Speakers Bail On Texas “War On White America” Event

June 15, 2024 Christianists, Extremists

The Texas Tribune reports:

Multiple speakers and a venue pulled out of a prominent Texas activist group’s July conference after The Texas Tribune reported on its plans to amplify white nationalist figures and rhetoric.

Billed as the 15th anniversary celebration for True Texas Project, the conference agenda claims that there is a “war on white America,” and urges attendees to embrace once-fringe ideologies such as Christian nationalism or the Great Replacement Theory, which claims that there is an intentional, often Jewish-driven, effort to destroy white people through immigration, interracial marriage or the LGBTQ+ community.

On Wednesday, the Tribune reported that the conference lineup features figures with ties to antisemites and extremists, including Paul Gottfried, a far-right author who mentored neo-Nazi Richard Spencer.

Read the full article. There’s a LOT there.

Several of the scheduled speakers are now claiming that they had no idea that the conference would center on racist tropes. Yeah.

As the linked story notes, True Texas is a part of a far-right network financed by a pair of far-right fracking billionaires who are also pastors.

True Texas founder Julie McCarty last appeared here in December 2023 when a local restaurant was harassed into canceling a New Year’s Eve drag event “for the safety of our performers and staff.”
