Kinists are a group that believe that the God-ordained social order for mankind is "tribal and ethnic" and focus on "loving one's own kind". They advocate the idea that extended families should live together in large groups. It is an offshoot of Christian Reconstructionism that originated among anti-immigration traditionalists in the Southern United States. Some Kinists have called for the adoption of laws against miscegenation, and some support the expulsion of all non-white immigrants from the United States.
Criticism
The Southern Poverty Law Center has described kinism as "a new strain of racial separatism that wants America broken up into racial mini-states." Douglas Wilson suggests that it is a "white pride movement" that goes beyond gratitude for one's culture to "racial animosity" and "mocking and making fun of blacks for the race."
