White Renegade of the Year

Via Matthew

Who did the most damage when he could have done the most good?
Today we inaugurate what we expect to be an annual series. At the end of each year we will profile a white person who could have been a champion for his people, but instead joined the fight against us. 

The White Renegade of the Year can be someone like this year’s award-winner, who attracted and mobilized supporters only to turn on them, or he can be someone who has never shown the slightest sign of racial awareness but who has been especially diligent in working against his own people.

There are so many good candidates that we could make a white renegade award every month—heck, every day—but this year’s inaugural honors go to the junior senator from Kentucky, Rand Paul.

What Might Have Been

“For of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: ‘It might have been!’ ” So we may say of Rand Paul.

Much like his father Ron, the younger Paul was initially a favorite of white advocates, running as a populist, anti-Establishment candidate who strongly opposed illegal immigration. His platform on border security included the construction of an electric border fence—underground. When he beat the odds to enter the Senate, it was as if Tom Tancredo had somehow reached the upper chamber—indeed, Congressman Tancredo endorsed Rand Paul in his Senate run and his Team America PAC donated money to him.
