The Council of Conservative Citizens (CofCC) is an American paleoconservative political organization that supports a large variety of localized grassroots causes including white separatism, and which opposes racial integration,^[1] multiculturalism and political correctness. Some members of the CofCC board of directors are former leaders of the segregationist Citizen Councils of America, founded by Maj. Bob Patterson, which is sometimes referred to as the white citizens council. It is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, and its most active chapter is in Mississippi. Other states with active chapters include Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and New York. Sporadic CofCC activities occur in other parts of the country as well. Paleoconservatism (sometimes shortened to paleo or paleocon when the context is clear) is an anti-communist and anti-authoritarian[1] right wing movement based primarily in the United States that stresses tradition, civil society and classical federalism, along with familial, religious, regional, national and Western identity. ...

History

The CofCC was founded in 1988 in Atlanta, Georgia, and is now headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. The CofCC was formed by various leaders of the Citizens Councils of America, sometimes called "white citizen's council" by the media, the American Populist Party, and others. Lester Maddox, the late former segregationist governor of Georgia, was a charter member.^[2] Gordon Lee Baum is the current CEO. Tom Dover, head of Dover Cylinder Repair is the president.

The CofCC became involved in national politics during the 1990s when it was discovered by journalists and researchers that many politicians, including Bob Barr, had belonged to or spoken at CofCC functions (saying later in Barr's case that he found the groups' racial views to be "repugnant," and didn't realize the nature of the group when he agreed to attend), had either attended the group's meetings, corresponded with its leaders, and/or spoken favorably of it.^[4] Subsequently it was found that U.S. Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott had also spoken at a CofCC meeting. In the ensuing controversy the CofCC was denounced by the Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Jim Nicholson, for holding "racist and nationalist views". Other national and state politicians who have given speeches or attended CofCC meetings include former Senator Jesse Helms, and former governors H. Guy Hunt of Alabama and Kirk Fordice of Mississippi. Former House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt also attended event of the organization's St. Louis predecessor the "Metro-South Citizens Council" shortly before the name change in the mid-1980s an event he has repeatedly referred to as a mistake.^[5] Journalism is a discipline of gathering, writing and reporting news, and more broadly it includes the process of editing and presenting the news articles. ...

Issues

The CofCC considers itself a traditional conservative group opposing liberals and neoconservatives and they also seek to promote some of the ideals of the Confederate States of America. Its specific issues include states rights, race relations, and conservative Christianity. They have attacked Martin Luther King,^[6] Abraham Lincoln, the Civil Rights Movement, and the Frankfurt School on their website. Consistent with paleoconservatism, they regard American culture as an offshoot of the European cultural tradition. The Council of Conservative Citizens is currently fighting against immigration by non-whites, affirmative action and racial quotas, interracial marriage, homosexuality, forced busing for school integration, and gun control. The CofCC also looks favorably towards European nationalist and anti-immigration groups such as British National Party, Front National, and Vlaams Belang.

State chapters

Mississippi

In Mississippi there are several chapters that are working closely with private “academies”. These academies (many of which were originally called “council schools”) in Mississippi are inexpensive private schools that provide whites with an alternative to sending their children to majority-black public schools. Private schools, or independent schools, are schools not administered by local, state, or national government, which retain the right to select their student body and are funded in whole or in part by charging their students tuition rather than with public (state) funds. ...

Council of Conservative Citizens

The Council of Conservative Citizens held mass demonstrations in South Carolina between 1993 and 2000 to keep the Confederate flag on the state house dome. Demonstrations were held in the upstate, down to the tourist coast in Myrtle Coast and Hilton Head Island. The rallies started as a response to NAACP rallies calling for the flag to come down. The CofCC fought a lone battle to keep the flag up for seven years. After a 1999 rally, when the CofCC drew 1,500 demonstrators to the capital, other groups asked to form a coalition. In 2000, a coalition march drew 8,000 people. However, several coalition members endorsed a compromise that led to the flag coming down and being placed in front of the statehouse on the Confederate Soldier statue.

Controversy and criticism

The CofCC is considered by the Southern Poverty Law Center to be part of the "neo-confederate movement." The NAACP, LULAC, SPLC (which lists it as a "hate group"),^[8] ADL, and even some conservative groups, such as CPAC,[3] consider the Council of Conservative Citizens a racist and homophobic organization, pointing to its advocacy of white supremacy. This impression is reinforced by the CofCC's statement of principles, which condemns racial integration (see item 2), immigration by non-Europeans (see item 2), homosexuality, and interracial marriage (see item 6).^[9] The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is an American non-profit legal organization, whose stated purpose is to combat racism and promote civil rights through research, education and litigation. ...

Anti-Defamation League Logo The Anti-Defamation League (or ADL) is an advocacy group founded by Bnai Brith in the United States whose stated aim is to stop, by appeals to reason and conscience and, if necessary, by appeals to law, the defamation of the Jewish people. ... CPAC 2006 Conservative Political Action Conference is an annual political conference attended by some 5000+ conservatives, activists, and elected officials from across the United States. ...

A protest by The Westboro Baptist Church; a group identified by the Anti-Defamation League as virulently homophobic. ... White supremacy is a racist ideology which holds the belief that white people are superior to other races. ...

The group has not responded to this charge. The Council of Conservative Citizens often resorts to what opponents consider slanted and inflammatory language and images to promote its message. An April 2005 photo essay on the CCC website shows gruesome pictures of decapitated, burnt and mangled bodies of white victims of violence in South Africa, while the caption states that whites may one day become a minority in the United States.[4] This article does not cite its references or sources. ...

The CofCC responds that anyone who is doing any real conservative activism is labeled a “racist,” because “schoolyard slander is the only thing the left-wing has.”^{[citation needed]}
