Guy White - 8/27/2009
At least some of the opposition to diversity is driven by the dislike to certain people. But my opposition to it is based not on hate of other races and ethnicities. I can like other races, I can accept them as a small minority, but I oppose diversity because it signifies our national death. Diversity is not a threat because the “other” is bad. It is a threat because it undermines the society that exists in the invaded region. How Could Barack Obama Do This?
Guy White - 8/10/2009
About a month ago I was talking to a young woman who suddenly switched the conversation to the Sonia Sotomayor nomination. The girl is neither political nor racialist. In fact, her boyfriend is black and she’s white. Obama on Race: Process over Product
Yossef Ben-Meir, PhD - 8/7/2009
What was revealed about President Barack Obama’s outlook on racial issues as he dealt with the controversy over the arrest of Harvard University Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr.? Interestingly, the principle view shown by the President was also highlighted by his Attorney General in a controversial speech he gave last February commemorating African American History Month. Culturist Perspective: “Islam Day” in Hawaii
Prof. John Press - 5/13/2009
The resolution to make September 24th, ‘Islam Day’ in Hawaii is culturist blashphemy. The Senate is multiculturalist. That means they do not believe the West has a core traditional culture to promote. They think our land is a blank slate without history where random cultures meet. And, for the sake of equal representation, we must celebrate Islam for a day. Herein is the irony. Multiculturalists do not believe that cultural diversity exists. They think it is all about food, fashion and festivals. They have never heard of Jihad. Understanding Nationalism
Mike Smith - 4/20/2009
Few words today bring up as much misunderstanding, confusion and resentment today as “Nationalism”. Nationalism has been vilified by the Marxist Communist agenda that see it as the biggest stumbling block in their way to a Global Communist State. One of the first things the Communists attack is a people’s Nationalism. Multiculturalism endangers the West
Prof. John Press - 4/8/2009
President Obama’s being a multiculturalist endangers the West. In a speech in Turkey he announced, “The United States is not and will never be at war with Islam.” He also called for Turkey to become a part of the EU. Both of these statements reflect a very poor understanding of history and cultural diversity. It is dangerous for our president to be multiculturalist instead of culturist. Eric Holder's Cowards and Real Questions About Race
Guy White - 3/3/2009
Barack Obama's administration has recently gone on a racial offensive, demanding that Americans stop being cowards and discuss race. First Eric Holder called us a nation of cowards. Then a similar challenge was issued by the EPA administrator Lisa Jackson and First Lady Michelle Obama. But do they really want us to discuss race-related issues honestly? Or are they just trying to create an anti-white national assault where whites are blamed for all the minorities' problems and in this "dialogue" even complete incivility towards whites would be welcomed. If the Obama administration really wants ... Is America a Judeo-Christian Nation?
David Storobin, Esq. - 2/24/2009
Is America really a Judeo-Christian nation? The Christian influence is of course beyond any doubt. All the Presidents were at least nominally Christian, as were many great Americans such as the Wright Brothers and Alexander Graham Bell. But how much of a role did the Jews play in creating American culture? Countering The Marxist Critical Theory

"Out of the dominant characteristics of both belligerents a certain center of gravity develops, the hub of all power and movement, on which everything depends. That is the point against which all our energies should be directed.”
– Carl von Clausewitz AIG Defies U.S. Taxpayers by Promoting Sharia in America
Jeffrey Imm - 12/15/2008
For the third month in a row, AIG is in the news regarding its promotion of Sharia-compliant finance (SCF) products, which promote the Islamic supremacist, segregationist ideology of Sharia. For a company struggling with its financial survival, it remains astounding that AIG would want to incite its American taxpayer owners by promoting products that are based on an Islamic supremacist political ideology. In October 2008, I wrote how the U.S. Culturism, Obama and Loyalties
Prof. John Press - 11/26/2008
Divided loyalties should worry any political observer with a sense of culturism. Presidents must be born American citizens. If you're in the Congress or the Supreme Court there is no such requirement. The answer as to why brings us to recognize the importance of loyalty. Though some controversy reverberates in come circles, President-Elect Barrack Obama has American citizenship by birth. But there are still loyalty problems. Traitors of the West
Kyle Bristow - 11/26/2008
Western civilization is plagued with traitors who are cheerleaders for the destruction of the West. This assertion is not new, for British Member of Parliament Enoch Powell delivered his famous “Rivers of Blood” speech roughly four decades ago, and in his speech, he derided his countrymen for pursuing policies that served as a detriment to England. At one point in his speech, he declared that: Ebonics: The Language of Hate
Prof. Nicholas Stix - 11/3/2008
Which language do you speak -- "Ebonics" or the "Language of Wider Communication"? Of which nation are you a citizen -- "Amerika" or "Afrika"? In Defense of True Freedom
Kyle Bristow - 9/9/2008
In my humanities class at Michigan State University, which focuses on the topic of “Freedom in the Modern World,” students during recitation recently discussed rights that people have. Some students suggested that group-based rights exist (i.e. women’s rights, minority rights, gay rights, etc.), while others suggested that so-called “human rights” exist which should be enjoyed by all people on earth. After the students agreed that they could not agree on what constitutes a right, they then when on to squabble over where rights come from (i.e. God, nature, reason, a social contract, etc.). W... Should blacks join political parties?
