In Massachusetts and elsewhere, courts have said the "disorderly acts or language" must take place in public where others can be disturbed.

As to Gates.....just like Jesse.....
"At the 2 Live Crew trial, Gates testified that the rap album which describes gleefully the raping and beating of black women was on a par with the art found in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales...."
"Judge Gonzalez found the race-centric testimony of Professor Gates to be utterly unbelievable and absurd..."
