Angry America

Guest: Mark Potok, Senior Fellow at the Southern Poverty Law Center  You can feel anger on the presidential campaign trail – especially at rallies for Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. It’s in the comments on your Facebook feed and the voices of people calling in to radio and TV shows. A poll by Esquire Magazine and NBC taken at the end of last year found half of all Americans are angrier today than they were a year ago, and that white Americans are the angriest of all. This rage is borne out in the yearly report from the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups and extremist activity: For the first time in five years, the total number of hate groups rose in 2015.
