SPLC Report: The Year In Hate
The Southern Poverty Law Center has released a report, "The Year in Hate," that says "the latest annual count of hate groups operating in the United States rose to 888 last year, capping a 48% increase since 2000."
It adds that "new FBI statistics suggest a 35 percent rise in hate crimes against Latinos between 2003 and 2006. Experts believe that such crimes are typically carried out by people who think they are attacking immigrants."
The SPLC's interactive website allows users to view the hate groups active in their state, provides profiles of twenty of the country's most influential anti-immigrant activists, and contains links to all the articles in the report.
