The group, which has tracked hate group activity in the United States since 1981, stated:
And there you have it.
"The White Lives Matter website says their movement is dedicated to the preservation of the white race. That tells you all you need to know, said Heidi Beirich, the director of the Intelligence Project at the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Ala. Theyre against integration, immigration. This is standard white supremacist stuff.
The group, which grew out of a social media meme, argues that white Americans are victims of a genocide caused by factors like the immigration of nonwhite people and marriage between white Christians and nonwhites or Jews, Ms. Beirich said. [...]
We do not live by the code of the nonwhites, [Rebecca Barnette] wrote in one post calling for her followers to take action against the federal government, Jews and African-Americans. Our forefathers built the nation that is being allowed to be destroyed. Later she added, I wish Hitler were here alive and well today.
And there you have it.

I'm constantly amazed as more "Fill in the Blank" lives matter groups try to co-opt the Black Lives Matter movement that there is such little introspection as to why the Black Lives Matter movement began. I swear we've become a nation of teenagers who can't see past our own noses.
