“Claiming that AMREN (American Renaissance) is anti-immigrant, racists, neo-nazi white supremacist and bad for America, activists protested a conference AMREN held at the Dulles Airport Crowne Plaza Hotel in Herndon, Virginia Saturday, February, 23, 2008.”
A 10-minute video at YouTube mostly depicting protesters, but including a short interview with one Conference attender.
AR’s influence over the immigration debate, according this video, was characterized by one protester thus: “American Renaissance is not just part of the anti-immigration campaign. They are the anti-immigration campaign.”

The “anti-racist, anti-fascist” crowd stands exposed here for what it really is: A rag-tag and bobtail gaggle of losers, screaming mindless slogans, led by a jumped-up, overweight, loud-mouthed African who obviously has no idea what American Renaissance is really about.
The corporal’s guard of thugs accuses AmRen of preaching intolerance, yet tries to deny the organization its right under a free society to meet in a public place, reserved and paid for in advance. And I don’t know who the people were who did the taping, or what their sympathies were, but isn’t it interesting that they apparently made no attempt to go into the conference and tape some of what really transpired, rather than accepting the thugs’ version of it. Typical media distortion.

American Renaissance is not just part of the anti-immigration campaign. They are the anti-immigration campaign.
Wow that’s quite an endorsement!

I love Amren more and more every day. Keep up the good works. I hope you just keep getting more and more publicity and support, you deserve it.

Isn’t labeling anti-immigration forces ‘racist’, an admission that immigration itself has a racial component to it?
What the enlightened never bring up is how racism can be a two-way street. Non-whites, who are probably ‘racist’ already (I don’t doubt that immigrants are more backward, ignorant and racist than the citizens they are displacing before they even arrive here - simply observe the nations they are leaving behind and the average ‘educational’ achievement there) these immigrants are then encouraged to segregate and think in racial terms after they arrive: They are inspired to be racist.
The media must convince us of that which is the opposite of the truth. To hear the establishment tell it, it’s always and only whites who are racist against non-whites. The fact is, most whites have already been exposed to the racism of non-whites. They may not be able to put their objections into words, but deep down they are against immigration, because they’ve already been exposed to the racism of non-whites, they don’t want to experience more.

Move over Rush Limbaugh Jared Taylor is now running the country.How is it that I missed all the times that Jared taylor must have appeared on Lou Dobbs.It is amazing who these people pick to be the anti-immigrant boogey men.Dis anyone recall Janet moogoogaipan invoke Hal Turner as an example of the “Wave of Hate” which was stopping the move to give amnesty to illegal aliens.It was priceless to see that Lou Dobbs had no idea who Hal Turner was.

After 7 or 8 minutes of incoherent rambling, we get the attendee who completely puts him to shame with calm and cogent thoughts. God, I’m glad I was there.

I bet you these same hypocrites wouldn’t object to a hispanic or black racist group coming there, would they?
Posted by at 7:31 PM on February 26
From the black who was literally babbling about nonsense, with contradictory, foolish statements to the loudmouth scrufty-looking Hispanic on the bullhorn, to the final Hispanic character with the bullet head, they were their own worst enemies.
They accomplished nothing except to make absolute fools of themselves. Even the noise wasn’t a distraction to anyone but those within their sorry group.
And they proved absolutely nothing except that it’s still possible to get a wee handful of mentally disturbed oddballs to protest something, no matter what it might be.

An interesting event: the protesters outside chanted death to the Amren Nazis, while their brothers inside, the spies, were working overtime and staying up late trying get someone, particularly the young attendees, to say or agree to theoretical violence against the minorities and government.

Talk about a double standard!! I think Whites should protest, because this isn’t “considered equal”. Whites should take have to put up with this double standard.

The Youtube vid in question, like all the other Youtube videos I’ve seen with Jared Taylor or the AR, makes the AR look like the voice of reason in contrast to hot-headed left-wing PC windbags. If anyone knew anything about rhetoric anymore, they would be able to see that one side is capable of making arguments (Taylor) and the other uses every logical fallicy in the book. However, when someone says “race” common sense goes out the window.

These people are the reason why Amren exists. Perfect examples of low IQ, imcomplete thought, and obnoxiousness. Sign me up for 2010!

Translation-whites go home and watch your country gain 3rd world status.
Posted by at 9:54 PM on February 26
I think the reason that more Whites are not counterprotesting to the extent I feel should be is because the vast majority are living comfortable lives. I just cannot fathom why more Whites are not speaking out against the egregious double standard in multi-culti America.

That black guy ranting on was too much!
He doesn’t seem to know that the CoCC and Amren are different groups.

