After the accelerated
growth of the Black Lives Matter movement, many racists across America
have gone on a barnstorming campaign, posting the catch phrase White
Lives Matter (WLM), to counter a message they believe is playing a part
in a systematic devaluing of white culture –– even orchestrating what
they call a “white genocide."
Since then, the Texas-based neo-Nazi group Aryan Renaissance Society (ARS), a member of the white nationalist coalition United Aryan Front,
has attempted to capitalize on this momentum by promoting WLM as “a
movement dedicated to [the] promotion of the white race,” according to
ARS documents.
While its unclear if WLM is a group attempting to create this alleged
movement, claiming to have “representatives in various states” 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 “the leading force behind the WLM Movement.”
