WHITE SUPERMACY / HATE GROUPS
White Supremacist groups emerged early-
on in the history of United States. They
usually operated clandestinely, in an
attempt to avoid the attention of law
enforcement and the media.
Historically, these groups relied primarily on
word-of-mouth notoriety to intimidate their
intended targets. Their numbers were
sporadic until recently.
Now there is unprecedented growth in the
number of and membership in, white
supremacist groups.
In the 1960’s, the Ku Klux Klan was the most infamous hate groups with an estimated
40,000 members in 1965. But by the end of the 1970’s, the majority of white
supremacists belonged to organizations other than the Klan. They had evolved from
loosely structured fraternal organizations into highly developed paramilitary groups with
extensive survivalist training camps often funded by proceeds from counterfeit money
and bank and armored car robberies.
In the 1990’s, they transformed themselves from a violent vanguard into a sophisticated
political movement with a significant constituency.
In 1979, founder Richard Butler convened the first Aryan Nations World Congress on his
property and attracted Klan and neo-Nazi leaders from the US, Canada and Europe,
who gathered to exchange ideas and strategies.
WHITE SUPRMACY PHILOSOPHY
White Supremacy is an ideology that believes the United States government is
controlled by a conspiratorial cabal of non-whites or Jews or a combination of both.
They advocate changing this "Zionist Occupation Government (ZOG)" through terror
or violence, but also are becoming more politically active in order to influence the
mainstream politics. They tell their followers that crime and welfare abuse by African
Americans, immigration by Mexicans and Asians, or a fictional Jewish conspiracy are
responsible for a decline in the status of white people. They accuse civil rights
organizations of "hating white people" and brand whites who do not support them as
race traitors or self-haters.
Although the Ku Klux Klan is the most notorious, hate groups come in many forms. For
example, they organize as religious cults, most predominantly the Christian Identity
model which asserts that (1) white people are the original Lost Tribes of Israel; (2) Jews
are descendants of Satan; and (3) African Americans and other people of color are
pre-Adamic, or beasts created by God before He created Adam, the first white man.
Christian Identity followers feel they can attack and murder Jews and people of color
without contradicting their religious convictions because they have been told by their
leaders that people of color and Jews have no souls.
Another significant religious cult is the Church of the Creator, founded in 1973. Its
members believe they are engaged in a racial holy war (RAHOWA) between the
"pure" Aryan race and the "mud races." Adherents are frequently in the headlines for
their violence. In 1993, members were arrested by the FBI as part of the Fourth Reich
Skinheads who attempted to bomb a church in Los Angeles and assassinate LA’s
Rodney King. Members have also been arrested in numerous murders, violent assaults,
and bank robberies across the nation. They believe that they can precipitate the race
war by provoking a violent response with attacks upon Jews and people of color.
Most white supremacists in America believe that the United States is a "Christian"
nation, with a special relationship between religion and the rule of law. Because
racists give themselves divine permission from God to hate, they often don't see that
their actions are driven by hate; they claim to "just love God and the white race." If
they are religious, they distort Biblical passages to justify their bigotry.
Each group is working to create a society totally dominated by whites by excluding
and denying the rights of non-whites and Jews. The movement's links are global.