Elizabeth Wright - 9/1/2008
Of course, lots of people got it right about the implications of what we all saw during the New Orleans hurricane disaster. In the predicament of the flood victims, we all got a view of the welfare state writ large. From the plaintive calls for rescue, water and food, as if these were all due by right, to the bungling of those Keystone Cops known as government bureaucrats, beginning with the New Orleans Mayor and working its way to the top of the Feds -- we witnessed scenes that we hope will never be repeated. Immigration - Betrayal by black elites
Elizabeth Wright - 8/26/2008
Black blogger Byron Crawford sort of, kind of gets it. Usually quite caustic in his anti-white bias, this time he realistically speculates on the degree to which so-called white privilege might be indelibly linked to the privileges of freedom enjoyed by all Americans, including blacks. School Violence and Race: Michelle Malkin Strikes Out Again!
Prof. Nicholas Stix - 8/26/2008
Initially, Michelle Malkin’s new column looks promising. “Abu Ghraib-i-fying America's Schools” discusses the violence plaguing so many of America’s public schools, and the ACLU’s racist disinformation campaign, whereby it presents black students as victims of racism, because black boys get punished 1.4 times as often, and black girls 2.1 times as often as their proportion of the school population. But then Malkin wimps out, and goes Republican. The End of Identity Politics?
Elizabeth Wright - 8/15/2008
In these times I am rarely surprised by most notions put forth by political pundits. But I must admit to being taken aback by the suppositions of Terry Michael in “Obama as the End of Identity Politics as We’ve Known Them” (Reason magazine, 6/10/08). Michael appears to believe that under an Obama presidency, we soon will be on “the beginnings of a journey away from the Great Society mind-set of the Democratic Party” and on a course that will put “the Jesse Jacksons, the Al Sharptons, and the white identity politics liberals out of business.” Racial Dialogue with Whites
Prof. Nicholas Stix - 8/4/2008
As I write this, my sister-in-law and her live-in boyfriend are visiting. They’re in the other room. “Parbatee,” the sister-in-law, and “Joe,” the boyfriend, were previously married to other people, and have been together four or five years, now. As Parbatee is my wife’s sister, she’s a Trinidadian Indian; Joe is Italian. Like many New York Italians, Joe could pass for a Jew, which is what I long assumed him to be. When I said something about him being Jewish last year, and he corrected me, he didn’t seem flattered. Whatever. Black Slaveowners
Elizabeth Wright - 8/4/2008
Many historians have argued that the majority of black masters purchased their relatives and friends who were held in bondage. Being unable to manumit their loved ones, the black masters were forced to hold their kinsfolk and friends as nominal slaves. So they treated their relatives and friends as free persons, and whenever possible, they attempted to manumit their loved ones. Thus the dominant pattern of slaveholding that developed among free blacks was benevolent and based primarily on kinship. The chief architect of the benevolent interpretation was Carter G. Woodson, and his thesis has been accepted by most historians. Culturist Tensions with my Muslim Friend
Prof. John Press - 7/29/2008
My oldest friend, Geeta, is a Muslim. I just saw her for the first time in six years. Geeta came to this country when she was 13 - the Ayatollah chased her family out. Her clothes, drinking habits and relationship patters - her basic values - are highly Americanized. Geeta is a rock n roll woman and someone I care deeply about. When we were kids, our differences did not bother us at all. But current political realities made this visit tense at the edges. The Decline of Art; the Decline of Culture
Kyle Bristow - 7/28/2008
Throughout its history the West has been blessed with leaders in the arts. Rembrandt, Mozart, and Shakespeare, among many, many others are such leaders, but the West today lacks real artists. In the postmodern West, degenerate “artists” have embarked on a campaign to pervert the definition of art, and this perversion of modern-day Western art has put Western culture in jeopardy. The War Against the West
Kyle Bristow - 7/2/2008
