Political career
[edit]Commandership of the American Nazi Party
[edit]Kerr, a longtime member of the New Order, assumed office in 2014 after the death of Matthias Koehl, the previous commander of the New Order for 25 years.[2]
White supremacy
[edit]Kerr claims that the New Order of the American Nazi Party is no longer a white supremacist group and focuses on advocating "in favor of [white] people, not against other races or ethnicities ...we consider the white people of the world to be a gigantic family of racial brothers and sisters, united by ties of common ancestry and common heritage. Being for our own family does not mean that we hate other families." The Southern Poverty Law Center, however, still classifies the group as neo-Nazis and as a hate group.[3][4][5]
