Jeffrey Imm, who is directly responsible for stifling American Renaissance member’s right to free speech and their right of assembly as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, gets his comeuppance here. Moreover, we are fairly certain more tangible actions are forthcoming. — Ed.

Dear Mr. Imm (pictured right),
You probably know as little about me asI do about you, living on different sides of the planet. However, I wasone of the invited speakers to the American Renaissance conference thathad to be canceled after you and other left-wing groups had harassedthe hotels concerned.
I was practically on my way to theairport for the 19-hour flight from Johannesburg to Washington when Ihad received Jared Taylor’s e-mail informing me that the conference hadfinally been canceled, with the Capitol Skyline Hotel also succumbingto pressure from yourselves.
As an Afrikaner from South Africa, I amtotally astonished at your behaviour and that you even seem to boastabout having prevented the biannual AR “conversation about race” fromtaking place. Did your own president, Barack Obama, not call for a”conversation about race” shortly after taking office?
Americans are privileged to live in acountry with a Constitution guaranteeing freedom of speech by means ofthe First Amendment. Why would you want to undermine that principle bythreatening hotels in Washington with boycotts, “shaming” and evendeath threats?
On your website you state youropposition to “fundamentalism” as presumably practised by some Muslims.However, what about race fundamentalism?
Your opposition to any rational debateon race reminds me of the Spanish Inquisition or Stalin’s Russia, whereonly one set of ideas could be publicly or even privately expressed.Your intolerant, left-fascist attitude affects not only the freediscussion of political ideas, but also science, morality, history andinternational relations. If it were to become universal, humanity wouldgo back to the Dark Ages where anyone voicing dissent from opinionsheld by the masses – or the mass media – would be persecuted.
Given the global clout and influence ofthe United States as the sole remaining superpower, you have a specialresponsibility toward the rest of us living in other parts of the worldwhere we, too, grapple with severe racial problems. Again, if yourscare tactics and intellectual terrorism had to become the norm, theUSA would quickly assume the status of a new Soviet Union, not onlyoppressing its own citizens, but exporting its myopia and intoleranceworld-wide.
Already my country, South Africa, issuffering under a disastrous experiment in social engineering, basedprecisely on American so-called liberal ideas, but which are theantithesis of liberality and classical liberalism. Radical affirmativeaction, the exclusion of whites on racial grounds, as well as raciallymotivated attacks on whites are the stuff of everyday life in SouthAfrica. Stop any white South African in the street. He or she will tellyou.

On 20 December 2006 a pretty,blonde-haired little girl was shot dead just for the hell of it by twoblacks in Randfontein, west of Johannesburg. Danielle Esterhuizen wasonly five years old, sitting on her mother’s lap. On 23 February 2009,16-year old Bernadine Kruger was deliberatly run down and killed by ablack taxi driver on her scooter in Pretoria, while on her way toschool, again simply because she happened to be white and defenseless.Blacks study for free at university while whites have to pay. InNovember last year, the Supreme Court of Appeal, the highest judicialtribunal in South Africa, delivered a stinging judgement against thePretoria municipality that had refused to appoint qualified whiteelectrical engineers and high-voltage electricians, even when noqualified blacks could be found. In their racial zeal, not only didthey endanger the economy of the capital, but they also placed thelives of the public at risk as at least one sub-station had explodeddue to lack of maintenance.
You seem to have taken up the cause ofAfro-Americans, possibly the world’s most pampered minority, with 50%living on welfare provided by the American state. I, on the other hand,belong to a persecuted minority, with daily violence being perpetratedagainst us, our language and culture being suppressed and extirpated inwhat to any sensible person must qualify as a crime against humanity.
The mere fact that Jared Taylornormally invites a white South African to his conferences when most ofthe world tends to ignore our plight, must qualify him as a champion ofhuman rights. At least he concerns himself with a persecuted – and nota pampered – minority. He is a decent, honorable and courteous man whovoices his opinions in an honest and forthright manner.
Your website where you exhort readersto curtail Jared Taylor and American Renaissance’s freedom of speech,is is situated at the domain realcourage.org. How amusing, howOrwellian!
For you precisely lack courage toconfront lies and expose myths. Especially the infantile lies and mythsabout race, your race fundamentalism. If you had had any intention of,as you state on your website, support(ing)… our universal humanrights in all parts of the world”, you would not have engaged invindictive posturing about a gathering of decent, well-behaved racerealists in Washington, but you would have taken up the cause of thewhite South Africans or the white Zimbabweans, ethnically cleansed fromtheir country by Robert Mugabe!
You claim to be “defying racialsupremacism”. But what about black racial supremacism asinstitutionalised in Southern Africa? Would you also have “realcourage” to defy that brand of racial supremacism?
I may be mistaken, but I doubt it verymuch. Your bag of well-worn clichés about white racism might still workwhen you shout “Boo!” at a few timorous hotel managers, but in the realworld, especially outside your own suburb, it is as redundant as KarlMarx’s writings on economic equality.
If I think about the fact that youliterally prevented me and the others to speak at the AmericanRenaissance conference, it is obvious that you are already far advancedin imposing a type of Soviet closure of the mind on the capital of theUSA. Paradoxically, our anti-white racist, black, quasi-Marxistgovernment in South Africa offers me far more freedom of speech thanyou could provide me with as a guest in your country, notwithstandingthe First Amendment. Over here I regularly speak my mind in the press,on the internet and even on the state-owned radio and televisionstations.
Does that not trigger an alarm bellsomewhere, that South Africa’s black government who used to beterrorists, bombing supermarkets and restaurants – they still call eachother “comrade” by the way – could offer one greater freedom of speechthan the, oh so white, “equality activists” of Washington?
