Extremist Groups And Movements In America

• American Border Patrol/American Patrol -The first listed group was essentially an Arizona extension of American Patrol, which is also known as Voice of Citizens Together. This one of the most virulent anti-immigrant groups around - Southern poverty Law Center Designated Hate Group

• Anarchists - ​With sympathizers on both the right and the left, anarchists see government as illegitimate and seek to sow chaos. Today, many young anarchists are members of the Anti-Racist Action, a national network of antifa associations, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. - A Movement - Not a Hate Group

• Antifa - An Anti-facist, far-left activist movement opposed to neo-Nazis and other extremist groups.​​​ Followers show up at right-wing rallies dressed in black and wearing masks and often engage in violent confrontations.. According to the Anti-Defamation League, which monitors extremists, Antifa aims to “intimidate and dissuade racists,” but its aggressive tactics including physical confrontations can create “a vicious, self-defeating cycle of attacks, counter-attacks and blame, ”The Southern Poverty Law Center says it does not label antifa as a hate group in part because antifa members "do not promote hatred based on race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender identity."  - A Movement - Not a Hate Group

• The Aryan Brotherhood, also known as The Brand, Alice Baker, AB or One-Two  - The nation’s oldest major white supremacist prison gang and a national crime syndicate. Founded in 1964 by Irish bikers as a form of protection for white inmates in newly desegregated prisons, the AB is today the largest and deadliest prison gang in the United States, with an estimated 20,000 members inside prisons and on the streets.

• Black Lives Matter -  A movement born from a social media expression against police brutality and has grown to become a clarion call for racial justice around the world. A Movement - Not a Hate Group

• Boogaloo/Boogaloo Bois - An anti-government militia movement, an online community of pro-gun activists who advocate for a second boogaloo, their term of choice for civil war. They are primarily white libertarians who claim they are fighting tyranny. Boogaloo followers anticipate the government will attempt to confiscate people’s guns. Their ideology itself is not white supremacist, but some white supremacist groups have embraced it, the ADL found. “Whereas the militia movement (and) radical gun rights activists typically promote the boogaloo as a war against the government or liberals, white supremacists conceive of the boogaloo as a race war or a white revolution,” the ADL wrote.- A Movement - Not a Hate Group

• Knights of the Ku Klux Klan - Founded by David Duke in 1975, the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan has attempted to put a "kinder, gentler" face on the Klan, courting media attention and attempting to portray itself as a modern "white civil rights" organization. But beneath that veneer lurks the same bigoted rhetoric. - Southern Poverty Law Center Designated Hate Group

• Nation of Islam - Since its founding in 1930, the Nation of Islam (NOI) has grown into one of the wealthiest and best-known organizations in black America. Its theology of innate black superiority over whites and the deeply racist, antisemitic and anti-LGBT rhetoric of its leaders have earned the NOI a prominent position in the ranks of organized hate. - Southern poverty Law Center Designated Hate Group

• National Socialist Movement - An organization that specializes in theatrical and provocative protests, the National Socialist Movement (NSM) is one of the largest and most prominent neo-Nazi groups in the United States. - Southern Poverty Law Center Designated Hate Group

• New Black Panther Party - A virulently racist and antisemitic organization whose leaders have encouraged violence against whites, Jews and law enforcement officer - Southern Poverty Law Center Designated Hate Group

• Proud Boys - An"alt-lite" group established in the midst of the 2016 presidential election by VICE Media co-founder Gavin McInnes, the Proud Boys are self-described “western chauvinists” who adamantly deny any connection to the racist “alt-right,” insisting they are simply a fraternal group spreading an “anti-political correctness” and “anti-white guilt” agenda. They are known for their misogynistic, Islamophobic, transphobic, and anti-immigration ideology and rhetoric. Some members espouse white supremacist and anti-Semitic ideologies and/or engage with white supremacist groups, Members have been known to engage in violent tactics; several members have been convicted of violent crimes. - Southern Poverty Law Center Designated Hate Group

• Stormfront - Created by former Alabama Klan boss and long-time white supremacist Don Black in 1995, Stormfront was the first major hate site on the Internet. Claiming more than 300,000 registered members as of May 2015 (though far fewer remain active), the site has been a very popular online forum for white nationalists and other racial extremists. - Southern Poverty Law Center Designated Hate Group

• White Lives Matter - A racist response to the civil rights movement Black Lives Matter, is a neo-Nazi group that is growing into a movement as more and more white supremacist groups take up its slogans and tactics. - Southern Poverty Law Center Designated Hate Group
