[17] Beauhamais v. Illinois, 343 U.S. 250 (1952) (upholding the constitutionality of a statue criminalizing group defamation based on race or religion). Although Beauhamais has never been formally repudiated by the Supreme Court, it is fundamentally inconsistent with more recent decisions on the subject.

[19] The identity of the audience involved may be relevant for a variety of reasons, including assessing the harm produced by hate speech, and devising effective legal means to combat hate speech. For example, demeaning racist propaganda aimed at a non-target audience may be a necessary step in the creation of a political environment wherein policies of genocide might plausibly be implemented. See generally GORDON W. ALLPORT, THE NATURE OF PREJUDICE (1954). Thus, the German people might never have countenanced the Nazi policy of extermination of the Jews, had they not been desensitized through years of vicious anti-Semitic propaganda. See FRANKLYN S. HAIMAN, SPEECH AND LAW IN A FREE SOCIETY 87 (1981). Consistent with this, hate speech directed at a non-target audience might well be much more dangerous than if exclusively addressed to a target-group audience.

[21] Because of prevailing social and economic circumstances, it has often been the case that the whites with whom black ghetto dwellers have the most—often unpleasant— contacts, namely shopkeepers and landlords, happen to be Jews.
