Hate speech is protected but nudity isn't?

  I recently reported a blog I stumbled across that was all about why White people are evil by a Black author. His page said he encouraged free and open speech yet blocked any comments by anyone White. I reported it as a hate page. I didn’t realize it till I just got the email, but WordPress apparently supports the right to have hate speech pages as a freedom of speech issue.

  So why can’t I put nude pictures on here? Isn’t that free speech, too? Why is hate speech not offensive but nudity is?
