I thought you might be interested in the article from the FAIR web site. The following article will be appended to your message: The Right’s 'Race Desk' By Deborah Toler Anyone remotely familiar with conservative think tanks’ diatribes regarding such hot-button race issues as affirmative action (they’re against it), bilingual education (they’re against it), multiculturalism (they’re against it), welfare "reform" (they support it) or tougher criminal sentencing (they support it) would not be surprised by the American Enterprise Institute’s analyses of race issues in the United States. Still, even for the initiated, the ferocity of AEI’s work on race is quite breathtaking. Although the mainstream media are now deploring the overt racism of hate groups such as the Council of Conservative Citizens (see this issue of Extra!), the fact is that there is an overlap between the analyses of "respectable" conservatives, like those at AEI, and the overt racial hatred of white supremacist organizations like CCC. The differences between the hate-mongering of the CCC and mainstream conservative thought should not obscure the fact that both are at base fundamentally concerned with the question of how to manage the "hordes of color" who have long outnumbered Europeans globally, and soon will be the majority in this country. CCC expresses this concern explicitly: "We’re only 9 percent of the world’s population, white Europeans, and our country’s going to majority nonwhite soon," Gordon Lee Baum, the council’s CEO, complained in a Washington Post interview (1/17/99). "Why can’t European Americans be concerned with this genocide? Is that racial to say that?" CCC’s strategy for dealing with this is re-segregation, an attack on interracial marriages, closing U.S. borders to immigrants of color and tacit support of the Ku Klux Klan.
