“The Mexican birthrate in this country is five times that of white people. The black birthrate is four times larger. America will become a Third World nation if these trends continue. Unless we slow down and cut off immigration by beefing up border control and encourage welfare recipients to have fewer kids, the white population in America will be swamped.”“Knights of the Ku Klux Klan,” Southern Poverty Law Center, accessed November 13, 2015, https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/knights-ku-klux-klan.

“You can’t raise the nigger race of people that aren’t equal to white. Whether it’s in schooling, whether it’s in housing, in the community, or in society or what it is. You can only do one thing as the situation has proven itself in the Washington D.C. school system. You can only bring the white race down, and by continually bringing the white race down you’re bringing them down to a level with the nigger race of people. You don’t bring the nigger up to the level of the white. You’re bringing the white and driving the white down on to a level of that of the nigger. And that’s the entire program of desegregation that’s transpiring and taking place.”  “An interview with Robert Shelton,” by Marcia Tompkins, WBAI, November 16, 1970, http://crooksandliars.com/gordonskene/all-hate-all-time-conversation-robert.

“I sure will believe in segregation for the simple reason we believe in preserving and protecting God’s word. He created the white man. He intended for him to stay white. He created the nigger. He intended for him to stay black. And we believe that Mongolization destroys both races and creates a Mongol which is not a race.”Eldon Edwards, “The Mike Wallace Interview,” May 5, 1957, http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/multimedia/video/2008/wallace/edwards_eldon_t.html.

“So, what’s changed? Well, since the extremist Barack Obama became president, one dramatic difference is that many more traditional Americans can see that they are no longer in charge. The present administration doesn’t represent our interests or the interests of OUR people.”“Please Donate to the CofCC,” Council of Conservative Citizens, accessed July 7, 2015, http://conservative-headlines.com/why-you-should-donate/.
