The events in Charlottesville are not isolated. Nor is the hate exposed.

There are 917 active hate groups currently operating in the United States. With at least 95% being led by racist or anti-immigrant caucasians.

What can we do as a diverse populace to address this very serious problem?

Some people can be a little subjective:

I advocate the live and let live lifestyle, while encouraging people to find a better way than blaming others for their misfortunes. If you work hard at achieving success in your own life, you will have no reason to hate.

Unfortunately, it's easier to blame others than it is to work towards prosperity and success. In a way, I feel sorry for those types, because they are setting themselves up for a lifetime of misery and frustration.

Certainly I denounce hate groups of any kind or flavor, but that will only do so much. Helping Americans work towards success via education, job training, entrepreneurship and so forth goes much further. That has to include everyone, because as you've mentioned, America is a country with a diverse population. Being active in the community is something we could all be doing, and we have a system that encourages and makes this possible.

Excuse me but what happened to Black or Hispanic racists groups. Quite frankly I don't believe your number so why don't you post link to that information so I may read it for myself.

Can you post their checklist that they use to define a hate group?
