White Racial Extremist Movements The Hardest Hate: An Introduction to White Racial Extremism

Thank You! I would like to thank Dr. Daniel Martin, Chair Janelle Wilson, and the Sociology and Anthropology Department for bringing me here to the University of Minnesota – Duluth to speak with you today… I have been here before speaking to the First Reading XV Sessions - "The Popular Culture of White Supremacy” on April 28, 1995.

I would like to thank Dr. Daniel Martin, Chair Janelle Wilson, and the Sociology and Anthropology Department for bringing me here to the University of Minnesota – Duluth to speak with you today…

I have been here before speaking to the First Reading XV Sessions - "The Popular Culture of White Supremacy” on April 28, 1995.

Thinking about White Racial Extremism The project has focused on understanding the reasons that lead some people to join a social movement that many of us do not understand… The research has taken multiple tracks: (1) Interviewing members and leaders of these groups, (2) individuals who are connected to these groups, (3) content analysis of written material by and about these groups, (4) and collection and analysis of data on hate crime and hate crime laws.

The research has taken multiple tracks:

(1) Interviewing members and leaders of these groups,

(2) individuals who are connected to these groups,

(3) content analysis of written material by and about these groups,

(4) and collection and analysis of data on hate crime and hate crime laws.

How many white racial extremists are in the U.S.? Hard to know Why… frequent changes and fluctuations in membership Did not track these groups until recently Most of data comes from watchdog groups (Anti-racist groups)

Content Analysis I have also conducted content analysis on hundreds of newspaper and print articles, television and radio programs, and letters to the editors written by white racial extremists. This analysis has helped contextualize white racial extremists in the local and national consciousness. I have also reviewed the scholarly literature in deviant behavior, criminology, popular culture, social movements, and white racial extremism. In addition, I have also examined hundreds of web sites.

RAV v. St. Paul Seventeen-year-old Robert Anthony Viktora, who was white, burned a cross on a black family’s front lawn. He was charged with a variety of offenses, but in 1992 (in R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul ) the Supreme Court found one of his convictions to be a violation of the first amendment.

Mitchell v. Wisconsin Nineteen-year-old Todd Mitchell, who was black, urged his friends to “go get” a fourteen-year-old white boy who happened to be walking by. The friends beat the boy badly enough to put him in a coma. Mitchell also faced a variety of charges, but this time, only a year after Viktora’s case, the Supreme Court upheld those convictions ( Wisconsin v. Mitchell , 1993).

What’s the Difference? What distinguished Viktora’s case from Mitchell’s? The former involved hate speech , whereas the latter involved hate crime . These terms are often used interchangeably by lay people and the media, and the distinction may seem unimportant. In reality, however, hate crime and hate speech are very different from legal, policy, and phenomenological standpoints.

Increasing Levels of Hate Crimes? In recent decades, our society has witnessed a significant increase in the occurrence of hate crimes targeting particular groups. One of the main concerns related to this unforeseen growth of hate crimes is that the brutality and nature of these crimes has intensified immensely.

Hate crimes are frequently Attacks Over the past few years, the number of attacks against people because of their race, religion, sexual orientation, or ethnic origin has increased at an alarming rate. The increase in anti-Semitic violence in the 1990s is instructive of this trend.

Characteristics of Hate Crimes 1. Severity of attack --most hate crimes are violent assaults. Nature of attack --hatred is illustrated when force is exercised beyond what may be necessary to subdue victims, make them comply, disarm them, or take goods from them. 3/4 of all hate crime attacks involve some physical injury.

Characteristics of Hate Crimes II Randomness --hate crimes appear to be irrational crimes perpetuated at random on total strangers (85% of HC are committed by strangers) victims rarely provoke their attackers directly. Perpetuated by multiple offenders --unlike most violent crimes, hate crimes are usually committed by groups of people.

A New Idea Although bigotry is probably as old as humanity, the term "hate crime" is a new one, as is the idea of special treatment of these offenses. The first hate crime law was passed around 1980, and two decades later, 43 states, the District of Columbia, and the federal government had all enacted some form of hate crime legislation (Anti-Defamation League [ADL], 2001). The phrase has entered the popular vernacular, and it is used frequently by the media.
