It is Ironic that most White Supremacist claim to be Christian

Because you say it, doesn't make it true. Document and cite sources for your use of the word "most", otherwise it means nothing.

The Christian Identity movement, which is regarded by other branches of Christianity as heretical, is closely tied to white supremacy. The Ku Klux Klan’s reasons for supporting racial segregation are not primarily based on religious ideals, although some Klan groups are openly Christian Protestant because of their northern European/Germanic roots. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_supremacist

Wallace sought the United States presidency in 1968 as a candidate of the American Independent Party, running on antidesegregation issues, respect for law and order, and freedom from excessive federal control. ...The same year Mitt Romney’s Dad was supporting Martin Luther King.

Remember this famous Baptist ? A Former Governor of Georgia, Lester Maddox

April of 1964, more African-Americans attempted to enter the restaurant. Maddox confronted the group, brandishing a handgun. Maddox provides the following account of the events:

Mostly customers, with only a few employees, voluntarily removed the twelve Pickrick Drumsticks (pick handles) from the nail kegs on each side of the large dining room fireplace. They had been forewarned by the arrival of Atlanta's news media of an impending attempted invasion of our restaurant by the racial demonstrators and once the demonstrators and agitators arrived, the customers and employees pulled the drumsticks from the kegs and went outside to defend against the threatened invasion.

Unable to win his case, he became a martyr to states-rights advocates by selling the restaurant to employees rather than bowing to government coercion to serve black customers.
