At the end of May I attended the 2016 Renaissance Conference
in Nashville where I was confronted wit a veritable object
lesson. This conference, put on by Jared Taylor, focused on
the needs of White people in the current climate of widespread
liberal derision for Whites who long for a world of their own.
I had registered in the belief that, surely as one who had stood
in the revisionist trenches for decades, I would be welcome as
a fellow warrior, so to speak. I matter-of-factly requested a
table to proudly display revisionist pamphlet and such - well,
not so fast! A member of the origination called me, clearly
uncomfortable and ill-at-ease with what he was tasked to relay,
and let it be known that our revisionist contribution to the topic
of White rights was not exactly welcome. It would be awkward
to dilute legitimate political aims by shedding murky light on
the Jews.
This was not expressed in so many words. In fact, my caller
went out of his way to be nice and not to hurt my feelings. I
was told politely that, of course I was more than welcome as
a guest - no problem there - as long as I kept some unhelpful
issues to myself.
I immediately backed off and said if the revisionist contribution
to the problem was a problem, of course I would not be so brazen
as to polute the atmosphere. I went out of my way to state that
I fully understood fully. I realized we were engaged in an
undeclalred war, that camouflage was called for, and caution was
called for, and caution not to tread on Jew toes was still the
order of the day.
I am not very proud of myself that I caved in to expectations
for the sake of keeping goodwill in our ranks. I could have
stood on principle. I generally enjoyed the conference and the
speakers. It was a dignified affair. There were no hoodlums
there to shout and shriek that we were "racists" and maybe even
"holocaust-deniers," and all in all, the conference team did a
fine job. I met many good friends and felt respected and
appreciated. But still, I left with a painful thorn in my soul.
True change will not come to our ranks if we fear to call our
enemies by name - to call them on the carpet for their lies.
I have said this many times before. It's not easy to be an
absolutist when when it comes to call a Jew a Jew - as we call
a Swede a Swede without giving it a second thought that Swedes
might be offended. What does that tell us of the nature of our
spiritual endeavor to shed the unfair demonetization that springs
to the fore the moment we insist on our rights as a proud
and sovereign people - and call a hoax a hoax? What is it with
our own people that they will aid and abet a proven untruth
while quaking in their boots?
I am proud to present to you a truly exceptional essay that makes
the point much better than I can:
