Inside Mac OS X 10.7 Lion: new iOS-like About this Mac appAfter converted Mac OS X's Apple Menu to link to the new Mac App Store market rather than just linking to its "Mac OS X Software" web page, Apple has now turned its attention to the pedestrian "About This Mac," providing easy access to system details.
The command now launches a simple new app titled System Information, which provides an Overview panel linking to both Software Updates and a hardware System Report (which launches the existing System Profiler for more detailed information).
A Displays panel details the current video interface and settings, providing a link to the Display panel in System Preferences.
The Storage panel provides an iTunes-like overview of how disk space is being used by each attached volume and partition, providing a link to Disk Utility.
Memory and Battery panels detail the status of installed RAM and batteries, linking to an external website of "memory upgrade instructions" and the Energy Saver panel of System Preferences.
The new app also provides links to Support information, including a Mac OS X user manual and link to Apple's OS support pages, as well as a hardware user manual, specifications, and hardware support pages.
Finally, a Service panel provides links to AppleCare for checking warranty coverage status and other options for service and repair, along with a link selling an extended AppleCare agreement.

I've been told you can adapt a human heart rate monitor to use on your horse. How would one do this? Does it need to fit under the girth, or in front of the girth? Has anyone had sucess doing this?

Reƀections on the 2010 AR Conference
Vol. 21 No. 4
There is not a truth existing which I fear or would wish unknown to the whole world.
ō Thomas Jefferson
April 2010
American Renaissance
A setback not just for AR.
by Jared Taylor
s many readers have learned
from other sources, the 2010
American Renaissance confer-
ence planned for February 19-21 was
essentially shut down. Opponents of free
speech bullied and threatened four suc-
cessive hotels into canceling contracts
to host our conference, with the last
pulling out just two days before guests
were to arrive. In the end, some 70
people attended an abbreviated program
that was thrown together in cramped
quarters at the last minute. To have sal-
vaged anything from the weekend was
an accomplishment, but the gathering
was a far cry from the smooth-running
conference that more than 250 people
had planned to attend.
It is shameful that people who hate
honest talk about race were able to
intimidate hotels and force them to
walk away from profitable business
and deny us a venue. But what is, if
anything, even more shocking is the
almost complete lack of media interest
in this contemptible behavior. Nothing
could more clearly highlight the utter
lack of principle of our rulers and elites.
If a non-white group—or any other
group—had been treated as we were,
it would have been a major free speech
issue, but the rights of those who dissent
from racial orthodoxy appear to be of no
concern to our rulers.
A pattern of pressure
AR has held conferences every two
years since 1994. They have prompted
protests and crank calls, but no hotel
has ever canceled its contract. Pressure
began to increase, however, at the time
of the 2006 conference (see following
article). A Dulles airport hotel that had
hosted three of our conferences decided
it no longer wanted to after unprecedent-
ed levels of threats and demonstrations,
including a trespasser who shoved lurid
leaƀets about hosting őracistsŒ under
guest-room doors.
In 2008 we contracted with a different
airport hotel, which came under even
greater pressure. It was swamped with
protest calls and the general manger
even got death threats at home. Still, the
hotel stuck to its contract. At the time of
the conference itself, there was a large
local police presence, but the dozen or
so demonstrators stayed off the property
and there was no hint of violence.
The real trouble began in the run up
to the 2010 conference. As we always
have, we identiſed the conference hotel
and asked registrants to make their own
reservations. The hotel got no protest
calls, but a spokesman said he had re-
searched what had happened in 2008 and
wanted to cancel so as to avoid demon-
strations and a police presence.
We found another hotel and slightly
changed our procedure. We gave out
the identity of the hotel only after
people had registered. This was a mild
level of security to keep trouble-makers
from learning where we were to meet.
They soon found out, however, and
swamped the hotel with protest calls.
Again, someone leaƀeted the hotel. This
second hotel canceled, citing fears for
employee safety.
It was now January 19, just one
month before the conference was to
begin. About a week later we found a
third hotel and decided on a different
strategy. We kept the identity of the
hotel secret and as registrations came
in we made the room reservations. We
told conferees the general location of the
hotel but said we would give its name
and location only 48 hours before the
conference began on February 19. We
assumed opponents would register but

Nothing could more
clearly highlight the utter
lack of principle of our
rulers and elites.

