At the still-planned American Renaissance “white nationalist” hate group conference in February in the Washington DC suburb near Dulles Airport in Virginia, one of their scheduled speakers is South African Dan Roodt, who leads a group called PRAAG.

Dan Roodt has published essays in the American Renaissance publications in May and June 2004, titled “Afrikaner Survival Under Black Rule.”

Dan Roodt has sought to defy reports on continuing racial problems in South Africa based on the denial of some white South Africans on the problems of apartheid (as described a report by Christi van der Westhuizen).  In April 2008, BBC reported that “Christi van der Westhuizen, author of ‘White Power and the Rise and Fall of the National Party,’ agrees that a refusal by whites to acknowledge the impact of Apartheid on black South Africans is largely responsible for the current racial tensions.”

In an article (in Afrikaans that we have translated to English), American Renaissance conference speaker Dan Roodt states how “[o]ne can be sure each one of Van der Westhuizen’s statements about how bad apartheid was with statistics and other historical data [can be] refuted.”  We wonder if Dan Roodt will use the Dulles Marriott American Renaissance/New Century Foundation conference for further defense of white supremacist apartheid.
