April 26 dawned as a brilliant spring day in Montgomery Bell State Park just outside of Nashville, Tennessee. It was a perfect beginning for the more than 150 people who enjoyed the inspiring talks, fellowship, and conviviality of the 12th American Renaissance Conference. A band of scruffy “anti-racist” protesters was just the seasoning to make it a recipe for a perfect very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 weekend.
The first speaker was columnist, author, and noted China expert, John Derbyshire. His talk was a fascinating introduction to China and its relations with the United States. He first pointed out the remarkable cultural very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 stability China has enjoyed very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 over a history that may be as long as 5,000 years—if one accepts accounts of semi-mythical early eras.
A striking aspect of China’s national character is conformity, which may be a naturally evolved trait or could have been the result of generations of Chinese rulers systematically killing off anyone with a rebellious streak. Mr. Derbyshire explained that many Chinese proverbs praise conformity and fitting in, as in “The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be cut down.”
Mr. Derbyshire described the early period of Chinese immigration to the United States, which brought mostly manual laborers. Their alienness and their willingness to work for low wages led to the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. This essentially put a halt to Chinese immigration until 1943, when the United States found itself allied with China in the Second World War, and a policy of exclusion was an embarrassment. Even then, quota restrictions limited Chinese immigration to just a few hundred people per year.
The new immigration law of 1965 that abolished nation origins quotas did not immediately lead to a large Chinese influx since the Mao regime let no one out. Immigration began to rise in 1979 with the establishment of relations between the US and China, and picked up greatly after the Tiananmen Square protest of 1989 led to a relaxation of visa requirements. Nearly four million Chinese now live in the United States, of whom more than half are immigrants.
Curiously, a large majority of immigrants come from just one part of the country. In 1970, more than 60 percent of Chinese immigrants were from a single county—Taishan—in a single province: Guangdong. This highly localized immigration continues to this day.
Mr. Derbyshire noted that China has unabashed ambitions to be a superpower, and that it acquires our technology by every possible means. It is fashionable among wealthy Chinese to send children to American universities, where many are deliberately very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 absorbing scientific information that will be useful back home. The Chinese government also runs a huge intelligence-gathering effort in the United States that encourages immigrant and naturalized US citizens alike to pass along classified and corporate-confidential information. This human espionage is now heavily supplemented by computer espionage.
Mr. Derbyshire explained that many Chinese are astonished at the access we give them to our country, and by our willingness to give up so many places in our elite universities very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 to Chinese. China will continue to cultivate its power in all domains and will not be sentimental about any nation or people in its path.
Professor Douglas Whitman of Illinois State University gave an illuminating talk on evolution and the biological reality of race. He began by noting that evolution is constant, and that humans are evolving more rapidly than ever. We have evolved into differentiated groups by exactly the same process as all other species: As soon as one groups splits from another into a new environment, it begins to adapt to that environment.
Prof. Whitman explained the Ninety Percent Rule for determining very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 whether a species is composed of a number of different subspecies in the case of humans, these are called races. If the members very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 of two or more separate groups are mixed together and a layman can accurately sort them back into their original groups with an accuracy of at least 90 percent, then the groups are distinct very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 subspecies. By this standard alone, human races obviously very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 exist, and DNA evidence can further distinguish human subspecies with 100 percent very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 accuracy. As Professor Whitman noted to much laughter, “Anyone who denies this is a slimy Marxist or a complete idiot.”
It is true that 99.5 percent of the genes of every human are the same. However, the human genome is composed of three billion base pairs, which leaves 15 million base pairs—the remaining 0.5 percent—that produce the remarkable differences we find between individuals and groups. Prof. Whitman pointed out that a difference in a single base pair can make a person a dwarf, very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 albino, blind, deaf, or cause any of thousands of diseases. These 15 million base pairs are more than enough to produce striking and consistent racial differences. The result is “tens of thousands of evolved traits that correlate with racial differences.”
Prof. Whitman also pointed out that the only genetic difference between men and women is one chromosome out of 46. Men have a Y where women have an X—and yet the differences between the sexes are enormous.
