TEN WAYS TO FIGHT HATE

DAVID PHILLIP / AP WIDE WORLD

Community members come together at a unity rally in Jasper, Texas, following the dragging death of James Byrd Jr.

1

ACT

6

SPEAK UP

Do something. In the face of hatred, apathy will be interpreted as acceptance — by the perpetrators, the public and, worse, the victims. Decent people must take action; if we don’t, hate persists. page 6

2

UNITE

Call a friend or co-worker. Organize allies from churches, schools, clubs and other civic groups. Create a diverse coalition. Include children, police and the media. Gather ideas from everyone, and get everyone involved. page 8

3

SUPPORT THE VICTIMS

Hate-crime victims are especially vulnerable, fearful and alone. If you’re a victim, report every incident — in detail — and ask for help. If you learn about a hate-crime victim in your community, show support. Let victims know you care. Surround them with comfort and protection. page 10

Hate must be exposed and denounced. Help news organizations achieve balance and depth. Do not debate hate-group members in conflict-driven forums. Instead, speak up in ways that draw attention away from hate, toward unity. page 16

7

LOBBY LEADERS

Elected officials and other community leaders can be important allies in the fight against hate. But some must overcome reluctance — and others, their own biases — before they’re able to take a stand. page 18

8

LOOK LONG RANGE

Promote tolerance and address bias before another hate crime can occur. Expand your community’s comfort zones so you can learn and live together. page 20

DO YOUR HOMEWORK

An informed campaign improves its effectiveness. Determine if a hate group is involved, and research its symbols and agenda. Understand the difference between a hate crime and a bias incident. page 12

CREATE AN ALTERNATIVE

Do not attend a hate rally. Find another outlet for anger and frustration and for people’s desire to do something. Hold a unity rally or parade to draw media attention away from hate. page 14

TEACH TOLERANCE

Bias is learned early, usually at home. Schools can offer lessons of tolerance and acceptance. Sponsor an “I Have a Dream” contest. Reach out to young people who may be susceptible to hate-group propaganda and prejudice. page 22

DIG DEEPER

Look inside yourself for prejudices and stereotypes. Build your own cultural competency, then keep working to expose discrimination wherever it happens — in housing, employment, education and more. page 24 A list of resources begins on page 30

BIG STORIES/LITTLE SEEDS

David Duke and Eracism After former Klan leader David Duke’s 1991 run for governor shook up Louisiana, The Times-Picayune of New Orleans published an in-depth series on race relations, “Together Apart,” which included hundreds of letters and phone comments from readers. Bookstore owner Rhoda Faust, a white woman, wrote: “Let’s think of ways to let each other know that we love and respect one another as God’s fellow creatures.” Brenda Thompson, a black woman, responded, calling for “some sort of symbol, something to let the world know that all of us aren’t infected with … hate.” The two met for coffee, and the group “Erace” was born. Their slogan, “Eracism — all colors with love and respect,” is now carried on more than 30,000 bumper stickers, distributed by Erace. Said Faust: “Imagine a city where every car displays the sticker. Think of the message that would send. Think of how blacks and whites would feel in such a place.” The 200-member group also sponsors regular, candid discussions on race. The efforts of Faust and Thompson were recognized by President Clinton, who included their group in a “Promising Practices” list as part of his Initiative on Race.

Project Lemonade Bill and Lindy Seltzer, a Jewish couple in Springfield, Ill., were frustrated that the First Amendment gave neo-Nazis the right to march in public rallies. So they devised a way to turn hate’s sourness into something sweet. Project Lemonade, now used in dozens of communities across the country, raises money for tolerance causes by collecting pledges for every minute of a hate-group event. The Seltzers organized their first Project Lemonade during a 1994 Ku Klux Klan rally in Springfield. Using school equipment, they copied and mailed thousands

of pledge fliers. Then they held a press conference to announce the unique event. They raised $10,000. When People magazine picked up the story, the idea spread nationwide. The Seltzers created a kit for other communities that included practical advice: “Schedule an organizational meeting with community leaders, arrange for a local telephone number and answering machine, recruit volunteers, raise seed money, carry a supply of cover letters and pass them out. Involve the police. Invite the media. Schedule press conferences. Try to be interviewed for radio and TV talk shows. Keep Project Lemonade in the media as much as possible.” Lindy also warned would-be organizers to expect hate calls. “Ignore them. Stay positive and respectful. Encourage people to stay away from the Klan rally; they are looking for a fight. The Klan will leave, and the community will have the last say. It will be a positive one.” In Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, for example, the $28,000 raised during one white-supremacist rally supported human rights causes. In Boyertown, Pa., Project Lemonade so irritated the Klan that the hate group threatened to sue organizers for raising money “on our name.” Money raised there went for library books on black history.