American Renaissance - 2 - April 2010
Letters from Readers
Sir — Thereŏs a ſrst for everything,
and here's my first angry letter to
American Renaissance, in response to
the article by neocon warmonger David
Gibson in the January issue (see őFort
Hood Shooting is Only the LatestŒ).
The neocons want American ser-
vicemen to ſght and die all over the
Middle East and Southwest Asia to kill
as many Muslims and Arabs as pos-
sible. Mr. Gibson obviously has a ſle
chock-full of every crime, attempted
crime, and naughty comment made by
a Muslim anywhere in the world, and he
uses this as a casus belli for his neocon
jihad against the Muslim world. As a
subscriber since the magazine's debut
issue, I can say with absolute certainty
that a column like that from David
Gibson doesn't belong in American
The neocons are masters of infil-
tration. They've taken over National
Review, the Conservative Book Club,
the Philadelphia Society, and several
other once-conservative periodicals and
organizations. Is AR now in their cross
Kenneth Reynolds, Bronx, N.Y.
Sir — The recent brouhaha over
Senator Harry Reidŏs allegedly őracistŒ
remarks about President Obama during
the 2008 campaign has once again put
the spotlight on őracial sensitivity.Œ
Many are now calling for free and open
conversation on race.
In this country? Are they kid-
ding? One need look no further than
the article, őWalking on Eggshells,Œ
by Samuel Truaxe (see January and
February issues) to see how such a
dialogue has been rendered impossible
by the ődiversity/sensitivityŒ boosters.
America, which has always been seen
as a beacon of free expression, has now
become a country whose white citizens
must watch their every word and opinion
on racial matters.
No matter how much he grovels,
anyone őguiltyŒ of saying the őwrongŒ
thing can face social ostracism, loss of
job, and any number of other punish-
ments. One can only hope that Mr. Tru-
axe's report will get wide circulation, so
people can wake up to this mockery of
free speech that has overtaken America
and paralyzed its white citizens.
David Shapiro
Sir — Mr. Truaxe's cover story
certainly rings true. Back when I grew
up, the Knights of Columbus put on an
annual blackface minstrel show. Not
any more, the cowards! Now they boast
about having a őgreenŒ pope.
Here is another incident to add to Mr.
Truaxe's list of white humiliations. Last
fall on the ESPN cable sports channel,
two announcers were working a foot-
ball game. During a lull, the topic of
NASCAR came up, and the men began
discussing the top ſve pole sitters for
the next race.
Sportscaster #1: How come Juan
Pablo Montoya isnŏt in the top ſve?
Sportscaster #2: He was probably out
getting a taco.
I thought that was funny, on-your-feet
thinking, but the ESPN suits were not
amused, and ordered Sportscaster #2 to
take a week off without pay.
Practically every day I see something
that proves my long-deceased father's
prescient observation—made in the
mid-'60s—that the white man will give
America away!
Steve Medve, Canton, N.Y.
Sir — I commend Reilly Smith for his
activism and wish him the best with his
AR club. That said, I am a little surprised
that he seems almost proud to have His-
panic members and Arabs interested in
joining. If we are to achieve our goals,
we need to recognize that ődiversityŒ is
the biggest threat, and we should not be
practicing this kind of inclusion. If the
Founding Fathers could have foreseen
the present day, they would have writ-
ten őWhites OnlyŒ in the ſrst line of
the Constitution. Let's learn from their
Shawn Rodenbeck, Kern Valley State
Prison, Delano, California
Sir — As I followed how the AR
conference was shut down, and see
how high-pitched, non-rational means
are used to stop public Internet discus-
sion, I cannot tell whether this marks
a waxing or waning of the race-realist
movement. On the one hand, it is of
course ominous to see citizens who
should enjoy free speech not merely
shut down but branded as the intolerant
ones, and as your magazine documents
constantly, it seems that the truth-tellers
are increasingly marginalized and even
demonized. On the other hand, when
the other side turns up the volume that
loud, it usually means they have run out
of rebuttals.
Two unrelated incidents lead me
to believe that, at least this week, the
race-realist view is waxing. The ſrst is
the electoral success of Geert Wilders'
party in Holland. The second, although
much less dramatic and newsworthy,
is a short article in this week's (March
4) Economist detailing the plight of
white Africans, and even referring to
the situation in Zimbabwe as őone of
Africaŏs great tragedies.Œ Granted, the
author uses this phrase to refer gener-
ally to the őruin of the countryŒ and the
őmoral bankruptcy of the government,Œ
but the gist of the piece is clear: whites
are being targeted and terrorized. An
article like this in a mainstream journal
is something of a baby step when one
compares the truth with the meager-
ness of what may be said, but it is still a
signiſcant leap forward. Again, a good
week for race realism.
Name Withheld, Hong Kong
American Renaissance - 3 - April 2010
when they learned of the location they
would have only two days to organize
We knew anti-free-speech activists
would call area hotels, so we asked the
hotel to maintain our privacy. It appears
to have done so, but someone found
out the location anyway by calling up
all the central reservations ofſces of all
the major hotel chains. On February 9,
the pressure began. Like the others, the
hotel was ƀooded with calls. Front ofſce
staff threatened to resign after receiv-
ing telephoned death threats, including
one to the effect that, őIf you hold this
conference I will go in there and shoot
you.Œ The hotel ſnally pulled out on
February 15—just four days before the
conference was to begin. We regretfully
told registrants that we were calling off
the 2010 conference.
However, we then learned of a hotel
in Washington, DC, that had a reputa-
tion for hosting controversial events and
standing up to pressure. We told man-
agement everything the other hotels had
been through: death threats, leaƀeting,
phone calls, threats of demonstrations.
The hotel raised its room rate for our
group as compensation for the trouble it
might face, but management assured us
it could handle anything. On February
16, we put out the word that the confer-
ence was back on, and urged registrants
to make their own reservations at the
new hotel.
Despite its promise
to hold fast, the hotel
crumpled in 24 hours.
We do not know all
the details of the pres-
sures it faced but we
did learn that someone
leaƀeted the hotel. An
employee said suppliers
were calling to say that
they might no longer do
business with the hotel
if it hosted our confer-
ence. He said a high
school class was being
organized to demon-
strate and leaƀet. őAnti-
racistŒ web sites wrote
of their determination to
őshut downŒ the conference, and urged
supporters to converge on the hotel if
it did not cancel our contract. On the
evening of February 17, therefore, less
than 48 hours before the conference
was to begin, we sent out a ſnal notice
of cancellation.
Not a quiet weekend
We anticipated a quiet weekend—
but that was not to be. People wanted
to meet anyway, even if there was no
conference. Dozens of people called and
e-mailed to say they were coming any-
way, so we designated yet another hotel
as the central lodging/meeting place. We
did not publicize the location nor spread
the word about it to other conference
registrants who had not contacted us.
On Feb. 19, the day the conference
would have begun, so many people had
gathered at the hotel that it became clear
it would be worth putting on a program.
That evening, AR staff located a pri-
vate dining room in a restaurant within
walking distance, and threw together an
impromptu program.
We still had three of the original
conference speakers—the rest had made
other plans because of the cancella-
tion—and three excellent replacements
came forward. On Saturday, I started off
the talks with a summary of the thuggish
pressures that had been put on the hotels,
and gave an abbreviated version of the
speech I had planned for the conference.
I recalled the great Sam Francis's words
from the ſrst AR conference in 1994:
őThe civilization that we as whites cre-
ated in Europe and America could not
have developed apart from the genetic
endowments of the creating people. . . .Œ
I also recalled that at the time I had said
the same thing more prosaically: őWe
have the right to be us, and only we
can be us.Œ
I noted that every one of us in that
room had a deep love for the genetic
and cultural heritage of Europe, and that
we all hoped that heritage would endure
forever. I said that my generation, which
grew up in the 1950s, had inherited a
good country but that just in my lifetime,
we had put in motion forces that are
destroying it. I said that perhaps never
in human history had a single generation
done so much damage to a country that
had not even suffered occupation by
invaders or natural devastation. Instead,
my generation has dismantled a once-
great country in a time of great scientiſc
and economic advance.
I concluded, however, that our move-
ment has made much progress in the
20 years since I have been publishing
American Renaissance. I spoke of my
admiration for the large number of
thoughtful people who now openly
support race realism, and expressed
my faith in the young men and women
who will take up the struggle when my
generation—the one with so much to

