Motivation and Hate Groups People don’t like a lot of things. Some people hate them so much that they start a hate group. A hate group is an organization that promotes and practices hatred and violence towards members of a different race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation and any other things that make people different then each other. One of these organizations is the Ku Klux Klan, also known as the KKK. This particular group started off by discriminating African Americans and later on Jews and other members of a different race or religion.
I think there should be a very good reason as to what motivates people to join such organizations. I don’t believe in hating something or someone that much to want to destroy it. Personally, in my opinion, people in hate groups, such as the KKK, are racist beings with no life whatsoever. These people seem so ignorant they might not even have a very good reason to have joined a hate group. The KKK lost very many of its members after people started realizing how stupid and ignorant the organization was. I can’t think of much that could motivate people these days to be a part of a hate group. After African Americans gained their freedom, some people were outraged and shocked and with such a big change, I think they were motivated to join the hate group. But now in 2014, there’s nothing that these people, whatever ethnicity, race, or religion they are, did to the members of the hate group, so there’s no reason to propose violence onto
Portka 2 them. Everybody is different, whether they’re different because of their race, religion, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. For example, not everybody is fond of gays. Not long ago, Arizona’s Legislature has passed a controversial bill that would give business owners permission to deny service to gay and lesbian costumers. In my opinion, the bill is ridiculous, but it just goes to show how people who actually take advantage
