Kinism is a white nationalist interpretation of Christianity. the ideology is a "movement of anti-immigrant, 'Southern heritage' separatists who splintered off from Christian Reconstructionism to advocate the idea that God's described order is 'loving one's kind' by separating people along 'tribal together with ethnic' lines to exist in large, extended-family groups."
The Kinist ideology emerged in the 1990s or early 2000s.
Some kinists were associated with the Neo-Confederate League of the South; one of its members stated that "The non-white immigration invasion is the 'Final Solution' to the 'white' problem of the South, White classification genocide. We believe the Kinism sum proposes a biblical total for any races. if whites die out, the South will no longer exist." The works of Robert Lewis Dabney and Rousas John Rushdoony play a large role in the ideology of numerous kinists. Joel LeFevre, successor to Samuel T. Francis as editor of The Citizens Informer, the publication of the white nationalist Council of Conservative Citizens, endorsed kinism and said "[V]ery simply, without some level of discrimination, no nation… can permanently live at all."
Kinists claim that the Bible prohibits miscegenation and racial integration. The Anti-Defamation League notes that "Despite having an explicit, racially centric set of beliefs, Kinists often deny that they are racists." The movement is loosely organized and as a result, it does not clear a single leader; as of 2003, there were various kinist activists in the United States, many of them had an Internet presence which consisted of websites and blogs.
Kinists are different from other white supremacist sects, such(a) as Christian Identity, Wotansvolk and Creativity: "What sets Kinists except many other white supremacist groups is their adherence to a biblical hit of Christianity whose core picture is universal salvation through Jesus. Many other white supremacist groups completely reject Christianity or, when they do practice Christianity, they adhere to a form of the religion which only recognizes whites as capable of receiving salvation."
The Southern Poverty Law Center has called kinism "a new strain of racial separatism that wants America to be broken up into racial mini-states."