answer for—has gone.
The next speaker was former Army
Ranger and Harvard Law School gradu-
ate, Joe Sibley. He spoke of how he
came to understand the racial forces at
work in our country, and of the commit-
ment he feels to our people and culture.
He outlined strategies for advancing our
cause and spreading the message to yet
more potential supporters.
The ſnal speaker of the morning was
Matthew Tait, who is a parliamentary
candidate for the British National Party,
running for the Windsor seat. He spoke
of the recent very encouraging electoral
successes of the party: Richard Barn-
brook's seat on the London Assembly
and party leader Nick Griffin's and
Andrew Brons's great victories in the
elections for European Parliament.
Mr. Tait discussed in some detail
the harassment the party has faced over
its constitution, which has, until now,
limited membership to őindigenous
Caucasians.Œ There are many organiza-
tions in Britain exclusively for blacks
or Asians, but whites are not allowed
their own groups. The constitution has
now been amended, but it is not yet
clear whether the new language will
withstand court scrutiny.
Mr. Tait also described the prospects
and challenges the unprecedentedly
large slate of BNP candidates—98 at last
count—face in running for Parliament.
Chairman Nick Grifſn, who is cam-
paigning in the promising constituency
of Barking, has the best chances, but it
will be an uphill battle. In any case, the
elections will be another ſrst-rate op-
portunity to tell more patriotic Britons
that there is a party that still speaks for
After lunch, the conference resumed
with a talk by business consultant and
former Capitol Hill aide, Louis March.
In a talk he dedicated to Sam Francis,
Mr. March listed some of the institu-
tions ſghting against the interests of our
race—business, education, churches,
the media—and described the twisted
motivations that make whites their own
worst enemies.
Mr. March also explained recent sci-
entiſc ſndings that leave no doubt as to
the reality and importance of race, and
recounted the great accomplishments of
the European people. He emphasized the
tragedy that will befall us if we do not
work to save our heritage, and issued a
resounding call for continued commit-
ment and action.
Long-term Canadian activist Paul
Fromm then spoke of the challenges to
free speech in his country. He recounted
the absurd legalisms used to persecute
dissidents, some of whom have gone
to jail for expressing their views. Mr.
Fromm described the astonishing
travails and humiliations of several
ordinary Canadians who were caught
up in legal processes that can only be
described as deliberately unfair. He
described a system of kangaroo com-
missions that would be unthinkable in
the United States. He noted that some
of the most egregious laws have been
overturned—even if on very narrow
grounds—but that obstacles to free
speech remain formidable.
As he always does, Sam Dickson, the
Atlanta lawyer, closed the conference.
His theme this year was őknowing who
you are.Œ He described the ludicrous,
spiteful image our opponents have of
us and laughed at their alleged ability
to read our minds. People at the South-
ern Poverty Law Center, for example,
claim to know that we are őhatersŒ and
to understand our motives better than
we do ourselves. He gave one hilarious
example after another of the őlinksŒ by
which our presumed wickednesses are
proven. He afſrmed the nobility and
goodness of our cause, and urged us to
love the comrades with whom we march
in this great struggle.
Mr. Dickson also explained his theory
of how schizophrenia on race contrib-
utes to the rise of white sociopaths to
elite positions. He argued that unlike
non-whites, who need not strike fool-
ish poses about race and who are free
to make healthy demands in the names
of their people, prominent whites are so
accustomed to lying about the most ba-
sic aspects of society that only the most
practiced liars ever rise to positions of
power. Mr. Dickson's invariable combi-
nation of wit and inspiration was a ſtting
end to an embattled gathering.
The AR supporters who met over
weekend were in high spirits, pleased
to have salvaged an excellent program
from a wrecked conference. There was
much good cheer and conviviality that
continued into Sunday. However, there
is no denying that we were dealt a seri-
ous blow. Instead of what could have
been 270 people enioying a ſrst-rate
conference in a comfortable ballroom,
only 70 were able to take part in a
cramped and sometimes noisy room.
Nor were we able to invite the media
and get the kind of coverage that helps
spread our message.
2008 demonstrators: They did not have their fun this year.
American Renaissance - 5 - April 2010
Jared Taylor on Russian television.
Many of our supporters blame the
hotels for canceling their contracts;
some deserve more blame than others.
If the ſrst hotel, which faced no pres-
sure at all, had held ſrmōas had every
other hotel AR ever contracted
with—the primitives would not
have been encouraged to ratchet
up their intimidation efforts on
successive hotels. Once the second
hotel folded, things just got worse
for hotels three and four. When
hotel staff are getting death threats
and threatening to resign, it is not
so hard to understand why manage-
ment might capitulate—though in
2008, the hotel stuck to its contract
despite death threats.
Where were the police? Hotel
managers said they reported death
threats to the authorities, but no action
seems to have been taken. We have
alerted the FBI—which claims to be
studying the matter—but have had
no indication whether it will open an
As one of the scheduled speakers
who did not make the rump conference,
David Yeagley, has pointed out, there is
much irony in the FBI's inactivity. Not
long after he was sworn in, Attorney
General Eric Holder complained that
Americans are őessentially a nation
of cowardsŒ because they do not talk
honestly about race. The hallmark, of
course, of an AR conference is honest
talk about race and that is precisely
why the őanti-racistsŒ donŏt like them.
If Eric Holder really wanted honesty,
he would order the FBI to ensure that
our conferences had safe venues, but he
doesn't want honesty. He wants whites
to apologize and beat their breasts.
Even more shocking than the hotel
cancellations and police inactivity,
however, is the complete indifference to
what happened to us. We issued a press
release that went to hundreds of media
outlets. We issued notices to hundreds
of radio and television programs ask-
ing for an opportunity to explain what
happened. The Associated Press and
National Public Radio at ſrst showed
interest but dropped the story. The ſnal
tally? Aside from friendly media such as
őThe Political CesspoolŒ radio program,
only one radio station, in New Orleans,
invited me to be a guest.
We are aware of only one liberal who
expressed outrage at what his fellow
liberals had done. David Kelsey, who
describes himself as having őleft fun-
damentalist Judaism,Œ wrote a column
on his blog, őThe Kvetcher,Œ called
őSolidarity With Those We Disagree
With.Œ őIf we do not allow for free
speech for those whom we disagree with
and perhaps even scare us iust a bit,Œ
he asked, őhow much do we truly value
free speech?Œ He went on to call what
happened to the conference őhorrible.Œ
Is Mr. Kelsey the only honest liberal left
in America?
Needless to say, if a non-white group
had been denied a venue, there would
have been a national uproar. The FBI
would be on the case immediately, and
other hotels would have lined up to of-
fer their services. Congress might have
launched an investigation.
What happened to us passes in si-
lence. Our rulers and elites seem to be so
hopelessly stuck on the idea of snaggle-
toothed Klansmen terrorizing innocent,
law-abiding blacks that anything that
doesnŏt ſt that pattern simply cannot
exist. They want free speech for anyone
other than their friends and pets no more
than Eric Holder wants honest talk about
race. They are utterly unprincipled, and
seem to have no idea what their indiffer-
ence says about American society
Foreigners understand this. The Lon-
don correspondent of the Wall Street
Journal—not the reporters in New York
or Washington—interviewed me about
the cancellations and quoted me on
the sad state of freedom of speech
and assembly in őthe land of the
free and the home of the brave.Œ
Television broadcaster Russia To-
day invited me to its Washington
studio for a very fair news segment
on media indifference to the rights
of white dissidents. In answer to
a Russia Today anchor's question
as to why the pressure is greater
against us than in the past, I said
our opponents may be increasingly
terriſed of the AR message because
at some level they know it is irrefutable:
diversity is a weakness, self-segregation
is natural, and whites face a growing
This cancelation and the lack of
principled opposition to it has other
implications. AR has always operated
on the assumption that American insti-
tutions are basically fair, that the views
of whites will eventually be reƀected
in policy, and that change can come
through combinations of traditional
activism, outreach, and politics. It will
continue to do so.
There has always been, however,
a segment of the racial right that dis-
agrees. Many race-realist whites believe
that American institutions are hopelessly
rotten, and that whites will never get
justice by conventional means. What
happened to AR will encourage this
radical rejection of America and its
institutions. Those who remember their
history will know that even at the height
of the McCarthy era, Communists could
rent meeting halls and gather freely.
Americans understood the need to pro-
tect unpopular speech. No longer.
Entirely aside from what happens to
AR, the United States is moving in an
unstable and possibly dangerous direc-
tion. From the call-ins I receive when I

am on radio programs and the comments
sections of even the most liberal main-
stream newspapers, it is clear that many
whites now understand what is at stake.
And yet, aside from a few publications,
web pages, and radio programs, no one
speaks for them. In the ofſcial world of
American institutions, everyone speaks
against them.
In European countries not dominated
by two parties, increasingly inƀuential
őfar rightŒ parties reƀect the aspirations
of whites. In America, there are essen-
tially no political options for whites.
Even whites who wish only to meet to
discuss their legitimate interests ſnd
their meetings shut down by oppo-
nents—to the complete indifference
of elites who prate about democracy,
tolerance, and human rights.
Whites will not stand aside while
their country is given away to people
who hate them. Since the cancellation,
we are twice as determined. Our voices
will be heard. But when our rulers are
indifferent to the suppression of legiti-
mate debate on the most pressing issues
we face, it encourages rage and radical-
ism, the consequences of which no one
can predict.
Whoŏs Afraid of AR?
Violent lefties who are al-
lergic to ideas.
by Stephen Webster
ho are the groups opposed to
AR conferences? What are
they afraid of? Why are they
ready to break the law to prevent us
from meeting?
Our opponents are a loose collection
of groups that call themselves anti-
racists, anarchists, and anti-fascists, and
they all share a leftist worldview. Some
are avowed communists who hate the
World Bank and rail against global
capitalism. Others worry about animal
rights and global warming, while some
iust seem to hate őbourgeoisŒ society,
whatever that is. And they all oppose
őracism,Œ whatever that is. These groups
organize protests and run Internet meet-
ings and message boards. Each seems to
have a web site or a blog, and they often
cross-post each others' material.
Some of the groups that claimed
responsibility for shutting down the AR
conference were One People's Project,
led by a militant black named Darryl
Jenkins; Responsible for Equality And
Liberty (REAL), the brainchild of a
confused former FBI employee named
Jeffrey Imm; the őSelf-Described Anar-
chist CollectiveŒ (SDAC); Indymedia,
a network of so-called independent
alternative media sites; and even the
Mormon Worker, a radical socialist
newsletter for left-wing Latter Day
Saints. Other groups, including a British
labor federation and the United Steel-
workers, approved putting pressure on
the hotels but had little real effect.
The Anti-Defamation League and
the Southern Poverty Law Center also
take notice of AR conferences, but they
probably prefer that the conferences take
place. Hundreds of őbigots,Œ all together
in one room, make good copy for pres-
suring donors: Fascism is on the march!
The SPLC also likes to send a spy who
can then describe the conference in
breathless superlatives that will frighten
supporters into opening their wallets.
Some of these groups operate under
the umbrella of another leftist organiza-
tion, the Anti-Racist Action Network
(ARA). To the extent such a thing is
possible, ARA acts as a hub for leftwing
groups, and its web site tries to describe
the rationale for őanti-racism.Œ Probably
our most crazed opponents subscribe to
some version of its thinking.
ARA says its purpose is to őor-
ganize a variety of
actions to expose,
oppose, and con-
front hate in what-
ever form threatens
the diversity and
safety of our com-
munities.Œ It claims
to be ődedicated to
building a fun, di-
verse, liberated and
explicitly anti-racist,
anti-sexist and anti-
homophobic youth
culture,Œ and it ſghts őwhite supremacist
groups like the KKK and neo-nazis,
police brutality, and religious extremists
(to name a few).Œ Its goal is to ődisrupt
and ultimately destroy these groups.Œ Its
motto is, őHave fun, stay young, smash
the fash [fascists].Œ
ARA has no hierarchy. Each chap-
ter is free to decide őwhat issues and
problems in their community need to be
addressed.Œ What holds the network to-
gether are ARA's four Points of Unity:
1. We go where they go: Whenever
fascists are organizing or active in pub-
lic, we're there. . . .
2. We don't rely on the cops or courts
to do our work for us: . . . we must rely
on ourselves to protect ourselves and
stop the fascists.
3. Non-Sectarian defense of other
Anti-Fascists: In ARA, we have lots of
different groups and individuals. We
don't agree about everything and we
have a right to differ openly. But in this
movement an attack on one is an attack
on us all.
4. We support abortion rights and
reproductive freedom. ARA intends to
do the hard work necessary to build a
broad, strong movement against racism,
sexism, anti-Semitism, homophobia,