“They have no right to be here.”
Who? Illegal Mexican aliens, right?
Posted by jujo at 12:23 AM on February 27
I watched the video and it made me laugh and laugh. The anti-white crowd consisted either of individuals who had nothing to say and were therefore simply shouting slogans or who were reacting against their own imaginings.
Clearly, they have greatly overestimated the influence of Amren. We have millions upon millions of illegal aliens because Amren has driven them all out(?!), right? I can’t even write that sentence so it makes sense!
It’s never so obvious that multiculturalism is barking madness than when it’s most rabid proponents come out in force.

Trying to reason with those idiots is like trying to reason with a guy robbing a convenience store, they are here for what you have.

Why does the black guy thing we want to take away black suburbs and prevent black people from having power?
I don’t feel that way at all. I love to see blacks succeed and prosper in their own communities. I just wish it would happen more often.
I have no problem with black political leaders either, providing they’re honest, qualified, and share my conservative values.
Nor do I yearn for Jim Crow. I oppose miscegenation, but I don’t mind drinking from the same fountain as black folks.
Its shocking to me that people can just tell outright lies about an organization like that and feel no compunctions about it.

While this was going on, Tavis Smiley held the “Black State of the Union” or whatever meeting. It was on C-span(no such luck for the racist AmRen) and sponsored by the likes of Exxon and Mcdonald’s. The ususal collection of black “intellectuals” bashing America and whitey- the Reverends, including farrankan, but the biggest buffon of all had to be Cornell West. Honestly, this guy looks like the typical inner-city black I see standing on a street corner. And when he opens his mouth he sounds like the typical inner-city black; he babbles a bunch of nonsense. It’s just hard to believe this guy is a Professor at Princeton.

“I bet you these same hypocrites wouldn’t object to a hispanic or black racist group coming there”
Saying ‘Hispanic racist group’ is a bit redundant isn’t it? Isn’t ‘Hispanic group’ enough? Any such racial group fits the very definition of racism. Organizing by race is merely the tip of the iceburg. Racism begins by simple racial-identification, by identifying individuals by their race. End this constant racism in ever small town, school, newspaper article, company, and government building, or allow whites the same and equal privilege, by encouraging them, helping them, and paying them to be as racist as they can possibly be. And don’t even get me started on doing this in accordance with the principles of affirmative action, making up for past injustice.

Does this poster — or anyone else who attended — have further info on spies or moles or Fifth Columnists INSIDE the Conference and/or the hotel?
I’m sure I’m not the only reader who’d love to hear the details…

Daryle Lamont Jenkins seems to be a hobby counterprotestor. I met him a while ago at a rally we held at the German embassy to demand freedom of speech. He used the same lines he used in that interview. It almost seems that’s all he knows.
Nonkonformist: Daryle, why are you here today protesting against people who stand up for freedom of speech?
Jenkins: These are Nazis, it does not matter what they stand for.

Typical fat ignorant, racist black man in the video. Who cares what he thinks? Why don’t most whites stand up and say, “we really don’t care to hear what a black man has to say on the issue, thank you. Your opinions mean nothing to us”

While whites rights have been subordinated to all others, we are forced to stand by and watch corps support the destruction of our country. It is time to call our enemies home. V

He’s typical of black academians and those who are considered professionals.
I’m amazed every time I watch and listen to one of them on television. If they were white, they would come across as some kind of dimwitted fools, with a rare exception here and there. Bill O’Reilly is famous for going to so-called black professionals for opinions in order to prove to the left he’s not biased, but they’re just not knowledgable people. Oh, they run off at the mouth quite easily, but what they say and the transparency of their lack of reasoning is pretty obvious.
Also pretty obvious is the fact that affirmative action is responsible for their “achieving,” both in acceptance and grades. And the dumbed down curriculum helps them immeasurably get credit for completing work without actually learning it.
Just look at this Michelle Obama. Her college thesis is an excellent example. She was given considerable assistance on it, but it’s still a piece of brainless nonsense. The subject matter is on a par with a physical education major who is accepted because they need him to play a sport of some kind.
She is presently earning in the neighborhood of $350,000 annually and is on the corporate board of at least one corporation, but I’m willing to give ten to one odds that if you engaged her in a conversation that required her to express her ideas, opinions, and various concepts on intellectual matters, she would come across as an absolute dimwit. Everything she has allegedly “accomplished” is a typical gimme awarded to just another black incompetent.
The corporate world and politicians are pressed to place these people into slots they’re unqualified for at huge salaries, because they’re trying to do whatever is necessary to prevent large scale riots which will jeopardize their wealth.
Expect more of the same UNTIL the economy starts to seriously go downhill and the government and corporate greed mongers can no longer carry them free of charge.
We’re at the beginning stages of that right now. The next few months will decide if this whole charade will continue on, crippling the nation as it has so far, or collapse altogether.

