Dave Agema’s Defense for Posting a Racist Article: I Got It From Allen West, and He’s Black!
By Betsy Woodruff
Former Republican Rep. Allen West posted a white supremacist article last December, and it’s helped create a huge headache for the RNC.
On Dec. 29, West pasted the text of a story called “Confessions of a Public Defender” on his website. That story was originally published at American Renaissance, a white supremacist magazine helmed by Jared Taylor, who seems to feel that “when blacks are left entirely to their own devices, Western civilization — any kind of civilization — disappears.”
West gave the American Renaissance story a ringing endorsement.
“It will take you only 5 minutes to read this article—and I would bet you’ll read it again,” he wrote on his site. “Then ask yourself, is this something you hear Al Sharpton addressing? Or President Obama, Eric Holder, Jeh Johnson or Jesse Jackson?”
“The facts and observations in this are not shocking to me,” West continued. “They are quite well known, but the manner in which the writer so eloquently presents them is quite commendable.”
