Racists to Party Tonight at CPAC
White nationalists attending the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) are planning to gather discreetly this evening at a steak house in the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center near Washington, DC, which is playing host to the conference. The gathering is sponsored by 聽the (NPI), a white nationalist 鈥渢hink tank鈥� whose mission is to 鈥渆levate the consciousness of whites, ensure our biological and cultural continuity, and protect our civil rights.鈥� The institute studies the so-called 鈥渃onsequences of the ongoing influx that non-Western populations pose to our national identity.鈥�
狈笔滨鈥檚 privately announced the gathering and guest of honor, , editor of the white nationalist magazine . Taylor argued in those pages that 鈥淏lacks and whites are different. When blacks are left entirely to their own devices, Western civilization 鈥� any kind of civilization 鈥� disappears.鈥� The magazine introduced itself to readers this way in 1990:
In fact, blacks and Hispanics are, compared to whites, far more likely to be poor, illiterate, on welfare, or in jail; they are far more likely to have illegitimate children, be addicted to drugs, or have AIDS. By no definition of international competitiveness can the presence of these populations be anything but a disadvantage.
The American Conservative Union, which sponsors CPAC, has struggled to purge the conference of white nationalists. As Devin Burghart yesterday, the group ProEnglish, which is led by prominent white nationalist Bob Vandervoort, is exhibiting at the conference again this year. Two years ago, he on an official CPAC panel. This year no white nationalists were on stage, and there was a (poorly attended) on minority outreach.
Spencer framed tonight鈥檚 white nationalist meet-up at CPAC gathering as particularly relevant given what he perceives as a shift by Republican leaders in favor of immigration reform:
The Republican leadership has expressed its wish for legislation that offers legal status for illegal immigrants. There鈥檚 a chance a revolt might occur . . . At the very least, CPAC is an opportunity for us to demonstrate to attendees the necessity of choosing a different path than the "Taxes Cuts Will Solve Everything" (sic) agenda that has defined the conservative movement for decades.
Spencer noted that steps were being taken to assure the privacy of the gathering and assured would-be attendees that they 鈥渟hould be confident that you can attend in an anonymous fashion (short of donning a disguise and voice modulator): no name tags will be issued; no recordings will be made; and all discussion will be strictly 鈥榦ff the record.鈥欌��
