Not sure where you live but even the despicable Nazi flag can be
displayed in public.

Several years ago the American Nazi Party got a permit for a
parade in Skokie, Ill. which has a large Jewish population. The
ACLU fought to get them a permit for their march. They marched
down the street wearing arm bands and with Nazi flags unfurled.

Burning crosses in public is probably not protected speech
because of the overt threat it conveys unless it is done on
private property in conformance with applicable fire codes and
anti-outdoor burning restrictions.
