There are various organizations of white racists in the USA: “Ku Klux Klan”, “White Aryan Resistance”, “Aryan Brotherhood”, “Aryan Republican Army”, “Christian Identity”, “World Church of the Creator”, “Aryan Congress of Nations”, “Nationalist Right Party”, “National Socialist Party of the USA”, “National Socialist Party of White People”, etc. In total, according to US intelligence services, at least 67 different racist and neo-fascist organizations operated in the country.

Among the neo-pagan groups, the armed cultists of Odin are of interest: the White House Network and Votan’s Volk, led by David Lane. The White House Network now promotes an Odinist worldview among young people and the white population of America. The organization publishes a journal dedicated to research in the field of Celtic and Runic art. “Votan’s Volk” has its own publishing house, which publishes books under the motto: “We must defend the very existence of our people and preserve the future for our white children.” The following basic principles of Odinism, shared by activists, can be identified: “1) We recognize Odin (Wotan) as the All-Father of the white race and the driving force of the Aryans in the world. 2) White humanity is moving forward both individually and collectively. 3) Our life consists not only of joys, but also of struggles. We recognize both. 4) The racial and cultural heritage of our race is the most sacred thing we possess, and which we are obliged to protect and preserve for the sake of the future. 5) Community of race is our highest value. 6) Self-improvement of white people is a guarantee of a white future. 7) Acquaintance with wisdom is the highest virtue for a white man. 8) Love of truth, self-sacrifice, courage, loyalty, service to truth and beauty - mandatory requirements to the white man."

The Ku Klux Klan (KKK), which arose back in 1865, is currently fragmented into many small, uninfluential organizations that interact with Nazis and skinheads, not exceeding the number of 10-17 thousand people. The movement's members are predominantly middle-aged workers. There are groups of clanists in England and Canada. The “New Ku Klux Klan” took shape in the 70s - 80s. XX century At this time he experienced his third rebirth. Between 1975 and 1979 the number of members of the organization increased from 6.5 thousand people to 10 thousand people. The number of potential supporters - those who read the literature published by the Klan and attended its rallies, but were not officially registered members - was estimated at 75 thousand people.

The KKK's ideological program is based on three central concepts: patriotism, Americanism and white supremacy. The most famous groups of Ku Klux Klansmen: “Knights of the Ku Klux Klan of Carolina”, “Knights of the Confederacy”, “Order”, “White Patriot Party”, “Union of White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan”.

“Aryan Nations” (AN, Aryan Nations; Church of Christian Aryan Nations; Church of Jesus Christ Christian; USA) is the largest organization of white racists. Created in 1974. Unites numerous racist groups that consider representatives of European nations as the lost tribe of Israel; have a sharply negative attitude towards Jews (accusing them of Satanism) and blacks (as incapable of independent

management). The US federal government regards it as a Zionist occupation government run by Israel. They are oriented towards Christian fundamentalism. As a political goal, the AN puts forward the need to expel all representatives of national minorities and create an Aryan state on the territory of the five northwestern states. The founder of NA is Richard Girnt Butler, the ideologist is Dr. Wesley Swift (died 1970). Other leaders: Carl Franklin, Louis Bahm, Bruce Bedsworth, Floyd Cochran. The headquarters is in Idaho. The organization unites 500 activists and from 6 to 15 thousand supporters. AN organizes bank robberies, explosions, murders, etc. Arrested NA activists agitate in prisons, seek to recruit new members, declare the need to destroy members of the government, and develop urban guerrilla warfare tactics. In 1987, militants carried out 5 explosions in Idaho, causing minor damage. A number of leaders were accused of anti-government conspiracy: they tried to receive funding and weapons from foreign countries. NA maintains contacts with right-wing radical, neo-fascist and Christian fundamentalist organizations: the Ku Klux Klan and the Minutemen (“Montana State Militia”, “Nevada State Volunteers”), groups “Mountain Church”, “Teutonic Unity”, “Euro-American Union” ", "Aryan Brotherhood", a foreign organization - the National Socialist German Workers' Party, the Christian Defense League. NA organizes discussions with Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam on the best way creation of two racially pure states. The ideological principles of NA are published in the books: “Calling Our Nation”, “National Chronicle”, “The Way”. Financing is carried out from our own funds.