There is nothing better that symbolizes a nation than a flag. When Christian crusaders invaded heathen territory centuries ago, they brought the flags of their lands with them. When Americans landed on the moon, they left only their footprints and a flag behind. When patriots rally on July 4th of every year to celebrate American independence, flags can be seen throughout the throngs of people at parades. Because the flag of a nation is so symbolically important to that nation, enemies of that nation burn that flag while demonstrating. The American flag, for example, is representative of t... Stung by the word 'white'
Elizabeth Wright - 6/9/2008
To observe that blacks are voting in mass for a black man, only because he is black, is considered acceptable conduct and even praiseworthy. Yet, to bring up the reality of race, when it's clear that many whites prefer to vote for white candidates, is a sign of "racism" and unmitigated bigotry. How could anything except outright racial bias account for Barack Obama getting 91% to 98% of the vote of a single ethnic bloc? The Blitzkrieg in the Kulturkampf Western Civilization Faces
Kyle Bristow - 5/21/2008
Our culture has been besieged by opponents of Western civilization who wish in the depths of their dark hearts to dismantle the greatest civilization that has ever existed on the face of the planet, to deny us of our destiny, and to do away with our liberties. What our people face now is akin to what the people of Poland faced on September 1, 1939. Though our civilization is not being destroyed through a calculated military assault, it is however being destroyed through a calculated political and cultural assault. If our civilization is to survive, patriots must rise up in its defense. Race and Western Civilization
Kyle Bristow - 5/15/2008
It is rare for a professor at my university to assign a truly enlightening book for us to read, so I have made a habit of not only reading the books my professors assign, but also, I read as many non-assigned books as I possibly can. The most recent book I finished was Race and the American Prospect: Essays on the Racial Realities of Our Nation and Our Time, which was edited by the late Sam Francis. I enjoyed the book so much that I felt obliged to write a book review of it to encourage more people to read it. Multiculturalism, Culturism and the Americanization Movement
Prof. John Press - 5/4/2008
The Americanization movement greeted immigrants between 1895 and 1924. Few people nowadays know about the Americanization movement, but it swept the nation at a level comparable to that of abolition movement, prohibition, women's suffrage and the Great Awakenings. In 1918 two branches of the Federal government ran Americanization programs. One had over 100 employees, surveyed the activities of 50,000 local organizations working with foreign populations, and coordinated tactics with at least 15,000. Industries and Presidents participated in this effort. The Americanization movement provides a traditional culturist model we should all know about. Multiculturalists Gone Wild
Prof. John Press - 5/1/2008
Buddha is Hiding by Aihwa Ong shows the perils of multicultural policy compounded by multiculturalist thought. Ong's book follows the lives of 50,000 Cambodian refugees we accepted in the 1970s. During the reign of Pol Pot in Cambodia approximately one third of the population was killed. Many of those given asylum ended up congregating in Northern California. Whites not allowed
Elizabeth Wright - 4/25/2008
In a column in the New Pittsburgh Courier, black columnist William Reaves once asked, "Can any progress be made without settling the concerns of white people who want to insure a future for their white posterity?" Reaves asked his question back in 1998, emphasizing those blacks and whites who were "uncomfortable" about sorting out the actual reasons for what he called "the true motivation for white supremacy." Maybe It's Time To Fess Up

When I first heard about the Harvard paper addressing the power of the Jewish Lobby an uneasy chill ran down my spine. After all, this "academic" paper blew the cover off how Jews control the US State department and American Foreign Policy. The downside of integration
Elizabeth Wright - 4/20/2008
How confusing it must have been back then for the black bourgeoisie. What to do, what to do! On the one hand, it's the 1960s, and the gates have been opened to the world of whites, to jobs created by white men, to entry into places only once dreamed of. Here is the desegregation-integration so yearned for. Hate Crimes: The Whitey Did It?
