Number of hate groups jumped dramatically since President Obama took office but this year marks a slight drop from 1,007 in 2012 to 939 in 2013
California has the most with 77 groups followed by Florida with 58 and Texas with 57

A revealing new map has made it clear where hundreds of hate groups are based in the United States, showing how racist and radical groups are still largely found in the South but the number of groups has multiplied dramatically since President Obama too office.
The Southern Poverty Law Center has released a 'hate map' last week which shows the national distribution of the various groups that they could confirm.
The overall number of groups actually dropped from 1,007 in 2012 to 939 in 2013- the last full year with available data- but one of their more troubling observations is that some of the far-right leaning groups have had their ideologies picked up by conservative Republican politicians.
‘The idea that the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security, among others, is being plugged by U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.). Last November, U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) suggested the president was using the Affordable Care Act as cover to set up a “secret security force,”’ the report states.
‘Earlier in 2013, U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas), echoing many Patriot groups, falsely claimed that a proposed United Nations arms treaty “set the stage for [gun] confiscation on a global scale.”’
The SPLC, which focuses much of its work combating racist groups, said that the lack of clear legislative victories for the Obama administration on gun control in the wake of Sandy Hook and the upcoming immigration reform battle appear to have effectively calmed some of the far-right groups.
‘Those factors, along with the collapse or near-collapse of several major groups for a variety of reasons, seem to have taken some of the wind out of the sails of the radical right, leaving the movement both weaker and somewhat smaller,’ the report states.
Many states have varying bands of hate groups, but for their map, the SPLC qualified them into eight categories: black separatist, neo-confederate, Christian identity, racist skinhead, white nationalist, neo-Nazi, Ku Klux Klan and general hate.
There is only one state- Hawaii- that has no known hate groups but a vast majority of the rest can be found below the Mason Dixon line.
The 11 states that make up the area between Texas and the Atlantic are home to 589 of the 939 active groups that the SPLC identified- a whopping nearly 63 per cent.
Though Florida hosts 58 groups and Texas has 57, they do not take the top slot this year.

Neo-confederates and neo-nazis both are tied to failed political movements. I live in Texas and you can see plenty of confederate "cya" material at the state capitol, including a plaque which explains that the Civil War had absolutely nothing to do with slavery, and was an ardent defense of state rights.
Neo-nazis are usually simultaneously Holocaust deniers and violent anti-Semites.
KKK are somewhat similar to neo-confederates in that their roots are in the post civil war south and originally tried to restore all the racial privileges of whites in the south. They changed over the years, but to me they aren't too different from their roots, the first and most violent neo-confederates.
White nationalists want to eventually have their own racially pure country, like the plot of the Turner Diaries (it used to be online, it's some of the worst writing I've ever read).
Racist Skinheads I think were co-opted out of skinhead/ska fad, umm maybe 1970's -1980's first in the UK then here I think. In the UK I believe it was to diffuse/confuse unemployed people to blame minorities for their economic problems rather than Thatcherism and austerity.
Operationally, they aren't too different. A documentary called "Blood in the Face" was my first media exposure to them. It provides an overview and interviews with a few of these people. One of the directors was involved in "The Atomic Cafe" (a simultaneously satiric and chilling narrator-less documentary that used of mostly pro atomic warfare government films, period films and news), and some of the interviews are conducted by an off camera Michael Moore. It's available on youtube, but has apparently been used by anti-Muslims, and some racists, but I think the documentary stands up to this abuse and would recommend watching it.
And underneath it is this statement:
Growing trend: The number of hate groups jumps during Democratic administrations but particularly during that of President Obama

Let's say it again - during the Obama Admin they came slithering out on their slimy bellies and multiplied their numbers.

See folks - the black folks - we aren't making this shit up. 
I know the map shows things all over the board and from different perspectives - but at the end of the day - we 'know' something in our guts and it is an absolute truth.
I haven't visited the comments over there before, and it was quite the sight.
You can look down on me for not knowing much about the Daily Mail.
If it makes you feel better about yourself, then it's all good.
