If all people could respect each other and learn to be tolerant, hatred would be expelled from our world. But unfortunately, this is not the case yet. Today, too many people are grouping together to spread their ideas of hatred. It is frightening to see the increasing number of minority groups in the United States being targeted by other Americans. Jews and African Americans, Asians, homosexuals, and Hispanics, are all daily attacked, in some way, by hate groups, says a recent article in The New York Times .
People affiliated with different hate groups target too many minorities.
Many hate groups exist in the United States. Some of the most well known groups include the Ku Klux Klan, the Aryan Nation, the Christian Identity, and independent groups of Neo-Nazis. Intense prejudices are sometimes the cause of hatred. Strong feelings of hatred often stimulate violent ideas and actions. Many accounts of hate-related violence have been reported by Klanwatch , a magazine sponsored by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
