He states "my race is my religion",[3] and advocates "racial holy war" in accordance with the tenets of the Creativity religion.[4] Cobb has received attention from anti-racist and anti-fascist organizations, and legal advocacy organizations which investigate hate speech and hate crimes, for his "celebration of violence and murder committed against minorities",[5][better source needed] as documented in his video recordings, online activities, and disruptions of public events.[6][better source needed]
Cobb is known for his attempt to take over the city of Leith, North Dakota, with other white supremacists. The community has around 33 inhabitants. Cobb, who moved to Leith in 2012, encouraged other white supremacists to move to the town, and he displayed white nationalist paraphernalia on his properties. In Leith, Local residents and anti-racist organizations organized a protest against Cobb and his allies.
