"Those are not tobacco-chewing, pot-bellied Klansmen from the Deep South," he said. "You're talking about college-educated, clever people."
"I think it's important that parents know so they can take some steps to make sure their kids don't get sucked up in this stuff," Dees said.
Just as Rotary Clubs are finding that people are less willing to meet in groups these days, so is the Ku Klux Klan, Dees said. But with the Web, the Klan is able to create a virtual organization.
HBO is developing a cyberspace campaign, "Hate Hurts," that will present personal experiences about the impact of hate on people's lives.
These Web sites help leaders of the movement recruit young, educated members, he said.
NEW YORK — Check your stereotypes at the door. The best place to find purveyors of racial hate isn't in the back room of some service station in Alabama or Mississippi.
Starting from scratch five years ago, there now are between 300 and 500 racial hate Web sites operating, Dees said.
"The film is depressing in the sense that it really paints a gloomy picture of what's out there on the Web," said Morris Dees, co-founder of the Southern Poverty Law Center. "But I think that's necessary to do something about it." Dees, whose organization has gone to court in an effort to bankrupt White supremacist organizations, was contacted by filmmakers to help provide information on hate groups. He grew so involved he became the film's narrator.
The documentary explores an online racist subculture, tracing its members to many of the notorious acts of domestic terrorism during the past decade.
Documentary highlights Web hate-group sites
It's on the Internet, a fact outlined with chilling dispassion on the new HBO documentary, Hate.com: Extremists on the Internet. It premiered at 9 last night.
