CofCC’s Jared Taylor on Dylann Roof: “This Guy Is Not a Credit to His Race”

It seemed to me something that was unlikely to occur without some sense of dislocation, and loss and adjustment by at least some whites.
Between 2000 and 2008, I attended four of the biennial American Renaissance conferences outside D.C., white nationalist gatherings at which I was the only reporter from a mainstream news organization who attended them from start to finish, or really, for any more than a few hours, if at all.
I attended them because, while they appeared to be confined to a marginal, right-wing, white racial fringe, I thought that they were articulating a sense of white racial consciousness and white racial grievance that might shed light on thoughts and feelings other whites were having without explicitly expressing or even fully realizing or recognizing them; that these gatherings were, in that sense, the canary in the coalmine of white racial reaction to their eroding majority status.
I thought the gatherings would also help me sort out what seemed to be a kind of shadow continuum between this unrespectable fringe and the more legitimate precincts of right-wing Republican politics.
