Effects of Hate Groups in America
"...Until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream." These powerful words were uttered by Martin Luther King in the midst of the racial unrest in the 1960 's. During this time period many people of the black race were affected with discrimination of all sorts. Now- a -days, crimes once driven solely by hatred for one 's race now stem from opposition to one 's religion, gender, disability, or sexual orientation. These crimes known as "hate crimes" can be prevented. Solving this problem is not impossible, but something that can unite us as a country. The dictionary defines a hate crime as "any of various crimes... when motivated by hostility to the victim as a member of a group (as one based on color, creed, gender, or sexual orientation)." It can be difficult to distinguish a hate crime from other crimes. Usually, a hate crime is detected by a background investigation of the accused person or eyewitness reports of the crime. In some cases, circumstantial evidence shows the intent of the accused. White supremacy is a current issue in society today. It takes place throughout the world and is a very serious thing. There are a lot of people who have revolted against these White Power groups. While trying to overthrow or suppress the White Power groups, people may have been beaten or killed in some cases. There are a lot of these groups out there now with thousands of followers.
Some White Power groups are only in special areas. Some of these groups are non-violent and try to fight the government for their demands. One of these non-violent groups is W.A.R. White Aryan Resistance. W.A.R. is a group in Arkansas fighting the government for an all white city. “Awaken White Americans or our race, heritage, history, and the future of our white children will be forever lost.”(www.airnet.net/niterider) This message was written from a Klansman Anarchist unnamed in the W.A.R. group.