An ARA demonstration. They forgot their masks so faces are blurred out.
discrimination against the disabled, the
oldest, the youngest and the most op-
pressed people. We want a classless free
society. WE INTEND TO WIN!
ARA has such a well-established
reputation for violence, it is compelled
to address the subject at some length:
őARA has never advocated violence
as a solution to hate. The problem comes
when we confront hate groups that are
violent. . . . ARA reserves the right to
defend its members and other people
against racist violence. . . . We don't
advocate violence as a solution to hate,
but we also don't tell people what is the
'correct' way to respond to hate group
activity . . . . We believe in, uphold and
practice the right to self-defense against
racist violence!Œ
ARA confuses cause and effect: őAn-
ti-racism doesn't cause racist violence;
it prevents racist violence by making
the racists know that a lot of people are
prepared to take the steps necessary to
prevent them from hurting others. With-
out strong anti-racist opposition to hate
groups, it's not a question of whether a
bigot will hurt an innocent person; it's
a question of when!Œ
Obviously, these people cannot sim-
ply say, őWe believe in peaceful protest
and abhor all forms of violence.Œ
At a lecture AR editor Jared Taylor
tried to give in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in
2007, őanti-racistsŒ destroyed leaƀets,
banged pots and pans, and ſnally locked
arms and pushed Mr. Taylor out of the
meeting hall. Did they actually think
they were preventing violence? Of
course not. They are totalitarians who
want, as they say, to ődisrupt and ulti-
mately destroyŒ people they donŏt like.
The Halifax őanti-racistsŒ also used
a typical leftist tactic; they hid behind
bandannas. Some of the protesters at the
2008 AR conference also wore masks.
This is their iustiſcation: őRacists like
to take pictures of anti-racists so that
they'll be able to identify them and at-
tack them later on. To protect our safety,
we sometimes choose to wear masks so
that we don't have to worry about racists
hurting us, or people close to us, after
the action.Œ
The real reason is to prevent police
from identifying them when they break
the law, as they did in Halifax. Mr. Tay-
lor pressed assault charges, but the po-
lice said they could do nothing because
they could not identify the criminals.
In many jurisdictions it is against the
law to appear in public wearing a mask.
Ironically, given that mask-wearing is
an almost exclusively leftist practice,
most anti-mask ordinances were ad-
opted to stop Klansmen from parading
in hoods.
Why doesnŏt ARA iust ignore őrac-
ists,Œ especially ones who iust want to
meet peacefully and talk to each other?
First, of course, there is the reductio ad
őWhen Hitler ſrst appeared on the
scene in Germany, people thought the
best thing to do was to ignore him, hop-
ing he would just go away. That example
alone proves how foolish it is to close
our eyes and hope that the racists will
iust disappear on their own.Œ
Then there is the obsession with vio-
lence: őIgnoring a problem never makes
it go away. If hate groups encounter no
opposition to their activities in a com-
munity, they'll take that to mean that
they have no opposition there willing
to stand up to them and they will act
accordingly. This makes it more likely
that hate group activity will increase and
they will start hurting people.Œ
Presumably, if an AR conference
were not picketed we would rush out and
lynch someone. Since ARA members
are constantly thinking about violence
they believe everyone else is, too.
Some ARA propaganda is funny:
őThe mainstream media are always giv-
ing nazis and racist groups millions of
dollars in free publicity on talk shows
and in pseudo-documentaries that glam-
orize white power groups.Œ If that were
so, why not demonstrate against media
companies rather than őnazisŒ?
The ARA knows its tactics violate
őliberalŒ rules of free speech, but its
obsession with violence trumps all:
őFree speech shouldnŏt endanger
American Renaissance - 8 - April 2010
people's lives. You can't yell 'Fire!' in
a crowded theater, because people will
probably get hurt trying to get out. We
think that hate speech acts in the same
way—by trying to make certain kinds of
people seem less than human and by glo-
rifying violent acts against them—it's
just a matter of time before a follower
or supporter of a hate group puts words
into action . . . . If you actively go out of
your way to tell people that 90% of the
world's population should be enslaved
. . . we think you've forfeited your right
to free speech.Œ
Aside from the fact that probably no
one in America—or probably anywhere
in the world—ever proposed enslaving
90 percent of the earth's people, ARA
cannot stop thinking about violence.
Anyone who says something ARA
doesn't like can be denied free speech
because anything ARA doesn't like can
lead to violence. And, by the way, it's
ſne to use violence to stop that kind of
Interestingly, ARA does not call for
criminalizing őracistŒ speech őbecause
we believe people need to take the re-
sponsibility to confront and solve these
problems ourselves.Œ ARA also wor-
ries őthat laws passed to Ŏban the Klanŏ
would just end up getting used against
This is an unwitting revelation. ARA
thinks everyone is as venomous as it is,
so a ban on őhateŒ speech would apply
to them. At the same time, they know
that only the left uses strong-arm tactics
to silence its opposition. Since they are
never the victims of thuggery, they see
it as a much better tactic than laws that
could harm them. Besides, if the law
muzzled őracistsŒ it would take all the
fun out of őbash the fash.Œ
Most of ARA's allied groups, howev-
er, would be happy to see őhateŒ speech
laws applied to groups like AR.
Targeting AR
Lefties love to talk tough. At the time
of the 2008 conference, they predicted
hundreds of angry protestors would
show up to ſght őracism.Œ The police
appear to have taken these threats at face
value, and deployed a SWAT team. In
the end there were maybe a dozen pro-
testers: a few hippies with a sprinkling
of militant blacks and Hispanics. There
were no incidents or arrests.
The language of the Left, however,
reveals its mindset. In 2010, after the
ſrst hotel canceled, the Self Described
Anarchist Collective (SDAC) wrote:
őYo, so itŏs happening: American
Renaissance is trying to have their racist,
white supremacist conference right here
in our own backyard (VA, what up) . . .
. [SDAC] launched an oral sneak attack
on the mothafuckas . . . . Proving that
there's power in the phone lines, the
hotel reversed their decision on hosting
them and gave them the boot! Power to
the People. Next stop: the next skeezy
hotel that tries to host these bastards.
Try it if you dare.Œ
When we contracted with the second
hotel, this call went out from SDAC and
allied websites:
őSHUT DOWN THE RACISTS! The
white supremacist newsletter American
Renaissance (AmRen) is holding their
9th annual [sic] conference . . . . [The
hotel] has not made a decision yet on
whether or not they are going to allow
the conference to continue. There will be
a massive phone-in all day on Tuesday,
January, 19th, 2010.Œ
Here is one of the things these groups
suggested callers say to the hotel: őI un-
derstand that several of the conference
speakers have gone to prison for inciting
racial violence, and in the interest of the
safety of the DC community, and of all
people worldwide, I ask that you do not
endorse these views.Œ These sites then
urged readers to circulate this message
far and wide, and concluded again with
őSHUT DOWN THE RACISTS!Œ
When the hotel at ſrst held ſrm, the
message changed:
őSHUT DOWN THE RACISTS! . .
As the sites explained, őThey are ap-
parently alright with Nazis meeting in
their hotels. Well . . . if they are going
to let that scum stay in their hotels, we
aren't. We tried playing nice, we tried
asking, but there is no room for compro-
mise when it comes to fascists trying to
organize. The time to ask is over, now
we take action. . . . If they don't cancel
we will converge . . . to confront these
white supremacists when they crawl out
from under their rocks and try to gather!
Save the Date, February 20 . . . . We will
not let them pass!Œ
Several hundred more phone calls,
combined with threats and leaƀeting,
and the hotel buckled. As its managers
explained, they feared for the safety of
their employees.
SDAC and is allies used the same
tactics on the next hotel:
őShut Down AmRen: Antifa Hooli-
gans Converge February 20th.Œ
őIf they donŏt cancel we converge!Œ
őSDAC Eats Racists.Œ
ő[T]ell the hotel how disgusted you
are with their decision to host a racist
When the conference was moved
to its ſnal hotel, in Washington, DC,
something called DC Direct Action
News spread this message:
őNOW THEY ARE MEETING IN
DC ITSELF INSTEAD! . . . You can
see what hatemongering assholes they
are by visiting www.amren.com but be
sure to have someplace to puke, because
this shit is nasty.Œ
One People's Project was itching
for a ſght:
ő[A]ntifa is steppinŏ out to play! We
American Renaissance - 9 - April 2010
are waiting for the ofſcial call from
other organizations, and when we get
them we will post it here, but in the
meantime if you were planning to come
out, keep those plans. This is going to
be damned interesting!Œ
Intimidation and threats of violence
work. In the end, lefties were able to
deny 300 people the right to assemble,
and denied four hotels a piece of proſt-
able business during a slow season.
Why are our opponents so afraid of
our message? AR conferences have
been going on since 1994 without a hint
of violence, so all this talk of stopping
mayhem is rubbish. No, our opponents
are afraid we are right. They are afraid
our message destroys the dogmas of ődi-
versityŒ and multiculturalism. Tyrants
suppress free speech because it under-
mines tyranny. The same is true of őanti-
racists.Œ If what we say is hopelessly
wrong it does not even need a reply—the
