Is Your Child a Target?
* Hate groups are composed of bigots and racists who hate
everyone unlike themselves - particularly minorities such as
Blacks, Muslims, Jews, Catholics and Homosexuals - not because
of anything they've done, but merely because of who they are.
* By blaming all of the past and present problems of society
on these identifiable minority groups, hatemongers feed their
own self image of superiority.
* Hate groups operate through a network of inter-related,
pseudo-religious and right-wing political organizations.
* In the 1990's, Canada has become fertile ground for groups
like the Heritage Front, Ku Klux Klan and racist
Skinhead
gangs. There are approximately 40 known hate groups in Canada
today, networking nationally and internationally to promote
their White Supremacist ideology.
* They are known to join both political and religious
organizations, especially in Caucasian Christian communities,
but their ideologies are far from Christian.
* Current hate group activities include telephone "hatelines"
across the country run by the
Heritage Front, Ku Klux Klan,
Liberty Net and others; racist rock concerts sponsored by
groups like the
Church of the Creator [transcription note:
now defunct. knm]; paramilitary training camps for young
recruits; assaults against anti-racist activists; and an
increase in gay-bashing and racially motivated crime.
