Any group that attempts to uplift their own by promoting hatred or oppression towards others is a "hate group." Both of these groups (or at least the more outspoken representatives) are viewed as doing both.

They'd looooove that. It gives them more time to do whatever they do. Don't let it BLOW UP (pun intended) in our faces.

Yeah, minority hate groups are on there but I guess you made this statement without knowing what a "hate group" is and exactly what the Crips and Bloods are all about.

Here I thought that the list is about American hate groups. Guess you learn something new everyday. What did I learn? That Osama bin Laden is an American.

Speaking of hate groups, did anyone catch FOXNews today - specifically the Louis Farrakhan spot, with the New Black Panther (same assholes that blamed 9/11 on Israel) spokesman... it was nice to see racism, bigotry and revisionist history given a nice glossy image on the TV... hmmm I wonder - the guy sounded just like PHA/Shriner... has he been moonlighting as a spokesman for the New Black Panthers when he's not here on GC?

Heard this on NPR on the way in to work. Following excerpted from CNN.
DURHAM, North Carolina (AP) -- Three large crosses were burned in separate spots around the city during a span of just over an hour, and yellow fliers with Ku Klux Klan sayings were found at one location, police said.
The cross burnings Wednesday night marked the first time in recent memory that one of the South's most notorious symbols of racial hatred has been seen in the city.

Most of the hate groups in Illinois are in the Chicago area. Lucky us!
There is another link where you can find out information about hate sites. Stormfront has a kids page! That scares me.

Well, while there are hate groups everywhere, there does seem to be a proportionately larger amount of them in the Southern states. South Carolina has more hate groups than California, even though it has, oh, just slightly over 1/10th as many people. While that certainly doesn't mean that South Carolina is more racist than California, it may indicate that racism takes a more overt (or more organized) form there.
Then again, if you look at some of the Southern states (Georgia, for example), the divide between black separatist groups and pro-Aryan groups is closer to being equal than it is in many of the non-Southern states -- take Wisconsin, for example, where only one of the ten listed groups is a black separatist group.
I don't think you can infer much about the racism of various states based on a list of hate groups.

Funny, when I think of hate groups I generally think of the white supremacist groups in the upper plains and mountain states.
I suppose it depends on your personal viewpoint.
Mine was solidified when a radio talk show host friend was murdered by "The Aryan Nations." We worked in the same station in Denver.
He was Jewish and really took hate groups to task on the air. He was shot numerous times with a MAC-10 automatic wepon outside his apartment here.

So, you went through all of that just to agree with me. The whole country has issues.

That and how the national media (including news and movies) portrays these groups in a stereotypical manner.
Your experience gives you a more open mind and prohibits you from dismissing overt racism and hate groups as an overwhelmingly "Southern phenomenon."

Well technically, Crips and Bloods are only hate groups when you don't pay for your drugs you got from them and they beat the isht outta you...
But I know a whole lotta gang bangers that dated any and everythang and the fish stopped moving when they walked into the room...
So, I don't see how much hate they have toward a specific group. Well, maybe against crack addicts...
Crack Addicts UNTIE!!!
