2018 The FBI Says Hate Crimes Are Soaring. It Actually Has No Idea . We could have fixed this problem years ago. We didn't. The truth is that our stats remain unsound, even decades after all these fights to make them more definitive. The FBI reports required by the 1990 legislation don't really help us measure long-term trends with any certainty or nuance; instead they function more as broad, symbolic figures of the problem. Yet despite this broadening of categories, and larger pool of potential hate crime victims, the FBI data actually suggest that numbers have drifted downward over time.

Imagine a society in which everyone more or less agrees with you. You wake up in the morning to online greetings from people who share your views on guns, religion and country. Your news feed contains only posts from like-minded politicians or articles from like-minded news outlets. You can safely post your own comments without fear of vitriol from trolls or challenges from naysayers. This is the insular world in which tens of thousands of Americans who use conservative political apps are experiencing the midterm election season.
GOP Conservative HATE Group “feels like the big social platforms, Facebook and Twitter, are not sympathetic to their views,” said Thomas Peters, the chief executive of uCampaign, which develops apps for Republican candidates and right-leaning causes . They get around all the rules set up to protect the public but none of this applies to them.
What is the difference between the right-wing platform Gab that was taken down after Pittsburgh shooting,and the private media apps that deliver curated partisan news feeds on what are effectively private social media platforms, free from the strictures and content guidelines imposed by Silicon Valley giants. Some allow supporters to comment on posts or contribute their own, with less risk that their posts will be flagged as offensive or abusive. Anyone in the United States may download uCampaign apps, Mr. Peters said, but they give a campaign the ability to bar interlopers who post messages challenging the campaign's positions. The Great America app juxtaposes a mix of enthusiastic posts about Mr. Trump and photos of puppies with anti-immigrant memes like “Today's illegals, tomorrow's Democrats.” One recent post, with an image depicting nooses, read: “Noose flash: Treason still punishable by death.”

'Trail of Tears: Cherokee Legacy' Mar. 13, 2006
referred to as "America's darkest hour."
Indians, Historians, Celebrities Recount Shameful Era In New
Documentary: '
Trail of Tears: Cherokee Legacy
' -- on the forced removal in 1838 of the Cherokee Nation from the
southeastern United States to Oklahoma. Adolph Hitler studied
President Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Act of 1830 and that
"American Holocaust" before attempting to eradicate Europe's Jews.
Story research, development and production took almost a full
decade to get the highly endorsed, critically accurate educational
film to the screen. Wes Studi, the best known Cherokee actor,
presents the documentary film, speaking on camera in his native
tongue (with subtitles). Noted actor James Earl Jones, who is of
blended African and Cherokee heritage, narrates.
"Uniquely, a Cherokee is recounting this shameful chapter in
American history," said Steven R. Heape, Executive Producer and a
Citizen of the Cherokee
Nation.This is no 'Hollywoodization' of an American holocaust. The
Trail of Tears actually drove the Five Civilized Tribes --
Cherokee, Choctaw, Seminole, Chickasaw and Muscogee Creek -- from
their native lands." "The Jacksonian policy led to a brutal, cross
country tre in which nearly a quarter of the tribal citizens, died
from hunger, exposure, disease and sheer exhaustion," Richie
noted."My reason for wanting to accurately tell this story goes
back to the day in 1985 when I received my tribal citizenship. My
Uncle Gene Heape of Dallas sat me down and told me the story of
the Trail of Tears. In proper Cherokee culture, this was his
responsibility and is 'the way' in which younger Cherokees learn
the true story of our people.

Gunfire on school grounds in the United States
2013 - present
In recent years, the gun lobby has promoted a state legislative agenda that would ultimately allow anyone to carry a gun anywhere. As a result, legislators have considered bills that remove any and all limitations on gun carrying, which would allow guns in some of society's most vulnerable spaces, like schools, public parks, and bars, and would let anyone carry a concealed handgun in public without a permit, even if they have a violent criminal record and haven't undergone any training.