more we gather and speak, the more
ridiculous we appear. At the very least,
it should be child's play to refute what
we say. The answer to speech you do not
like is not suppression, it is more speech.
The Left used to understand that. In their
hearts, one suspects, even these scrufſes
do, too. What they really fear—and for
good reason—is that we will crush them
in a battle of ideas.
There have been many reactions from
readers to the conference cancelation,
but this was one of the best: őMaybe
you should call [US attorney general]
Eric Holder and tell him how you were
trying to have a dialogue on race, but a
nation of cowards stopped you.Œ
Whoŏs Taking Over?
Pew Hispanic Center, Between Two Worlds: How Young Latinos Come of Age in America,
December 11, 2009, 162 pp., free Internet download.
A portrait of the coming
reviewed by Richard Spencer
etween Two Worlds, the Pew
Research Center's report on the
ővalues, attitudes, and experi-
encesŒ of young Hispanics starts like
őHispanics are the largest and young-
est minority group in the United States.
One-in-ſve schoolchildren is Hispanic.
One-in-four newborns is Hispanic.
Never before in this country's history
has a minority ethnic group made up so
large a share of the youngest Americans.
By force of numbers alone, the kinds of
adults these young Latinos become will
help shape the kind of society America
becomes in the 21st century.Œ
The Pew center report suggests
that the rest of us might want to know
something about Hispanics before we
hand the keys to our country and culture
over to them, and most Americans have
a vague sense that Hispanics bring big
changes, even if they may not know
the details. The Los Angeles Times, for
example, reports that in Los Angeles
County, illegal immigrants account for
95 percent of warrants for murder and 75
percent of the most wanted list. Nearly
60 percent of all people living in HUD
housing are Hispanic. Hispanics are
twice as likely as whites to be in prison
or have illegitimate children, and three
times more likely not to have medical
But who are they, exactly? What
do they think of themselves? The
Pew study, based on a sample of some
2,000 Hispanics age 16 to 25 (hereafter
őyoung HispanicsŒ), has quantiſed a
number of interesting characteristics.
One point the report underlines is
that though any discussion of Hispan-
ics has been informed by clichés about
the őimmigrant experience,Œ two-
thirds of all American Hispanics are
not immigrants; they were born here.
They are also young: Their median
age is 27 (compared to 31 for blacks,
36 for Asians, and 41 for whites),
and Hispanics account for 18 percent
of all American 16- to 25-year-olds
(blacks are 14 percent). They are a
dominant 42 percent of the young
people in California and 51 percent in
New Mexico.
As the ſgure on this page shows, the
ſrst-generationōthe immigrantsōhas
a median age of 38, not much younger
than the median age for whites. This is
because very few children immigrate.
But once Hispanics get here, they have
babies at a great rate—in many cases
more than they would have had if they
had stayed home. This is consistent
with historic ſndings: When people
from poor countries come to wealthy
American Renaissance - 10 - April 2010
America, their conſdence in
the future increases and they
have more children.
The second generation
of Hispanics is therefore
dramatically skewed towards
youth, with a median age of
just 14. This is a younger
population than in any nation
of the world, though Uganda
and the Gaza strip come
close, with median ages of
15. Thirty-eight percent of
second-generation Hispanics
are younger than ten.
Even the third generation
is very young, with a median
age of 20—like Ghana or
Haiti—and with 30 percent
younger than 10. Hispanics
are also the only popula-
tion group that is majority
male—51.3 percent. The
American population as a
whole is 49 percent male.
No fewer than 72 percent
of young Hispanics say they
expect to be better off ſnan-
cially than their parents, and
another 20 percent expect to
do equally well. This is in
stark contrast to countless
polls that show whites are
extremely gloomy about
the future. This optimism
may simply reƀect the rela-
tively humble circumstances
of Hispanics' parents or it
may be that Hispanics are
counting on their increasing
numbers to lift them eco-
Although they are posi-
tioned to inherit the country,
only 21 percent of Hispanics
think of themselves as Amer-
icans ſrst (see the top ſgure
on this page). The rest think
of themselves ſrst as Hispan-
ics or as foreign nationals—
Mexicans or Guatemalans,
for example. Only by the
third generation and later do
even half of young Hispanics
consider themselves Ameri-
cans ſrst. As the same ſgure
shows, even among Hispan-
ics whose primary language is English,
a majority do not think of themselves
Americans ſrst.
Likewise, although Hispanics are
often lumped in with whites for statisti-
cal purposes, few consider themselves
white. As the top bar of the bottom ſgure
on this page shows, when Hispanics are
asked whether they are white, black,
Asian, or some other race, 37 percent
volunteer that they are none
of those and are instead His-
panic. Twenty-six percent say
they are white, but probably
many of these would have
said őHispanicŒ if that choice
were offered. Young Hispan-
ics are particularly unlikely
to say they are white, and this
portends an increased harden-
ing of a distinct racial identity.
Although the ofſcial census
position is that Hispanics őcan
be of any race,Œ this survey
shows that essentially no
Hispanics think of themselves
as Asian and only a handful
consider themselves black.
Hispanics cling to their lan-
guage. Thirty-eight percent of
third-generation young people
can speak and understand
Spanish, even though they
were born in the United States
to native-born parents who
speak English. No fewer than
70 percent of young Hispanics
speak the mix of Spanish and
English called őSpanglishŒ
at least some of the time, and
that is true of 57 percent of
third-generation Hispanics.
There is historical precedent
for a degraded, hybrid lan-
guage to emerge as a kind of
lingua franca in a multicul-
tural nation; őSpanglishŒ may
one day serve that function in
parts of the United States.
If Hispanics will inherit
the country it will be a poorly
educated country. The ſrst
ſgure on the next page shows
Hispanics are about twice
as likely as blacks and three
times as likely as whites to
drop out of high school. They
are also the racial group least
likely to go to college (note
the very high attendance rate
of young Asians).
One of the most striking
and ominous characteristics
of Hispanic immigrants is
their tendency to do worse
from one generation to the
next. For example, native-
born Hispanics are 50 percent more
likely to be in prison than immigrants.
Also, compared to the second-gener-
ation, third-generation Hispanics are
more likely to:
American Renaissance - 11 - April 2010
Ŗ be below the poverty line.
Ŗ be unemployed.
Ŗ fail to go to college.
Ŗ have sex as teenagers.
Ŗ approve of teenagers having sex.
Ŗ have been in a ſght over the past
Ŗ have a friend or family member in
a gang.
This is the opposite of the traditional
immigrant experience, in which each
generation does better than its parents.
Researchers at Brown University have
even wondered, őIs becoming American
a developmental risk?Œ
Why do Hispanics go downhill? The
Pew study notes that over the genera-
tions, they steadily lose their Catholic
faith and that regular church-goers are
better behaved (see figure below, to
the left). This is no doubt an important
correlation, but it is impossible to know
which is the cause. More intelligent and
better-behaved Hispanics may simply
ſnd community in churches rather than
in gangs. As they lose their faith, suc-
ceeding generations of Hispanics are
also increasingly likely to approve of
abortion-on-demand and homosexual
Pew offers no other sugges-
tion as to why Hispanic behavior
degrades, but part of
the problem may be the
adoption by second- and
third-generation Hispan-
ics of the orthodox view
of őracism.Œ Only 32
percent of foreign-born
Hispanics say they or a
close associate has been
a victim, whereas 41
percent of native-born
Hispanics say this. The
longer Hispanics live
here, the more sensitive
to őracismŒ and alien-
ated they seem to become. The
belief that white őracistsŒ will
undermine their efforts is hardly
conducive to hard work or suc-
At the same time, many ſrst-
generation Hispanic immigrants are
probably happy merely to be in a country
where there is work, where social ser-
vices are generous, and the police are
honest. They gratefully make the most
of opportunities they would not have
back home.
Succeeding generations, however,
quickly appear to adopt the resentments
blacks have long cultivated. Young His-
panics are probably much more likely
than their parents to think America owes
them compensation for the Mexican-
American War, őinstitutional racism,Œ
őwhite skin privilege,Œ and all the other
grievances liberals encourage. Young
Hispanics are certainly much less will-
ing than their elders to do manual labor
and to have expectations their abilities
could never justify. This leads to alien-
ation and probably helps explain why so
many Hispanics are in gangs.
Finally, although the Pew study does
not break out fatherlessness rates by
generation, they undoubtedly rise from
one generation to the next. As Hispanics
drop away from the church and pick up
the unfortunate habits of blacks, their
children are increasingly likely to suffer
the burdens of illegitimacy.
Even though the Pew Hispanic Center
does not try to explain these disturbing
downward trends, it deserves our respect
for highlighting them. The people who
run the center would certainly prefer
to be able to report that Hispanics are
assimilating, becoming patriotic Ameri-
cans, and moving up just as European
immigrants did. Their willingness to
report contrary ſndings shows unusual

