we had words, and he asks me if " I want to settle this outside, if so he'll get his shoes on and come out" so I said come on out. of course he wouldn't.

my kids are 6 and 8 and white, their were 2 black kids 5 and 7 ( i think ) and a Filipino friend who's also 6. all very well behaved kids. I was so mad I was shaking, I wanted to tear him apart so badly :|

anyone know if there are any laws against making racial slurs in Florida?

Thats so sad. Welcome to life in the USA as a black male. However all you should do is continue to teach your childern that what he said is wrong etc. Dont confront his stupidity. Just remember his comments when you are confronted with people who say racism in America doesnt exsist.

Same for other races in other countries. If anything the US is better about it.

Mcveigh I emphasize with you and I would have gone just as ballistic on this guy which is entirely out of character for me. My kids are interracial so it outrages me when I encounter ignorant azzwipes like this too. I have gone off on a few people but no physical violence because I don't want my kids thinking that is an example to follow later in life. They are going to encounter many morons who think they are better than others because of the color of their skin and they need to know they can't fight the world.

What if find especially amusing, and this case is a prime example, is a guy like this who you stated is entirely a loser with a criminal record feels superior to this black family who undoubtedly are leading productive, normal lives and harming nobody. It must make him feel better about himself to belittle others since he's such a winner who beats his wife and breaks the law.

Ever hear of free speech? There's no law against ignorance.

ever hear of "fighting words"? the supreme court has ruled that they're are limits to free speech. i believe that this fits the criteria as it was face-to-face and the words were likely to lead to a breach of the peace (as evidenced by mcveighs conversation with the neighbor).

edit: look up chaplinsky vs new hampshire

Even though I fail to see how this incident would fit the Chaplinsky test; considering that Chaplinsky is about 60 years old anyway, I think the court would be more likely to apply the test from Brandenburg v. Ohio (which admitedly is about 35 years old itself), which requires that speech must be directed at inciting or producing "imminent lawless action" or be likely to do so. That's a bit stricter, and it definitely wouldn't pass that test.

Besides, trying to use the law to restrict speech that offends you is, like, bad.

Call 911 and tell them your neighbor just called someone the N word. Then watch exactly nothing happen.

You can pull up all the obscure cases of someone insulting a cop that you want. It doesn't apply here.

You're simply not right here. Profanity/racist speech, etc is disorderly conduct in many states. I was shocked myself after I did research on it. The cussing canoeist is one example of that. Sure, most of the time it is reversed, or someone is never charged with it, but it still exists.

Like I said, call 911 and see what happens.

And tell me, what has happened every time the KKK or other racist group has been arrested for "hate speech?"

Inciting a riot or fight is one thing, simply insulting someone is another.
 
I like the poster idea... print about 50 of em and stick'em all
around the neighborhood with a message like:

Hi, my name is "a$$hole" and I live in a great country that
guarantees my right to call afrikan american kids of under
10 years of age n!gger$. I am also a convicted felon.
I would love to meet you one day.

That should get things even.

Isn't there a law against that?


Not if it's publicly available. You pay a few bucks, you get info. I had a blind date who did that on me, I had nothing to hide, but I didn't like it one bit.