6/8/17 Charity website flags dozens of nonprofits as hate groups A website that touts itself as the world's largest source of information about charities has added a new feature: a warning label on tax-exempt nonprofits accused of spreading hate. GuideStar, a self-described “neutral” repository for data on more than 2 million charities , recently flagged 46 nonprofits for being labeled as hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center. A banner atop each nonprofit's GuideStar profile includes the law center's logo and a link to its home page. GuideStar's president and CEO, Jacob Harold, said the new feature reflects a “broader shift in how we imagine our role in the (nonprofit) field.” Adding new data sources is part of that shift, but Harold also framed the warning labels as a response to the recent rise in “hateful rhetoric” in the U.S. One of the red-flagged groups is a modestly funded nonprofit operated by white nationalist Richard Spencer, who popularized the term “alt-right” to describe a fringe movement blending racist, anti-Semitic and anti-immigration views. The hate list also includes several organizations with multimillion-dollar budgets, such as the Federation for American Immigration Reform , the Family Research Council and the American Family Association .

family and financial interests in the American South and had

The Radical Republicans
were a faction of American politicians within the Republican Party
of the United States from around 1854 (before the American Civil
War) until the end of Reconstruction in 1877. They called
themselves "Radicals" and were opposed during the War by the
Moderate Republicans (led by President Abraham Lincoln), by the
conservative Republicans, and the largely pro-slavery and later
anti-Reconstruction Democratic Party, as well as by conservatives
in the South and liberals in the North during Reconstruction.
In the 1940s, "Superman" was a radio sensation. But after fighting Hitler and Hirohito, writers were looking for a new enemy. That's where Folklorist Stetson Kennedy comes in. With the Ku Klux Klan gaining popularity, he successfully infiltrated the group in order to divulge its motivations and rituals. Using Kennedy's research, the writers of "Superman" exposed the group's inner workings in their “Clan of the Fiery Cross” series where Superman takes on the KKK.

How a network of citizen-spies foiled Nazi plots to
exterminate Jews in 1930s L.A
Within weeks of going undercover, Lewis' network of spies
discovered a plot to wrest control of armories in San Francisco,
L.A. and San Diego — part of a larger plan to take over local
governments and carry out a mass execution of Jews. Lewis
immediately informed L.A. Police Chief James Edgar “Two-Gun” Davis
of
the Nazi scheme to seize weapons and, as Lewis warned in a
memo later, to “foster a fascist form of government in the
United States.”
Lewis was shocked when Davis interrupted him to defend Hitler.
The police chief, he noted in the memo, told him: “Germans could
not compete economically with the Jews in Germany and had been
forced to take the action they did.” The greatest danger the city
faced, Davis insisted, was not from Nazis but from communists
living in the heavily Jewish neighborhood of Boyle Heights. As far
as Davis was concerned, every communist was a Jew and every Jew a
communist. Lewis got a similar response from the Sheriff's
Department and local FBI agents, many of whom were sympathetic to
the Nazis and fascists. He decided he had to continue the
operation, and his spies agreed.
Donald's Father Fred Trump was arrested when anti-Catholic Ku
Klux Klansmen
attacked police in
New York in 1927.
Fun fact: On Memorial Day of 1927, Trump's father was arrested at
a KKK rally in Queens, NY What is known, according to a New York
Times article about clashes between the Klan and New York City's
“Catholic” police force, was that Trump's father was arrested and
released by police in relation to the march. According to the
Post, a flyer passed around the neighborhood ahead of the Klan
rally described the need for the rally. “The predication for the
Klan to march, according to a flier passed around Jamaica
beforehand, was that 'Native-born Protestant Americans' were being
“assaulted by Roman Catholic police of New York City,'” Post
reporter Philip Bump wrote in February 2016. “'Liberty and
Democracy have been trampled upon,' it continued, 'when
native-born Protestant Americans dare to organize to protect one
flag, the American flag; one school, the public school; and one
language, the English language.'”
One Trump family mystery involves a 1927 New York Times story
that reported Fred Trump was arrested at a KKK rally and march
in Jamaica, Queens.
When I asked Mary about this, she replied that
she never heard this matter discussed within her family, but she
added, “I have no doubt which side he would've been on.” Fred,
she explained, was “quite anti-Semitic,” and, as she has said
elsewhere, the n-word was routinely used within her family
circle.
She also shared her view that Donald Trump inherited his father's
bigotry. “He's racist,” Mary said of her uncle. “It has to be said
honestly and straightforwardly.” —

