“I feel it’s the duty of every citizen to struggle for — to advocate for — the civil rights of minorities. That is a part of what it is to be a citizen of this country,” he said.
Hate groups spend more than $30 million a year to spread misinformation and stoke fear, Kyllo said.
Their tactics can be effective, he said. But joining together, learning from one another and standing up — that’s effective, too.

25 years ago, one murder woke Britain up to the reality of violent racism
The story of Stephen Lawrence, the teenager murdered in 1993 is distressing, infuriating, and inspiring.
Distressing because of the horrific way he died, stabbed by a gang of attackers on a London street, and frustrating because of the ineptitude of the investigation that followed. Locals to the area started reporting names of a group of suspects to the police within hours but that information was not acted upon. There were indications of corruption, and the police treated the family with distrust and disrespect. Investigative failures weakened the case so that prosecutions failed, the suspects were able to treat the process with contempt and the family faced injustice at every turn. Only two of the five suspects have been convicted, and even that took decades.
But the family’s dignity and courage are inspiring. Their determination eventually brought about not only justice for Stephen, but also far-reaching change in the British criminal justice system and beyond.
I vividly recall reading reports of the Stephen Lawrence murder. I had just completed my research on violent racism and the news of yet another racist murder in southeast London made for depressing reading.
I was struck by the similarity with dozens of previous murders—a poor initial response from police, who denied a racist motive, incompetence in the investigation, a family ripped apart by grief, but also frustrated by their experiences of being patronized by the police. The pattern was so familiar, I have to admit, that I did not expect this to be the case that would attract the support of Nelson Mandela and the Daily Mail alike. I didn’t think it would lead to a public inquiry that would bring racism and policing to the center of British politics.
Screaming woman ‘is viciously beaten by women in Iran because her red headscarf is deemed an “insufficient” hijab’
A terrified woman has been savagely beaten by morality police thugs in Iran because her headscarf was deemed an ‘insufficient’ covering, activists said.
The outrageous scene, in what appears to be a public park in broad daylight, was secretly filmed by an onlooker and has been spread online by dissident groups.
The disturbing footage initially shows a woman with a red scarf pushed to the back of her head having a heated conversation with a man and another woman.
Seconds later, two women wearing all-black coverings that leave only their faces visible barge onto the scene and begin grabbing and shouting at the woman.
The aggressive goons – who are believed to be members of the Islamic theocracy’s morality police – become increasingly violent towards their frightened victim
The victim can be heard screeching in terror as the sickening abuse continues. At the end of the video, the brutal attackers can be seen pointing and shouting at members of the crowd who appear to disagree with their barbaric actions

The aggressive goons – who are believed to be members of the Islamic theocracy’s morality police – become increasingly violent towards their frightened victim.
Other women, who do not appear to be members of the force, assist the primary attackers as an argument rages throughout.
The victim can be heard screeching in terror as the sickening abuse continues.
She can later be seen lying on the floor, crying in pain and without her headscarf, as a large crowd surrounds her.

Eliminating anti-black racism in Ottawa: Progress is slow, but we’ll get there
That is certainly true about efforts to address local anti-black racism.
We reached a significant milestone in late March with the “Addressing Anti-Black Racism in Ottawa” town hall aimed at reviewing progress – honestly and head-on.
The town hall, which drew a crowd of more than 250, was one step in a long road that has included an initial community Forum on Anti-Black Racism in August 2016, and a subsequent report. These are part of a larger collective journey to dismantle all forms of racism and the effects of colonization on Indigenous Peoples.

Anti-Muslim sentiment higher in Quebec than rest of Canada, study finds
Even though Quebec politicians routinely claim otherwise, a recent study suggests Islamophobia is widespread in the province and more prevalent here than elsewhere in Canada.
The study, published in the current issue of the Canadian Review of Sociology, also found that Muslims were the social group that, across the country, Canadians liked the least.
Whites, Catholics, Indigenous people, racial minorities and members of the LGBT community all received higher average scores than Muslims when Canadians were asked to assign a score between zero and 100 to their feelings about these groups.

Virginia Among Most Hateful In US, Analysis Shows
Since violence broke out in Charlottesville on Aug. 12, 2017, resulting in the death of an anti-racism protester, a number of hate groups have disappeared from Virginia. But new groups have appeared.
White supremacists and nationalist groups thrived in President Trump’s first year in office, according to a new report that showed a 4 percent increase in the number of hate groups nationwide. An analysis of the Southern Poverty Law Center’ report showed Virginia, which has often been in the spotlight for its Confederate history, is the sixth hateful state in the country, with 37 active hate groups.
In its 2018 Intelligence Project report, the civil rights advocacy group the Southern Poverty Law Center said the number of active hate groups in the United States has risen from 784 in 2014 to 954 in 2017 as “alt-right” white supremacy groups broke through a firewall that for decades kept overt racists underground.

Tuchman talks challenges to fighting hate at ADL meeting
Aryeh Tuchman, associate director for the Anti-Defamation League Center on Extremism, said at the Cleveland region ADL annual meeting Feb. 21 that the U.S. faces the biggest challenges on racism and anti-Semitism in decades, in part because “shaming” people for prejudicial remarks doesn’t work as well as it used to.
Tuchman, who spoke to about 90 people at The Temple-Tifereth Israel in Beachwood about “After Charlottesville: The State of Hate in the U.S.,” authors the ADL’s annual audits of anti-Semitic incidents.
Noting his remarks were based on his views rather than the ADL’s, Tuchman said a culture of online trolling and unabashed racists and anti-Semites entering the public sphere, who in the past may have hidden such views, has contributed to the shift. He specifically noted the “Unite the Right” white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., in August and its aftermath.

Anti-fascist protesters rally against racism in Italy
Protesters have gathered to denounce racism after an Italian man opened fire on African migrants in Macerata. Immigration has become one of the most important political issues in the run-up to parliamentary elections.
Thousands of anti-fascist protesters on Saturday took to the streets to rally against racism in the eastern city of Macerata, where an Italian man earlier this month opened fire on African migrants, injuring six people.
Up to 30,000 demonstrators marched through the streets of Macerata carrying placards and shouting slogans against rising right-wing extremism. Protesters also gathered in Milan and other cities across Italy.
“We are here because we want to be a dam against this mountain of hate which is spreading continuously, a social hate against migrants and, in general, against the poor,” Francesco Piobbicchi, a protester, told Reuters news agency.
Tensions reached a fever-pitch on February 3, when Luca Traini, a 28-year-old who ran as a candidate for the far-right Northern League at local elections, went on a two-hour shooting spree targeting African migrants in Macerata.
Traini reportedly told police he was out to avenge the death of Pamela Mastropietro, an 18-year-old Italian woman who was found dead by police. Authorities arrested a suspected drug dealer with Nigerian origins for the murder of Mastropietro.
‘Hate, terror and division’
Protesters also decried political parties’ attempts to use migration as a scapegoat for other issues in the run-up to parliamentary elections slated for March 4.
“If there’s unemployment, blame the government, not the migrants,” protesters chanted during the rally. “The political parties are using populism to create hate, terror and division,” said Valentina Guiliodora, who joined the demonstration.
Italy has witnessed a resurgence of far-right activity, including growing support for the neo-fascist party New Force (Forza Nuova), in tandem with a wave of migrants reaching Italian shores from North Africa over the past four years.
