Hate Groups

          In today’s society where differences between people are magnified and everyone
is discussing diversity, tensions between different groups are remarkably high.  The extreme of
this tension is brought out in hate groups.  Hate groups play off of the stereotypes of specific
peoples.  They use these generalities in their relentless and often violent persecution of those
different from themselves.
          There are many groups that practice in such ways, most of them preaching white
supremacy.  The main goal of these groups is the advancement of the white race by the
segregation of other cultures from society.  The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is probably the best known
of these groups.  They have been around since the Reconstruction era following the Civil War.
The KKK was set up to build an all white society based on Christian beliefs.   They claim that
they are not the enemy of non-white, non-Christian people. They believe that all races would

that hurts American workers  6) death penalty for repeat drug offenders  7) workfare not welfare
8) American troops on the border to stop illegal immigrants  9) no affirmative action  10) all
laws controlling guns should be unconstitutional  11) bring back the Bible into society  12) stop
abortion.
          Also a white supremacist group, Posse Comitatus is very concerned the removal
of  Jewish people from American society.  They feel that Jews are literally the children of Satan
and are a very militaristic hate group. Over 85% of their members are war veterans. They also