"Aryan Nations" are associated with other white supremacist groups wearing common name– “Identity Christians.” The Christian idea in the broadest sense is in decline on the right, but this is not the case for Identity Christians. Christian Identity pastors spread seeds of racial segregation and hatred throughout the American continent, sometimes without emphasizing whom they themselves hate more. They see their main ideological basis in the Bible. But what could American racists find in it? Racologists gave the Bible a “second wind.” Identity Christians identify themselves with the first white men who held sway in ancient times. The world is divided into the children of Adam - the White Adamites and his descendants - the White people, or as they are called “true Israelites” (please do not confuse them with Jews and Jews). The once white ancestors rebelled against their sinfully fallen neighbors and children of the Devil - the Jews and their god, and then, hiding from the persecution of the Jews, settled in European countries (the main tribe settled in England). The servants of Satan took over their land and began to persecute the white descendants of Adam everywhere. Hence the physiological phobia of this Christian denomination follows. Here are some ideological points of the Church of Identity Christians, united in the union "Aryan Nations": 1) NA is a white racial geopolitical and geopolitical movement fighting for the restoration of white Aryan power in full; 2) AN is racial and national, since our race is our nation, every white person is a member of the Aryan Race, wherever he is; 3) AN - professes positive Christianity, and adheres to the natural laws of life given by God: 4) AN - progressive, since it fights for the restoration of the rights of the White Race and the fulfillment of its mission; 5) AN is the hope that the death sentence of our race will be reversed, and the laws of God will heal the people; 6) AN - recognizes that race creates the state, not the state creates the race; 7) AN - recognizes that the culture of a race can only exist through pure blood.

The philosophy of the Aryan Nations union is expressed in the following theses: “A nation is a racial, cultural, spiritual community of people. Race is the blood and soul of a nation. Every individual is part of the nation. The individual lives not for himself, but for his posterity and his race. Man is the brain and seed of a nation. A woman is the heart and the earth. Old people are the wisdom of the nation. Family is the basis of the clan, without which there is no future. Children are the key to the prosperity of a race; they are the meaning and purpose of its existence. Nature is the unwritten law of God. Social justice - the structure of Aryan law, comes from the commandments of God. Race and blood are eternal."

The Aryan Nations is currently led by Pastor Richard Butler, a former member of the terrorist group TNE ORDER. This organization merged with armed "hate groups" from the KKK and neo-Nazis. The Aryan Nations are strong proponents of war and aggression in all areas of human activity. They have armed groups throughout America waiting for orders to persecute and kill Satan's servants and racial opponents. Christ, as understood by Identity Christians, is not a harmless savior of everyone and everything, but a racial inquisitor. The followers of Pastor Butler are waiting, like manna from heaven, for the Apocalypse, during which they will conquer their racially pure paradise with arms in hand. Identity Christians interact with right-wing radicals in other countries. They spread their influence to Europe and Australia.

Other radical white organizations: - Groups that have activists throughout the country and claim that white Anglo-Saxons are the true heirs of the “lost tribe” of Israel, that they will be the only ones who will be able to survive the coming war between the races. - Nationalists (National Democratic Front of Harry Gallo), who advocate the complete separation of the two races, and in this they often unite with black nationalists who share similar ideas. - National Socialists, such as Tom Metzger, the leader of the White Aryan Resistance, who reject capitalism and consider themselves defenders of the white working class. - Skinheads are neo-Nazi groups of teenagers, whom far-right ideologists call “the vanguard of the fight for the ideals of the race.” - Supporters of the Christian Patriotic Defense League, who are constantly engaged in military and political training of their members. - Members of the Committee for the Independence of the States, who believe that real power should be in the hands of local leaders, and they consider representatives of the Federal Government as their mortal enemies.

