I just sent Derb $100 so my resources are a bit limited for a while … .Meanwhile, though, NRO’s firing of Derb reminds me of the celebrated Tea Party sign "It doesn’t matter what we say, you'll call it racist anyway."
Much good it may do NR, eg. from a typical leftist website:
The National Review: Always Was and Still Is Wildly Racist
John Derbyshire may be gone, but William F. Buckley’s magazine championed divisive racial politics — and still does.

Why do they bother?
By James Fulford replies: Both VDARE.com and John Derbyshire are grateful for all donations.
Looking for a copy of this famous “call it racist” sign to illustrate this letter, I found it on
left-wing blog
However, it’s true that National Review, staffed almost entirely with white people, and representing the (white) Republican Establishment, will continue to be the focus of anti-white hate no matter how much they grovel.
By the same token, my last night’s column included this:
Ms. Grant [Twitter], who used to write for Salon, says “John Derbyshire, whom you might remember as the guy too blatantly racist for the much more subtly racist National Review–has found himself a new gig.”
Memo to Rich Lowry : This shows, one more time, that nothing is gained by appeasing these people.
Peter Brimelow adds: I don’t think NR’s editors care about the magazine. Their ambition is simply to use it as a stepping stone to acceptance as professional Token Conservatives in the MSM — which means toeing the line on issues that are really important to the Left and, also, not being too effective.