Every Second Counts Keith Orr, an activist in Ann Arbor, Mich., used the Project Lemonade model to create an “Every Second Counts” campaign in response to a 2001 rally by the viciously anti-gay Fred Phelps. Orr knew a direct confrontation would actually add fuel to Phelps fiery hate speech, so instead, he sought pledges to support a local gay-advocacy group. With pennies and dollars coming from as far away as California and New Hampshire, Orr raised nearly $7,500. Orr then helped people in Madison, Wis., organize a similar response to Phelps, raising $6,000 more for the local Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network. As Orr said later: “Fred Phelps himself may as well have written the check. It was his bigotry that pushed people to give.”

WHAT’S A HATE CRIME?

A hate crime must meet two criteria: •A crime must happen, such as physical assault, intimidation, arson or vandalism; •The crime must be motivated, in whole or in part, by bias. The list of biases included in hate crime statutes varies. Most include race, ethnicity and religion. Some also include sexual orientation, gender and/or disability. In some cases, these statutes apply only to specific situations, such as housing discrimination. As you respond to a hate crime, check specific statutes in your area, then consider working to add missing categories, such as protections for people who are gay, lesbian or transgender.

What’s a Bias Incident? A bias incident is conduct, speech or expression that is motivated by bias or prejudice but doesn’t involve a criminal act.

 What’s the Difference?

Hate crimes, if charged and prosecuted, will be dealt with in the court system. They typically carry enhanced penalties, such as longer sentences. Bias incidents occur with no clear path or procedure for recourse. Both, however, demand unified and unflinching denouncement from individuals, groups and entire communities.

What’s the Impact? Hate crimes and bias incidents don’t just victimize individuals; they torment entire communities. When someone scrawls threatening graffiti targeting Asian Americans, for example, the entire community of Asian Americans may feel frightened and unsafe, as may members of other ethnic or racial groups.

Create an Alternative Do not attend a hate rally. Find another outlet for anger and frustration and for people’s desire to do something. Hold a unity rally or parade to draw media attention away from hate.

Speak Up

Hate must be exposed and denounced. Help news organizations achieve balance and depth. Do not debate hate-group members in conflictdriven forums. Instead, speak up in ways that draw attention away from hate, toward unity.

TEN WAYS TO FIGHT HATE

A MESSAGE FOR THE MEDIA Share this with media contacts you know, or simply photocopy it and mail it to an editor, anchor, columnist or reporter: A newsroom that covers race issues thoroughly and regularly sets an agenda for the community. Nuanced and thoughtful coverage — rather than shallow, knee-jerk stories or images — deepens our community’s discussion and understanding of race. Consider the following: >> The masked, mysterious Klansman, like his burning cross, is an emotional image loaded with historical associations. Don’t let this cliché control the story. Include a serious look at the Klan’s numbers and influence, its involvement in hate crimes, and the hypocrisy of its pseudo-Christian message.

>> Don’t allow hate groups to

masquerade as white-pride civic groups. In their literature and on their websites, they denigrate certain scapegoats, typically people of color and Jews. Gather comments from local police, state human rights commissions, the Southern Poverty Law Center or the Anti-Defamation League.

>> Klan and other white su-

premacist rallies represent the outer margin of American society. No meaningful dialogue on race can occur when it is framed by such extremes. See deeper, more thoughtful coverage of issues of race and other -isms.

As a final thought, we ask you to: Take hate crimes seriously and report them prominently. Consider an annual “race report card.” Give reporters time to cover the Klan and other hate groups in depth, beyond an annual parade. Cover the impact of hate on victims and other members of target groups. Become an activist against hate, just as you are against crime. Sponsor a forum or other community journalism event tied to these issues. And don’t miss the “good news” as ordinary people struggle with homegrown ways to promote tolerance. You are part of our community, and you must be part of our fight against hate.