Thus, both the above and other similar organizations do not strive for a sharp increase in the number of their members, because they believe that the success of any revolution depends primarily on the activities of a small group of people sincerely devoted to it and competently carried out propaganda work in the means mass media. At the same time, racists do not avoid attracting representatives of various segments of the population into their ranks. Thus, the most active members of the Aryan Nations group are prisoners. In the newspaper “Put”, specially published for them, they are called nothing less than “political prisoners of the Zionist occupation government.” These people, whose total number is approaching 2 thousand people, are ideal candidates for membership in such radical groups. Firstly, they have already once demonstrated their willingness to act in spite of prohibitions and persecution, and, secondly, after their release, they willingly become the most devoted members of the organizations that provided them with moral, ideological and financial support during their imprisonment.

Other, most desirable members of such organizations are traditionally teenagers (Aryan Youth Movement). Leaders of the neo-Nazi movement also regularly visit university campuses in an attempt to interest young people in Nazi ideology.

In most cases, American white ultras who profess the idea of ​​racial superiority are distinguished by good armament, ideological training and an extremely negative attitude towards state system. The negative attitude towards the state reflected the old ideas of the freemen of the Wild West, which were continued in gangster traditions. This feature distinguishes American white ultras from European neo-Nazis. The US government is conducting a targeted fight against extremism. As early as 1988, 17 US states passed laws prohibiting any military training other than that conducted by official authorities, since such activities contribute to the disruption of order and lawfulness.

MOSCOW, October 9 – RIA Novosti, Igor Gashkov. Racial clashes are not off the agenda in the United States. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has released a report that lists "black racial identity extremism" for the first time among nine "disruptive threats" directly threatening America. Intelligence officers analyzed cases of attacks by lone black terrorists on whites and identified a new trend. Police officers are becoming victims of crimes motivated by black-white hatred, something that did not happen even at the height of racial unrest in the 1970s.

New extremists attack the US

The appearance of the FBI report on the participation of black extremists in disrupting intercommunal peace coincided with the unrest in the American city of Charlottesville in August 2017, but the analytical note was published only now. On the eve of the clashes that divided supporters and opponents of the removal of a statue of 19th-century general Robert E. Lee, who advocated the preservation of slavery, intelligence analysts felt it necessary to warn their leadership about the danger posed by black radicals. At the same time, for the first time in American practice, the very concept of “extremism based on black racial identity” (BIE - black identity extremism) was introduced into circulation. Until mid-2017, such an abbreviation was unknown in the United States.

The change in the language used by intelligence agencies is a significant event in itself. The authors of the report attempted to explain why the introduction of a new term corresponds to the changed realities of the United States. “The FBI considered the alternative hypothesis that revenge-motivated retaliatory violence was not ideologically motivated but was simply driven by hostility toward police with racial tension used as justification, but found this to be implausible,” the text reads. There, the authors acknowledge that cases of racially motivated violence against blacks have occurred in the United States before, but between 1994 and 2014 they significantly declined and only resumed in the last three years. A new black extremism has emerged that is deliberate in nature and finds expression in calculated acts of revenge, the victims of which are predominantly law enforcement officers.

As a typical example of a crime motivated by racial hatred, intelligence experts cite the 2016 massacre committed by former soldier Micah Johnson, who shot five police officers, all of whom were white. Johnson, who said he was taking revenge on law enforcement for their crimes, “was influenced by the ideology of black extremism, which pushed him to action,” the report says. Johnson himself spoke openly about hating whites. The FBI thus admitted that the beliefs of the black criminal contained elements of anti-white racism.

Black and white: is there equality between types of racism?

The publication of the report, designed to inform Americans about the emergence of a new threat, was critically received by the United States media and the expert community. Commentators who disagree with the FBI note the divisions that exist among radicalized blacks and question the need for a separate new term to denote the intolerance of African Americans toward their white compatriots. Supporters of left-liberal values ​​link the new turn in the FBI's activities towards investigating the "black threat" with relapses of racism. There is a widespread view that by highlighting the dangers of black extremists, the FBI is allegedly trying to divert attention from white radicals, who are said to commit crimes more often than their black antagonists.

