THANK YOU. The Southern Poverty Law Center keeps a watch on the hate groups nationwide. There are 932 active hate groups in the U.S., and who knows how many active chapters they have within each group. 
Like pedophiles, they lure vulnerable children - usually teenage outcasts - to join them. They brainwash their victims to believe all their problems are due to people of color. Once they've worked them up into a frenzy, they offer them friendship and a chance to be a "warrior." WAY too many young punks have "practiced" on me and my family. 
Why do we have to wait until a crime has been committed before people show outrage? If these young punks who have attacked me in the past decide to take it a step further, how many people will laugh at our misfortune? Am I just an isolated incident? Should my extended family sit back and do nothing? 
IMO, the "reverse racism" is bad, but it doesn't hold a candle to what people of color have had to endure for centuries in this country. There is no history of generational systemic abuse, discrimination and oppression against white people as a whole in the United States. It doesn't carry the same triggers and memory of trauma,
I'm aware it's not only white people who hate black people. My son had a Jordanian friend when he was young. This kid practically lived at our house, and he REALLY liked my husband. One day he said to me "I HATE Mexicans!" I asked him which one. He responded "ALL of them!" I looked at him with surprise and said "You know EVERY Mexican in this country and in Mexico?" I then told him my husband is Mexican - he didn't know what to say. 
Unfortunately, after 911 people blamed this kid - even their teachers. They were in high school by this time. Mohammad was waiting at the stop light to turn into the school parking lot. A gang of flag-wavers came over to him, pulled him out of his car and beat him senseless. He recovered from his injuries, but committed suicide a few months later on Christmas Day. He was born and raised here and had NOTHING to do with 911. No one hear mourned for him. He was such a good kid.
