Kim McGuire 255 Author Information .............................................. 275 Introductory Notes on Engaging with Communities for Justice Kem Gambrell Gonzaga University Lazarina Topuzova Robert Morris University Since the 2016 U.S. Presidential election, the rise in hate around the country has increased dramatically. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), in the days immediately following the election of President Trump, a wave of hate crimes and lesser hate incidents swept the country- 1,094 bias incidents in the first 34 days (Potok, 2017). More than a third of these incidents directly referenced Trump, his “Make America Great Again” slogan, or his infamous misogynistic, racist, xenophobic or other demeaning remarks. New and energetic hate and white supremacy groups have appeared that are almost entirely focused on Trump and seemingly live off his elec- tion and continued defamatory rhetoric. Some of these more recent groups have included: Identity Evropa, (newly re-branded as the American Identity Movement (AIM) whose membership includes Washington’s own James Allsup); The Right Stuff, an alt-right group based in New York; and Van- guard American, a group that has grown out of the previous existence of American Vanguard, following a split between its members (Hatewatch, 2017). In addition to the rise in hate groups, the use of social media for recruitment and publication of white supremacy dogma has also been uti- lized. For instance, The Daily Stormer, the website whose chief came up with the term “Our Glorious Leader” for Trump, expanded into real-world activism by starting 31 “clubs” (Potoc, 2017). According to the SPLC in July 2017, The Daily Stormer became the most visited hate site on the Internet, surpassing longtime hate leader Stormfront (Hankes, 2017). Other forms of social media have also sky-rocketed in use, perhaps directly related to Trump’s habit of exploiting Twitter for his own agenda. Koerner (2019) reaffirms this with her article in response to President Trump’s July 14, 2019 tweet, “Trump’s Racism Hit a New Level as He Told Four Congresswomen to ‘Go Back’ to Their ‘Broken’ Countries.” Even though three of the four congress women were born in the U.S., and all four are American citizens, Trump’s rhetoric continues to create division and hostility around the nation. As an example of the confrontation, Speaker Nancy Pelosi responded, “When @realDonaldTrump tells four 1 2 JOURNAL OF HATE STUDIES Vol. 15:1 American Congresswomen to go back to their countries, he reaffirms his plan to ‘Make America Great Again’ has always been about making America white again” while a Trump supporter wrote, “I LOVE how Trump can trigger all the liberals with one tweet and send Democrats into a tizzy, while he gets important things done behind their backs. Trump is BRILLIANT” (Koerner, 2019, para. 21-22). While the numbers of hate groups operating in the country remained at near-historic highs, the election of Donald Trump, and related develop- ments in Europe and elsewhere around the globe, represent the culmination of a series of long-developing trends. As the world has become more inter- connected, the increasingly globalized economy, global warming, and resource challenges have fomented massive migrant flows and severe shocks to the industrial sectors of most developed countries. These chal- lenges are becoming more and more complicated as resource scarcity and perception of otherness, and as a result hatred, intensify. In the past few years, not only has the SPLC been intensively monitor- ing hate groups across the U.S., but it has also been scrutinizing the Internet and the increasingly important role it plays in recruitment and dissemina- tion of propaganda for hate groups (Potok, 2000). As Potok (2000) reflects, “We have seen how this technology has been adopted wholesale by such groups, and the remarkable and unprecedented access this has afforded these groups to teenagers and other potential recruits, both in the United States and in Europe” (para. 4). Although American extremists previously experimented with crude computer

  • Chapter 4 the Right-Wing Media Enablers of Anti-Islam Propaganda
    Chapter 4 The right-wing media enablers of anti-Islam propaganda Spreading anti-Muslim hate in America depends on a well-developed right-wing media echo chamber to amplify a few marginal voices. The think tank misinforma- tion experts and grassroots and religious-right organizations profiled in this report boast a symbiotic relationship with a loosely aligned, ideologically-akin group of right-wing blogs, magazines, radio stations, newspapers, and television news shows to spread their anti-Islam messages and myths. The media outlets, in turn, give members of this network the exposure needed to amplify their message, reach larger audiences, drive fundraising numbers, and grow their membership base. Some well-established conservative media outlets are a key part of this echo cham- ber, mixing coverage of alarmist threats posed by the mere existence of Muslims in America with other news stories. Chief among the media partners are the Fox News empire,1 the influential conservative magazine National Review and its website,2 a host of right-wing radio hosts, The Washington Times newspaper and website,3 and the Christian Broadcasting Network and website.4 They tout Frank Gaffney, David Yerushalmi, Daniel Pipes, Robert Spencer, Steven Emerson, and others as experts, and invite supposedly moderate Muslim and Arabs to endorse bigoted views. In so doing, these media organizations amplify harm- ful, anti-Muslim views to wide audiences. (See box on page 86) In this chapter we profile some of the right-wing media enablers, beginning with the websites, then hate radio, then the television outlets. The websites A network of right-wing websites and blogs are frequently the primary movers of anti-Muslim messages and myths.

