Hate groups in your area???
 
I saw this on another board I belong to:

here is a link to a map of hate groups throughout the US:
http://www.tolerance.org/maps/hate/index.html

One hell of an eye opener! There are more than you think and they run the gamut

anyone ever been to www.stormfront.org??

I saw their story on HBO and decided to check it out because I was curious. It's so sad how ignorant some people are!

Very interesting... and informative at the same time - specifically the 'Others' section on the map... many little sub-groups or movements that haven't caught the media's eye are mentioned - some hiding behind seemingly innocuous names.

Its all too easy to spot the crackpot "Aryan" assholes... but this site has given me a few more 'other' groups to add to my personal list of tools to keep an eye out for:
Chalcedon Foundation
Institute for Historical Review
Voz de Aztlan (never knew that they are so anti-semitic)
Barnes Review/Foundation for Economic Liberty, Inc.
Westboro Baptist Church (finally know who the fucking assholes behind the "God hates Fags" campagin are)
Charles Martel Society/Occidental Quarterly
Charles Darwin Research Institute
Order of St. Andrew (deeply offensive to me, being proud of my Scottish heritage - wonder what the Russian knighthood of the same name thinks).
Power of Prophecy (sigh... yet another virulent anti-Catholic group)
Lawrence Dennis Institute


Its too bad that there isn't a equally accessible site for Canada.

At least you can check for Social Justice Groups on the same page. I am pleased that there are over twice as many SJ groups in Washington as there are hate groups. Same with Oregon and Idaho. California has almost 4 times as many!

Old news.

This is why I laugh out loud when people go on and on about how "racist and regressive" the South (and parts of the Midwest) is and how "openminded and progressive" other parts of the country are.

Exactly. They make it seem like California, and SD in particular, is so racially progressive.......

There are morons who believe anything EVERYWHERE.......

That last statement was too easy a set up for any of you to turn it into a joke, so don't bother.

Not only are there morons everywhere, but there are groups of morons who have mobilized their resources behind a moronic cause.

People have stereotypical notions of where hate groups are, what they look like, and how they mobilize. There are members of hate groups all over the country who are CEOs with big offices and tailored suits, perhaps presidents of colleges and universities, DEFINITELY college students, so on and so forth.

Sure, we're all against hate groups, but I'm also aware that The Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Project is not doing anything about them - they want them to exist so the SPLC can raise more money.

Next year, they'll find 910 or more hate groups, and urge donors to help stop this growth.

I'll also bet that Osama bin Laden and his friends, who killed 3,000 Americans on 9/11, and minority hate groups like the Crips and Bloods, are not on the SPLC list.

Honeykiss1974 05-24-2005 06:14 PM

The Nation of Islam and the NEW Black Panther Party are on the list.

Tom Earp 05-24-2005 06:32 PM

I Hate everyone. Does that make Me normal?

These People are Very Tiresome.:(

Does Stupidy sound right?

Guess the best thing is to IGNORE THEM!:cool: :D :)

Damn. I just moved from Orlando that has no hate groups to Atlanta that has 5. But, there are twice as many social justice groups in Atlanta than in Orlando.

Okay this is a list or resource covering US hate groups... not groups that hate the US.... and as for the Bloods or Crips - they are criminal gangs - not hate groups.

Aunt Bea's Country Buffet was hosting business meetings for League of the South.

The restaurant is right off Lexington Highway on Whit Davis in Athens, Georgia.

I don't know if they're still doing it but I've managed to get a number of people to boycott this establishment. Does anyone have any more information on Aunt Bea's?

How can you impune an Andy Griffith character?

Aunt Bea's Country Buffet
155 Whit Davis Rd. 543-0470

The saintly, cuddly Andy Griffith character from whom this Southern buffet eatery gets its name peers down from a virtually haloed portrait on the wall, watching diners file past on their way to the all-you-can-eat steam tables of veggies and fried meats. Aunt Bea's actually provides many more healthier options than you might expect, with sugar-free ice cream and traditional Southern cooking prepared with less fat than usual. Recommended for athletes looking to carboload for a low price and to families, who can relax and let their children examine the décor or watch the cult show on one of the many TVs around the walls. Lunch & Dinner, 7 Days. Checks/CC.
