List of organizations designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center as hate groups
Encyclopedia
The following is a list of U.S.-based organizations classified by the Southern Poverty Law Center
(SPLC) as hate group
s, excluding those that appear to exist only on the Internet. The SPLC is named as a resource by the Federal Bureau of Investigation
in the Bureau's fight against hate crimes.
The SPLC defines hate groups as those which "... have beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for their immutable characteristics." The SPLC states that hate group activities may include speeches, marches, rallies, meetings, publishing, leafleting, and criminal acts such as violence, although not all groups listed by the SPLC engage in criminal activity.
The SPLC reported that 926 hate groups were active in the United States in 2008, up from 888 in 2007. These included:
Only organizations active in 2008 were counted, excluding those that appear to exist only on the Internet. In addition, SPLC reported there were 159 Patriot movement
groups active in the United States in 2008, up from 131 in 2007, with at least one such group in every state. They maintain 141 websites.
Since 1981 the SPLC's Intelligence Project has published a quarterly Intelligence Report that monitors what the SPLC considers radical right
hate group
s and extremists in the United States. The Intelligence Report provides information regarding organizational efforts and tactics of these groups, and is cited by scholars as reliable and as the most comprehensive source on U.S. right-wing extremism and hate groups. In addition to the Intelligence Report, the SPLC publishes the HateWatch Weekly newsletter that follows racism and extremism, and the Hatewatch blog whose subtitle
is "Keeping an Eye on the Radical Right". Two articles published in Intelligence Report have won Green Eyeshade Excellence in Journalism awards from the Society of Professional Journalists
: Communing with the Council written by Heidi Beirich and Bob Moser took third place for Investigative Journalism in the Magazine Division in 2004, and Southern Gothic by David Holthouse and Casey Sanchez
, which took second place for Feature Reporting in the Magazine Division in 2007. On March 20, 2009 the Intelligence Project received a Distinguished Public Service Award from the American Immigration Law Foundation for its “outstanding work” covering the anti-immigration movement.

attitudes against or discrimination against LGBT people, violence against LGBT people, LGBT rights opposition
and religious opposition to homosexuality
. Many group conflate gender
and social identities
with sexual identity
, for instance referring to LGBT people as only gay or pejoratively as "homosexual".

is prejudice
against, hatred or fear of Islam
or Muslim
s.
The term seems to date back to the late 1980s,
but came into common usage after the September 11, 2001 attacks
in the United States to refer to types of political dialogue that appeared prejudicially resistant to pro-Islamic argument.
is a blanket term for various racist ideologies which hold that Africans are superior to other races. A common manifestation is bigotry towards persons not of African ancestry. Many of these theories espouse an ideology of a past Black Supremacy in the world that has been lost. Some focus on claiming this supremacy by claiming they are the chosen people in one religion or another. Due to some commonly held separatist ideologies, some black supremacist organizations have found limited common cause with white supremacist or extremist organizations.
(CI) is a label applied to a wide variety of loosely affiliated believers and churches with a racialized theology. Many promote a Eurocentric
interpretation of Christianity
. CI emerged as an offshoot sect from British Israelism
in the 1920s and 1930s. According to Chester L. Quarles, professor of criminal justice at the University of Mississippi
, some of the CI movement's followers hold that non-Caucasian
peoples have no souls, and can therefore never earn God's favor or be saved. Believers in the theology affirm that Jesus Christ paid only for the sins of the House of Israel and the House of Judah and that salvation must be received through both redemption and race. No single document expresses the CI belief system; however, adherents draw upon arguments from linguistic, historical, archaeological and Biblical
sources to support their beliefs. Estimates are that these groups have 2,000 to 50,000 members in the United States of America
, and an unknown number in Canada
and the rest of the British Commonwealth
. Christian Identity believers reject the beliefs of most contemporary Christian denominations. In turn, most modern Christian denominations and organizations denounce Christian Identity as heresy
and condemn the use of the Christian Bible
as a basis for promoting anti-Semitism.
