White Supremacy Groups in America
CEP Resources Explore How These Extremist Groups Recruit, Market, & Fund
Themselves, Particularly Online
(New York, N.Y.) – The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) maintains resources
documenting white supremacist groups—their history and known
activities—currently operating in the United States. These groups continue to
propogate hatred, bigotry, and violence against racial and ethnic minorities
and spread anti-government propaganda in an effort to advance their radical
agendas.
CEP’s reports provide an overview of the history, propaganda, violent
activities, and notable rhetoric of the most active and virulent white
supremacist groups in the country, as well as several prominent white
supremacist media outlets.

The ideologies of Neo-Nazi groups, such as the National Socialist Movement
(NSM), The Base, Hammerskin Nation, and Atomwaffen Division usually include
anti-Semitic and homophobic components that align with Nazi dogma. In contrast,
groups such as the League of the South and American Identity Movement propagate
their radical stances under the guise of white ethno-nationalism, which seeks
to highlight the distinctiveness––rather than the superiority––of the white
identity. Furthermore, white ethno-nationalist groups claim that the white
identity is under threat from minorities or immigrants that seek to replace
their culture.
In recent years, social media and the Internet have provided new outlets for
white supremacists to spread their messages and recruit supporters, primarily
among younger demographics. American Identity Movement, Atomwaffen Division,
and Vanguard America have spread their propaganda on college campuses, too, and
the NSM and League of the South have created youth wings and student
memberships.
CEP has identified nine especially virulent U.S. white supremacist groups:
* American Renaissance
<[link removed]>, a right-wing
magazine-turned-blog dedicated to discussing the “problems of race.”
* Atomwaffen Division
<[link removed]>, an allegedly
disbanded neo-Nazi organization that sought the creation of a National
Socialist government through a violent “white revolution,” and believed that a
race war was inevitable to achieve “total Aryan victory.”
* Hammerskin Nation
<[link removed]>,
one of the largest, most organized, and most violent neo-Nazi skinhead gangs in
the U.S. that encourages members to enlist in military forces, such as the U.S.
Army, in order to train for a pending race war.
* Identity Evropa/American Identity Movement
<[link removed]>
, a group that promotes white European identity and the preservation of white
culture based on the concept of “identitarian politics.”
* League of the South
<[link removed]>, a self-proclaimed
“neo-Confederate” group that seeks a second Southern secession and a society
dominated by “European Americans.”
* National Socialist Movement (NSM)
<[link removed]>, a
prominent neo-Nazi group that has directed extremist, incendiary rhetoric
toward Jews and other minorities while supporting violence in pursuit of its
political goal of “the union of all Whites into a greater America on the basis
of the right of national self-determination.”
* The Base <[link removed]>, a
white-supremacist network active in North America, Europe, South Africa, and
Australia that describes itself as an “international survivalist and
self-defense network” that seeks to train their members for fighting a race war.
* Traditional Worker Party/Traditional Youth Network
<[link removed]>
, a now-defunct group guided by the Fourteen Words mantra that fought for the
interests of white Americans, who it says have been “abandoned by the System
and actively attacked by globalists and traitorous politicians.”
* Vanguard America/Patriot Front
<[link removed]>, a
white nationalist, neo-Nazi group that opposes the idea of a multicultural
America and has propagated an extremist, incendiary platform targeting African
Americans, immigrants, Jews, and other minorities.
