Introduction

• The internet is providing a medium for the
  proliferation and spread of hate and
  discrimination.
• Long established groups have found a way to reach
  out to a new and larger audience. This format
  allows groups to entertain and present material
  in a less threatening manner.

Continued

• We will discuss the concepts of Hate, Hate
  crimes, racism and their link to Hate groups.
• Legal ramifications The Hate Crimes Prevention
  Act (1998), and concerns over free speech
  infringement.
• The KKK, American Nazi Party and Euro- David
  Dukes organization are three examples we will
  cover.

KKK-Websitewww.KKK.com

• The KKK website uses Christian fundamentalist
  doctrine to attempt to legitimatize its
  separatist beliefs.
• The website also seeks out confused adolescents
  with a message of belonging.
• The website ultimate goal is to degrade any and
  all races and religions other than white
  Christians.

KKK-Cont.http//www.kkk.com/index1.htm
The KKK believe they are not discriminating
against other groups, only promoting their own.

Proclaiming a Message of hope and deliverance for
White Christian America ! If my people which are
called by my name will humble themselves and pray
and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways
Then I hear from heaven, will forgive their sins
and will heal their land Chronicles 714

Our uncompromising name and principles weed out
cowards and hypocrites, and elicit a high level
of dedication and activity on the part of
Klansmen and Klanswomen nationwide.

  American Nazi party and/or GeorgeLincoln

  his plans were to eliminate all "treasonous Jews,
  through methods used by Hitler's Nazis, banish
  all American Negroes to Africa and amend the
  Constitution of the United States to conform to
  Nazi whims."

1 Identity groups believe that white Europeans,
not Jews, are the real Biblical "Chosen People,"
that Jews are the children of Satan, that the
white race is inherently superior to others and
that Blacks and other non-whites are "mud people"
without a soul.

Definitions

• Hate-To have great aversion to, with a strong
  desire that evil should befall the person toward
  whom the feeling is directed to dislike
  intensely to detest as to hate ones
  enemies.(Webster's dictionary).
• Racism-is an ideology, or belief system designed
  to justify or rationalize the unequal treatment
  of members of socially designed racial groups
  (Simon Henderson).

10

• The FBI defines a hate crime as A criminal
  offense committed against the person or property
  which is motivated, in whole or in part, by the
  offenders bias against race, religion, sexual
  orientation group, or ethnicity/nation origin.

Every hour ...someone commits a hate crime.

• Every day ... at least eight blacks, three
  whites, three gays, three Jews and one Latino
  become hate crime victims.
• Every week ...a cross is burned.

12

• Bias is a human condition, and American history
  is rife with prejudice against groups and
  individuals because of their race, religion,
  disability, sexual orientation or other
  differences.
• The 20th Century saw major progress in outlawing
  discrimination, and most Americans today support
  integrated schools and neighborhoods. But
  stereotypes and unequal treatment persist, an
  atmosphere often exploited by hate groups.
• Spread on the Internet and accessible by
  personal computers, hate clearly knows no
  geographic bounds

Tolerance.org

• The wonder of the Internet has been tarnished
  by hundreds of Web sites that spew hate. Using
  the Net, hatemongers can now reach into the room
  of any child who has a home computer. Their sites
  are often deceptive. Many attempt to disguise
  their message under a veneer of respectability.
  They use manipulation and lies to make their
  ideas sound almost reasonable.

Conclusion

• Hate groups have been around for many years. The
  internet is providing these groups more
  opportunity for recruitment. It is easier to
  reach masses of people on-line than attempting to
  do so in person.
• They can not be stopped because their first
  amendment right allows them freedom of speech.

16

• Caution should be taken to ensure they do not
  reach our children, without our being aware.
  They are often well disguised as promoting
  equality of all people. Hopefully, one day
  people will no longer find the need and desire to
  hate.