- Donald Trump's money originally came from his German grandfather
Friedrich Trump who ran a whore house, bar, to gold miners in
British Columbia.
To that end, they want Trump to follow through on the most
extreme immigration ideas he's discussed
— such as deporting millions of undocumented immigrants and
banning Muslim immigration. These steps, they think, will slow
what they call the “dispossession” of America's whites. But the
alt-right wants Trump to go even further. They want him to slash
rates of legal immigration and defund groups that advocate for
immigrants, like La Raza. Ultimately, they want Trump to push the
boundaries of acceptable opinion to the point where the nakedest
of naked racism becomes permissible in mainstream public
discourse.

ROUGH MUSIC
AND THE KKK
An Evolutionary Psychological Perspective on Cultures of Honor - Bryan Palmer explains the connections between charivari, rough music and forerunners of the KKK in American Southern history in a Canadian journal called Labour. A key element of cultures of honor is that men in these cultures are prepared to protect with violence the reputation for strength and toughness. There's new scholarship on Klan history, including the role of women in the Klan. Yes, identity, as happens, plays a significant, three-pronged, role in honor. Honor influences shared identities, often through nationalism. Primarily the KKK hated Catholic, Jewish, Black and Franco-American, French Canadian communities.
Klan was involved in labor disputes
(keeping the IWW out of timber camps) and prohibition enforcement.
The Klan in El Paso in the 1920s photographed cars crossing the
Mexican border to buy liquor as well. In Augusta County Virginia
the Anglophile thing crops up, at about the same time as the Klan.
See David Whisnant's chapters on John Powell, Annabelle Morris
Buchanon, and the Whitetop Folk Festival.
Definite connection between Anglophilia, eugenics, and folk
music.
Also connections between Anglophilia and folk music were also
expressed in historical pageants in the 1910s and 1920s that
combined social reform and dance, and celebrated a revisionist
view of the Anglo roots of American culture.
Cambridge was one of the first sites of the English-inspired dance
and song revival in America.
Cecil Sharp set off from here to "discover" unchanged
"Elizabethan" ballads in the southern mountains
. A generation later, a museum in Lincoln held "
Robin Hood festivals
"--the same town where Sharp helped to found the Country Dance and
Song Society of America, the New World branch of the English Folk
Dance Society that he had founded in 1911.
Also in Cambridge, Harvard playwright Percy MacKaye, a former
student of Child's, held a 1917 performance in Harvard Stadium of
"Caliban," his classically-draped Shakespeare tercentenary pageant
for which Sharp helped script the "Elizabethan" dance interlude,
"Sumer is y-cumen in. " Women's colleges like nearby Radcliffe
were also involved in pageants and used them either to dramatize
political issues such as the campaign for women suffrage or for
entertainment, such as celebrating romanticized versions of
calendar customs like May Day.
Many of these historical pageants themselves were descended from
commemorative re-enactments of the 18th century. Patriots Day,
commemorating Battle ofLexington in 1775 that began the
Revolution, reached a climax in 1925 in Lexington, on the battle's
150th anniversary, again at a time of heightened xenophobia.
ROUGH MUSIC - WHO IS A REBEL VS WHO IS A PATRIOT
''Rough music,'' also known as ''skimmington'' in England and ''charivari'' in France, occurred when a community took the law into its own hands against a deviant, who was beaten, roughed up, or run out of town. A public procession usually climaxed the event. The playing of real, rough music, such as banging on drums and pots and pans, gave the practice its name. It is impossible to say when rough music became frequent in the colonies. Before the 1730s there were few newspapers, and incidents in rural areas, if there were any, have not survived in any accessible historical records. All we can say is that rough music in the form of skimmington first began to be noted regularly beginning in the 1730s, when colonial society was exhibiting the strains of conflict between increasingly cosmopolitan, anglicized elites and a localist populace defending traditional sexual morals and community norms.Early manifestations of rough music hint at the disruptions that were just around the corner: the New Hampshire riots over masts reserved for the Royal Navy in 1739; the Stono slave revolt in South Carolina the same year; the Great Awakening; the Massachusetts land bank crisis of 1739-41; the raucous Philadelphia election of 1742; and the perhaps imaginary lower-class/slave New York ''Conspiracy of 1741.'' All these events pitted cosmopolitan religious, political, or mercantile elites against locally oriented communities. Similarly, Bostonians improvised variations on rough music to bring down the governing elite of Massachusetts in the 1760s. Formal revolutionary bodies and informal crowds did likewise to secure the Revolution from loyalists, who retaliated in kind.
The
chivalry/Klan connection

of race relations after the Civil War at Chapel Hill. Also see:

Intersection between Cultural Identity and Racist Ideology
TEACH HISTORY THROUGH SONG
Songs Teach Respect and Tolerance
Hate Songs being sung by "folk groups" at "folk music events" is
where you may findcases of groups parading their culture
art/music etc. as trophies of their superiority over others.
Many folklorists have researched this, especially in Eastern
Europe around WWII. The myth-building aspects of groups, how the
group defines itself through its clothes, music, stories, etc., is
an area upon which folklorists focus.
Examples
:
"European cultural festivals" that this neo-Nazi group has been
staging in cities across the U.S.
2002, there was a large gathering in Cleveland, so successful that
it essentially boosted its NA organizer into place as successor to
the late
William Pierce
, the group's founder. The most recent event took place in St.
Louis on November 9th. National Alliance Bulletin:
"The event attracted over 200 people and was quite a success,
particularly considering that this was their first event and the
publicity for it was quite limited. A delicious buffet dinner was
served while an accomplished accordionist treated the audience to
traditional European melodies. The program also featured Scottish
bagpipers, Scottish Highland dancers, Irish dancers, Scandinavian
dancers, and a German Schuplattler dance group. Later in the
program a German brass band played for dancing. Many thanks to out
to St. Louis Local Unit Coordinator Aaron Collins and the St.
Louis Unit for all the hard work and effort they put into making
this event a success."

Why do people believe myths about the Confederacy
?
Because our textbooks and monuments are wrong. False history
marginalizes African Americans and makes us all dumber.
History is the polemics of the victor, William F. Buckley
allegedly said. Not so in the United States, at least not
regarding the Civil War. As soon as Confederates laid down their
arms, some picked up their pens and began to distort what they had
done, and why. Their resulting mythology went national a
generation later and persists — which is why a presidential
candidate can suggest that slavery was somehow pro-family, and the
public believes that the war was mainly fought over states'
rights. The Confederates won with the pen (and the noose) what
they could not win on the battlefield: the cause of white
supremacy and the dominant understanding of what the war was all
about. Neo-Confederates put up monuments that flatly lied about
the Confederate cause. Teaching or implying that the Confederate
states seceded for states' rights is not accurate history. It is
white, Confederate-apologist history. It bends — even breaks — the
facts of what happened. Like other U.S. history textbooks,
“Journey” needs to be de-Confederatized. So does the history test
we give to immigrants who want to become U.S. citizens. We are
still digging ourselves out from under the misinformation that
they spread, which has manifested in both our history books and
our public monuments.
Take Down the Confederate Flag
The Confederate flag is a political, military, and cultural emblem glorifying white supremacy and enslavement of African-Americans -- glorifying a culture and economic system largely based on this enslavement system. Waving these flags is just a more publicly-acceptable face for KKK culture . The Confederate flags were flags of states attempting to secede from the Union. Secession is treason. As such, these flags certainly should not be hung on USA government property. And actually, public display of such flags would seem to be a criminal act.
In the American South during the aftermath of the Civil War, a
terrorist organization emerged. Cloaked in ghostly disguise, it
sought to murder and maim in the dead of night as it set out to
impose its ideological agenda. For several years the governmental
response was ineffectual. Finally, in 1871, the U.S. Congress and
President Ulysses S. Grant took action and initiated a new policy
in South Carolina. 1871 Oct 12,
President Grant condemned the Ku Klux Klan