Guy White - 4/20/2008
When people talk about hate crimes, commonly and accurately referred to as the most reprehensible form of violence, they think of whites attacking blacks. But is that reality? Do whites commit all the hate crimes? Do they commit even a majority of the hate crimes? Racism, some questions
Stephen W. Browne - 4/20/2008
Everybody talks about racism these days, but has anybody actually gone back and defined what the heck it is they're talking about? I mean, racism is a pretty serious charge these days. In certain contexts it can be a career-wrecking accusation.* And for anyone who writes seriously on subjects such as affirmative action or immigration policy, being accused of racism is almost a rite of passage. Affirmative Action Leads to Bureaucracy, Censorship and Even Death
Prof. Nicholas Stix - 4/20/2008
The mainstream media supports the continued admission to otherwise highly selective universities of unqualified minority applicants based on their race or ethnicity, as a means to achieve “diversity.” Since affirmative action’s 1960s’ origins, however, this plague has spread beyond college admissions, to corrupt all of America’s institutions. In higher education, affirmative action has led to the hiring of incompetent, often openly racist black and Hispanic professors. It has further led to the creation of entire disciplines — black, women’s, Hispanic and gay studies — exist in order to genera... Clash of Civilizations Revisited
Safdar Jafri - 4/19/2008
As the religious violence rages across the world, Huntington's Clash of Civilizations has become one of the most talked about theories of the day. The theory argues that West and Islam are two radically different civilizations that are bound to clash in view of their extremely conflicting values. It stereotypes Islam as inherently non-progressive and anti-liberal; the two most core values of the western civilization. Recent surge of radical Islam that culminated in the ghastly events of 9/11, has catapulted this once obscure theory into political and intellectual limelight. Multiculturalists, Crime, Terror and Diversity!
Prof. John Press - 4/18/2008
Multiculturalists' slogan is "celebrate diversity" aids and abets terrorists. Under this paradigm rather than judge we must accept all cultures. Their take on diversity conceives of it as superficial; all cultures are equally American. The Institute Studies Institute begs to differ. As culturists, ISI believes we have a core culture and some people's beliefs are so diverse they offend Western ideals; some people actually hate America. Usually ISI celebrates Western culture. Today, they sponsored lectures about threats from those who seek to destroy the country we hope multiculturalists will someday also recognize as unique and worth defending. Liberal Orthodox Church, Science and Witch Hunts
Guy White - 4/17/2008
One of the white readers of my blog commented that he would get fired if anyone found out that he reads my thoughts. Not only is he not allowed to agree with me, he's not even allowed to read this. One's mind must be so completely closed that he's not allowed to find out what the "enemy" is thinking, unless he's a "trained professional" acting as part of anti-racist witch hunt organization like the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and other High Priests of the Liberal Orthodox Church of Political Correctness and Minority Empowerment ("LOC"). Three Culturist Questions
Prof. John Press - 4/14/2008
Yesterday I spoke to a group of libertarians. One of the most interesting questions was, "Doesn't the universal desirability of technology such as air-conditioning show a global value system towards which the whole world is moving?" My polished answers was, Mr. Obama & Rev. Wright, America’s Debt to Blacks Already Paid in Full
Prof. Nicholas Stix - 4/10/2008
While millions of American blacks demand that American taxpayers (read: whites) pay slavery reparations of up to one million dollars to each and every black resident of the United States, in fact, American taxpayers—and consumers—have already paid trillions of dollars in reparations (read: racial extortion). And the tab is rising daily. IQ Differences: Do they exist and can we admit it?
Guy White - 4/9/2008
Last year the Fire Department of New York was sued by the federal government because of the racial gaps between races. No reasons were given to prove that there was any bias, just the fact that blacks did not score as well as whites. The FDNY test was not the only test to show a gap. So did the SAT, GRE, GMAT, MCAT, LSAT, bar exam, police exams, IQ test - every test of aptitude. All of them are supposed to be racist. What We Must Remember on the Anniversary of MLK’s Assassination
Prof. Nicholas Stix - 4/7/2008
Friday, the fourth day of the year’s fourth Black History Month, the nation commemorated the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. On the TV earlier today, I continually saw images of MLK. I didn’t bother listening, and The Boss was kind enough to keep the sound on low. How many winter’s days have I wasted since 1987, watching propaganda about that man? And now, with twelve Black History Months per year, the propaganda never stops. Addressing Black Concerns and Delusions
Guy White - 4/7/2008
African-Americans frequently accuse whites, all whites, of racism. Even though they got tremendous opportunities as a result of living in a white nation that they could never have gotten in pre-colonial or even modern Africa, their complaints never end. It's really interesting to read their exact statements because they are often nearly incomprehensible and show that Jeremiah "Shaka Zulu" Wright is not the exception, but the rule.

