"Aryan Nations founder dies at 86
Thursday, September 9, 2004 Posted: 11:16 AM EDT (1516 GMT)

(CNN) -- Richard Girnt Butler, the white supremacist who founded the racist Aryan Nations organization, has died at 86.

The announcement was made on the group's Web site and also reported in a Wednesday news release by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights group that monitors racist organizations and challenged the Aryan Nations in court.

The neo-Nazi died at his home in northern Idaho, where the group had been based before it lost its compound four years ago as a result of lawsuit filed by the law center.

Butler, also the founder of an entity called Church of Jesus Christ Christian, had long suffered from congestive heart failure and reportedly died peacefully in his sleep, the law center said.

The 20-acre "whites only" compound was the meeting place of annual Aryan Nations congresses, the center said.

"For more than three decades, Butler preached his anti-Semitic and racist ideas from his Aryan Nations compound based near Hayden Lake, Idaho," the center said in a statement.

"Members or former members of his group were convicted of numerous violent crimes across the country -- from assassination to armed robberies, bombings, counterfeits and racial assaults."

The group said Butler had been "indicted for seditious conspiracy" in 1987, but "prosecutors failed to convince an Arkansas jury that Butler and several other prominent racists had conspired to start a race war."

The Aryan Nations headquarters is now in Pennsylvania."

You've actually met people like that? Other than a few ignorant sputterings from my grandparents and elementary school classmates, I have been lucky enough to not encounter such overt racists.

No, they're out there. I have had the *pleasure* myself. The funniest of which was the Aryan Nation member who hated all minorities except my girlfriend -- a Thai lass who caught his eye. *That* was illuminating.

Not personally, although a couple of my brothers are rather racist, all I can really do is shake my head when they start talking about stuff, they won't change anytime soon, and I can't persuade them to open their minds a bit (they practically disowned my sister for dating a mexican, at least until she broke up with him for unrelated reasons, ie he was into drugs and beat her)

And yet their biggest problem with him was ethnicity? Heh.

There's a great work written by a medical anthropologist on the absurdity of racial categories (not to mention overt racism...) called The Culture of Intolerance. It's a response to "The Bell Curve" that claims lower test performance among various groups in fact means that they're mentally inferior as a race. The disturbing thing is that "The Bell Curve" was released in like 1994. However, the very title will make them resent it and you if you gave it to them as a gift lol.

I don't think The Bell Curve had much populair support to begin with. It was highly controversial from the second it was released.

Peacfully, Huh? That's too bad.

Lucern · 09-10-2004, 11:32 PM

I don't think it had much support either, at least not many who would admit it. However, groups like this show us that we're not quite out of the muck yet.
