Hate Groups Quotes

“Diversity is an aspect of human existence that cannot be eradicated by terrorism or war or self-consuming hatred. It can only be conquered by recognizing and claiming the wealth of values it represents for all.”
― Aberjhani, Splendid Literarium: A Treasury of Stories, Aphorisms, Poems, and Essays

“While not as common as they used to be, entire groups of people with what seems like an infinite amount of time on their hands to be angry about something that doesn't even affect them in the slightest, still exist.”
― Lindsey Ouimet, What's a Soulmate?

“The detective assigned to my case told me that restraining orders turn to work out one of two ways—either the paper is good enough to scare off your abuser, or they double down and never stop unless they are thrown in jail. Unsurprisingly, Mine turned out to be the latter type, using the restraining order itself as an excuse to market his crusade against me to entirely new hate groups online.”

“While Jim kept pitching God, Race and Nation, Velma showed me snapshots of her grandchildren. She talked about her crafts shop, the macramé she'd made for Christmas, and an upcoming cross-burning she hoped to attend. Before going, Velma had to pass an exam that would qualify her for full citizenship in the Realm. "It's like a driver's test where they try and foul you up," she said. "I need to know the whole book of knowledge. Like if someone asks, 'Why do we hate Jews?' I didn't know before, but I found out. It was Jews that put Christ on the cross."

If she passed the exam--and avoided Klan infractions, such as committing a felony or sleeping with a black man--Velma would don a satin hood and robe for the cross-burning, which marked her full "naturalization" into the Klan.”

“This apocalyptic spin on a small-town tragedy appeared to confuse and alarm many Todd Countians, including Michael's aunt Brenda. When I visited her a few days after the rally, she opened a trunk stuffed with literature that had begun turning up in her mail. "Some of this stuff is a little wild," she said, handing me no-Nazi newspapers, white supremacist screeds, and paranoid militia-style tracts. "South-Hating Liberals Are to Blame for This!" read the headline of one story on Michael's death. Another, in a newspaper called Confederate Underground, described Michael's assailants as "menacing black gangsters" and alleged that the cross-burnings following his death were a ploy by civil rights agitators to attract sympathy. A publication called "WAR: White Aryan Resistance" warned of a coming racial Armageddon.

Brenda closed the trunk and slipped a video of the Flag Day rally into her VCR. Midway through the tape, as the fiery speeches played again, Brenda began weeping. "I feel like my grandchildren will see another civil war," she said. "Between black and white, not North and South. People just can't seem to get along.”
