You don't seem to understand in states where the law is properly written it's passing muster just fine. The cross burning case I cited was from 1994 after the Supreme Court challenges you cited.

The adl.org text you cited indicated the organization anticipated this:

>>>Based on R.A.V., hate crime statutes which criminalize bias-motivated speech or symbolic speech are unlikely to survive constitutional scrutiny. Particularly, cross burning statutes or statutes criminalizing verbal intimidation are more suspect after this decision.<<<

The concern was misplaced.
