The stakes could not have been higher.
The Sixteenth American Renaissance Conference was arguably the most important in the organization’s history. In many ways, it is the best of times and the worst of times. More people than ever are showing interest in our cause, the latest scientific research brings new evidence to support our cause almost every week, and across the West, there is a palpable sense of white people awakening to their identity and destiny. At the same time, our cause also faces unprecedented efforts at repression. Before this conference, masked extremists vowed this would be the “last” American Renaissance, fiercely hostile journalists were sharpening their knives, and powerful technology companies continued to deplatform our content.
In short, this American Renaissance conference needed to succeed.
It did.
Over 250 people gathered at the beautiful inn at Montgomery Bell State Park to hear a diverse and exciting collection of speakers. Though antifa promised to “smash” the conference in the most violent terms, police officers and park rangers clearly learned from the mistakes of Charlottesville. Courteous and professional officers prevented antifa from engaging with attendees and there were no unfortunate confrontations of the sort which occurred last year. Those who remained inside the venue did not even see, let alone hear, the couple dozen protesters. Instead, the police and park rangers, through common sense policies and manpower, allowed both our guests and our opponents to peacefully exercise their First Amendment rights in the best traditions of our country.
This conference showed a striking unity of theme throughout the weekend, as speaker after speaker emphasized the need to learn from the mistakes of the past and build on the incredible opportunities of the present. The foundations for a serious, sustainable, and ultimately successful movement were laid this past weekend in the Volunteer State.
In his introductory remarks Friday night, Jared Taylor referred to the “fire taking hold”—the increasing willingness of white people worldwide to finally take their own side and defend their own interests. Fresh from several speaking engagements in Europe, Mr. Taylor chronicled unprecedented progress for our movement globally. He admitted that for the first two decades of his career in white advocacy, he sometimes wondered if he had made a mistake. After all, he said reluctantly, it seemed like nothing was happening. However, the last five years have made it all worthwhile, as more and more high caliber people are awakening to their duty. Both our supporters and our adversaries sense something has been set in motion which cannot be stopped.
On Saturday morning, the conference began with a presentation by Professor Douglas Whitman of Illinois State University explaining the biological reality of race in his lecture “Amazing Racial Differences.” His presentation showcased the incredible diversity of different human populations around the world, showing how different groups evolve different biological characteristics in response to their environment.
Some of these evolutionary adaptations are almost akin to superpowers. Some of the inhabitants of Tierra del Fuego—the frigid region at the tip of South America—showed a remarkable resistance to their bitterly cold environment. European explorers (including Charles Darwin) visiting this population were astonished at how they worked or slept nearly naked in this harsh environment, while whites shivered in heavy furs huddled around fires. “These are tough, tough, tough people, highly physically and physiologically adapted to their environment,” Professor Whitman stated. “If you don’t believe in racial differences, I’d like you to do this. Next winter, take off all your clothes and go sleep outside.” ...
