It\u2019s the rule that has played out before, and we keep trying to tell the AmRen folks this: Our way has always been that if the AmRen Conference doesn\u2019t get shut down, we\u2019ll just wait to see what happens when people find out that you attended. You can ask ex-New York prosecutor Michael Reagan, and now you can ask former National Review writer Robert Weissberg.<\/p>\n

For the second time in a week, the conservative publication National Review has fired a longtime writer for racist statements. This time, Robert Weissberg, who is also a professor emeritus at the University of Illinois, was let go from the National Review blog Phi Beta Cons after his remarks at the American Renaissance Conference, which was held just outside Nashville, TN last month.<\/p>\n
According to Rich Lowry, editor of the National Review, the magazine had to take action after it was learned what Weisserg said at the conference. \u201cUnbeknownst to us, occasional Phi Beta Cons contributor Robert Weissberg (whose book was published a few years ago by Transaction) participated in an American Renaissance conference where he delivered a noxious talk about the future of white nationalism,\u201d he said in a statement<\/a>. \u201cHe will no longer be posting here. Thanks to those who brought it to our attention.\u201d<\/p>\n Weissburg was one of the featured speakers at the 2012 AmRen Conference, which was their first after two years of being canceled when venues shut their doors to the event in the Washington, DC and Charlotte, NC area after calls of outrage. There, he had promoted the ideas of preserving and defending those areas in the country that are exclusively white- which he called \u201cWhiteopias\u201d – in order to preserve the white race. \u201cThis approach to maintaining whiteness has the advantage that people can make a living catering to whites in their enclaves,\u201d he said according to a recap of the conference on the AmRen website.<\/p>\n Weissberg has spoken at the American Conferences before. In 2000, at the AmRen Conference that year, which was attended by former Klansman David Duke and former National Alliance member Ron Doggett, he spoke on the relationship between Blacks and Jews, defending a Jewish racial slur towards blacks as not as bad as the n-word.<\/p>\n