  • Pioneer's Big Lie
    COMMENTARIES PIONEER'S BIG LIE Paul A. Lombardo* In this they proceeded on the sound principle that the magnitude of a lie always contains a certain factor of credibility, since the great masses of the people in the very bottom of their hearts tend to be corrupted rather than consciously and purposely evil, and that, therefore, in view of the primitive simplicity of their minds, they more easily fall a victim to a big lie than to a little one, since they themselves lie in little things, but would be ashamed of lies that were too big. Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf' In the spring of 2002, I published an article entitled "The American Breed" Nazi Eugenics and the Origins of the Pioneer Fund as part of a symposium edition of the Albany Law Review.2 My objective was to present "a detailed analysis of the.., origins of the Pioneer Fund"3 and to show the connections between Nazi eugenics and one branch of the American eugenics movement that I described as purveying "a malevolent brand of biological determinism."4 I collected published evidence on the Pioneer Fund's history and supplemented it with material from several archival collections-focusing particularly on letters and other documents that explained the relationship between Pioneer's first President, 'Paul A.

  • Aryan Nations/Church of Jesus Christ Christian
    Aryan Nations/Church of Jesus Christ Christian This document is an archived copy of an older ADL report and may not reflect the most current facts or developments related to its subject matter. INTRODUCTION Recent years have not been kind to Aryan Nations, once the country's most well-known neo-Nazi outpost. Bankrupted by a lawsuit from a mother and son who were assaulted by Aryan Nations guards, the group lost its Idaho compound in 2001. Though he continued to serve as Aryan Nations’ leader, Richard Butler suffered the effects of age and ill health, and the group splintered into factions in 2002. Butler claimed to be reorganizing Aryan Nations but died in September 2004, leaving the group’s future as uncertain as ever. Founder and Leader: Richard Butler (1918-2004) Splinter groups (and leaders): Tabernacle of Phineas Priesthood ( Charles Juba, based in Pennsylvania); Church of the Sons of Yahweh (Morris Gullett, based in Louisiana) Founded: Mid-1970s Headquarters : Hayden, Idaho Background: Butler first became involved with the Christian Identity movement after serving in the U.S. Air Force during World War II. He studied under Wesley Swift, founder of the Church of Jesus Christ Christian, until Swift died. Butler then formed Aryan Nations. Media: Internet, videos, posters, e-mail, chat rooms, online bulletin boards, conferences. Ideology: Christian Identity, white supremacy, neo-Nazi, paramilitary Connections: Aryan Nations has had members in common with several other white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups, including National Alliance, the Ku Klux Klan and The Silent Brotherhood/The Order Recent Developments: Once the most well-known neo-Nazi group in the United States, Aryan Nations has suffered substantially in recent years due to Butler’s ill health, and a lawsuit that cost the group its Northern Idaho compound in 2001.

  • Awakening David Duke
    • ; •• ••; .-• • AWAKENING DAVID DUKE ISBN #1-892796-00-7 $ 29.95 My Awakening is more than just a fasci- nating autobiography of a very controver- sial man. It is an incredibly honest book that dares to confront the most challenging is- sues of modern times. David Duke's book is not for the faint of heart or for those smug in their belief sys- tems. It is for those unafraid to be stimulated by facts and ideas that may well question established beliefs. It is a revolutionary and evolutionary book that Glayde Whitney (a prominent behaviorial geneticist) says may well "rattle civilization to its core." David Duke, devotes most of the book to his views on race and its implications for so- ciety and evolution, but it is also an exciting and revealing story of a man known only as a caricature painted by a hostile media. In advancing his powerful thesis, he of- fers copious research and amazing quotes from men both in historical and contempo- rary times. He offers over a thousand refer- ences and an extensive index for the re- searcher. Love him or hate him, you will be affected by his candid, totally open, hell-for-leather gallop across the politically corrected land- scape of our times. After reading My Awakening, you may never be the same again. "...more than just a book. It is a pains- takingly documented, academically excel- lent work of socio-biological-political his- tory that has the potential to raise tremen- dous controversy and change the very course of history." — Professor Glayde Whitney, a leading re- searcher in the field of behavioral genetics, from his Foreword in My Awakening.

  • GLAYDE WHITNEY—A CITIZEN-SCIENTIST Race
    GLAYDE WHITNEY—A CITIZEN-SCIENTIST Race, Genetics & Society: Glayde Whitney on the Scientific and Social Policy Implications of Racial Differences Edited with foreword by Kevin Lamb Washington, DC: Scott-Townsend Publishers, 2002 $22.00 pb. 181 pp. Reviewed by Brent Nelson he editor of this collection has appended to it a bibliography of the publica- tions of the late Glayde Whitney, which occupies almost thirteen closely Tprinted pages. Ninety percent of the entries cite articles in peer-reviewed journals, such as Behavior Genetics, Journal of Comparative & Physiological Psychol- ogy, and Physiology and Behavior. Glayde Whitney, professor of psychology at Florida State University and president of the Behavior Genetics Association, was a scientist who approached psychology from its biological grounding. He was also a dedicated activist. He not only contributed to American Renaissance but honored The Occidental Quarterly and the Citizens Informer by becoming a member of their editorial advisory boards. Just as he had begun to take part in the activities of the Council of Conservative Citizens and to con- tribute almost regularly to its publication Citizens Informer, Dr. Whitney died at the age of 62 from an attack of the asthma from which he had long suffered. His death was a great loss. He was a brilliant man and, more importantly, an exemplar of honor and loyalty. This collection culls from Dr. Whitney’s work articles that he published in the later years of his life, a period when he undertook the great task of serving as an interpreter of science to the educated citizenry. He came to this task after decades of distinguished achievement as a research scientist who realized that psychology can only be founded on biological and chemical science, not ideol- ogy.