Fjordman - 3/28/2008
Dymphna of Gates of Vienna recommended to me a book called “Eccentric Culture: A Theory of Western Civilization,” by Rémi Brague. The Romans admired the earlier culture of the Greeks. Christians had a love/hate relationship with Judaism, but they did recognize that the Jews had an older religious tradition than they did themselves, and that they were greatly indebted to it. Christian Europeans thus inherited a twin “cultural secondarity” in relations to their Greek and Hebrew ... Racial Dialogue in America
Prof. Nicholas Stix - 3/25/2008
Every time a black says he wants an “honest” dialogue about race, I reach for my wallet with one hand, and for my pistol with the other. Now, it is Barack Hussein Obama, the “black” candidate for president who says he wants “dialogue.”
Obama doesn’t want dialogue on race, any more than black people do. Dialogue for them means lecturing, hectoring, and otherwise abusing whites, lying to our faces about race, the more egregious lie the better, and daring us to tell the truth, so they can curse us, assault us, and have... The State of Racism: Part 2 - The Heart of Whiteness
Guy White - 3/18/2008
Massive white racism is taken as a fact of life. Blacks suffer at the hands of whites on daily basis, at every turn, as hate-filled white people abuse and assault the “people of color”. There are no non-racist whites and any white person who denies hate in his heart is a racist of the worst kind. In American universities teenagers study institutional racism, unconscious racism, white privilege, ideological whiteness, and other types of persecution that benefit whites at the expense of blacks. American history is nothing more than a history of racism. Western history is nothing more than histor... The Diseased West
Kyle Bristow - 3/18/2008
Nations are organic, because just like an organism, they are born, mature, decline in strength, and eventually die. To what degree of power and prestige they achieve during their lifetime is dependent upon the people of the nation. If the people are collectively prudent, courageous, and dedicated to their nation, the nation can attain great strength. When the citizens of a nation lose their national identity—either through a decline in historical understanding or a decrease in national saliency—the nation grows weak. This weakness amounts to a sickness that patriots of a nation must cure if the nation is to survive. Candlelight Vigil Met With Anti-Semitic Protest
Jennifer Kutner - 3/16/2008
One day after the brutal terrorist attack in Jerusalem in which a Palestinian terrorist infiltrated the Mercaz Harav rabbinical seminary and opened fire on a crowded library and study hall, killing eight students and wounding 11 others. Among those killed or injured were students who held dual Israeli-American citizenship. A candlelight vigil in memory of the innocent victims was held outside the Consulate General of Israel in Los Angeles, organized by StandWithUs, an international education organization. The State of Racism: Part 1 - Is Black Racism Possible?
Guy White - 3/9/2008
Accusations of white racism are rampant, with the topic of race turning immediately to the alleged hate deep in the heart of every white person. In fact, any “dialogue” on race is nothing more than a vicious black attack on whites who cannot defend themselves and usually respond with a payment to black organizations and neighborhoods from the government and corporations. But what about black racism? Is it even possible? If so, does it exist? And if it exists, is it more or less virulent than white racism? Corruption and Culture – Part 2
Saberi Roy - 3/3/2008
The term culture as we understand would refer to our social and moral systems, as well as all forms of human activity that are carried through generations comprising the gamut of human beliefs, values, arts, religions, languages and behavior. Culture is the product of civilization, a way of life and establishes traditions for societies. Corruption is counter to culture and erodes cultural integrity and moral systems of societies and thus has a deep and long lasting impact on the continuous evolution of human society. The different facets of culture are reflected through arts, knowledge systems, music, entertainment, religions and rituals. Corruption and Culture - Part I
Saberi Roy - 2/26/2008
Corruption is not just the abuse of power for personal gain but also personal gain at the expense of others so it has moral, ethical, social, economic, political and broader geographical impact. Although some form of corruption has always existed in human society, the practice or culture of corruption has taken up gigantic forms since the 20th century. From politics to the corporate world, from entertainment to education corruption is a disease and a vice of organizational systems. Almost like cancer, corruption begins slowly and gradually permeates to affect the whole of society. Most people ... Blame It On The Whitey!
