Kansas is home to three active hate groups, according to a recently released report from the Southern Poverty Law Center.

According to the center, the groups are Topeka-based Westboro Baptist Church, which is anti-LGBT, and two Wichita-based racist skinhead groups, Midland Hammerskins and Crew 38.

Colorado has 15 hate groups, Nebraska seven, Missouri 19 and Oklahoma 11, according to the center’s report. Types of groups in those states, as categorized by the report, include neo-Nazi, Christian identity, black separatist, white nationalist, Ku Klux Klan, racist music, neo-confederate and “general hate.”

The report says that nationwide anti-lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender groups have grown steadily in recent years, from 17 in 2010 to 44 in 2014. According to the report, this corresponds to spreading battles over same-sex marriage.

The Journal-World was unable to reach a Westboro Baptist representative Wednesday afternoon, but a spokesman told The Topeka Capital-Journal the church is not a hate group because members do not practice hostility or violence but rather “love our neighbors by warning them about their sin.”

According to the Midland Hammerskins website, the organization represents skinheads from an eight-state region, and Crew 38 is an online forum for Hammerskin supporters.

The annual report, “The Year in Hate and Extremism,” is published in the Spring 2015 issue of Intelligence Report, the center’s quarterly investigative journal. It identified 784 total hate groups operating nationwide in 2014.

The Montgomery, Ala.,-based Southern Poverty Law Center, founded in 1971, uses litigation, education and advocacy to fight bigotry and is “internationally known for tracking and exposing the activities of hate groups,” according to its website, splcenter.org.
