To deny the legacy of vicious white supremacy inexorably intertwined in this country's history, and indeed it's still-alive undertones would be to deny reality of the contributions to the arrested development of American democracy and to deny the importance of humility and national self-reflection in a democratic society.

But to deny the fact and the extremes to which the White Western Society went to end slavery is to deny the very same things. Britain sailed the seas to end slavery, the United States fought a civil war. Furthermore to claim in today's society that only those of the white race can be racist is to deny racism altogether. Racism is prejudice against an individual based upon the individual's race, period. Any other requirements make the claim null and void.

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
