seeing as hate speech laws first started appearing in America in the 1940s
and I wasn't alive nor in America then... no, I can't remember the days before that.
"Starting in the 1940s U.S states began passing hate speech laws. In Beauharnais v. Illinois the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the state of Illinois's hate speech laws. Illinois's laws punished expression that was offensive to racial ethnic and religious groups"

Beaharnais was decided on a libel basis, a bit different fact pattern.
