But what is Project 21? As I wrote in a <a href="http://www.thenation.com/doc/20050411/blumenthal/single" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none;">2005 piece</a> for the Nation in a profile of one of Project 21’s most prominent figures, Jesse Lee Peterson, the group was created to provide cover and support for white conservatives to attack minorities and civil rights leaders. In fact, on May 9, 2005, Peterson hosted Taylor on his own radio show for a <a href="http://www.amren.com/interviews/index.html" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none;">friendly exchange</a> about the evils of civil rights.Part of a <a href="http://washingtonindependent.com/75851/clarification-and-mea-culpa-on-james-okeefe-and-race-and-conservatism" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none;">slightly redacted email</a> between the “Race and Conservatism” event’s chief organizer, Marcus Epstein, and Jared Taylor was published by Dave Weigel, who confirmed Taylor as the email recipient. The email appears to reveal that Taylor had a direct role in planning the event, including in booking Martin. (Epstein tells Taylor that Martin “will do it;” the subject line refers to <a href="http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2487" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none;">Steve Sailer</a>, a prominent proponent of racialist Eugenics pseudo-science.) What else was in the email thread? Will Epstein release the full email exchange between himself and Taylor to show how Martin was booked? Here’s <a href="http://www.thenation.com/doc/20050411/blumenthal/single" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none;">some background</a> on Project 21: In 1992, while race rioting engulfed Los Angeles in the wake of the Rodney King beating, civil rights leaders and black Democratic politicians took to the airwaves to criticize the draconian policies of the Los Angeles police department as the riot’s root cause. In the absence of a coordinated right-wing response, NCPPR enlisted a coterie of black conservatives, including Peterson, to denounce the rioters as wanton criminals while hailing the LAPD’s ham-handed response. Out of the campaign grew Project 21, a group providing cable news programs with a reliable stable of black talking heads willing and able to say what white conservatives can’t.More than a decade after its formation, however, Project 21 is still hamstrung by its dearth of publicly recognized members. Besides the group’s most well-known spokesman, Peterson, Project 21’s roster includes the eminent Murdock Gibbs, described in his bio as a “Dallas-based entertainer, speaker and freelance writer.” Then there’sKevin Martin, whose career as “an environmental contractor in Maryland” must have made his transition to punditry a no-brainer. (Martin showcased his political sophistication during a July 13, 2004, appearance on the Fox News Channel’s Hannity & Colmes in which he compared the NAACP to the Ku Klux Klan.) And finally, Project 21 boasts the seasoned insider Eddie Huff, an insurance agent from Tulsa, Oklahoma. NCPPR’s executive director, David Almasi, coordinates Project 21’s strategy, churns out its press releases and even provides its spokespeople with talking points before they appear on air. But as Project 21’s only white associate, he tries to keep behind the curtain while his cadres bash everyone from black basketball players to civil rights veterans. Almasi’s cover was blown in July 2004, when he decided to fill in for a Project 21 spokesman who had gotten a flat tire on his way to an appearance on C-SPAN. As Joshua Holland reported in the Internet magazine The Gadflyer, while introducing Almasi, the show’s bemused host turned to him and stuttered, “Um…Project 21…a program for conservative African Americans…you’re not African American.”....=The National Leadership Network of Black ConservativesKevin Martin is a member of the National Advisory Council of the Project 21 black leadership network.
