Don Black said he despises Barack Obama. And he said he believes illegal aliens undermine the economic fabric of the United States.
Black, a 55-year-old former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard, isn't the only person who holds such firm beliefs, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which today released its annual hate group report.
The center's report, "The Year in Hate," found the number of hate groups grew by 54 percent since 2000. The study identified 926 hate groups -- defined as groups with beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people -- active in 2008. That's a 4 percent jump, adding 38 more than the year before.
What makes this year's report different is that hate groups have found two more things to be angry about -- the nation's first African-American president and an economy that is hemorrhaging jobs. For the past decade, Latino immigration has fueled the growth of hate groups. Watch what the family of a hate crime victim has to say »

Westboro Baptist Church in action
Full story
CANTON —
The controversial, anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church is planning to picket Canton High School on March 20 as part of a daylong visit to the Boston area.
Members of the Rev. Fred Phelps’ tiny, ultra-fundamentalist group sent out a fax Monday saying that it will hold an “education picket” at the school.
Like many other schools in the state, Canton High has a Gay-Straight Alliance student group.
A Canton police sergeant said last night the department didn’t know about it.

Two charged with KKK hate crime
Full story
Two Medford men face up to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty Tuesday to a federal charge of conspiring to interfere with civil rights after they burned the image of a cross and the letters
"KKK" in the yard of a mixed race couple last spring.
Gary Moss, 38, and Devan Klausegger, 29, lodged their pleas in a Portland federal court. They are scheduled for sentencing on May 5.
According to their plea agreement, Moss admitted he poured the flammable liquid on the front lawn of the residence of Sol and Jonathan Whyte in the shape of a cross and the letters "KKK."
Klausegger then handed Moss a small explosive device that Moss used to ignite the liquid. They admitted these actions were done with the intent to interfere with the victims' rights because Jonathan Whyte is black.
Moss and Klausegger face a maximum punishment of 10 years in prison, up to three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000.
Sol Whyte said a federal lawyer has told her the pair will agree to spend four and a half years behind bars as part of the plea deal.
"I wish it was more, but I am comfortable with that amount," she said.
The Whytes have worked to put the tumultuous events of the past year behind them, but their two daughters still long for their previous home.
"We had a huge backyard that they really liked," Whyte said.
The cost of the unexpected move forced Whyte to return to full-time work. Before the hate crime was committed in her front yard, she stayed home to care for her daughters.

Police arrest German suspect over neo-Nazi beating
Full story
Erfurt, Germany - German police have arrested the principal suspect after a neo-Nazi attack on leftists in a highway rest area, police in the city of Erfurt said Tuesday, but they are still hunting for a Swedish man thought to have taken part in the beating. Germans were shocked by the
February 14 roadside attack, just hours after 10,000 leftists and pacifists had mounted a counter-demonstration in Dresden against a procession by 6,000 far rightists.
Participants on both sides gathered from all over Germany and beyond in Germany.
A 42-year-old man suffered serious head injuries when a busload of neo-Nazis stopped next to two coaches of leftists in a motorway services area and attacked them. Four others were hurt.
Erfurt police said the 32-year-old who had been detained came from the west of Germany and had a record of rightist violence. The man from Sweden and a third man were still being sought.

Town battles Neo-Nazi
Full story
Crowds are protesting against Neo-Nazis who take over the town on a regular basis, and the memorial to the dead of the first and the second world wars has become a focal point.
It all started ten years ago when a far-right organisation that supported Nazi ideology gathered at the memorial for Remembrance Day.
To prevent a repeat, the mayor of the town designated the memorial as private property. However, this only lit the fuse of the conflict and the annual gatherings have now become monthly protests.

