Hate Crimes Grow as America Reaches Racial Tipping Point

The number of hate groups has exploded in recent years, coinciding with Barack Obama’s ascendancy to the Presidency. 

“White supremacist groups have been having a meltdown since the census bureau predicted that non-Hispanic whites would lose the majority by 2050,” said Mark Potok, spokesman for the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate groups. “The demographic change in this country is the single most important driver in the growth of hate groups and extremist groups over the last few years.”

“This very real and very significant change is represented in the person of Barack Obama. We’ve of course seen the most remarkable growth in the radical right since 2008, precisely coinciding with Obama’s first three years as president,” he said.

 According to the SPLC, the number of radical “anti-government” militia groups increased from 150 to 1,274 during the years of the Obama presidency.
SPLC says this will only be made worse by new Census data which confirms that more minority babies are being born in this country than white babies.

    fear is an ugly thing. I don’t think that the majority of white people really believe that they will stay the majority in this country. Honestly, what difference does it make?

    Ignorance like another other behavior are all learned, absorbed behaviors. If we had Black Panther parties still there would be a lot more missing blacks and racist would be even bolder than that selfish act is now. When we ever decide to get together instead of keeps our fist in a tight n form state we will prosper. -Peace