Until March 1, 2003, the Service was part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The Secret Service Division was created on July 5, 1865 in Washington, D.C., to suppress counterfeit currency. Chief William P. Wood was sworn in by Secretary of the Treasury Hugh McCulloch. 1867 Secret Service responsibilities were broadened to include "detecting persons perpetrating frauds against the government." This appropriation resulted in investigations into the Ku Klux Klan, non-conforming distillers, smugglers, mail robbers, land frauds, and a number of other infractions against the federal laws. Scotland's darker role in the slave trade is also well known. Scots were influential in founding the Ku Klux Klan, including the traditional Scottish symbol of the burning cross and the KKK's oath ceremony, which originated from a Highland custom. The campaign against Al Qaeda and its allies is not the United States' first war on terror. The Klan dispensed vigilante justice after the Civil War.
KKK - Ku Klux Klan in Georgia, 1871
"Following the Civil War, the federal government brought newly
freed people into the political and economic sphere through a
variety of efforts known as
Radical Reconstruction
. But planters, unwilling to lose control over African-American
laborers, attempted to rule the South through violence and legal
and economic intimidation.
The secret terrorist organization the Ku Klux Klan
was part of the violent white reaction to Reconstruction.
Founded by
Confederate veterans in Tennessee
in 1866
, Klan nightriders targeted black veterans and freedmen who had
left their employers and those who had succeeded in breaking out
of the plantation system. African Americans who transgressed local
norms of white supremacy were in particular danger as the
testimony from Maria Carter and others at these 1871 Congressional
hearings about the Klan made clear. Klan leaders often were
prominent planters and their family members - while poorer men
made up the rank and file." Congress in an attempt to check the
Klan, introduced a series of measures called the
Third Enforcement Act
on the Ku Klux Klan (1871)
. This act gave the President the power to declare martial law in
any state and send armed forces to crush any conspiracy. Due to
this act, federal troops were sent to the south quite often.
In 1880 a new legitimate group was in charge of dispensing
justice in Texas -- the Texas Rangers. Many of the Texas Rangers
were members of the Klan.

: How a Powerful Outlet for Democratic Discourse Has
Deteriorated into Hate, Racism and Extremism
This report sheds light on the prevalence and the dangers of hate
speech on American radio. Revealing complaints filed by consumers
with the Federal Communications Commission, which NHMC uncovered
through a Freedom of Information Act request, the report documents
years of public allegations of hate speech against KFI AM 640, a

American Hate Radio explores how hate groups and hate crimes have
spiked while hate radio's popularity and reach have grown. The
report notes that radio is the primary way that people consume
media, reaching 93% percent of Americans each week. In the 1990s,
the news-talk format developed, and it is now the predominant
radio format with almost 1,800 dedicated stations nationwide.
However, as the report reveals, the quality of news-talk radio
programs varies a great deal. All the while, the number of hate
groups in the U.S. has more than doubled since 2000. The five
states with the most hate groups are California (68), Texas (59),
Florida (49), New Jersey (47) and Mississippi (40).
Lyndon Baines Johnson Library recently has released tapes and
transcripts of phone conversations about the 1964 abduction
and murder of three civil rights activists.
The result is real-life insight into the tragedy and a glimpse
into American history. The recordings were made in June 1964, a
crucial time for the Civil Rights movement. President Johnson was
just a few votes shy in the Senate of passing landmark legislation
that would ensure the right to vote among African-Americans and
prohibit segregation in public places.

was convicted of killing - black Mississippian James Chaney and

About Morris Dees
- The Saga Of A True American Hero
The Southern Poverty Law Center has monitored hate groups since
1971.
Morris Dees wrote "Little had changed in the South. Whites held
the power and had no intention of voluntarily sharing it. . . . "I
had made up my mind. I would sell the company as soon as possible
and specialize in civil rights law,". "All the things in my life
that had brought me to this point, all the pulls and tugs of my
conscience, found a singular peace. It did not matter what my
neighbors would think, or the judges, the bankers, or even my
relatives."
From this decision made on a cold winter's night in 1967 came the
Southern Poverty Law Center
.
* The largest judgment ever awarded against a hate group was the
37.9 million dollar settlement the Southern Poverty Law Center won
against the
Christian Knights of Ku Klux Klan
for conspiracy to burn a black church.
* They also won a one million dollar judgment against a
Klan
group known as the Invisible Empire.

