I strongly agree, GZ. Jared Taylor of America Renaissance held a press conference yesterday to discuss local government interference with an upcoming AMREN conference planned for Charlotte, NC. He had this to say... An Appeal to the City of Charlotte and to Mayor Pro-tem Patrick Cannonamren.com excerpt: Shortly after he was named US Attorney General, Eric Holder famously called Americans “a nation of cowards” because we do not talk about race, and urged us to “be honest with each other.” AR is 100 percent honest about race—and look how we are treated. Is it a wonder Americans have become cowards on race? We have learned that Charlotte is trying to attract the Democratic convention. What the Democratic Party should say to your city is this: “Democracy thrives on the free exchange of ideas, not on running opponents out of town. As Democrats, who take democracy seriously, we will take our convention to a city that upholds American freedoms, not to one whose leaders trample them.” We think better of Charlotte than this. We call on Patrick Cannon and Warren Turner to consider how their actions soil the reputation of their city. We believe they should support free speech. We believe they should take a stand for genuine tolerance of a genuine diversity of ideas. We call on them to issue an apology to American Renaissance and to make a city-owned property available to us to rent for our conference. It is still not too late to encourage the qualities that made America great, not the totalitarian impulses that Americans—at least traditionally—have always despised. --- Exactly. People who state unpleasant truths about African-Americans are routinely called racists.
