Massachusetts Hate Groups: Map Shows Active Racist Organizations

After a white nationalist gathering stirred up violence — resulting in the death of an anti-racism protester — in Charlottesville, Virginia, the Southern Poverty Law Center is reminding Americans that organized hate isn't a thing of the past. SPLC says nearly 1,000 organizations that meet its criteria for being designated a hate group are currently active nationwide.

In Massachusetts, SPLC says 12 hate groups — from Neo-Nazis to anti-LGBTQ, anti-Muslim and black separatist organizations — are active. The SPLC website has an interactive map showing the location of hate groups state by state.

On Monday, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh strongly condemned any hate groups planning to attend a demonstration on the Boston Common slated for this Saturday. Many have sought to connect the "Second Boston Free Speech Rally" to the "Unite the Right" demonstration at the center of the violence in Charlottesville, but the organizers have vehemently denied any association.

"We are not in any way associated with the organizers of the Charlottesville rally," the group wrote on Facebook. "There has been threats made against our lives already and we will be contacting Boston PD."

Amid concern over hate groups flocking to the Common to participate in Saturday's planned rally, Walsh pulled no punches at a press conference Monday: "Boston does not welcome you here. Boston does not want you here. Boston rejects your message."
