Yeah that seemed too large a contingent to organize that under the radar. Trump has emboldened all these low lives.

"is the freedom to organize and to express hatred toward minorities a constitutional right?" Yes ACLU History: Taking a Stand for Free Speech in Skokie \| In 1978, the ACLU took a controversial stand for free speech by defending a neo-Nazi group that wanted to march through the Chicago suburb of Skokie , where many Holocaust survivors lived. The notoriety of the case caused some ACLU members to resign, but to many others the case has come to represent the ACLU's unwavering commitment to principle. In fact, many of the laws the ACLU cited to defend the group's right to free speech and assembly were the same laws it had invoked during the Civil Rights era, when Southern cities tried to shut down civil rights marches with similar claims about the violence and disruption the protests would cause. Although the ACLU prevailed in its free speech arguments, the neo-Nazi group never marched through Skokie, instead agreeing to stage a rally at Federal Plaza in downtown Chicago.

Unsavory speech is protected. Favorable speech needs no protection. There are of course limits ie no shouting fire in a crowded theater etc.

"But is the freedom to organize and to express hatred toward minorities a constitutional right? I think not." Try moving to California where white people are now the minority. In San Luis Obispo you can send your kids to Spanish language immersion school where English is not allowed to be spoken or taught. The wheel turns...just be careful should it roll over you and yours. I experienced racism directed towards me and my daughter in Cali 45 years ago and I chose to leave. I don't see understanding on any "side", I only see hatred and polarization. The best one can do is meet, greet and treat one's fellow man as an equal and hope for the best. Take a tour of any state prison and you'll see the end result of racial hatred in the this country.
