Showing Its True Colors on the Web
The CCC's Web site features numerous articles and essays that expose its racist, anti-minority stance. It also contains pieces labeling Martin Luther King Jr. a Communist, lamenting the South's loss in the Civil War, and defending the use of the Confederate flag. In addition, the Web site is linked to a number of racist and anti-Semitic sites, including the National Front, an ultranationalist party in France. Gordon Baum has claimed that the racist beliefs contained on the CCC Web site are not necessarily the views of the CCC. Some examples of material on the CCC site include:
- A commentary by H. Millard that asserts, "There appears to be a growth of a form of racial bigotry in the world today that is hardly noticed because its victims are white. This bigotry is anti-whitism. It is going largely unnoticed by many whites who some will argue have become so race whipped and aracial after 30 plus years of unending anti-white propaganda from the liberal elites that they don't even think of themselves as a race or as a people."
-
An essay, "A Call to White Americans," in which the author writes, "Today's white American faces a frightening and uncertain future.... If we want to live, white Americans must begin today to lay the foundations for our future and our children's future.... Start today, fellow white Americans. Look at the faces around you: find the faces like yours, and see them as your brothers and sisters. Find the fair-skinned babies and see them as your children...."

A December 1998 piece on the Web site boasting that the group's leadership had met with Jean-Marie Le Pen, the leader of the National Front. Leaders of the CCC reportedly presented Le Pen with a Confederate flag.
Beyond these racist pieces on the Web, the CCC has used more subtle code words that demonstrate its true colors. A good example of this is the Georgia chapter's organizational plan posted on the Web site. The new head of the Georgia chapter, Dennis Wheeler, also known as the "WASP Warrior," wrote that the purpose of the CCC is "to conserve the traditional heritage, culture, and way of life that Euro-Americans have practiced since the inception of the country." In addition, he explained that the purpose of the Culture and Personal Development Committee of the Georgia CCC is to "promote high European Christian culture among our people." Wheeler concludes, "the fate of our people lies in balance." With these words, Wheeler has essentially adopted the program of most white supremacist groups in the United States.