were certainly horrible days in our histo-
ryōbecause it was so horrible,Œ he says.

to house this, even as controversial as it
is.Œ [Smithsonian: O.J.ŏs Acquittal Suit

Still Stupid
The late Samuel Francis called the
Republican Party the Stupid Party (the
Democrats were the Evil Party), in
part because they refused to see that
non-white immigration dooms them.
Another inveterate Republican stupidity
is the belief that Hispanics are őnatural
conservativesŒ who will ƀock to the
party if only GOP troglodytes stopped
opposing amnesty.
Among the Republicans still mouth-
ing this silliness is former Texas con-
gressman Henry Bonilla, who lost his
seat to a Hispanic Democrat in 2006
after seven terms. őIf you donŏt go out
and bring more Hispanics to our party,
the math isn't there to win, no matter
what the other side does,Œ says Mr.
Bonilla. Republican strategists such
as Whit Ayres cite the rapid
increase in Hispanics and the
impending displacement of
whites as proof that Republi-
cans must pander harder than
ever. őIf Republicans donŏt do
better among Hispanics,Œ he
says, őweŏre not going to be
talking about how to get Florida
back in the Republican column,
we're going to be talking about
how not to lose Texas.Œ
Dan Bartlett, an adviser to
former president George W.
Bush, says Republicans need őan
authentic relationshipŒ with Hispanics.
őThe Hispanics are going to be a domi-
nant political force in the state of Texas
and around the country for the next 100
years, and the Republican Party's blow-
ing it,Œ he says. őThereŏs a real dearth of
smart thinking on the Republican side
of the aisle.Œ
GOP chairmen are among the worst
offenders. Current chairman Michael
Steele says opposition to amnesty
őharkens back, quite frankly, to the
Southern strategy that the Republicans
embraced in the 1960s, causing black
Republicans to abandon the party,Œ and
that immigration őhotheadsŒ are alienat-
ing Hispanics.
Former chairman Ed Gillespie says
Republicans need to őrun inclusive
campaignsŒ instead of őindulging in the
anti-immigration rhetoric of the past.Œ
He notes that George W. Bush won 54
percent of the white vote and ended up
in a virtual tie with Al Gore, while John
McCain got 55 percent of the white vote
and lost to Barack Obama. őIf the current
voting percentages among white, black,
Asian and Hispanic stay the same,Œ he
says, őthe Republican nominee will lose
by 14 points in 2020.Œ [Peter Slevin, Re-
publicans Look to Rebuild Their Trac-
tion With Hispanic Voters, Washington
Post, Feb. 21, 2010.]
The Stupid Party misses three obvi-
ous points. First, the Hispanicization of
America is not inevitable. Republicans
could improve their prospects by slow-
ing or reversing population trends. A
moratorium on immigration and a crack-
down on illegals would be a good start.
Second, Hispanics will vote Democrat
no matter what the Republicans do. His-
panics are poorer than whites and will
always vote for the party that promises
the most handouts. Third, the GOP could
appeal to more whites. If John McCain
had won 60 percent of the white vote, he
would have coasted to victory.
őI Hate WhitesŒ
Like most Southern cities, Augusta,
Georgia has a monument dedicated to
Confederate soldiers. The granite and
marble structure stands 76-feet high.
One inscription reads, őIn honor of the
men of Richmond County who died in
the cause of the Confederate StatesŒ
and another, őNo Nation Rose So White
and Fair; None Fell So Pure of Crime.Œ
The monument is composed of statues
of four Civil War generals: Thomas R.
R. Cobb, Stonewall Jackson, Robert E.
Lee, and William Henry Talbot. It was
dedicated in 1878, before a crowd of
10,000 people.
Last fall, vandals defaced the monu-
ment with spray-painted anti-white

Diversity and MIT
The faculty of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT) includes
many of the best scientists in the world.
There is very little faculty ődiversity,Œ

More than a prophet.
however, which embarrasses the insti-
tute. A iust-completed two-year őcom-
prehensiveŒ study found that blacks
and Hispanics make up just 6 percent
of the teaching staff. There are plenty
of Asian professors and students, but
they are őoverrepresented minoritiesŒ
and don't count. MIT wants the faculty
to reƀect the nation, which is 30 percent
őunderrepresented minority.Œ
That will be tough. Some depart-
ments, such as chemistry, mathemat-
ics, nuclear science, and engineering
haven't hired a single black or Hispanic
in the last 20 years, and the ones who
are hired may not be happy. The report
notes that in 2006, for example, a black
biological-engineering professor who
had been denied tenure charged MIT
with racial discrimination and went on
a hunger strike. őThese issues become
difſcult to address because of a general
discomfort in openly discussing matters
of race in the academic setting of MIT,Œ
moans the report, and notes ominously
that many white profs don't understand
the importance of diversity.
Paula Hammond, a black chemical-
engineering professor who led the proj-
ect, is upbeat. őWe believe that inclu-
siveness can lead to excellence, rather
than impede it,Œ she insists. [Tracy Jan,

Flag Flap
Despite the best efforts of the NAACP,
the Confederate Battle Flag continues to
ƀy on the grounds of the South Carolina
statehouse, and people still travel to
South Carolina and do business there.
In January, NAACP president Benjamin
Jealous addressed a South Carolina
meeting honoring Martin Luther King
and pledged to bring more publicity to
the pressure groupŏs ƀagging economic
boycott of the state.
In the 1960s, South Carolina began
ƀying the battle ƀag over the statehouse
dome—under the national and state
ƀags. This was to commemorate South
Carolina's role in the War Between the
States, but the NAACP and other liberal
groups claim it was to protest the civil
rights movement. In 2000, after a rally
that brought 50,000 protesters to the
statehouse grounds, the legislature voted
to take the ƀag down from the dome
and ƀy it in front of a monument to
Confederate soldiers. That did nothing
to mollify the NAACP.
őDr. King knew it was put there
as an act of intimidation and hatred.
Moving it from right up top to smack
in front doesnŏt change things,Œ Mr.
Jealous says. őIn some ways it worsens
the problem. You stand there and look
at that ƀag and see how big it is to you
and you look up at the American ƀag and
see how small it is.Œ [Jeffrey Collins,
NAACP Vows Stronger Confederate
Flag Fight in SC, Sun News (Myrtle
Beach), Jan. 18, 2010.]
Deep-Sixing 209
Proposition 209, the 1996 Califor-
nia ballot initiative that banned racial
preferences in university admissions,
has survived many court challenges but
opponents are trying again. In February,
two left-wing pressure groups—the
Coalition to Defend Afſrmative Ac-
tion, Integration, and Immigrant Rights;
and Fight for Equality By Any Means
Necessary (BAMN)—sued in federal
court in San Francisco, claiming that the
proposition violated the equal protec-
tion clause of the 14th Amendment by
creating őa racial caste system in which
the state's most prestigious schools
train mostly white students and stu-
dents from some Asian backgrounds.Œ
The suit also claims UC admissions
standards are ődiscriminatoryŒ because
they emphasize high school grades and
test scores.
The US Supreme Court rejected a
challenge to Proposition 209 in 1997,
but BAMN attorney George Washing-
ton thinks things have changed since
then. He hopes the court will follow
the reasoning in its 2003 decision in the
University of Michigan law school case,
which lets colleges consider race as a
factor in admissions, so long as there are
no ſrm quotas. [Larry Gordon, Federal
Suit Planned Against UC Over Ban on

