Calgary White Supremacists Are Targeting College Students 'Like Never Before' | HuffPost Latest News - Action.News ABC Action News WestNet-HD Weather Traffic

The amount of white supremacist propaganda on college campuses in the U.S. increased 258 percent between fall 2016 and fall 2017, according to a report the Anti-Defamation League released Thursday.

There were 147 incidents of white supremacist flyers, banners, posters or stickers found on college campuses during the 2017 fall semester, the report states, compared to 41 such incidents in the fall semester of 2016.

The ADL counted a total of 346 incidents of hate propaganda that had been spread on 216 college campuses in 44 states and Washington, D.C., since September 2016.

White supremacists are targeting college campuses like never before, Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the organization, said in a statement. They see campuses as a fertile recruiting ground, as evident by the unprecedented volume of propagandist activity designed to recruit young people to support their vile ideology.

The propaganda delivered a range of messages, according to the report.

It may promote a white supremacist group, or trumpet the urgent need to save the white race, the report says. Frequently, the propaganda attacks minority groups, including Jews, Blacks, Muslims, non-white immigrants, and the LGBT community.

The groups responsible for the majority of the propaganda belong to the so-called alt-right, a newer generation of organized racists and fascists. The report says one such group, Identity Evropa, targeted college campuses with its propaganda 158 times, accounting for 46 percent of the incidents counted by ADL.

IDENTITY EVROPA (@IdentityEvropa) October 23, 2017

Identity Evropa eschews traditional white supremacist imagery and language in favor of more innocuous-sounding slogans like Our Generation. Our Future. Our Last Chance.

Other groups, however, like the Atomwaffen Division , posted flyers directly threatening minority groups or featuring Nazi imagery.
