Since then, the Texas-based neo-Nazi group Aryan Renaissance Society (ARS), a聽member of the white nationalist coalition United Aryan Front, has attempted to capitalize on this momentum by promoting WLM as 鈥渁 movement dedicated to [the] promotion of the white race,鈥� according to ARS documents.

While its unclear if WLM is a group attempting to create this alleged movement, claiming to have 鈥渞epresentatives in various states鈥� or a pet project of ARS, members of ARS encourages sympathetic whites who want to spread the WLM message to contact ARS members.

Tennessean Rebecca Barnette, a member of ARS, ran one of the WLM Facebook pages (until it was shut down). ARS member Scott Lacy appears to manage the White Lives Matter Texas and Oklahoma Community Facebook page, posting family photos on the Facebook profile. To top it off, ARS also claims to be 鈥渢he leading force behind the WLM Movement.鈥�

But the 鈥渨hite lives matter鈥� message is not as simple as it seems. Much like the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC), which inspired Dylann Roof to kill nine people last year in Charleston, S.C., ARS also promotes the false black-on-white crime narrative. 聽

The flyers promoting WLM also includes the ARS logo, a lightening bolt and runic symbol drawn over a phoenix 鈥撯�� a Greek mythological bird that arises from a tragic death, representing, according to ARS, the 鈥淪trength, Defiance, Perseverance and Nobility鈥� of the 鈥淎ryan Spirit.鈥�

ARS members in southeast Texas have so far taped flyers on bathroom walls, light posts and bus stops that read, 鈥淚t鈥檚 Not Racist to Love your People,鈥� including the hashtag #whitelivesmatter. But ARS has gone farther than simply handing out flyers to promote its message. The group organizes social gatherings to build a sense of camaraderie among supporters, and plans to organize a campout around Houston, Texas, next month.

Divine Truth Ministries (DTM), an anti-Semitic religious sect, also is planning a White Lives Matter rally coinciding with Adolf Hitler鈥檚 birthday in April to 鈥減romote the idea that Whites have a right to live, and without fear; and to secure the existence of our people, and a future for white children鈥� 鈥撯�� a not too subtle nod to David Lane鈥檚 infamous 鈥�14 Words.鈥�

Describing itself as a 鈥渘etwork of dedicated White Separatists diligently striving to impart a New Racial Consciousness to Aryankind,鈥� ARS has plans to create an 鈥淎ryan oligarchy based on genetic aristocracy鈥� to 鈥渆nhance the [white] Race.鈥�

This ethnic state 鈥撯�撀燼 pipe dream held by most white nationalists 鈥撯�撀爓ill be carved out within the United States. 鈥淎reas have already been earmarked in anticipation of this eventuality, such as the American Northwest and Western Canada,鈥� ARS claims in its Ten Point Position Statement.

To ARS, an 鈥渁utonomous Aryan Society鈥� will keep whites safe from racial genocide and 鈥渢he ongoing鈥� bastardization of the white race, racial integration鈥�[and] inter-breeding.鈥�

Presenting itself as a family-friendly environment, ARS encourages members (and those supportive of the WLM message) to bring their wives, girlfriends and kids to social gatherings and campouts, hoping to build 鈥渁 renewed racial consciousness.鈥� 聽聽

One photo from an ARS party showed Ron Price and his son giving the Nazi salute. Others include Nazi flags draped in the background. In photos from one event in August 2015, ARS members held WLM signs alongside a procession of cars driving to a public memorial service for the Harris County Deputy Darren H. Goforth, who was shot and killed in Cypress, Texas.

Barnette, the Tennessee member of ARS, unsuccessfully organized a 鈥渟ocial media鈥� protest in August 2015 against a BLM rally in the Johnson City, Tenn. Responding to the BLM demonstration, she said, 鈥�(We) have a small army ready to blow their little party out of the water 鈥� in the proper way,鈥� according to a Johnson City Press news .

Besides Barnette鈥檚 membership in ARS, she also describes herself as a 鈥渞evolutionist鈥� wanting to 鈥渃reate a new world for [white people].鈥� Barnette has also written 鈥淏olts to the Sky,鈥� on her Facebook wall, a slogan predominately used by the violent Tennessee racist prison gang Aryan Nations.

From ARS member Doug Chism, who has a large 鈥淲hite Lives Matter鈥� sign posted outside of his house, to Barnett who calls herself 鈥渁 soldier鈥�warrior [and] fighter鈥︹�� for the white race, ARS claims it is 鈥渃ommitted to whatever is necessary鈥� to 鈥渞eturn鈥�[a] sense of pride鈥� to 鈥渢he Aryan race.鈥�

Editor鈥檚 Note: The 澳彩开奖 (澳彩开奖) confirmed in mid-August 2016 that it is adding White Lives Matter to its 2017 hate group map and list.听White Lives Matter is a white supremacist group founded by people with long histories in racist movements, as the story above explains. The group, which is dedicated to 鈥渢he promotion of the white race,鈥� claims to have representatives in several states, which the 澳彩开奖 is currently investigating. A full list of White Lives Matter chapters will be released in February 2017 along with all hate groups for that calendar year.
