hate groups
Supremacists and extremists
Hate groups are organizations united by hostility toward people based on race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or other characteristics.
The term typically implies ideology beyond mere prejudice—active promotion of discrimination, harassment, or violence against targeted populations.
The Southern Poverty Law Center tracks hate groups across the country.
Membership in hate groups often overlaps with extremist movements.
