The Courts have ruled over time that most, but not all, speech is protected by the Court system. The unprotected forms of speech are generally * sedition (presenting a clear threat to overthrow the government), * obscenity (mostly just hard-core or child porn) * "fighting words," (those which incite a hostile reaction) * defamation (slander or libel against a public figure), * some commercial speech (what businesses advertise, etc) (taken from RioSalado Online, POS222 American Constitution)

Freedom of speech
The only businesses protected by the US Constitution are religion and free speech.
The 1st Amendment to the United States Constitution enumerates five forms of protected speech. Among these are the right to petition, assemble and the press.
It is very important that some speech be unprotected. If something like slander were legal, then it would be free reign for those trying to spread outright lies about innocent individuals.
The Supreme Court has identified three types of speech: fully protected speech, which includes political or artistic expression and is protected by the First Amendment; partially protected speech, which includes commercial speech and is subject to certain restrictions; and unprotected speech, such as obscenity, defamation, and speech that incites violence, which is not protected by the First Amendment.

The sign carried by the demonstrator is an example of symbolic speech, which is a form of protected speech under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Symbolic speech includes using non-verbal forms, such as signs, gestures, or actions, to convey a message or express an opinion. As long as it does not incite violence or create a clear and imminent danger, symbolic speech is generally protected as a form of expression.
symbolic speech
Speech plus conduct refers to the idea that certain forms of speech, when combined with accompanying actions, may lose protection under the First Amendment. This concept is used to determine whether certain expressive activities, such as demonstrations or protests, are protected or unprotected based on the context in which they occur.
The question assumes something false. Raghead is not an example of hate speech. To be hate speech, the name-calling has to be directed at a Diversity person, a protected subclass of federally protected classes. Protected subclass people (Diversity) are also referred to or labeled as historically disadvantaged, underprivileged, oppressed, underserved, disenfranchised, and victimized. Ragheads (aka arabians) are not Diversity people in the US, so any disparaging speech directed at them is not necessarily hate speech. However, if a arab also happens to be female, a LGBTQ, or disabled then a hate speech charge is a possibility.
Sedition
political speech
its answered on the internet. == There is no definition of freedom of speech in the U.S. Constitution. Instead, it is defined by the decisions of courts when cases are presented to them. Generally speaking, the right to freedom of speech is only protected from interference by the actions of government. It is generally not protected from interference by private persons or companies. Even when protected from interference by government, freedom of speech is not absolute. There are exceptions. The most often quoted example of this is that a person is not protected from punishment if he yells "Fire!" in a crowded theater when there is no fire.
In an unprotected turn, you have a directional arrow that is green that allows you to turn. Cars coming from other directions have red light. An unprotected turn means you proceed when it is safe to do so.
