Last May, a "pastor" named Jonathan Williams posted a comment on John Sugg's blog (www.johnsugg.com). Sugg had made the point that race violence is still a factor in the South.
"Pastor" Williams responded: [I]ntelligent folks know that everyone must stay in their own place with their own Race!_ … Just understand that their [sic] would be NO Racial violence if non-whites would quit agitating and go to their … places of origin. The White Race is much too civilized for these creatures to adapt."
Sugg inquired exactly what church Williams pastored. Williams responded that his flock was the Church of Jesus Christ Christian/Aryan Nations. Sugg told Williams he thought Aryan Nations was based in Idaho. Williams said that was the former address, but the neo-Nazi group was now headquartered in Alabama, about 100 miles west of Atlanta on Interstate 20.
Williams invited Sugg to attend Aryan Nations' annual congress in September. Sugg couldn't resist the opportunity.
The only condition placed on Sugg was that he honor individual requests not to use the last names of those attending the congress.
