, we hardly knew ye.

Sure, we remember how, as early as 2000, you already were denigrating your black former students at Stillman College in Tuscaloosa, Ala., to your friends, mocking their 鈥渉umorous鈥� names and offering up sensitive jokes like this one: 鈥淎 quote from a recent affirmative action hire: 鈥榊esta-day I could not spell secretary.鈥� Today I is one.鈥欌�� Ha! We know all about your 2007 essay, aimed at members of the hate group you started in 1994, saying that they should quit being afraid of being called 鈥渞acist鈥� and other, as you put it, 鈥渕eaningless epithets.鈥�

But, heck, we were still thinking you were just a garden-variety bigot, a rude jerk who鈥檚 too dumb to keep his diarrhea-spouting mouth shut.

But now here you come, Mike, and make it all plain for us. We just read the essay you published Tuesday, and we see you鈥檙e finally displaying the courage of your convictions. You鈥檙e an intellectual, and you鈥檝e got an entire system of thought that explains the failings of black people. By gum, you鈥檙e not afraid to tell it like it is!

White people are endowed with a 鈥淕od-ordained superiority.鈥� Whites of 鈥渉onor, genius and principle鈥� left us with a 鈥済lorious heritage,鈥� while black people 鈥渉ave never created anything approximating a civilization.鈥� It鈥檚 a 鈥渕onumental lie鈥� that all men are created equal. The very word 鈥渞acism鈥� was 鈥渃oined by the Communists.鈥� Slavery was 鈥渟uccessfully defended from a Biblical standpoint鈥� until 鈥渢he institution鈥檚 legitimacy was systematically undermined in the name of 鈥榚quality鈥� and misappropriated 鈥楥hristian ethics鈥欌�� by the Civil War and all that followed. Emancipating the slaves was 鈥渁 disaster for whites and blacks alike.鈥� 鈥淸I]nstead of whites owing black reparations for slavery and its alleged attendant ills 鈥� blacks in reality owe white America (especially the South) a debt that likely will be neither acknowledged nor paid.鈥� After all, slaves had 鈥渃radle to grave security.鈥�

All great points, Mike! We can see how you were once a college professor.

And then there鈥檚 your cool take on Reconstruction. 鈥淒uring the period from 1865-77, whites in the South had seen enough of Negro rule to understand that their (i.e., white) civilization would perish should blacks be given the vote and thus be permitted to control the political system. 鈥� Therefore, postbellum Southern blacks were disenfranchised and 鈥楯im Crow鈥� law resulted in a segregated South (today, 鈥楯im Crow鈥� has been replaced by what might be called 鈥楯im Snow鈥� policies that discriminate against whites).鈥� And, as you point out, freed blacks suffered from problems like 鈥渇amily disintegration.鈥� Good point, no matter what those Yankee multiculturalists claim about slavery really tearing apart black families.

There was a time, hard to believe as it may seem today, when Michael Hill didn鈥檛 like being called a racist. Then he became an explicit neo-secessionist, urging the South to break away once again. He started to talk in terms of race, opposing interracial relationships and driving away the few serious scholars who had once shown the League of the South some sympathy. He left Stillman College and his black students, much to the apparent relief of embarrassed officials there.

Now, we can call the man who shouts about white 鈥渟uperiority鈥� exactly what he is 鈥� a white supremacist with views that are essentially indistinguishable from those of the Klan. Add to that Hill鈥檚 recent talk of violence 鈥� telling followers that they are at war, and urging them to buy AK-47s, hollow-point bullets and tools to derail trains 鈥� and it gets a person to thinking. Perhaps we鈥檇 all be better off if we just let the foul-mouthed professor get his wish and secede from the country he hates.
