If you didn't know what scary (aka: sad and terrifying) groups were in your back yard, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has compiled a list, complete with a map of the US to find your local hate groups. Here's what's in Colorado.
It's good to be aware. Just like poverty, racism and hatred is fairly hard to address or battle when you don't know where it is, or it goes on under your nose. If you thought the KKK only existed in the South, or Neo-Nazi's were based mostly out of LA or NYC, boy are you in for a shock.
The SPLC has info on how to get involved in promoting peace-making efforts.
