Pretend I know nothing about these groups because I don't, but you do apparently, so please go into more detail beyond naming groups and calling them racist.

I'll give you some reading suggestions. Start with the books mentioned as the best books in a wikipedia user page with bibliography on these subjects.

Begin with the books in the section "Best literature on 'race.'" That will expose you to history, biology, and sociology related to the subject of "race," and help you understand the context of race-advocacy groups. Then read the book The funding of Scientific Racism: Wickliffe Draper and the Pioneer Fund by William Tucker (mentioned in a listing of better monographs on the subjects covered by the bibliography page). I learned a lot of interesting facts I had never known before when I read Tucker's book, including interesting facts about where some advocacy groups get their money, which was long a mystery to me.
