Hear we go round the mulberry bush, the mulberry bush, the mulberry
bush. Yes. The Southern Poverty Law Center is lying. I know it's hard to
believe such things about a fat cat group on the other side of the
country. It's so much easier to believe things about a local.

P.S. Dad, I think you should turn yourself in now. Bill London is onto
you. He saw right through all those anti-racist things you said. Right
into your deep, dark, inner aorta.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has exposed the League of the South to be
white supremacist in nature. Or are they lying, too?
It is truly that simple.

I am not representing the Daily News, but I think it is clear that
Doug Wilson and his various buddies are trying to kill the messenger
since they really do not enjoy the message.
The message is that Doug has been exposed as clearly and directly
supporting the abhorrent practice of human slavery. Wilson has lately
been stepping carefully away from what he co-wrote in that booklet
("Southern Slavery: As It Was"). He now says he really meant that
slavery should have been ended without the Civil War, but the book is
quite obvious. Wilson said that human slavery was justified in the
Bible and justified historically by the wonderfully humane system of
slavery developed in the South. Wilson has been exposed writing
blatantly untrue assessments about the nature of Southern slavery (ask
any historian).
Since Wilson is worried about this message getting out, he is
sending out the troops to attack the Daily News as the messenger.
The topic of Wilson's February conference is "Revolution and
Modernity." However, it is accurate for the Daily News to indicate
that a discussion of Southern slavery will be incorporated into the
conference. Wilson and his co-author (Steve Wilkins) from the slavery
book are both featured speakers. In previous years, these annual
conferences sponsored by Wilson's church have included discussions of
slavery whatever the stated focus of that year's conference. Wilson
acknowledged that he expected the topic of slavery to arise at the
February conference as well.
I thought the Daily News article was more than fair to Wilson,
giving him plenty of space to define his views.
Looking back at the published article, I was amused to read again
the subtitle: "Debate, emotions already stirred as preface to February
conference at UI." Yup, that about sums it up.

1. The conference is not on slavery. Never has been. The Daily News
really needs to quit relying on anonymous flyers as part of their

I would like to ask Nathan Alford to respond, or someone at the Daily
News. Who is responsible for misrepresenting our history conference in
this egregious way? What are you going to do about it?

Douglas Wilson
