Racist conference canceled: American Renaissance: Death Threats End Biennial Conference of Controversial Group

Zealots opposed to a meeting to be held by a Virginia non-profit organization have bullied three hotels into cancelling the event, thus making it impossible for the group to hold its biennial conference. American Renaissance (AR), a monthly magazine that has published on race and immigration for 20 years, had scheduled its ninth biennial meeting for the weekend of Feb. 19 through 21.

Opponents then pressured the hotels — leafleting the premises, flooding switchboards with phone calls, finding the home phone numbers of hotel employees and threatening them with death — thus causing the hotels to cancel their contracts to hold the meeting. The last hotel canceled today. More than 250 people had registered for the conference, and guests and speakers were expected from as far away as Britain and South Africa.

American Renaissance has held conferences since 1994. There have been protesters and crank calls, but conferences have always taken place peacefully and successfully.

AR is a race-realist publication edited by Jared Taylor that takes controversial positions:

* That diversity is a source of conflict and not a strength.

* That people of all racial groups prefer the company of people like themselves.

* That Asians are, on average, more intelligent than whites, who are more intelligent than blacks.

This is the same conference Breitbart’s undercover ACORN operative attended.