KKK loser dies
http://www.charlotteobserver.com/local/story/534059.html
Virgil Griffin was defiant to the end.
In interviews over the years, there were few apologies for cross burnings, his views on race – or his part in a 1979 “Death to the Klan” rally in Greensboro where five people were fatally shot.
Four years ago, he told a group studying the shootings that he never would have gone to that rally had he not been goaded.
“They told us to ‘come out from under our rocks.' I don't hide under no rock for nobody,” said Griffin, imperial wizard of the Mount Holly-based Cleveland Knights of the KKK.
Wednesday, Virgil Lee Griffin Sr. of Mount Holly died at Gaston County Memorial, surrounded by family. He was 64.
The Klan brought him notoriety. The organization he been a part of since his 20s had seen its numbers dwindle, but Griffin and other Klan officials were in the midst of rebuilding, exploiting fears over illegal immigration to draw members, according to agencies that track hate groups.
“People are tired of this mess,” Griffin told the Observer in 2007. “The illegal immigrants are taking this country over.”
The message was the same in the 1960s and '70s; the target different. In 1965, Griffin and another man were convicted of posing as detectives investigating a racial incident at a school. In 1980, Griffin was charged in a cross burning in Lincoln County.
But it was the November 1979 Greensboro rally held by members of the Communist Workers Party where Griffin won his biggest headlines.
The shootings came months after growing tension.

KKK loser goes to jail!

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The alleged leader of a Ku Klux Klan group was indicted on a second-degree murder charge Wednesday in the shooting death of an Oklahoma woman who police said was killed during an initiation in south Louisiana.
A grand jury indicted Raymond Foster, 44, and three other suspected group members in the death of Cynthia Lynch, 43, of Tulsa, Okla. She was recruited to join the group over the Internet and was shot to death when a disagreement arose during an initiation in November, authorities have said.
Foster's 20-year-old son Shane and another suspect were indicted on an obstruction of justice charge by the grand jury meeting about 30 miles north of New Orleans in St. Tammany Parish. A fourth suspect was charged as an accessory after the fact.
Four others arrested in the case were not indicted.
I
nvestigators said they found weapons, Confederate flags and six Klan robes at the campsite where Lynch was killed.
All the suspects are from Washington Parish, where the Klan flourished in the 1960s. Now, however, the KKK is considered weak and loosely organized at the local and national levels.
Lynch's former attorney had described her as lonely and troubled and said she may have sought a sense of belonging with the group — referred to at times as the Sons of Dixie or the Dixie Brotherhood. Investigators said in November that statements from suspects suggested Lynch didn't get along with Raymond Foster and was shot after she asked to be taken away from the initiation site, a remote camp in northern St. Tammany Parish, near the Washington Parish line.
In November, Sheriff Jack Strain said an investigation began soon after the shooting when two members of the group went to a convenience store and asked a clerk how to remove blood from clothing. She notified the sheriff's office.
Foster would face mandatory life in prison if convicted on the second-degree murder charge. His attorney did not return a call for comment Wednesday.

Justin Boyer threatens to sue Nazis
http://onepeoplesproject.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1565&Itemid=2
There is a lot of people wondering what next for Justin Boyer. Well, first I want to start at the beginning. Later on I am going to correct all the disloyal and dysfunctional people that have put my name through the dirt. There will be a decree of punishment, issued by a court or judge and all the slander, defamation, calumny, vilification of my name will stop soon. That means all that Matthew E. Ramsey slander will stop on the website called zogsnightmare and any other sites with a 60 IQ. But anyway, back to the main topic. I want to make this clear to everyone. I am no longer a National Socialist and will never ever take part in a genocidal movement again. I have seen so much lack of honor and the unjust of people. I cant believe I was so blinded by the thrill of hate.
It was very over powering at first, and very deceptive. It felt as if we were gods and no one could do anything to us. That’s too much power for all those people. I have seen a lot of things in my life and most of it was through my National Socialist view point. I want to say it was a waste of time believing we could take over the world and millions would follow us into battle. Now that I sit back and think about it I laugh because it was stupid. Like Jim Ram stupid. There is 6 billion people on this earth and we have had 30 to 100 people show for a rally once or twice a year. Ok, well its pretty pointless to add up the figures.
I thought we were making a difference for “our white people” and the only thing we were making is the world hate us, our family hate us, and everybody around us feel hate. It was nothing but the design of a deceptive false flag of the “white family” value system put on us by these groups. I know that my heart was untrue and filled with the hate and emotions of the suffering of others.

