The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a Montgomery, AL based civil rights group, in an annual report released today stated that the number of domestic hate and anti-government groups declined last year after years of sustained increases that saw levels reach modern records. Hate groups, including neo-Nazis, racist skinheads and the Klan, who espouse falsehoods and bigotry based on group status such as race, religion and sexual orientation declined 7% to 939 in 2013, from 1007 the previous year. The number of hate groups has declined for two consecutive years since hitting a multi-decade high of 1,018 in 2011.
