MEMPHIS, TN -- The Southern Poverty Law Center says there are more than 800 hate groups in the United States and the numbers are growing. Heidi Beirich, a spokesperson for the Southern Poverty Law Center, says 38 of those groups are in Tennessee, 28 in Mississippi, and 18 in Arkansas. In the Memphis area, there are 5.

When Eyewitness News contacted the groups, some denied they were hate groups, but did say they were for “white rights” or that they supported “states’ rights and preserving Southern heritage.”

Billy Roper, the White Revolution spokesperson, did admit he was a racist and that his group was a hate group.