German Neo-Nazi attacks on the rise
http://www.thelocal.de/national/20090217-17489.html
Trade unionist Holger Kindler has been to at least 20 rallies to protest neo-Nazi gatherings in various German cities and towns. But he says he's never seen anything like what happened last Saturday.Kindler was among the 80 unionists and leftists who were having a break at a motorway rest stop in the eastern German state of Thuringia on Saturday when a busload of 41 far-right extremists pulled in. He and his colleagues had just joined some 10,000 people demonstrating a major neo-Nazi march in Dresden.'
'One of my colleagues who was in the car park called me on my cell phone and told me they had arrived and were aggressive,'' he said. ''I just went into shock. It was a Nazi crew that was very political, not just sub-cultural. They weren't satisfied with walking through Dresden.''Five anti-fascist demonstrators were left injured, including one with serious skull fractures. The neo-Nazis weren't bumbling skinheads, Kindler said. They were autonome Nationalisten or free nationalists – a radical, political segment of the far-right scene in Germany who are growing in number and, experts fear, poised to create a new wave of neo-Nazi violence.
The attack at the rest stop follows recent figures showing a 30 percent rise last year in far-right crime and the shocking knife assault on Alois Mannichl, police chief in the southern town of Passau. Though investigators have yet to find Mannichl’s assailant, they are looking for a man described as a tall skinhead.These disparate events, according to observers, are explained by upheavals in the far-right scene caused by the breakdown of old alliances and the emergence of new, aggressive splinter groups.
''It's a trend,'' said Matthias Adrian, a former skinhead who now helps extremists quit the scene. ''We've noticed more threats against those getting out and attacks on democratic activists by right-wing extremists. The atmosphere has changed and it is now more aggressive. This is the tip of the iceberg.''

KKK spray paint cars
http://www.courierpress.com/news/2009/feb/16/police-kkk-spray-painted-vehicles-north-side/
Authorities say 'KKK' was discovered spray-painted on at least two vehicles on Evansville's North Side Sunday.
The two incidents happened overnight Saturday into Sunday while the vehicles were parked at residences less than a quarter mile apart near Diamond and First Avenues.
In the first case, police awakened victim Michael T. Bacon after an officer spotted his vandalized 2008 Subaru Outback outside his residence in the 1000 block of Fulton Parkway. According to an Evansville Police Department report, the vandals had spray-painted much of the vehicle and written 'KKK' on the right front passenger door.
Hours later, 54-year-old Janice Jackson reported finding her 2000 Cadillac Deville vandalized in front of her home in the 2700 block of North Second Avenue.
According to a separate police report, 'KKK' was spray painted on the passenger side.
"The victim stated this was most likely kids in the neighborhood and was not a hate crime against her," police wrote in the report.
Authorities say they have no suspects in the case.

KKK loser was a Cop

FRUITLAND PARK, Fla. - A local sheriff's office said Ku Klux Klan recruitment fliers and photos ended up in his mailbox.
The sheriff said one of the men seen in it was a police officer.
The photo sparked an internal investigation by the Fruitland Park Police Department, and now one of its officers has resigned in the wake of the allegations.
The first complaint surfaced three weeks ago, when the Sumter County Sheriff's Office said someone was putting up KKK recruitment fliers around town.
Investigators said a post office box connected to the fliers came back to Fruitland Park police Officer James Elkins.
The chief then launched an internal investigation.
Two days ago, the Lake County sheriff received photos in the mail alleging that Elkins has been involved with the KKK.
Included in the envelope were photographs of a man alleged to be Elkins in a green KKK uniform.
Fruitland Park police Chief Mark Isom said that man is Elkins. There's even one picture showing the man wearing a police uniform under his white KKK robe.
Isom said it is one of the department's old blue uniforms. The chief said he guarantees none of the other men in the photos are his officers.
Elkins resigned Jan. 20. He was suspended three days earlier for conduct unbecoming of an officer.
Elkins hasn't worked on the force in 14 months. He has been on workman's comp because of an injury he sustained when he crashed his cruiser chasing a drug suspect.
Of the more than 1,000 citations Elkins wrote in 2005, more than 200 went to blacks or
Hispanics. There was a similar proportion in 2006.
The chief said he does not believe there was any racial profiling.
Attorney Cheney Mason said there's no clear-cut appeals process, but someone like the governor could issue a blanket pardon.
"It is maybe just a traffic ticket, but that traffic ticket may have cost some people their jobs," Mason said. "It may have cost some people a great deal of money because their insurance being dropped, or going up. It's some pretty serious consequences."

