Días después de las violentas protestas racistas y pro-Nazi en Charlottesville que dejaron una persona muerta y decenas de heridos en un atentado terrorista de un supremacista blanco, el Southern Poverty Law Center recuerda que el odio organizado no es cosa del pasado y que el racismo sigue vivo en las comunidades de Long Island.
El SPLC dice que casi 1.000 organizaciones que cumplen con los criterios para ser designadas como un grupo de odio están actualmente activas en todo el país.
En el estado de Nueva York, hay 47 grupos de odio activos, dos en Long Island, uno en Hampton Bays y uno en Hempstead, según el SPLC, desde supremacistas blancos hasta organizaciones anti-LGBTQ, anti-musulmanas y separatistas negras.
Cientos de personas se reunieron en varias partes de Long Island para rechazar los actos violentos y hacer un tributo a Heather Heyer, la mujer asesinada cuando un terrorista neo-nazi condujo su vehículo en una multitud de manifestantes anti-racistas. Dos soldados del estado de Virginia también murieron en un accidente de helicóptero cerca del sitio de la manifestación «Unite the Right» en Charlottesville.
