'A resurgence of white nationalism': Hate groups spiked in 2016
CNN ^ | February 15, 2017 | By Sara Ganim, Chris Welch, Nathaniel Meyersohn

(CNN)Across the country, flyers are showing up on college campuses. Some promote blatant neo-Nazi rhetoric, others are much more subtle. "Protect your heritage." "Let's become great again." "Our future belongs to us." "White people, do something." "Serve your people."

They represent a less extreme white supremacist movement targeting the young and educated.

"They're racist, but they have fancy new packaging," said Brian Levin, director for the Center of Hate and Extremism at Cal State San Bernardino. "They learn to downplay the swastikas and get a thesaurus, so instead of white supremacy they use words like identitarian. It's just a repackaged version of white nationalism." On Wednesday, the Southern Poverty Law Center, an Alabama-based organization that monitors hate crimes across the country, released its annual report on extremism in America. The report says the number of groups across the country increased in 2016 to 917, up from 892 in 2015. In 2011, SPLC recorded 1,018 active organizations, the highest tally it found in more than 30 years of tracking hate groups. That number had fallen to 784 in 2014. The largest jump last year occurred in the number of anti-Muslim hate groups, which tripled from 34 in 2015 to 101. . .

The latest FBI crime statistics on hate crimes is for 2015. In that report:

*52.1 percent were victims of crimes motivated by their offenders’ anti-Jewish bias.

*21.9 percent were victims of anti-Islamic (Muslim) bias.

*4.3 percent were victims of anti-Catholic bias.

Anti-Islamic incidents may well have been lower considering the widespread number of reported hoaxes.

Hate and extremism are certainly on the rise. Almost entirely directed against the President and everyone who supports him.

...targeting the young and educated.

If they're going to the college campii to "target" the educated, they're going to the wrong place.

If the left defines “hate” they can come up with whatever numbers they want.

If sane people define “hate” it’ll be a totally different story.

Opposing persecution of blacks is just wonderful.

Opposing persecution of whites is horrible beyond words.

American negroes, you created this. Whites just caved in and gave you everything you asked for. There was a mountain of good will, and you squandered it. You decided to cultivate the grapes of wrath in Satan’s vineyard, and now you’re aghast that the wine isn’t sweet.

The media continues to foment racial discord and it has reached a peak during the election of Trump. I don’t even take them serious anymore.

Worse than Alinsky. They've co-opted the language, Orwell-style. I'm white and could be described as a nationalist (as opposed to a globalist). So using these radical Left groups' terminology, I'm automatically a racist white supremacist. Nasty propaganda, but it's gobbled up by the media.

Of course I'm not racist nor a white supremacist, but I do believe in making the country great again (whoops, they've radicalized those words too!) If idiots want to contribute to hate organizations like the SPLC it's their dime. But to see similar organizations on tax-funded college campuses enrages me! This has to stop.

Two White guys must have stood up and said no to ethnic reprogramming, refusing to wear dunce caps with the label “Whites are Dunces”, and spit polishing the shoes of minorities on university campuses.

What really upsets the far-left is that, as whites became so marginalized that they could no longer ignore the horrific impact on their lives, they began to vote and act in their own self interest like all the other racialngrouos in the country. Buckle up lefties, it has just started.

Well it’s common knowledge that all white people are racist because if they weren’t, they wouldn’t be white. If you get 3 or 4 white people in any kind of group or club then it’s the same as the Klan. Isn’t this what we’ve been told for the last 8 years?

I decided I would briefly glance at their drivel. I knew I would find the psychotic SPLC involved in it. They are the worst liars on the planet, worse than the Asspress.