Vandal has Nazi ties: police find dope on him

A man suspected of spray painting swastikas and racist slogans on a Messianic Jewish house of worship was doing more than making idle threats, Mobile police said Tuesday.
Thomas Hayward Lewis, 22, who was first arrested Thursday, has affiliations with neo-Nazi groups, police said, and a search of his house turned up a cache of "explosive materials," which investigators believe he was ready to use.
Police charged Lewis with third-degree criminal mischief, criminal possession of explosives and possession of a controlled substance.
He lives with his parents on South Jefferson Street near downtown, police said.
Police Chief Phillip Garrett said investigators believe that Lewis also painted hate graffiti at Cooper Riverside Park, and they are looking for possible associates of Lewis.
There's no indication that his parents had any idea what their son was up to, Garrett said.
On the morning of Jan. 5, members of the Congregation Tree of Life found their west Mobile building defaced with spray-painted swastikas and racist slogans, such as "Hitler was right" and "Juden raus," which is German for "Jews get out."
The names Waffen SS and Combat 18, a neo-Nazi group, were also painted on the building, according to police photos.
The members were upset, said Barbara Morgan, the congregation's administrator, but many brushed it off as a cruel prank because of the sloppiness of the work and some mistakes in the writing.
Tree of Life members consider themselves to be Jewish, but believe Jesus Christ is the Messiah.
Laborers with the Mobile Public Works Department found racist graffiti in Cooper Riverside Park the same day as the Tree of Life vandalism, Garrett said, and investigators comparing photos from the two sites felt they were made by same person.
The park graffiti targeted other minorities, said the chief, who declined to say exactly what was written, because of its offensive nature.
Detectives, using leads from an informant, linked Lewis to the vandalism and searched his home, where they found what police believe to be explosive materials, Garrett said.
Pending analysis of the materials, Garrett declined to identify them.
A man suspected of spray painting swastikas and racist slogans on a Messianic Jewish house of worship was doing more than making idle threats, Mobile police said Tuesday.
Thomas Hayward Lewis, 22, who was first arrested Thursday, has affiliations with neo-Nazi groups, police said, and a search of his house turned up a cache of "explosive materials," which investigators believe he was ready to use.
Police charged Lewis with third-degree criminal mischief, criminal possession of explosives and possession of a controlled substance.
He lives with his parents on South Jefferson Street near downtown, police said.
Police Chief Phillip Garrett said investigators believe that Lewis also painted hate graffiti at Cooper Riverside Park, and they are looking for possible associates of Lewis.
There's no indication that his parents had any idea what their son was up to, Garrett said.
On the morning of Jan. 5, members of the Congregation Tree of Life found their west Mobile building defaced with spray-painted swastikas and racist slogans, such as "Hitler was right" and "Juden raus," which is German for "Jews get out."
The names Waffen SS and Combat 18, a neo-Nazi group, were also painted on the building, according to police photos.
The members were upset, said Barbara Morgan, the congregation's administrator, but many brushed it off as a cruel prank because of the sloppiness of the work and some mistakes in the writing.
Tree of Life members consider themselves to be Jewish, but believe Jesus Christ is the Messiah.
Laborers with the Mobile Public Works Department found racist graffiti in Cooper Riverside Park the same day as the Tree of Life vandalism, Garrett said, and investigators comparing photos from the two sites felt they were made by same person.
The park graffiti targeted other minorities, said the chief, who declined to say exactly what was written, because of its offensive nature.
Detectives, using leads from an informant, linked Lewis to the vandalism and searched his home, where they found what police believe to be explosive materials, Garrett said.

