You can be brought into contextual court on charges of contextual hate speech. The charge can only be brought if grounds can be given that the speech was given in a hateful context, regardless of what was actually said. Defense attorneys advocates can force an acquittal if they can convince a jury that the charge was brought out-of-context, esp. if the accused self identifies as a member of a class of people who cannot frame a context. For example, one could see people who suffer from Tourette’s Syndrome being hauled into context court for hate speech and then subsequently acquitted.
