If you’re like the me of yesterday afternoon, you don’t know who or what VDARE is. And I’m sorry to remove you from that blissful ignorance.
Send your complaints to The Republican National Convention (I’ve got a tome of them building over here…).
Because yesterday, they ran a promo for VDARE. And it got some attention on Twitter:
Was bound to happen. RNC screens just flashed tweet by VDARE — “an anti-immigration hate website” per @splcenter https://t.co/5LbXP5JPNE

And I thought to myself, Jess: who is VDARE?
I Googled. I saw. I shuddered.
VDARE is short for Virginia Dare, and I took some website screenshots, so you don’t have to click through their site (and give them ad $ by putting more eyeballs on their gross, hateful articles)
I’d say you’re welcome, but really: I’m sorry:
Hey look! You can get your Confederate Flag with a simple donation of $50.00!
“…Europeans created just everything of cultural of technological value…”
Thank a white male, everybody.
Would it be too hard to rename the Republican Party? Because I can’t stand to think of what Abraham Lincoln would think of what’s become of his legacy.
I haven’t had a chance to review the entire site but I plan on doing so pretty soon. BTW, I didn’t have to contribute any $ to sign up. But since you shared this, I will share the following with you. What I do find interesting is that you call their articles were “hateful” yet lend a blind eye to the countless hateful articles here at GMP. Kind of a double standard, yes?
Given the industry I’m in and the fact that I work with many minorities, mostly black, Tommy Sotomayor mirrors their views.
