    Doing and saying are very different things.

You're right. But my problem doesn't rest in nazis words so much as our system's response to nazis. When the system touts the rights of nazis, but doesn't even put up the facade of allowing the same thing for black people, it gives the impression that the system tacitly supports nazis and not the people who are fighting for their right to merely exist. Like I said above, I don't want to limit the rights of speech of those who are wrong, I just want to see our law enforcement take the same steps to protect minorities that they do to protect those who have dangerous and genocidal ideologies.
