Discuss the known hate groups that have risen up in recent years in America. How do these groups stereotype against minority groups? Do you think white privilege plays a role in the rise of these hate groups?

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) monitoring group, there are 917 hate groups currently operating in the US. The year 2009 had 932 groups, with consecutive years showing a marked increase in numbers. However, figures started decreasing in 2012 (1007 groups) finally reaching a low of 784 groups in 2014. It is important to note that the year 2009 marked President Barrack Obama’s first term in office. After 2014, hate group figures increased, partly due to the difficult presidential campaign of 2016 that fueled extremist ideas. Some categories of hate groups listed by the center are Ku Klux Klan, Neo-Nazi, White Nationalist, Racist Skinhead, Black Separatist, Anti-LGBT, and Anti-Muslim.
The SPLC report also states that the highest increase in hate groups is to be found among the Anti-Muslim groups. Anti-Muslim groups depict Muslims as irrational, violent and intolerant of women and LGBT rights. They portray Islam as an evil religion. These groups increased in numbers after the World Trade Center terrorist attack of September 11th, 2001. Examples of anti-muslim hate groups are the ACT for America, Altra Firearms, Bomb Islam and Center for Security Policy.
White Nationalist hate groups focus on stereotyping non-white communities, which are portrayed as inferior. Groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, Racist Skinhead and Neo-Nazi can also be termed as White Nationalist, as their activities are geared towards demeaning other non-white communities. The largest group in this category of hate groups is the Council of Conservative Citizens. Since March 2016, the SPLC has seen increased fliering activities in college campuses, done by this type of hate group with an aim of attracting and recruiting students.
Black separatist groups are anti-white and generally oppose racial integration. They are interested in having separate institutions for black people. It is thought that theirs is a reaction to years of exposure to white racism. Examples of Black separatist groups are the Black Riders Liberation Party and the Israel United in Christ.
White privilege has to some extent played a role in the rise of these hate groups. The “Black Lives Matter” social media campaign, for example, exposed instances of white privilege and racism within America. Through it, attention was brought to police brutality against black people.