is the act of denying the genocide
of Jews
in World War II
, usually referred to as the Holocaust
. The key claims of Holocaust denial are: the German Nazi
government had no official policy or intention of exterminating Jews
, Nazis did not use extermination camps and gas chamber
s to mass murder
Jews, and the actual number of Jews killed was an order of magnitude
lower than the historically accepted figure of 5 to 6 million. Holocaust deniers generally do not accept the term "denial
" as an appropriate description of their activities, and use the term "revisionism
" instead. Scholars use the term "denial" to differentiate Holocaust deniers from historical revisionists
, who use established historical methodologies
. The methodologies of Holocaust deniers are criticized as based on a predetermined conclusion that ignores extensive historical evidence to the contrary. Most Holocaust denial claims imply, or openly state, that the Holocaust is a hoax arising out of a deliberate Jewish conspiracy to advance the interest of Jews at the expense of other peoples. For this reason, Holocaust denial is generally considered to be an antisemitic conspiracy theory
.
, often abbreviated "KKK" and informally known as "The Klan", is the name of three distinct past and present far-right organizations in the United States
, which have advocated extremist reactionary
currents such as white supremacy
, white nationalism
, and anti-immigration
, historically expressed through terrorism
. Since the mid-20th century, the KKK has also been anti-communist. The current manifestation is splintered into several chapters and is classified as a hate group
.
is a term used by academics to describe the views of various groups and individuals who have a positive belief system concerning the historical experience of the Confederate States of America
, the Southern secession, and the Southern United States
including proslavery ideology. Neo-Confederacy usually expresses veneration for Confederate leaders, soldiers, writers, and other supporters for the Confederacy and its symbols. It advocates alternative interpretations of the Civil War, the history of the South
, and American history
in general, particularly the American founding
. It sees the South as victims of war crimes and Constitutional violations by Lincoln
, the North
, and the Union
armies. Proslavery ideology. arose in the antebellum
United States as a reaction to the growing antislavery movement in the United States in the late 18th century and early 19th century. The SPLC is the principal group reporting on the "neo-Confederate movement." A special report by the SPLC's Mark Potok in Intelligence Report described a number of groups as "neo-Confederate" in 2000. The SPLC has carried subsequent articles on the neo-confederate movement. "Lincoln Reconstructed," published in 2003 in the Intelligence Report, focuses on the resurgent demonization of Abraham Lincoln
in the South. "Whitewashing the Confederacy" was a review that alleged that the movie Gods and Generals
presented a false, pro-Confederate view of history.
consists of post-World War II
social or political movements seeking to revive Nazism
or some variant thereof. The term neo-Nazism can also refer to the ideology
of these movements. Although it does not have a single coherent philosophy, Neo-Nazism borrows elements from Nazi doctrine, including militant nationalism
, fascism
, racism
, xenophobia
, and anti-Semitism
. Holocaust denial
is a common feature, as is incorporation of Nazi symbols, admiration of Adolf Hitler
, and hateful rhetoric. It is related to the white nationalist
and white power skinhead movements in many countries. Due to the odious history of Nazism and the violence associated with neo-Nazis, these movements tend to operate in isolated or underground factions that attract disaffected individuals. Neo-Nazi activity appears to be a global phenomenon, with organized representation in many countries, as well as international networks. Some Europe
an and Latin America
n countries have laws prohibiting the expression of pro-Nazi, racist, anti-Semitic or homophobic views. In an effort to curtail neo-Nazism, Germany's legal code bans many Nazi-related symbols, as do the laws of other European countries.
is music associated with and promoting neo-Nazism
and white supremacy
ideologies. Although musicologists
point out that many, if not most, early cultures had songs to promote themselves and denigrate any perceived enemies, the origin of racist music is tied to the early 1970s. By 2001, there were many music genres with white power rock, the most commonly represented band type, followed by National Socialist black metal
. Racist country music is mainly an American phenomena while Germany, Great Britain, and Sweden have higher concentration of white power bands. Other music genres include fascist experimental music and racist folk music. Contemporary white-supremacist groups include "subcultural factions that are largely organized around the promotion and distribution of racist music". According to the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission
"racist music is principally derived from the far-right skinhead movement and, through the Internet, this music has become perhaps the most important tool of the international neo-Nazi movement to gain revenue and new recruits." The news documentary VH1
News Special: Inside Hate Rock (2002) noted that racist music (also called "hate music" and "skinhead rock") is "a breeding ground for home-grown terrorists". In 2004 a neo-Nazi record company launched "Project Schoolyard" to distribute free CDs of the music into the hands of up to 100,000 teenagers throughout the U.S., their website stated, "We just don't entertain racist kids ... We create them." Brian Houghton, of the National Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism
, said that racist music was a great recruiting tool, "Through music ... to grab these kids, teach them to be racists and hook them for life".
