SBS Dateline | America s Nazi Backlash

Dateline investigates how economic uncertainty in the US is leading to an increase in the popularity of white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups.

But while such groups may appear at first glance to be in the minority, Rowley also uncovered links between white nationalists and the high-profile conservative Tea Party Movement.

So could the racial problems that have dogged the United States in the past be coming to the surface once more?