Too Rich, Too White
The Education Trust, a non-proſt
foundation dedicated to closing the
racial achievement gap, is lamenting
the őwhiteningŒ of Americaŏs ƀagship
state universities. It claims the entering
and graduating classes at many leading
state schools are far less diverse than
they should be. Director Kati Haycock
says the nation's top 50 state universi-
ties are wrong őto enroll students who
are far richer and far whiterŒ than their
state populations. [Mary Beth Marklein,

Farrakhan Speaks
Twenty thousand people ſlled the
United Center in Chicago for the Nation
of Islam's annual convention on Febru-
ary 28. In a four-hour speech worthy
of Fidel Castro or Nikita Khrushchev,
NOI's 76-year-old leader Louis Far-
rakhan told the crowd that the őwhite
rightŒ was conspiring to ensure Presi-
dent Obama served only one term, and
was trying to force him into a disastrous
war with Iran. He urged Mr. Obama to
őuse your bully pulpitŒ to speak for the
poor and the weak.
Mostly, though, Rev. Farrakhan
talked about himself. He went on about
a vision he had in Mexico in 1985, in
which he went aboard a UFO and met
the late Nation of Islam leader Elijah
Muhammad. He says Muhammad
showed him glimpses of the future,

including the US bombing of Libya in
1986, and gave him the power to discern
the őwarning signsŒ in natural disasters,
such as the recent earthquake in Chile.
Such events, Rev. Farrakhan helpfully
explained, mean trouble ahead. őThe
word Ŏprophetŏ is too cheap a word,Œ he
concluded about himself. őI am a light
in the midst of darkness.Œ The crowd
replied with shouts of őAllahu AkbarŒ
(Arabic for őGod is greatŒ). [ŎWhite

OŏConnor Speaks
In her 2003 opinion in the University
of Michigan racial preferences case,
Grutter v. Bollinger, former Supreme
Court justice Sandra Day O'Connor fa-
mously wrote, őWe expect that 25 years
from now, the use of racial preferences
will no longer be necessary to further
the interest approved todayŒ (see őWhat
the Court Did,Œ AR, August 2003).
Many people criticized the decision for
kicking the afſrmative action can down
the road for a future Court to rule on.
But the decision did suggest that in a
generation or so whites might no longer
face ofſcial racial discrimination. In
2007, Justice O'Connor encouraged this
view in a speech in which she said the
Court majority in Grutter őhad tried to
be careful in stressing that afſrmative
action should be a temporary bandage
rather than a permanent cure.Œ
The retired justice has now changed
direction in an essay she co-authored
with Stewart J. Schwab, one of her for-
mer clerks who is now dean of Cornell
Law School, and that appears in a new
book, The Next 25 Years. Afſrmative
Action in Higher Education in the
United States and South Africa. She now
sees the time limit differently: őThat 25-
year expectation is, of course, far from
binding on any justices who may be re-
sponsible for entertaining a challenge to
an afſrmative-action program in 2028. .
. . When the time comes to reassess the
constitutionality of considering race in
higher-education admissions we will
need social scientists to clearly demon-
strate the educational beneſts of diverse
student bodies, and to better understand
the links between role models in one
generation and aspirations and achieve-
ments of succeeding generations.Œ This
sounds like a permanent cure.
Terence J. Pell is president of the
Center for Individual Rights, which
represented Jennifer Grutter, the plain-
tiff in the original case. őWhat I found
surprising,Œ he says, őwas the extent to
which the authors conſrmed everyoneŏs
worst fears about this 25-year limit—
namely, that it is not a limit at all, but
rather an opening bid in an effort to
justify the use of race preferences in
perpetuity.Œ Roger B. Clegg, president
of the Center for Equal Opportunity,
says simply: őI am glad she is no longer
on the Supreme Court.Œ [Peter Schmidt,

The Bloom is Off
During the 2008 election campaign,
and especially after Barack Obama
took ofſce, liberal media commenta-
tors assured us that the nationŏs ſrst
black president would heal America's
racial divisions. A recent poll found
just 41 percent of Americans believe
Mr. Obama has helped race relations,
down from 58 percent a year ago on the
eve of his inauguration. The decline is
sharpest among blacks, with a drop of
75 percent to 51 percent. [Tabassum

Sauce for the Gander
Blacks and other non-whites have
complained for years about how they
are portrayed on television and in ſlms,
which is why most TV judges, surgeons,
and other authority figures are now
black. Whites never complain, which
is why crooks are always white and
white fathers and husbands are buffoons.
Whites are also about the only people
Hollywood dares stereotype: WASPs
are greedy and emotionally inhibited,
the Irish are drunkards, and Italians are
gangsters and thugs.
The Italians, at least, have had
enough. UNICO National is an Italian-
American service organization estab-
lished in 1922 to őengage in charitable
works, support higher education, and
perform patriotic deeds.Œ It is blasting a
new MTV őreality showŒ called őJersey
Shore,Œ which highlights the antics of
Italian-American beachgoers living in
a rented beach house. Promos for the
show call the participants the őhottest,
tannest, craziest GuidosŒ who őkeep
their hair high, their muscles juiced and
their ſsts pumping all summer long!Œ
UNICO says őJersey ShoreŒ fosters
crude stereotypes, highlighting cursing,
bad behavior and violence, and wants

School in South Los Angeles is 93

Simpson, tattooed NBA thug Dennis
Rodman, and celebrity drag queen

offended and complained to the local

who has two daughters at the school.
[Christina Hoag, 3 LA Teachers Re-
moved Over Choice of Black Heroes,

The suspended teachers are said to be
white men, but we are skeptical. How
many white men teach at elementary
schools that are 90 percent Hispanic?
On March 8, when this issue was going
to press, the web page for Wadsworth
Elementary was not working. When
we telephoned to ask if the suspended
teachers were Hispanic, the woman who
answered the phone refused to talk about
the incident at all.
őHateŒ at UCSD
The University of California at San
Diego (USCD) is in turmoil over a series
of őracistŒ incidents. The ſrst was on
February 15, when a white fraternity
reportedly held a őCompton Cookout.Œ
Invitations suggested that men wear a
őwhite T (size XXXL smallest accept-
able).Œ Women were asked to come as
őghetto chicksŒ who ődonŏt speak well,
have short, nappy hairŒ and őusually
have gold teeth, start ſghts and drama,
and wear cheap clothes.Œ Guests report-
edly őate watermelon and fried chicken,
drank malt liquor, and listened to rap
Campus blacks, lefties, race hustlers,
and grievance-mongers all shrieked.
They held emergency meetings and is-
sued proclamations and demanded more
giveaways for blacks. The reaction was
so hysterical that a USCD student-run
humor publication The Koala, mocked
the party: őThe Koala would like to
condemn the organizers of the Comp-
ton Cookout. If history has shown us
anything, you need more black people
at your party to have enough black-
on-black violence to actually justify
the name 'Compton.' Shame on you.
SHAME.Œ Student body president Utsav
Gupta was so shocked by this that he
shut down 33 student-run groups.
On February 25, someone hung a
noose inside the campus library. Out-
raged students marched on Chancellor
Marye Anne Foxŏs ofſce and occupied it
for six hours. At UC Berkeley, students
set trash cans on ſre and broke into a
library, where they smashed windows
and sprayed grafſti.
UCSD Chancellor Fox launched a
őBattle Against HateŒ website,
where she fumed about őthese
horriſc and repugnant acts.Œ She
promised to meet with blacks and
lather more favoritism on them.
Unfortunately for everyone in-
volved, nothing was as it seemed.
The őCompton CookoutŒ was not
held by a white fraternity, but by
a black comedian named Nipsey
Washington, who uses the stage name
Jiggaboo Jones. He says he's been
throwing similar parties across the
country for years. Some of them he
calls őNigga Nights.Œ Mr. Washington
pestered the university and the local
media with the truth, but they ignored
him. They were not about to let the facts
ruin a iuicy story about őracism.Œ
Likewise, it turns out the student who
hung the noose is őa minority student
who sympathizes with the students that
have been affected by the recent issues
on campus.Œ No matter. UCSD is still
seething with racism and blacks will get
more coddling.
The saga continues. On March 1,
someone put a white pillowcase over
the head of a campus statue of Theodore
Geisel, otherwise known as Doctor
Seuss. There is no evidence that this
had anything to do with őracismŒ but
university police say it looks like a Klan
hood and are trying to get DNA and ſn-
gerprint evidence from the pillowcase to
bring the perpetrator to justice. [Ellison

