Manson was a [[racist]] who hated black people and tattooed a [[swastika]] onto his forehead, a 1981 modification of an X originally carved into the same spot (which he also instructed his followers to do to themselves) during his and his Family's trial in 1970.<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1205141/The-Devils-disciples-40-years-killing-sprees-Charles-Manson-grotesque-celebrity-Twitter-page.html</ref> He was a [[Satanism|Satanist]] and said that he was [[Jesus Christ]] and [[Satan]] in one person and the Reincarnation of [[Aleister Crowley]].
