The [[Christian Identity]] movement (also known as Identity Christianity) has roots in a reinterpreted Anglo-Israelism doctrine which excludes the [[Judaism|Jews]] and all of the darker-skinned races. It is a [[Racial Supremacy|racist]] and [[White supremacy|white supremacist]] [[Protestantism|Protestant]] interpretation of [[Christianity]] which holds that only Germanic, Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, Nordic, Aryan people and those of kindred blood are the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and hence the descendants of the ancient Israelites (whose emigration and dispersal abroad was primarily a result of the Assyrian captivity) and the divinely appointed and chosen heirs of the promises of God to Israel. Their roots are deeply embedded in movements such as the [[Ku Klux Klan]] and the [[National Socialism|Nazis]]. They consider themselves the true Israel and view the Jews as half-devils and arch enemies. They believe all but the white race are inferior creations.
