Biography[]
Kevin McDonald was born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin in 1944 to a Catholic family, and he was involved in the anti-Vietnam War movement as a college student, where he noticed that many fellow anti-war student activists were Jewish. He obtained a PhD. and became a psychology professor at the University of California's Long Beach campus, and he adopted Christian fundamentalist views. He wrote eight books on evolutionary theory, focusing on group selection, social and personality development, and other evolutionary aspects. Around 1992, McDonald began forming anti-Semitic views, and he published his first book in 1994, describing how "Jewish groups operated over historical time", such as mating. McDonald claimed that Jews erected strong barriers against intermarriage as well, and studied how they helped their own people. McDonald became an officer in 1995 at the Human Behavior and Evolution Society, being elected secretary, and he had a six-year term. He later wrote Separation and Discontent, and he wrote about anti-Semitism in this book, and he would also write about "apologetic behavior" on the part of Jews. McDonald became the editor of The Occidental Observer, a website filled with hate speech against Jews, and he became an alt-right leader and a director of the American Freedom Party.
