An article at vice.com reports The Number of U.S. Hate Groups Keeps Surging, Largely Thanks to Young, White men:
The number of hate groups nationwide reached a record high in 2018, driven partly by the persistent growth of white nationalist groups catering to young, college-aged men.
There are currently 1,020 active hate groups in America — up from 954 in 2017, and 917 the previous year, according to an annual tally by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). The new, young face of hate emerged from the shadows during the 2016 election and organized through a shared language of memes and under the banner of the “alt-right.” Many hailed then-candidate Donald Trump, with his hard-line views on immigration, as a hero. In celebration of his election, the alt-right’s one-time de facto leader Richard Spencer led a room full of young men in suits to give Nazi salutes.
Since then, Spencer and other prominent actors, entangled in costly lawsuits and tired of being heckled by anti-fascist protesters, have faded into relative obscurity.
At the same time, groups like Identity Evropa — whose khaki-clad members were a formidable presence at the violent “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017— have proliferated and expanded their reach by setting up new chapters across the country. Patriot Front also grew significantly in 2018 after splintering from Vanguard America, the group linked to the 19-year-old neo-Nazi who rammed his car into a crowd of protesters during the Charlottesville rally and killed Heather Heyer.

So we're to take the word of a group that profits, via more donations, off saying that the number of hate groups are growing at face value?

I thought they were listed as a hate group.

Hey -- don't disparage them in this day and age when a black gay man can be attacked and noosed. /s

Exactly. All this hysteria about "racism" is really about shielding the Jews from their very deserved criticism. The Jews are very afraid because anti-semitism is going back to record highs and more and more people are waking up to just how much abuse of power and destruction Jews are causing to Western societies.
The Jews love to use minorities as their golems and useful idiots and have been since at least the beginning of American history.
Financial profit, to the SPLC and organizations like them, is incidental to their primary goal - shutting down criticism of the Jews. And it's quite obvious they never gave a fuck about the Blacks, you can see the staff of these organizations and for decades the SPLC in particular has been notorious for having like 1 or 2 Black people in a staff full of Jews. In a sense, the Jews are using the Blacks as human shields, even as the Jewish lobby successfully caused good Goys to rescind civil rights activist Angela Davis' civil right award due to her support of the BDS movement. Israel was even caught sterilizing their African migrants.
The historical problem with Jews is they always get too greedy because they are arrogant and prone to short-term thinking. They are experts in daily dealings with accounting and the stock market, not so good in wondering why people who had their societies subverted by them are revolting against them. Then it's back to MUH HOLOCAUST.
Something about tightening a grasp and stuff falling through the fingers -- and nobody is doing a better job of attacking free speech worldwide than the Jews.

Ethanol still at +2? Will not someone rid us of the troublesome troll? He is damaging the reputation of SoylentNews!
And, I have it on good authority, both that we know where Eth works, which puts him at risk, and that he is being paid by Mossad, which puts them and the Benjamins (Netanyahu) at risk. So mod to save SoylentNews, y'all!

Actually, that's a good point; teach typical-liberal short-term thinking to a brain that (in the usual way of coddled intellectuals) is already way too good at convincing itself of things that ain't so (witness how many secular Jews are leftarded -- a problem not generally shared by Orthodox Jews), and the result is Jews dumb enough to advocate for importing Muslims by the boatload... then wondering why anti-Semitism is on the rise, despite that it's been plainly laid out for them in advance:
The Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslims, O Abdullah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. -- from the hadith Sahih Muslim, 41:6985
But you won't see the SPLC complaining about *that*.
And there is no Alkibiades to come back and save us from ourselves.
