Active Hate Groups in the U.S. in 1998
Bob Monroe
The Southern Poverty Law Center (http://www.splcenter.org/) created
Klanwatch in 1981 in response to a resurgence of Ku Klux Klan
activity. Today, it tracks the activities of more than 400 racist and
neo-Nazi groups. In 1994, after uncovering links between white
supremacist organizations and elements of the emerging antigovernment
"Patriot" movement, the Center established the Militia Task Force. Six
months before the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, the Center warned the
U.S. Attorney General that the new mixture of armed groups and those
who hate was a recipe for disaster. The Task Force currently monitors
over 500 militias and other groups espousing extreme antigovernment
views. Although some of the groups have racist ties or leanings,
others do not.
Using information collected by both Klanwatch and the Militia Task
Force, the Center provides comprehensive updates to law enforcement
agencies, the media and the general public through its quarterly
publication, Intelligence Report. Staff members regularly conduct
training sessions for police and community groups.
Intelligence Report
URL: http://www.splcenter.org/intelligenceproject/ip-index.html
The Center's quarterly Intelligence Report offers in-depth analysis of
political extremism and bias crimes in the United States. The
Intelligence Report profiles Far Right leaders, monitors domestic
terrorism and reports on the activities of extremist groups. Its
annual listing of hate groups and Patriot groups is the most
comprehensive in the United States. Each issue contains summaries of
bias incidents from throughout the country.
Active Hate Groups in the U.S. in 1998
This list of active hate groups is based on information gathered by
the Intelligence Project from hate groups' publications, citizens'
reports, law enforcement agencies, field sources and news reports.
Only organizations known to be active in 1998, whether that activity
included marches, rallies, speeches, meetings, leafleting, publishing
literature or criminal acts, were counted in the listing. Entities
that appear to exist only in cyberspace are not included because they
are likely to be individual Web publishers who like to portray
themselves as powerful, organized groups. This listing contains all
known chapters of hate organizations. If the group has a known
headquarters, it appears first in the listing of the group's chapters.
Groups are categorized as Klan, Neo-Nazi, Skinhead, Christian
Identity, Black Separatist and Other. Only racist Skinheads are
included in the Skinhead tally. Because Skinheads are migratory and
often not affiliated with groups, this listing understates their
numbers. Christian Identity describes a religion that is fundamentally
racist and anti-Semitic. Black Separatist groups describes
organizations whose ideologies include tenets of racially based
hatred. The Other category includes groups and publishing houses
endorsing a hodgepodge of hate doctrines.
