Confronting Hate
The Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit organization founded
in 1971 to enact the ideals of the civil rights movement, has become
"internationally known for tracking and exposing the activities of hate
groups" (SPLC, 2010). According to the SPLC, 932 hate groups were active
in the United States in 2009, a 54% increase since 2000. Although not all of
these groups engage in criminal or violent activity, many use the Internet to
spread malicious information about categories of people, making their influence
deceptively pervasive.
For this week's Discussion, you will consider how to identify and confront the messages spread by hate groups. Prepare for the Discussion by completing the following:
For this week's Discussion, you will consider how to identify and confront the messages spread by hate groups. Prepare for the Discussion by completing the following:
1. Locate a hate group on the
Internet. The Southern Poverty Law Center's "hate map"
(http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/hate-map) provides a useful starting
point.
2. Analyze the site using the
following questions:
·
What appear to be the goals of this hate group?
·
How does this group try to rationalize and "market"
hate?
·
What prejudices, stereotypes, and "isms" are revealed in
this Web site?
By Day 3:
Post the URL of the hate group you investigated and a written
summary of your responses to the questions above. Suggest at least one response
to confront the hate group's position through proactive methods. Cite ideas
from your readings as appropriate, particularly the section "Overcoming
Diversity Barriers" on pages 83–89 of your text.
