“some of you many have wondered about the League of the South, and what our connection to that organization actually is”

In the midst of our current controversy with our local intoleristas, some of you many have wondered about the League of the South, and what our connection to that organization actually is. Steve Wilkins, whom you know, has served as a director for the organization. When the group was first formed Steve told them a couple things that bear on our situation here. First, he said the group had to be explicitly Christian or he could not be associated with it. He also told them that it could not be racist in any way, and if anything like that showed up, he was out of there. Steve has recently resigned from their board of directors, but *not* because there was any problem with the conditions above. Rather, it was the result of changing priorities. Some of the thinking about those changing priorities might be made clearer through something I recently wrote on the subject, which I have included for you below. Just consider this free information, and if you can use it, great.

  1. Head over to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s page on League of the South. splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/league-south to learn more about hiding racism behind pseudo academic respectability.

    “He [Wilkins] also told them that it could not be racist in any way, and if anything like that showed up, he was out of there. Steve has recently resigned from their board of directors, but *not* because there was any problem with the conditions above.”

    This gives new meaning to the expression “strain credulity”. It also highlights how DW cloaks egregious and abhorrent beliefs with an academic or religious veneer.
