Hate Speech, Incitement of Art: The Music and Lyrics of Prussian Blue

• In Event: Racism in U.S. America: Contemporary and Historical Manifestations

Abstract

This manuscript applies the legal tests for "Incitement" and the "Fighting Words" doctrine to the lyrics of White Power musical group Prussian Blue. Both Incitement and fighting words represent a condition upon which the courts can limit the First Amendment rights of a person or group. Such an analysis is important because the Hate movement continues to use music as a recruiting tool.
