Who’s Your Anti-Immigration Daddy?

V-Dare took heed of my consternation over Tancredogate and their own fantasyland analysis, and whiffed.

The philosophical point I forgot to mention, but I will now, in light of V-Dare’s response, is that the most troubling part of the “we need blacks in common cause” mentality that V-Dare itself has endorsed for at least a year, and the one that Bay Buchanan has suckered Tom Tancredo into believing, is one that I’ll relate to something that happened almost a decade ago.

From December 1998 to about May 1999, the Council of Conservative Citizens received its first wave of MSM attention and scrutiny. The reason was that President Clinton was impeached for lying to a grand jury, and Clintonites and the MSM (inasmuch as one could tell them apart) were in a full court press to save him. Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard Law School Professor, somehow discovered that Bob Barr, then a U.S. House principal in the effort to impeach the President, was the keynote speaker at the CofCC National Conference in Charleston, S.C. in June 1998. This did not much please Mr. Dershowitz, so he opened his mouth, and it was off to the races.

During the hype, national radio talk show host Ken Hamblin, who, like Tancredo, lives in the Denver area, came to our defense. He had CofCC CEO Gordon Lee Baum, Esq., on as a guest four times during the aforementioned period, and one of those times was in a debate with Mark Potok, Director of Intelligence for the SPLC (in which Potok accused Hamblin of not being a real black man).

The next time the CofCC Board of Directors met, several of the directors thought it would be a nifty idea to bring Hamblin in as a speaker. Dr. Samuel Francis, The Bard, would have none of it. In the angriest voice I ever heard him muster, he said (pph):

“What’s the matter with you people? We don’t need permission from any non-white group to be for our people, and we don’t need permission from any non-Christian group to be for our faith. For you to say that we should have him as a speaker communicates the message that we do. I thought we were better than that.”

The V-Dare/Tancredo strategy does just that: It implies that whites can’t be anti-immigration (i.e. a racial issue) without the permission of some non-white group. It also implies that American whites are so politically impotent and incompetent that we can’t accomplish anything by ourselves.

I’m sure there are blacks, like Ken Hamblin, and a few others, that agree with us, and agree with white racialist opposition to open borders, for their own self interests. If they want to help row the boat, fine. But I think we can, and should, and will, row the boat without them. And certainly it doesn’t mean that we’re going to beg a virulently anti-white hate group like the NAACP to do most of the rowing.

V-Dare: If by some miracle Tancredo wins the Republican nomination, and gets more than 10% of the black vote against whatever Democrat wins their party’s nomination, then I will apologize to you personally.
