coded speech.
