Nick Griffin to address US white supremacist conference
BNP leader Nick Griffin will join Ku Klux Klan members, neo-Nazis, holocaust deniers, anti-immigration extremists and eugenicists at the white supremacist American Renaissance conference in Virginia next month.
The convicted racist will appear alongside Dan Roodt, author of “Afrikaner Survival Under Black Rule”, David A. Yeagley, author of “What’s Up With Dark Men?”, lawyer to white supremacist groups Sam G Dickson, segregationist Jared Taylor – who believes Martin Luther King “left a legacy of division and resentment” – Raymond Wolters, a ’scientist’ who wishes to conduct experiments into race and IQ, and racist filmmaker Craig Bodeker.
American Resistance, a newsletter published by Taylor, promotes pseudoscientific research which argues that non-whites are genetically and morally inferior; their conference seeks to bring together various right-wing racist people and ideas. Infoshop News adds that:
“The Anti-Defamation League writes that AmRen, “promotes their views by attacking racial, ethnic, and religious diversity, which they call ‘one of the most divisive forces on the planet’ and therefore ‘dangerous’” and that, “many of North America’s leading intellectual racists have written for American Renaissance or have addressed the biennial American Renaissance conferences”.”
A campiagn has been launched to put pressure on the hotel hosting the event to cancel or face a boycott. Yesterday Left Foot Forward reported Griffin’s attempt to use the Haiti earthquake for political gain.

It beggars belief that anyone in Britain will listen to Nick let alone vote him into the European parliament. He has done nothing than to divide Britain along racial lines. This Country has thrived and benefitted from the labour of hard working immigrants. Attending a Conference with KKK and other white supremacist groups only add to the the avaiblable evidence that He is not only racist politically but has a strong and demonic dislike for the Non White race.

“It beggars belief that anyone in Britain will listen to Nick let alone vote him into the European parliament”
Agreed, but tragically the competition are nothing special. When leaders of a Party behave in a dictatorial manner, neglect the poor, carry on doing so when more join their ranks in a recession this is what happens.
A unified center left platform is desperately needed but all communication to the Labour Party Leadership/Cabinet is blocked. I guess one set of “elites” or “supremists” are emulating the other though trying to tell one lot from the other is becoming increasingly challenging.
