There have been a string of "Native American/American Indian hate groups" popping up on Facebvook within the last week or so. The leaders of the group would put the discriptions encouraging other Facebook members to join their group because Natives were "ugly and dirty." and " Join us to abolish Native rights.". We have already reported the group pages and some have been removed.

Under US laws, would this be considered a hate crime or freedom of speech?
