I was brooding over the news that American Renaissance had been blocked in its attempt to find an alternative venue for its conference when my eye fell on this story:
GOP county chair resigns after racial controversy, by Max Brantley, Arkansas Times, February 2, 2011
"Surprise. John Casteel of Newport has resigned as Jackson County Republican chair. This spares the state Republican Party of having to act on Chairman[Email him] Doyle Webb's vow to seek his removal by the party executive committee for his "pro-white" views as a long time member of the Council of Conservative Citizens, a successor to the White Citizens Council with a long history of incendiary views on race. Casteel had earlier refused to quit the group."
So the GOP can no longer tolerate “pro-white views”? Then how in God’s name does it plan to win elections in Arkansas, which it currently does by sweeping the white vote? (Some 68% of Arkansas whites voted for the useless McCain-Palin ticket in 2008).
I’ve looked at the Council of Conservative Citizens website. There’s stuff there I perhaps wouldn’t post on VDARE.com, if for no other reason than that I know Southern Nationalism can irritate other parts of our readership coalition. But it prominently displays a powerful “Statement of Principles” written by our much-missed columnist Sam Francis. And I simply don’t see anything that’s even half as hateful as any single sermon by Rev. Jeremiah Wright. As Steve Sailer has said repeatedly, if you don’t like the ideas of whites organizing to defend their interests, maybe you should have thought of that before driving them into a minority through immigration policy.
