Guess they think I must be a Klansman too (even though the ONLY white
outfit in my closet is my late wife's dress which I can't bear to give
away as it's the outfit she wore at our son's wedding 5 years ago...)

You might want to check that SPLC "hatewatch list" for yourself. E.g., afaics, it makes no mention of "pro-life" or "abortion". And its
'Christian Identity' category comprises:

"a wide variety of loosely affiliated believers and churches with a
white supremacist and antisemitic theology that claims that White people
are the true descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel."

(So, not actually all that Christ-like...)

Given I'm a Canadian I would be both astonished and outraged that SPLC
put me on their list :)

(Frankly I'd be outraged if SPLC put ANY non-US person or group on
their list)
