Christian Identity

Christian Identity is a Christian movement which argues that Aryans are the true Israel and Jews are the spawn of Satan. They are a strong influence behind the KKK and other Christian extremist groups.
White Nationalism, Intellectual Impairment of Authoritarianism
It might sound like nothing more than an ad hominem attack to say that authoritarians aren't very bright, but in fact there is solid research which demonstrates that the higher a person scores on tests for authoritarian tendencies, the worse they score on tests for basic intellectual skills, cognitive functions like reading comprehension and retaining information.
U.S. Military Recruiting, Training White Supremacists
In the past, the Pentagon didn't permit members of any gangs - including White Supremacist groups - to join the military.

Now the standards are being reduced and members of hate groups are almost walking in.

Christian Identity is the dominant theology of many active right-wing Christian groups, including many if not most Ku Klux Klan organizations.

David Duke Report Online
According to this former KKK member, "Hear my brand new update about the real purveyors of racial hatred, the makers of anti-white hate movies and documentaries that ultimately instigate black criminals to rob, rape, and murder White people."
