But KKKers don't generally burn crosses in their own yards, to "express" their bigotry. It's usually done on someone else's property and intended (and understood) expressly as a threat. Doesn't that put it in a somewhat different category than just speech? Not incitement, exactly (though it could be that), but sort of like scrawling "I'm going to kill you" on someone's door. Burning crosses, considered abstractly, might be protected speech; but doesn't context matter?