Good job amren! I’m so glad I am not the only one out there who is concerned (distressed/dismayed,etc) about living in the modern day (anti-european- descended, intellectually dishonest) world. Kudos to the participants for their bravery, I sincerely hope the tide is turning.

The bottem line is Black people would dread the day they could not be amongst White people, they would dread the day that they had to work out their own destiny without the help of the White man, they would dread the day they could’nt have access to race traitor White females. In fact this might be the Black mans real problem… that he hates the fact that he is codependent on a race he wants to blame for all his woes yet needs desperately.
Posted by Petrarch at 7:42 PM on February 27
I don’t care what blacks or hispanics sic think on any issue. I do not consider them Americans. I consider them tools of the global elite who want to destroy and rape America.
I don’t buy from nonwhite salespeople where they would earn a commission. If more people made the white choice with their dollars maybe diversity wouldn’t seem to be such a blessing to businesses. I fired two lawn care services who sent the remnants of Pancho Villa’s gang to cut my grass. I told them why too!
I finally have a white owner-op who does a great job and we even talk about Amren. Can’t beat that!

Really?! Since when does Mr. Taylor or American Reniassance hold any political clout or political power? Must’ve missed that one. Ah, another loudmouth black man starving for attention on the ‘race issue’. Yawn.

I ran into some new world order people. I had a few beers and they started talking about how wonderful it would be if there were no races. How wonderful if everyone just melded together.
Of, course the two were mixed races. I sat silently for a bit
and then said,
“I think the races are beautiful and they should stay such.”
They threatened to slit my throat.

Though we have no way to prove whether this little story is true or not, does anyone doubt it as a possibility? Not me.
I used to make a little joke to my sister whenever we heard the song “Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” by U2
Whenever he sang the line “I believe in Kingdom come, when all the colors bleed into one” I used to look at my sister and say,
“No wonder he still hasn’t found what he’s looking for.”
Being the dedicated sentimentalist, my dear sister used to look at me and say,
Oh, you’re SO mean!
All these years later my sister has pretty much gone off the radar screen in terms of her sentimentality IN SPITE OF THE FACT that she married a man from the country of our parents, Ireland, has a beautiful daughter who looks like a blend between the both of them (she’s as stunning as she is white) and hasn’t a single black friend. On a happy note though, her attempt to befriend the Mexican immigrants in the small and pristine town where she lives was unsuccessful from two directions, 1- her friends and neighbors were livid, and let her know exactly why (that’s gotta be a good sign folks) 2- more importantly, the Mexicans she tried to befriend were not very receptive.
Guess my sister, like her equally sentimental hero, Bono (who I refer to as the PT Barnum of Rock and Roll) still haven’t found what they’re looking for, because what they’re looking for - Heaven On Earth - doesn’t exist.
My sister also refuses to talk about her own family, the one the both of us come from, in spite of the tragedies that have befallen us as a result of years of multi-generational abuse and neglect. She can not, will not, see, that this background has done much to fuel her sentimentality, which operates like a defense mechanism - as all beliefs do when you get down to it - against an upleasant reality. It’s also interesting that Bono, and many other Rock Stars, come from something similar, ie; suffer from some family trauma, the effects of which are never addressed. Just look at John Lennon. Is the fact that they gave us such great music supposed to make us ignore their dribble. If you want a cure for this sort of gullibility read Plato’s Apology, where Socrates talks about the dangers of believing that someone gifted in one thing is necessarily gifted in everything else. Even then people were warning us against what the professionals refer to as Codependency.
But Utopianist and Utopianism is THE addiction that dies harder than any other known to man.
When is it going to dawn on them that trying to create something that doesn’t exist, can’t exist, creates more problems than it solves?
I believe in a day when people like my sister and Bono and billions of others give up their redemtionist fantasies and accept the FACT that our personal beliefs are not to be confused with ultimate truths. The best we can ever do is learn to negotiate between our beliefs and the reality they are designed to help us live in.
I guess as long as we continue to allow ourselves to be led by the nose of our redemtionism people like me will never find what they’re lookin for.
But that is no excuse for not living in reality. Now I can see why George Orwell refered to the ability to face unpleasant facts as – a power. Ironic as it may sound, aquiring the power to face facts is the very source of my cheerfulness.

Excellent comment. Very perceptive. The plain fact is, people make their own heavens and hells right here on this earth. And those are the only ones they will ever see.
