How Journalists Should Write about Hate Groups and Hate Group Members
A Bard Center for the Study of Hate Webinar
Thursday, October 7, 2021 3–4 pm
Online Event 3 PM NY l 9 PM Vienna
The Bard Center for the Study of Hate (BCSH) hosts a discussion with Bill Morlin, a journalist long admired for his reporting on white supremacy, who will speak on “how journalists should write about hate groups and hate group members.”
Ken Stern, of BCSH, notes that "In my opinion, most journalists who cover hate groups, their leaders, or their members do a poor job. For example, when David Duke was running for elective office in Louisiana, he’d frequently be asked questions about his past as a Klan leader, which he would charmingly deflect. Some 1990s militia leaders explained their hate and planning for violence as, 'we’re only defending the Constitution,' and few journalists knew how to expose exactly what they meant . (Militia leaders claimed that the Constitution didn’t include Amendments after the Bill of Rights, and thus didn’t free the slaves or allow women to vote).
Writing about hate and hate groups takes special journalistic skill. Bill Morlin's powerful writing always treats the haters as real people but also clearly demonstrates the menace and danger of their ideas and organizing.

Throughout the Corona Crisis, migrant farmworkers continue to work day in and day out to produce the milk and dairy products that line supermarket shelves. Join Migrant Justice for a 1.5 hour presentation to learn more about farmworkers’ groundbreaking Milk with Dignity program which brings together farmworkers, consumers, farmer owners and corporate buyers with the principal goal of fostering a sustainable Northeast dairy industry that advances the human rights of farm workers, supports the long-term interests of farm owners, and provides an ethical supply chain for retail food companies and consumers. We know that the cows don't milk themselves: Learn more about how you can get involved and help expand this powerful solution to the Hannaford supermarket’s supply chain.

This lecture series, held throughout the 2021-2022 academic year, will explore the ongoing phenomenon of antisemitism by examining its myriad historical contexts and relationships to other forms of prejudice and hatred.
This presentation will first consider the recent debate whether anti-Semitism should be considered a form of racism or a unique form of hatred. Framing this discussion within a historical overview, we will consider how Judeophobia was entangled with Islamophobia and what Fanon called Negrophobia. We will unpack the origins of the terms “anti-Semitism” and “racism” and consider how many theorists in the aftermath of the Holocaust and during anti-colonial struggles understood the linkages between these terms. These theorists were opposed by scholars and writers who insist upon the singularity of anti-Semitism. I will suggest that the root of these claims stem from notions of Jewish choseness, Zionist understandings of anti-Semitism, and claims about the uniqueness of the Holocaust. I will argue that the assertions of uniqueness do not hold up to scrutiny, make a case for why exceptionalist arguments lead to a dead-end in efforts to fight anti-Semitism, and conclude that the struggle today demands that we be clear that anti-Semitism is racism and must be combatted as part of the broader anti-racist struggle.
