With the growing number of hate groups in the U.S., do you think....?

we'll see a huge spike in lies and negative propaganda against illegal immigrants? How can you determine who's telling us the truth?

Hate Group Numbers Up By 54% Since 2000

The number of hate groups operating in the United States continued to rise in 2008 and has grown by 54 percent since 2000 — an increase fueled last year by immigration fears, a failing economy and the successful campaign of Barack Obama, according to the "Year in Hate" issue of the SPLC's Intelligence Report released today.

Extremists are also exploiting the economic crisis, spreading propaganda that blames minorities and immigrants for the subprime mortgage meltdown. Tough economic times historically provide fertile ground for extremist movements.

As this issue of the Intelligence Report points out, minority-bashing propaganda can spread rapidly through the media, even when it has no basis in fact. The issue examines the widespread media reporting of a false claim that undocumented immigrants held 5 million bad mortgages and were, therefore, responsible for the subprime mortgage crisis.

youarewrongbobisright, please re-read the article. When you do, you will notice that it's not only white groups listed there.

Yes. I agree with that. I think they are exploiting the media just because of their hate. they are not happy, their lives are screwed so they don't care.

Latest 2007 FBI Crime Statistics
After rising for two straight years, the estimated number of violent crimes in the nation declined in 2007. Property crime declined for the fifth straight year. And each of the seven specific offense categories -- from aggravated assault to murder -- was down from 2006, according to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program. The agency annually releases statistics on violent crimes like murder, rape and robbery and on property crimes such as burglary and vehicle theft. Not all agencies participate in the voluntary UCR program and therefore are not reflected in the data.

Each year the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program collects monthly counts of crimes from thousands of law enforcement agencies. This includes information about violent crime offenses (murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault), and property crime offenses (burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson). Not all agencies participate in the voluntary UCR program and therefore are not reflected in the data. Select a city for detailed crime data on that city.

An important note about the numbers: The report features a prominent message cautioning against using the statistics to rank cities or counties. Such rankings can lead to simplistic or incomplete analyses, overlooking the many variables impacting crime and its reporting.

I guess you believe everything you read too Tony. You forgot to mention that bit of info about the link you refer to as accurate and factual. Talk about a biased piece of reporting. The majority of the groups they focused on to include in their list are white associated hate groups. So which race do you think most others are going to focus on? The neo- Conferates? Or the Black Separatists?

edit: I just checked for "Hate Crime - Crime in the United States 2008". Funny those Hate Crime Statistics aren't even out yet. Only 2007's. Now if my local Chief of police gets the new 2008 reports, I'll see them around Oct. of this year.

Released January 12, 2008 Preliminary still indicates lies being told by your link. What a surprise is that though eh!

Preliminary figures indicate that, as a whole, law enforcement agencies throughout the Nation reported a decrease of 3.5 percent in the number of violent crimes brought to their attention for the first six months of 2008 when compared with figures reported for the same time in 2007. The violent crime category includes murder, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. The number of property crimes in the United States from January to June of 2008 decreased 2.5 percent when compared with data from the same time period in 2007. Property crimes include burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft. Arson is also a property crime, but data for arson are not included in property crime totals. Figures for 2008 indicate that arson decreased 5.6 percent in 2008 when compared to 2007 figures.

The data presented in Tables 1 and 2 indicate the percent change in offenses known to law enforcement for 2007 and 2008 by population group and geographic region, respectively. Table 3 reflects the percent change within the Nation for consecutive years (each year compared to the prior year). Table 4 presents the number of offenses known to law enforcement for agencies having a resident population of 100,000 and over and providing 6 months of complete data for 2008. In addition, Table 4 presents 6 months of 2007 data, where available, as a point of comparison. All data in this report are preliminary.

Perhaps, but it can't get much worse than it is now. However, one thing that is true is that if a person is here illegally, it's wrong.

dipstick

I've never met a single educated person that believes the SPLC, sorry.

youarewrongbobisright

Yeah groups like:

Mecha
Laraza
Lulac
Maldef

Are very racist groups that push one race agenda forward for their best interests.

These groups try to claim that others groups are worse (like the white supremacy groups) but since the white racist groups only have a few members while the hispanic groups have millions of members it certainly shows which side are the racists.

All stupidity aside Tony - you know that in every group there are people who hate others just because they are different. That is ALWAYS wrong and just because one group is a minority does not grant them absolution. If you feel it's OK to be a racist if you are a hispanic then you just lost!

EDIT: By the way.....Are the people at the SPLC just plain stupid or what????????????

According to their "research" the only "hate groups" in CA (and every other state) seem to be the white groups. I guess according to the SPLC only whites can hate but all other groups are really just loving when they strive towards race hatred.

2ND EDIT: I read the article - YOU need to go to their maps and look at the lists of hate groups. IN the ENTIRE state of CA there are lots & lots of white hate groups, a few who hate immigrants and a couple of black ones but SURPRISE, no hispanic ones or any others for that matter!! LOL what a joke tony! Does anyone really believe LULAC isn't a hate group??!!??

Again you post links that are irrelevant, inaccurate, biased, racist and just plain misleading.

Remember folks, any idiot can put up a web site and post all kinds of drivel as fact.
