Preferred term

hate groups  

Definition

  • Hate groups are organized bodies that target and denigrate specific individuals and groups, often committing crimes against others based on stereotypes, negative biases, prejudices, bigotry, and hatred. The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) posits that the major goal of these groups is to promote hatred, hostility, and animosity against people belonging to a specific race, ethnicity, or group that may be different from the members of the hate group's organization.