The election of US President Donald Trump in 2016 led to changes in internal regulations intelligence services. The new owner of the White House ordered the FBI to change its priorities so that, instead of primarily countering “white extremism,” it would focus on the fight against Islamic extremism. Despite the fact that relations between the intelligence service and the owner of the White House remain cool - in the spring of 2017, Trump fired the head of the FBI, James Comey - critics of the president argue that under him, vigilance towards acts of white racism has decreased.

Trump’s statements during the unrest in Charlottesville in August 2017 added fuel to the fire: the president spoke about the danger various types radicalism that refused to blame racial tensions on whites alone. The response to the US President was a massive campaign by Democrats and their sympathizers in the press.

The publication of the FBI report on the “black threat” coincided with increased tension in Charlottesville, where the conflict, as it is now becoming clear, has not been completely resolved. On October 8, white activists accused of racism marched with lit torches to a statue of General Robert E. Lee. The monument is destined for demolition, but in the name of pacifying passions, a compromise solution was temporarily adopted: the statue remains in place, but was covered with a veil.

Racism white and black

Racism white and black

In general, when people talk about racism, they usually mean white racism. Was he? Was. There were legal restrictions on the rights of blacks compared to whites, apartheid, segregation, lynchings, the Ku Klux Klan, “Whites Only” signs on benches and at the entrance to restaurants. Everything was. But in today's world this is practically not the case. Moreover, the denial of this white racism is most consistent in countries where it was strongest and lasted the longest.

In Paris, I saw with my own eyes a restaurant called “The Cheerful Negro’s.” In the USA, such a name is absolutely impossible - to the same extent that a restaurant with the name “At the Merry Zhidka” or “At the Merry Armenian” is impossible in Russia. But in France there was practically no racism, which is why such a name is quite possible.

In 1973, the UN General Assembly officially called the apartheid regime in South Africa “criminal” and adopted international convention"On suppressing the crime of apartheid and punishing it."

The world press moaned so loudly about racism in South Africa that this unfortunate country became a gloomy symbol - worse than the Third Reich.

At the same time, facts that were very inconvenient for “fighters against discrimination” were carefully hidden from the general public. Under apartheid in South Africa, each year colleges graduated a gigantic number of black students, by African standards: three times more than all the black students of all African countries combined. In South Africa, every black person was required to complete primary school.

South Africa's largest black hospital - the largest hospital in Africa - performed more than 1,800 complex surgeries every year.

Not a word was ever said that one of the most acute problems of South Africa was the illegal immigration of blacks from other African states: blacks fled in droves to racist South Africa from happy independent countries.

What about manifestations of black racism? In South Africa and Zimbabwe there are many manifestations of this racism, including rape and murder of whites. White farmers were and are being killed precisely on racial grounds - as whites. The official “black” authorities in these countries do not promote racism, but they also do nothing to protect whites. Much like in the United States in the Southern states, the authorities turned a blind eye to everyday racism and even to the activities of lynchings.

An attempt at a “white” protest meeting is simply stopped: the police open fire to kill. It does not disperse the meeting, but exterminates it. And the “progressive international community” is not sounding the alarm.

Moreover... In Angola in the 1960-1970s, black racism became the official ideology of various rebel movements. In 1961, the leader of the Union of Peoples of Angola, Holden Roberto, gave his fighters the following order: “Kill everyone who is white.” Mulattoes were also killed as “traitors” and “fake” blacks. The pogroms took place under slogans in the style of “Beat the mulattoes and whites, save Angola!”

Maybe it was the blacks who were taking revenge for the centuries of humiliation of colonialism?

But in the same way in Africa they slaughtered and slaughtered each other. Let's say, the Hausa people in Nigeria slaughtered the Ibo people - they slaughtered them so famously that in a few weeks they exterminated up to a million people.

In the same way, the Hutus slaughtered the Tutsis - with the same success, they killed up to a million people.

In general, exactly the same thing happens in Africa as in Europe: everyone always considers themselves better than others. During tribal division, when they don’t really know about the existence of different races, they slaughter according to the tribal principle. With some, even weak, education, this xenophobia takes the form of racism: “We are better because our race is more correct!”

However, there is also a black racial theory, no worse than Chamberlain’s.