KKK harasses people in Pampa
Full article
PAMPA - Fliers found in Pampa yards Friday pointed to a Web site recruiting members for a white-supremacist group.
"If you are white, with non-Jewish ancestry and are 100 percent American please continue," reads a Web site touted on fliers some Pampa residents found in their yards Friday morning.
The Amarillo chapter of the United White Knights distributed the literature to recruit members.
"We're what you'd call a traditional Klan organization," said Clint Evans, a leader of the national group. "That means we don't accept skinheads and Nazis. We're trying to get back to the way it was in 1915, 1920 - a charitable fraternal order."
The Klansmen people see on television are not what the United White Knights see themselves as.
"They're the ones that live on compounds and have Nazi members," Evans said. "They really distort what we really are. We look at them as not being part of the Klan."
The Web site also tries to polish the group's image.
"We do not spread hate towards any race. It is not hate to love your white race," it says. "Join us in fighting for your white rights."
Ken Fields received two of the fliers at his Pampa home.
"I was rather surprised when I went out to get my paper," he said. "It was a cylinder (of paper) wrapped in a plastic bag with several stones in it to give it weight. My personal impression is, I could never be interested in an organization where you hide your face. That's for cowards."

Ron Edwards of the IKA chickens out : steps down as Imperial "Loser" Wizard
http://kkkk.net/page1.htm
Update: 11-22-08Greetings IKA Members and Supporters,This trial that I have been fighting for a long period of time has truly taken its toll on myself, and on Tuesday I will begin working on preparations for the upcoming appeal which I must fight. However, this time a lawyer will be representing me, and things are bound to be much different. This has been an unjust trial from the start against the IKA and myself, with the judge siding against us and favoring the SPLC at every opportunity. When this lawsuit first began, I spoke with many, many lawyers trying to get them to take this case.
They asked for $70,000 to $100,000, and we just didn't have it. There is a very good lawyer that will now take my case because he believes they violated my constitutional rights. He said that he would take the case for $10,000... That is GREAT! While this lawyer does not share our beliefs, he believes this is an abuse of the judicial system and seems determined to put up a serious fight in court. So, anyone who can send anything in, please do! In memo area, please write "Lawyer".
Thank you so much!Now, I am stepping down from Imperial Wizard at this time to focus my efforts on the upcoming trials. I need time off because I have not had any in many years. Brother Jim Walters will be taking over the IKA as Acting Imperial Wizard for one year until an election takes place in which all IKA Officers across the nation will be voting. He is a Patch Holder and believes in the IKA as much as I do.
Now, I will be around to help him with any and all of his questions. I have talked with members in Texas, Kentucky, Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia and many other states. They understand that I need to do this. I have two younger children that I also take care of for about three weeks out of each month. Now, I am absolutely NOT quitting the IKA in any way!!! I am a Patch Holder and life member and will be here to help with whatever I can.
After this case, I may still need additional time; we will see what happens from that point. I ask all to stay loyal to brother Jim and the IKA. It's not one man who has built this great organization, but all who have stayed true and worked for its future and our childrens' future. Starting Tuesday, I will be meeting with my attorney in Louisville, KY and the appeal process will begin. From that day, Jim will be the Acting Imperial Wizard, until the election.
There will be a notice to all who are to vote for an Imperial Wizard.I want all of you to stay strong and never give up! It is our right to hold the values and beliefs which we cherish - the SPLC be damned! Again, anyone who can help with donations for the appeal, please do. This is very important, not just for myself, but all Pro-European American groups and our people as a whole. I will be assisting Jim with e-mails and providing other instructions during this transition of responsibilities. If you have any questions, please give me a call. I will always be here for you!

Justin Boyer quits WP movement: Former NSM and ANSWP member finally has common sense
Looks like Bill White has no friends now. I am happy to see Justin follow the footsteps of Michael Burks and leave the movement. More and more people are starting to wake up and see that racism never solves anything. I would like to see Justin run a blog against racism much like Burks does at Jewish and Christian Holy Alliance.

Walter Dice going to jail!
http://onepeoplesproject.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1546&Itemid=2
Sometimes you get luck in life. Well, this loser did not. I hope he loves jail as much as he did when it came to hating non-whites.
