Need some help with Acronyms.

So.. someone I dont much care for posted a bunch of stuff using some acronyms. Ive figured some of them out. For instance "SWP" stands for Supreme white power".

But I cant seem to figure some of them out, no matter how I Google it. For instance "RAWP" or "SCOA". Part of me wants to stop, but its a public venue and I want to be able to expose this ugliness thoroughly so that everyone bystanding can see exactly what this guy is actually saying.

It might help to see how they are used. The WP in RAWP is probably the same as the prior use. OA of America? SC supreme court?

basically its in a multiplayer game, and he is giving his bases these acronyms as names

So far Ive ID'd 7
SWP-Supreme White Power
UAO-United as One
ROA- Race over all
ORION- Our race is our nation
CI- Christian Identity
DOC- Disciples of Christ
DTOM- Dont tread on me.

Still unidentified
SCOA
RAWP
RR
RA

He tried to pull off the ORION in conversation, got smacked down, and retreated into "im just proud of my heritage, im part native american". Which didnt fly very far, but let his more credulous team members ignore the issue. But you start adding the others in and it gets less and less deniable. I'd really like to fully identify and smack down the whole lot of it

Ideally, it would be great to have the person explain the acronyms themselves, publicly, but that would depend on the format in which they are being expressed.

I'm guessing that WP is white power, but I have no idea what the RA stands for.

Hes not quite proud enough to explain his real meanings. You can see my above post for a little more context

The WP part makes sense, especially since he has used the RA separately in a few instances. now i just have to figure out RA.

RAHOWA: RAcial HOly WAr
WPWW: White Pride World Wide
So maybe RAWP is RAcial White Pride

I have a feeling he's making them up as he goes along, cobbling other acronyms together.
