ResistingDefamation.Org’s Bo Sears Insists VDARE.COM Stop Slurring White Americans; Peter Brimelow Wonders If He’s A Mole; etc.
From:
Bo Sears:
(e-mail
him)
Re:
Chilton Williamson’s Column: My Two Mexicos
We're concerned about this line from a column by
Williamson about his new book
Mexico Way that VDARE.COM posted.
Here is the offending line:
“Mexico Way recounts
the grueling adventures of a naďve and sheltered white-bread American
male who arrives at a belated coming-of-age through a
terrifying ordeal...."
"White bread" is a well known abusive term for
the diverse
white American men and
women, originating in the entertainment centers
of
New
York and
Los Angeles, going as far back as The Dick Van Dyke Show
which regularly made snarky jokes about "white-bread
and mayonnaise" as blatant put-downs of white
Americans.
We respectfully ask you to eschew terms that denigrate
us.
Sears’ website is resistingdefamation.org.
Its stated purpose is
"To combat
slurs, hate caricatures, and negative stereotypes
expressed against the diverse white American peoples,
especially young white Americans.". A previous
letter is
here.
Peter
Brimelow replies:
Earlier this week, Sears also sent the following to his
e-mail list (including me):
“What's going on at
VDARE.COM?
It claim to speak on behalf of the cultures of the
diverse white American peoples,
but then they turn around and tell us we are ‘anglos’. That label strips us of our diversity and our nationality, and
emphasizes the use of the Spanish-language ‘anglo’
over any label we choose for ourselves.
“It may be that
VDARE.COM believes that the Spanish-language ‘anglo’
is a tip-of-the-hat to one (Anglo-Saxon)
of the many ethnicities that make up our diverse white
American peoples, but it is really a Spanish-language
term of abuse and denigration.
“And here they go again. The
VDARE.COM daily
letter is headlined, ‘A New Mexico Reader On Bill
Richardson's Chameleon-like Ability To Be Hispanic Or
Anglo Depending On The Audience,’ and you can read it at
here.
‘Surprise! The letter writer doesn't label us ‘anglo,’
he actually uses the contrasting terms
‘Hispanic’ and
‘true blue’ Americans. It was our friends at
VDARE.COM who
changed the ‘true blue’ to ‘anglo’ in the headline. Now why would it do that?
“I guess they don't want
contributions from the diverse white Americans who have
a decent sense of self-respect.”
I have
repeatedly said that VDARE.COM is a forum site and
will publish writers of any persuasion who are critical
of America’s
immigration disaster. We have taken
great risks by publishing writers like
Jared
Taylor and
the
late Sam Francis, who can fairly be described as
“white nationalists”
in the sense that they aim to defend the interests of
American whites just as Zionists aim to defend the
interest of Jews and
La Raza the interests of Latinos. I myself have
played the
turnabout is fair play game, for example with regard
to the
War Against Christmas. But I am bound to say that Bo
Sears’ crude use of this tactic often seems to me to go
beyond making a polemical point and actually to become
the paranoid political correctness we are trying to
combat, which is completely counter-productive.
Sears has never acknowledged VDARE.COM’s defense of the
causes he presumably favors. Instead, we get constant
sniping like the above letter. Now he is attacking
VDARE.COM’s fund-raising, although he must realize that
our situation is
desperate, particularly this year.
It seems to me, as I have put to him in an email to
which he has not responded, that his behavior can only
be construed as the actions of a mole.

An Illinois Reader Shares Her War on Christmas
Victory
From:
Brenda Verner (e-mail
her)
Last
Christmas, I
bitterly complained about the
Comcast community bulletin board on my television
cable outlet going politically correct by ending it's
tradition of playing all the varieties of our wonderful
American Christmas music throughout
Advent.
I wrote to our local newspapers.
VDARE.COM posted
my letter about this outrage.
Again, close to May 5th, this year, I
wrote another letter to our local papers asking if
Comcast had traded
Cinco de Mayo for
Christmas because last year they subjected us
to
Mexican music sung in Spanish celebrating a foreign
country's holiday. Yet they found it unacceptable to
celebrate our own culture during
Christmas.
Soon thereafter, all music ceased
on our community bulletin board.
However, on this past November 14th I
turned to Comcast community announcements and was
delighted to hear
Christmas music. I was stunned. (Thank Comcast
here.)
I called my friends to listen in.
In my eyes, Comcast has redeemed itself.
Thanks to millions of Americans and
VDARE.COM readers who not only enjoy our
Christmas music, but also expect that
corporations will reflect who we are as
Americans—that we are a
Christian nation that enthusiastically celebrates
its Christmas traditions.
Brenda Verner is also known as the
Christian Christmas Lady. Her book titled
101 Ways To Have A Christian Christmas is
available at Amazon.Com and
from the publisher, Tyndale House.

A Florida Reader Wonders If Immigrants Have Heard About Birth Control
From: Harriet Osborne (e-mail
her)
Does anyone know what percentage of
macho Mexican males get
vasectomies for birth control or how many Mexican
females get tubal ligations?
If we were to set up a free vasectomy clinic for
Mexican men, would there be a single taker?
As we all know, too many pregnant Mexican females
already have more children than they can care for either
emotionally or financially.
In the 1970s, we were constantly hearing about ZPG—Zero
Population Growth. We
were encouraged to have approximately two children,
replacement level and no more.
Many Caucasians were mindful of this so as not to
overpopulate our country.
But are we the only race that endorses population
control?
Joe
Guzzardi comments: Information about
vasectomies outside of the U.S. is
dated but indicates that historically the process is
uncommon in Mexico. The
numbers who undergo the procedure is described as
“very
modest”. Little information is available about
Mexican-Americans and either vasectomies or tubal
ligation.
From my classroom experience—the students were mostly
women of childbearing age—I gathered that women were
less resistant to the idea of birth control than the
men. Once, during a class I taught to Southeast Asian
refugees, representatives from the San Joaquin County
Health Department came to offer instructions on how to
use condoms. The men walked out in unison.
But since the men dominate in Mexican and Asian
families, their wishes prevail, except in the few cases
where the women secretly took protective measures.
The main reasons that Mexican family size—at least among
the poor— remains large in comparison to American’s is
a) religion and b) a lingering feeling among males that
the numbers of children they father is related to
manliness.
As for
Zero Population Growth, it fell victim to political
correctness and in 2002 changed its name to Population
Connection. Obviously, the United States
can’t have immigration and no population increases. That
was a place ZPG didn’t have the courage to go. Hence,
the organization changed its name and a shifted away
from discouraging immigration into the U.S. as a way to limit population.
On
May 8,
2008, the group officially abandoned the policy of
advocating reduced immigration to the U.S. as a method
of limiting population growth. On that date, it
announced its newly adopted strategy that
states
“Immigration pressures on
the U.S. population
are best relieved by addressing factors which compel
people to leave their homes and families and immigrate
to the United States.”
Population Connection is as worthless in the immigration
wars as the
Sierra Club.

A Missouri Reader Has A Simple Solution To American Job Loss
From: U. G.
Sullivan (e-mail
him)
Re: Edwin S. Rubenstein’s Column:
Immigrants Start Self-Deporting—But American Worker
Displacement Still Massive In Bush Era
Perhaps I am a
simpleton—you are the judge—but I have an idea that some
would consider radical but to me is common sense.
Since 533,000 American jobs were lost in November, why
not
deport 533,000 illegal aliens—particularly
those in the
construction trades.
Problem
solved!
Although I’m not
an economist, I love
America
dearly. I fear that
political correctness and
porous borders are the twin hammers that might
ultimately destroy it.