Our government, explained Prof. Whitman, takes great care to keep all animal subspecies safely in their separate environments. As an example, it is against the law to take an American Kangaroo very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 Rat of one subspecies out of its home environment and put it into the environment of another subspecies because of the noxious effects of displacement and mixture. Needless to say, the government has no such concern for human subspecies.
Prof. Whitman emphasized that molecular biology is bringing new discoveries every day that underline the reality and significance of race. “Science,” he said, “proves that we are right, and that those who deny race are wrong.” very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 There is even increasing very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 evidence that the cherished “out of Africa” theory is wrong—that modern man may well have evolved outside of Africa and then migrated back to Africa.
Evolution very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 resulted in races that Prof. Whitman called “supreme very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 in their environments.” Eskimos are adapted to cold, and Africans are adapted to heat and to African disease. Europeans appear to have been adapted for creativity. They invented the modern world, as well as safe, prosperous very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 societies. It is no surprise that other races want to come live with us and take part of the bounty that their ancestors could not have created.
The great message of evolution, noted Prof. Whitman, is that groups are not equal. We have spent trillions very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 of dollars vainly trying to bring people of all races up to the material level of Europeans. “Race matters, and truth matters,” he declared, and it is high time we accepted the truth rather than hide behind pious lies.
Jack Donovan, author of The Way of Men , and a prominent figure very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 in the “manosphere,” very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 opened his talk by emphasizing his love of diversity—genuine diversity—and pointed out that the people who claim to value diversity are actually destroying it.
He emphasized very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 the role of global capitalism in stripping us of identity and turning us all into interchangeable consumers. Big business is interested only in profits, and the more similar very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 we are, the more easily it can sell us the same mass-produced junk. There is no conspiracy to shear us of our local identities; short-sightedness and greed explain it.
Global markets are created by dissolving local loyalties. “Loyalty of any kind limits your options,” Mr. Donovan explained, “and once there are no social or legal obstacles to disloyalty, it becomes profitable to trade loyalty for opportunity. Discrimination then becomes the only dirty word.” We may lament the effect very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 of all this on our own societies, he said, but should remember that every society is being deracinated. As people everywhere lose their cultures, all that is left are folk dances and ethnic costumes.
The only way to create anything authentic, Mr. Donovan explained, is to discriminate very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 to say “This is for us and not for everyone. This is who we are and what we are about.” very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 He explained that culture is the product of identity and of separateness, adding “I’m here to celebrate diversity and the only honest way to celebrate diversity is to make sure there is real diversity left to celebrate.”
Philip Craik gave what is undoubtedly the first public presentation in the United States by a spokesman for Orania, the all-Afrikaner enclave in South Africa that was established in 1990. Orania was the brainchild of Carel Boshoff, an Afrikaner intellectual and son-in-law of South African Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd. In his view, white minority rule was immoral and black rule was inevitable, very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 but when black rule came, Afrikaners would need a home of their own.
Mr. Craik spoke in detail about the legitimacy of the Afrikaner claim to that home. He pointed out because the initial Dutch foothold dates back to 1652, European settlement in Southern very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 Africa is nearly as old as it is in North America. The centuries that Afrikaners have been on the continent have given them genuinely African roots and a genuinely African identity.
Mr. Craik described the heroic Afrikaner trek into the empty interior, where vast areas had been depopulated by Zulu campaigns very cheap airline tickets in the price range of 100 to 175 of extermination against their tribal enemies. Mr. Craik movingly recalled the Battle of Blood River, and the vow that the Afrikaners made to commemorate that day if God would deliver them from what seemed to be certain annihilation at the hands of 15,000 Zulus.
The concept of Orania, Mr. Craik explained, originated in what was called the Afrikaner Freedom Foundation, which evolved into the Orania Movement. Its founders bought a rundown, abandoned town that had been a camp for construction workers building the Vanderkloof Dam. Orania has since grown to a population of about 1,200 with its own infrastructure and schools, and thrives on farming and light industry.
Another 10,000 or so Afrikaners are members of the Orania Movement and hope eventually to live there.
