Facts About US Hate Groups

By kgilberg (20, F, CA) NOISEmail kgilberg Facts About US Hate Groups

762
The number of active hate groups in the United States as of 2004.

162
The number of active Ku Klux Klan chapters in the U.S. as of 2004. The KKK is the oldest and most infamous of American hate groups. Although Blacks have typically been the KKK’s primary target, it also has attacked Jews, immigrants, homosexuals, and Catholics.

108
The number of Black Separatist groups active in the United States. Black Separatists groups typically oppose integration and interracial relationships, and they preach separate institutions for African Americans. Many forms of black separatism are strongly anti-White and anti-Semitic.

158
The number of Neo-Nazi organizations active in the United States. Neo-Nazi groups have a hatred for Jews, and an admiration for Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. While they also hate other minorities, and even sometimes Christians, they perceive "the Jew" as their enemy. Neo-Nazis trace social problems to a Jewish conspiracy that supposedly controls governments, financial institutions, and the media.

48
The number of active Racist Skinhead groups in the United States. Racist Skinheads shape an especially violent part of the White supremacist movement. The classic Skinhead look is a shaved head, black boots, jeans with suspenders, and an array of typically racist tattoos.

QueenOfHell says, "The kids in my school are VERY prejudice. Everyday you can hear some kid being insulted by this one group of because he/she is Jewish."
28
The number of contemporary Christian Identity religious groups actively practicing in the United States. The Christian Identity religion asserts that Whites, not Jews, are the true Israelites favored by God in the Bible. In most of its forms, it depicts Jews as biologically descended from Satan, while non-Whites are seen as soulless "mud people" created with the other Biblical "beasts of the field."

97
The number of Neo-Confederate groups currently practicing in the United States. These are groups that celebrate traditional Southern culture and the Civil War's dramatic conflict between the Union and the Confederacy. Some of these groups go further and embrace racist attitudes towards Blacks and, in some cases, White separatism.

161
The number of hate groups practicing in America that fall under that category of "other." This category includes hate groups with a mixture of principles. Some, like the National Association for the Advancement of White People, are White supremacist groups camouflaged as conventional groups with an interest in issues like Black crime, busing, and affirmative action.

Do any of you guys know what Neo-Nazi means it means you are against one certain religion not a whole country, now tell is America one religion? The only reason they hate jews is because most jews are Dark hair dark eyes, Aldof Hitler wanted a super race with Blonde hair Blue Eyes only he wanted World Domination,they also blame the Jews for supposedly "Killing there God". Hitler commited Genocide killing people in your own country or race against race. If you notice also Saddam Hussen followed just about everything Hitler did, killed his own people, terrified his own people and basiclly wanted world domination to whatever it took, notice?

While I was reading this article, I was saddened. But, my suspiscions were also confirmed. I knew that all of the above must have been true. However, I had no idea to what extent. Nevertheless, what are we to do? Anyone who belongs to these groups will behave in a racist way, but not be open about their allegeigance to any group. By the way, I am black, but I view the Black Separatist as the same as any other the other hate groups. Any black individual who sides with them is ignorant, so they merely choose to align with their race, no matter how stupid