Confederate States of America What if the South had won the Civil War ?
Civil War &Reconstruction movie that will challenge your
notions of myth, memory and the making of Civil War History.
In Dec of 1860 Southern slave holding states secede from the
American Union. A Confederacy is declared, a southern government
and president are formed, igniting a Civil War. After numerous
bloody battles, the outcome of the war for the South is in
peril--until an alliance is secured with the French and the
British. With these new military allies the Confederacy is able to
rout the North. By April of 1865 the Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant
surrenders to Gen. Robert E. Lee of the Confederate Army. The
South thus wins the Civil War, and the Confederate States of
America is born.
In this faux documentary by Kevin Willmott, produced by Spike Lee,
and cast as a British production, the repercussions of a fictional
reality where the South wins the Civil War are examined. Using
both dark humor/parody and actual historical circumstances,
Willmott creates a bizarre--yet at times disturbingly
familiar--world where the South is victorious, slavery persists
into the 21st Century, and a powerful yet eroding America is bent
on Empire.
With an innovative timeline of events--from the signing of the
13th Amendment making slavery fully lawful to the assassination of
President John F. Kennedy who attempted to end slavery -- Wilmott
creates an alternate reality that is at once humorous yet
frightening. Film footage from our own history are seamlessly
blended into the "mockumentary," giving it an authentic feel even
in its absurdity. Parodies like the Slave Shopping Network and a
television reality show called RUNAWAY (based on our own COPS)
will make you laugh and shake your head at the same time.
Ingeniously false commercials inserted throughout the production
tackle varied real life issues in American society, from the
attack on civil liberties to portrayals of blacks in the media.
The C.S.A. is a look not only at the real Southern Confederacy,
but a reflection on our own America, our history, our current
culture, how we deal with race, foreign policy, rights, freedoms,
etc.
In the end it may make you question, who exactly in our own
reality *actually* won the Civil War?

Hate Sites - Bad Recruiting Tools
Online hate
is as much a part of the Web as e-commerce, porn sites, and
portals. From neo-Nazis and skinheads to the Ku Klux Klan, almost
every
hate group in America has its own website.
According to the
Southern Poverty Law Center
, the membership of hate groups has remained about the same over
the past few years. Despite the rhetoric about the global reach of
the Internet, there has not been any measurable increase in
recruitment.
A hate group may then run the risk of facing a lawsuit for aiding
a person involved in a hate crime. For example, Matt Hale, the
leader of the World Church of the Creator, is currently being sued
for a killing rampage carried out last summer by one of his
followers, Benjamin Smith.
But he agrees that the Internet can still be a powerful tool for
hate groups. Goldman predicts they will use the Web for more
pro-active measures in the future, including harassment, death
threats, and even hacking.
"People often underestimate these groups," he said. "These guys
are more technologically sophisticated than most people. They're
not good old boys with gun racks."

The Shoah Foundation , dedicated to recording the remembrances of Holocaust survivors, is cataloging and distributing thousands of videotaped survivor testaments through digital asset management. The survivor videos are broken into segments with a customized back-end database; each segment is assigned one of 21,000 topic keywords, and then the testimonies are cataloged with lists of keywords, photos of survivors and their families, related documentaries, and textual descriptions. Roughly 5,000 out of more than 51,000 tapes have been cataloged thus far. In October, the National Science Foundation awarded the foundation $7.5 million to support a voice-recognition technology initiative. (Computerworld, 14 January 2002)

In the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the United
Federation of Teachers in New York City has created a 50-page
resource guide to help educators incorporate tolerance and respect
for cultural diversity into their teaching. "We must educate our
students so that they understand that the unspeakable actions of
deranged terrorists cannot be blamed on every citizen living or
having roots in the suspected terrorists' countries of origin,"
said Randi Weingarten, president of the union representing New
York City's 100,000 public school educators. The guide, which
includes sample lesson plans, also features chapters by
organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League, the AFT and
others.
Resources for Providing a Supportive School Environment for Arab Americans An Eric Digest created by the Clearinghouse on Urban Education in New York in 1999 reviews resources available to provide a supportive public school environment for Arab American students. The digest notes that while Arab Americans share similarities with other immigrant groups they also face additional challenges in public schools caused by negative stereotyping and misinformation about their history and culture. The digest offers steps schools can take in climate, elimination of discrimination, staff development, curriculum , textbooks, and counseling.The Jewish Education Center of Cleveland has a Response Curriculum to the Attack.