Felony Littering
The University of Missouri at Co-
lumbia is in uproar because two white
students scattered cotton balls outside
the campus black culture center during
Black History Month. The students,
21-year-old senior Zachary Tucker and
19-year-old freshman Sean Fitzgerald,
were arrested in early March and charged
with one count each of őtamperingŒ in
the second degree (whatever that is),
with hate crime enhancements—which
makes it a Class D felony.
Blacks say the cotton balls were an
overt act of racism intended to intimi-
date them by invoking slavery. The two
suspects say it was an innocent prank,
for which they have apologized. Uni-
versity chancellor Brady Deaton has
temporarily suspended the students, but
the black cultural center's director wants
them expelled.
On March 1, there was a forum for
people who wanted to worry about race
relations, which are said to be poor on
the 30,0000-student campus. Three
hundred people turned up, which means
only one percent were worried enough
to attend. [Janese Heavin, Two Students

Laith Alani is an Iraqi who immi-
grated to Britain as a child more than
20 years ago. In 1990, Mr. Alani sought
to have a tattoo—a picture of an eagle
above the words őRepublic of IraqŒō
removed from his arm because he sud-
denly discovered that such adornment

was against his religion. The British
health service referred Mr. Alani to two
plastic surgeons, Michael Masser and
Kenneth Paton. During the consulta-
tion, Mr. Alani attacked the surgeons,
stabbing them to death. After his arrest,
Mr. Alani told police, őIt was a com-
mand from Allah. I have had visions
from Allah and you can't be more right
than Allah.Œ
At trial, Mr. Alani pleaded guilty
to manslaughter due to diminished
responsibility—he has been diagnosed
as a paranoid schizophrenic—and was
confined indefinitely to a maximum
security psychiatric hospital. Doc-
tors began treating Mr. Alani with the
anti-psychotic drug clozapine ten years
ago, and say he has improved. He was
transferred to a less secure facility in
2005, and in 2008, moved to a 12-bed
residential care home in preparation
for release.
At that point, the British Home Of-
ſce said it would send Mr. Alani back
to Iraq, in keeping with Prime Minister
Gordon Brown's pledge to deport
criminal aliens after they complete
their sentences. Mr. Alani appealed the
deportation order to Britain's Asylum
and Immigration Tribunal, where a
panel led by immigration judge Lance
Waumsley ruled that deporting Mr.
Alani would violate his human rights
and also endanger the people of Iraq.
The panel argued that in Iraq he would
probably not get his clozapine and could
go crazy and attack people. The ruling
adds that deporting Mr. Alani would
violate his right to a private and family
life because he moved to the UK with
his parents as a child. Dorothy Paton, Dr.
Patonŏs widow, is appalled. őI think he
should be deported,Œ she says. őI argued
that at the time of the trial. I think he is
going to be a danger to people in Britain.
He is a dangerous man.Œ
The Asylum Immigration Tribunal
routinely overturns attempts by the
Home Ofſce to deport foreign criminals.

have used similar arguments to stay in
Britain. [David Barrett, Killer Can't Be

Too White
Vancouver, British Columbia, is
one of Canada's most diverse cities;
non-whites, called ővisible minoritiesŒ
in Canada, make up 51 percent of the
population. The city transformed itself
into a majority non-white city virtually
overnight; as recently as 1981, it was 93
percent white. A third of the population
is Chinese, which has given rise to nick-
names like Hongcouver and Vankong.

L'Autre Dumas is a new French
ſlm that tells a ſctionalized story of
19th century French author Alexandre
Dumas's relationship with his assistant,
Auguste Maquet. Maquet worked out
the plots for some of Dumas's most fa-
mous works, such as the Count of Monte
Cristo and the Three Musketeers, and
Dumas ſlled in the dialogue and other
details. The movie is being criticized by
non-whites, some Dumas experts, and
black organizations for casting legend-
ary French actor Gérard Depardieu in
the title role. Dumas, the grandson of a
former Haitian slave, was one-quarter
black. He was mocked for his African
features and he called himself un nègre.
Mr. Depardieu appears in the ſlm with
wooly hair and darkened skin, but he is
a blond, blue-eyed white man.
őIn 150 years time could the role of
Barack Obama be played in a ſlm by a
white actor with a fuzzy wig? Can Mar-
tin Luther King be played by a white?Œ
asks Patrick Lozès, the president of
the Council of Black Associations of
France. His group says the producers
missed a chance to celebrate ethnic
diversity and remind the world of the
Dumas's Haitian origins. It also says
the ſlm gives Maquet too much credit
and takes away from the quadroon's
achievements: őPossibly for commercial
reasons they are whitewashing Dumas in
order to blacken him further,Œ the group
says, somewhat incoherently.
Both the producer and director defend
the choice of Mr. Depardieu. őThe vivid-
ness of Depardieu is the perfect embodi-
ment of Dumas,Œ says producer Frank
Le Wita. Director Safy Nebbou, who is
multiracial himself, says, őIt would have
been an historic error to have chosen a
mixed-blood actor . . . [Dumas] had blue
eyes like Depardieu.Œ [Charles Brenner,

MOST WANTED: DRILLING DOWN/TELECOMMUNICATIONS; Young, Hip -- and Talkative
By SUSAN STELLIN
Published: August 26, 2002
Young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 talk on their cellphones longer and use their phones more frequently than wireless subscribers over all statistics that will not surprise any parent who has had a college student home for the summer.
According to a survey conducted by Harris Interactive and the wireless market research company Telephia, 35 percent of 18-to-24-year-olds use more than 500 minutes a month, compared with 20 percent of all cellphone users who exceed the 500-minute mark. And 62 percent of wireless users in that age group make or receive five calls or messages daily, versus 47 percent of all wireless subscribers.
People in this age group may become more attractive to wireless providers as their propensity to switch carriers has declined from a 22 percent so-called ''churn risk'' six months ago, according to Telephias proprietary formula, to 16 percent now. That is still higher, though, than the 12 percent churn risk for wireless users overall.
John Dee Fair, vice president for customer insight at Telephia, said young adults were more likely to switch carriers because they moved more often than the general population and also were more likely to change providers for better rates. But because of their high wireless use particularly of new wireless data services, ''everybody's looking at this category,'' Mr. Fair said. ''This is where a lot of new wireless subscribers are coming from.'' SUSAN STELLIN

David and Victoria Beckham's son Brooklyn training with Manchester United
- From: AP
- November 01, 2013
The prospect of the name "Beckham'' appearing on the back of a Manchester United shirt has grown closer.
Sections of the British media reported Friday that Brooklyn Beckham, the son of United great David, was invited to a training session at the club on Thursday.
The 14-year-old Brooklyn was accompanied by his father and could return for further sessions.
United said the club couldn't comment for child protection reasons.
Brooklyn has already had spells with two other Premier League teams, Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers, and played for a Los Angeles Galaxy youth team during his father's time in the MLS.
David Beckham left United in 2003 after winning six Premier League titles and the Champions League.

Culture war brewing over ethnic studies in Tucson schools
The décor of Curtis Acosta's classroom and some of the core principles that he is teaching in his Latino Literature class at Tucson High Magnet School represent the impact points in the upcoming clash between state education officials and the Tucson Unified School District over the curriculum used in the district's Mexican-American Studies program.
At any point after the law takes effect Jan. 1, Arizona school officials may decide that the Tucson Unified School District is not complying with HB2281, a law passed by the Arizona Legislature this year that puts restrictions on ethnic studies courses, such as those offered as part of the Mexican-American Studies program in Tucson.
