Visionaries:

I must respectfully disagree with Douglas on this point. He offers
congratulations too soon. I checked the SPLC's web site, and we have
unfortunately not received the really plum award yet: getting a pin on the
"hate map." When that happens, I will know we are really cool.

Cheers,

Visionaries,

The Southern Poverty Law Center has posted the University of Idaho on their 
"super-accurate" Hatewatch. Why? Because the UI is sponsoring a conference 
that defends slavery.

How many people on this list work for that particular hate group? Not me. 
But I think Raul does.

Way to go, Daily News! Way to go, Statesman!

Cordially,

Douglas Wilson

Title:
Pair to give their 'biblical' defense of slavery at U of I conference


Article published:

The (Boise) Idaho Statesman
http://www.idahostatesman.com/Story.asp?ID=521


Summary (appeared on
http://www.splcenter.org/intel/hatewatch/hatewatch.jsp):

The university of Idaho will sponsor a history conference featuring Church 
Christ pastor Doug Wilson, co-author of "Southern Slavery, As It Was," 
which uses the Bible to defend slavery.


Full description taken from Idaho Statesman article (appeared on Hatewatch 
item page):

Raul Sanchez and Doug Wilson have very different views on slavery.

The two perspectives will clash early next year when Wilson and Louisiana 
minister Steve Wilkins arrive on the University of Idaho campus.

Wilson and Wilkins co-authored the booklet, "Southern Slavery, As It Was," 
which gives a biblical defense of the institution that uprooted millions of 
Africans from their homes and separated families.

Sanchez, director of diversity and human rights at the university, decided 
to research the Christ Church-sponsored conference in February that 
features the authors discussing history and slavery.

"Slavery as it existed in the South was not an adversarial relationship 
with pervasive racial animosity," the booklet reads. "Because of its 
dominantly patriarchal character, it was a relationship based upon mutual 
affection and confidence. There has never been a multi-racial society which 
has existed with such mutual intimacy and harmony in the history of the
world."
