The Purpose Of Anti Hate Groups

By Lena Stephenson


The world is full of people who show intolerance and bigotry for those different to them. This is often rooted in fear and ignorance and they will look out for others who feel the same way. The problem is that what may begin as some intolerance often grows as more people join and it can end up in violence. There are people who have lost their lives in this way. Anti hate groups are formed to address this problem.

Some of them are large and others are small. Some support specific minorities such as Asians. Others deal more widely with racist issues. A recent area causing concern is intolerance and bigotry on the internet and this is being monitored. There are those that try to protect human rights in whichever way they can do this.

These organizations have realized the importance of standing up against groups such as the neo-Nazis, Klansmen, black separatists and white nationalists. There are those who feel that giving them attention rewards them for their asocial behavior and helps them attract disaffected youth to their ranks. However, experts in the field believe that exposing them instead of ignoring them is the best strategy to follow.

Such organizations are very active and although they may be small they are visible because they use every opportunity to spread their propaganda. Alarmingly, it is young people they recruit who are the perpetrators of many of these violent crimes. Preventing and deterring such juvenile violence is often uppermost on the agenda.

Those who are dedicated to standing up against crimes based on gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity or national origin fully realize how important it is to educate the youth. Diversity, racism and prejudice have to be brought out into the open and discussed. This must be done by the parents and by the educators in the schools. In helping the young people to recognize and talk about discrimination, they can hopefully become adults who will help to put an end to it.

This material is designed to help parents and educators deal with these issues in the best possible way. Videos, books, documentary films and lesson-plans are all helpful. They provide ways to explore diversity and make children understand why they may have certain biases. They help them to move beyond this and thus the climate in schools begins to change, offering safety and acceptance to all.

Various means are used by different organizations to fight against injustice, hatred and bigotry. Apart from efforts to address the education of young people, legal actions are also taken on behalf of victims such as prison inmates who have been abused or exploited workers. Some even offer material to help in educating law enforcement officials on how to prevent and intervene in hate-related incidents s they are usually the first line of response.

When a country is going through emotional turmoil, groups propagating racism, bigotry and intolerance usually grow as people are looking for any possible scapegoat to blame for their financial woes. Politicians and the media tend to exploit the situation too. Groups standing up against the perpetrators of violent crimes need to be supported as they are fulfilling an important role and dealing with issues that simply cannot be ignored..
