| − | The '''Fourteen Words''', (abbreviated as 14, or 1488), is a reference to two 14-word slogans, one being "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children", and the other being "Because the beauty of the White [[Aryan]] woman must not perish from the earth". The terms were coined by prolific [[white supremacist]] David Lane as he was serving his 190-year prison sentence for racketeering, conspiracy, and violation of civil rights, in connection to the murder of [[Jewish]] [[radio]] host Alan Berg. They are commonly used by [[Neo-Nazis]], the [[Ku Klux Klan]], and other hate groups. "88" is a reference to the 8th letter of the alphabet twice, "HH", or "Heil [[Hitler]]". | + | The '''Fourteen Words''', (abbreviated as 14, or 1488), is a reference to two 14-word slogans, one being "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children", and the other being "Because the beauty of the White [[Aryan]] woman must not perish from the earth".