and anti-semitic offshoot of the skinhead
subculture
. Many of them are affiliated with white nationalist
organizations. The original skinhead
subculture started in the late 1960s
, and had heavy British
mod and Jamaica
n rude boy
influences — including an appreciation for ska
, early reggae
and soul music
. The identity of skinheads in the 1960s was neither based on white power
nor neo-Nazism
, but some skinheads (including black
skinheads) had engaged in "gay-bashing", "hippy-bashing" and/or "Paki bashing" (violence against random Pakistanis and other Asian
immigrants). The original scene had mostly died out by 1972, and a late-1970s
revival came partly as a backlash against the commercialization of punk rock
. This revival coincided with the development of the 2 Tone
and Oi!
music genre
s. The skinhead revival in Britain included a sizeable white nationalist
faction. Because of this, the mainstream media began to label the whole skinhead identity as neo-Nazi. The racist subculture eventually spread to North America
, Europe
and other areas of the world. In 1988, there were approximately 2,000 neo-Nazi skinheads in the US. According to a 2007 report by the Anti-Defamation League
, groups such as white power skinheads, neo-Nazis, and the Ku Klux Klan, have been growing more active in the United States in recent years, with a particular focus on opposing non-white immigration
, specifically from Mexico
.
is a term to describe those who adhere to radical traditional Catholicism. It is used derisively in modern times by some who believe that certain Catholics have falsely elevated theological
differences into differences in dogma
, by degrees. For example, the term was used by liberal Catholics at the time of St. Pius X (Papacy 1903 to 1914) to deride those who defended his encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis
. These include those who separate the Holy See
from the governance of Catholic faith, especially where it concerns the Latin Mass
and reject what since 1970 is the normative form of the Mass in favor of the Mass of the 1962 Missal
(which is recognized as an extraordinary form of the Roman Rite
), but the term also is used toward some who believe and practice other forms of traditional Catholicism. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center
radical traditionalist Catholics who "may make up the largest single group of serious anti-Semites in America, subscribe to an ideology that is rejected by the Vatican and some 70 million mainstream American Catholics and many of their leaders have been condemned and even excommunicated by the official church. Adherents of radical traditional Catholicism "routinely pillory Jews as 'the perpetual enemy of Christ, reject the ecumenical
efforts of the Vatican, and sometimes assert all recent Popes are illegitimate. Adherents are also "incensed by the liberalizing reforms" of the Second Vatican Council
(1962-65) which condemned hatred for Jewish people and "rejected the accusation that Jews are collectively responsible for deicide
in the form of the crucifixion of Christ." Radical traditional Catholics also embrace "extremely conservative social ideals
with respect to women." In certain cultures the term 'integrism' has become synonymous with fundamentalism
or religious fanaticism
and is used in a broader sense.
is a political ideology which advocates a racial
definition of national identity
for white people
, as opposed to multiculturalism
, and a separate all-white nation state. White separatism
and white supremacism are subgroups within white nationalism. The former seek a separate white nation state, while the latter add ideas from social Darwinism
and National Socialism
to their ideology. The vast majority of white nationalists are separatists, and only a smaller number are supremacists. Both schools of thought generally avoid the term supremacy, saying it has negative connotations. The contemporary white nationalist movement in the United States could be regarded as a reaction to what is perceived as a decline in white demographics, politics and culture. According to Samuel P. Huntington
, the contemporary white nationalist movement is increasingly cultured, intellectual and academically trained. Some have suggested that rather than espousing violence, White Nationalists use statistics and social science data to argue for a self-conscious white identity. By challenging established policy on immigration, civil rights and racial integration, they seek to build bridges with moderately conservative white citizens.