Guy White - 2/22/2008
The West is a society of emasculated liars. A people lacking the will to stand up and say that the emperor has no clothes are easy to control. They all know that multiculturalism and race card tricks are a lie, but cooperate in the cultural and demographic destruction of their nations nonetheless for the fear of being called “racist”. So powerful is the claim of racism that more than 95% of people will immediately back down if you only accuse them of being racist. It does not matter what you discuss – immigration, taxation, favorite athlete, music, anything – try calling your opponent a racis... Culturist Asylum
Prof. John Press - 2/22/2008
In U.S. law, in order to qualify as a refugee and apply for asylum, an alien must be unable or unwilling to return to his or her country of nationality because he or she has a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or "membership in a particular social group." This quoted portion of our law has been used to argue that women who fear female genital mutilation should all be granted asylum. Laws such as this show no appreciation for the existence or impact of international cultural diversity. We need to replace internationally-oriented, culturally-neutral laws with laws informed by culturist understandings. What Is An American?
Prof. John Press - 2/21/2008
In speaking about culturism I’m asked what is an American – what is the majority culture of which you speak? This question is, of course, hard to answer because we are not defined, like other countries, by religion or race. We have a shared history and ideals and a shared future. But beyond that you have so many options that it boggles the mind: Gay ministers are good Americans and conservative gun proponents are good Americans too. We are a nation full of liberty and spectrum. But two general answers come to mind. Free Speech For Some, But Not For All
Elizabeth Wright - 2/19/2008
Is freedom of speech a moot issue at this point in American history? Are those who persist in fighting to uphold the principles of the First Amendment fighting an already lost battle? From several recent polls of American citizens, it would seem that most people are more concerned about avoiding social discord than with preserving individual rights as enshrined in the Constitution.

Guy White - 2/13/2008
According to the politically correct dogma, white people have no legitimate rights, grievances or even interests. All such claims are attacked as "racist". Any positive statement about the accomplishments of the white people is "racist". In any competition - whether it's criminal prosecution, admission to college or a political race - anyone supporting whites is condemned as a "racist". But why? The Darker the Berry, the Sweeter the Juice - But Does Anyone Really Believe In Affirmative Action?

Elizabeth Wright - 12/28/2007
"Every demonstration of pathology offers the chance to submit "proposals" for yet newer and trendier social programs that will, of course, require the input of the black elites' wise and judicious expertise. Black social problems offer unlimited fodder for workshop topics and themes for the endless string of conferences funded by Philip Morris or Anheuser-Busch, and hosted by the growing numbers of black social scientists and talk circuit riders." We Shall Overcome Jesse Jackson
Elizabeth Wright - 12/23/2007
Jesse Jackson and other liberal black elites understand well that the only power they possess comes through their influence within and over the black masses. To guarantee their success as brokers for their own elite class, for whom they extract sundry affirmative action perks, they must appear to maintain a firm attachment to the "downtrodden underclass." It is this underclass that is held up to whites, to preserve white fear of potential riots and mayhem. And it is the prospect of turmoil and pandemonium that underlies all the successful wheeling and dealing pulled off by these black elites. Rivers Of Blood: Diversity Is Our Greatest Threat

Elizabeth Wright - 11/22/2007
What are black youth to make of the adults around them who insist that their life chances are "limited" due to the enslavement of their ancestors, the segregation of their ancestors, and the mistreatment of their ancestors? Should they assume that all the black men and women who have lived since those troublesome times were powerless to construct productive lives beyond those past ordeals? Should they assume that they too are just as powerless to move beyond this past adversity, unless and until bundles of money, this time in the form of official "reparations" for the labor of those ancestors, are delivered to them?

What the Left is describing as racist is very often culturalist. For example, is it cultural or racial to perform genital mutilation on infant females? Is it cultural or racial to celebrate Thanksgiving? Is it cultural or racial to honor the dead in some form? It's Elementary, My Dear Dr. Watson
Albert Brenner - 11/16/2007
It is always fascinating to watch the drama unfold when Reason and 'Church' clash. This time round James Watson (of DNA/RNA fame) dared to cross the De-Rationalized Zone of scientific inquiry to cast doubt on certain blatantly feel-good assumptions underpinning the lop-sidedness of Western multi-culturalism. His critique basically boiled down to questioning the irrational assumption that all the races have exactly the same skills and abilities (even in the 100-meter sprint), irrespective of the geographical and historical variables that fostered their development. The Legacy Of Slavery - White Guilt or White Pride?
Guy White - 11/14/2007
One of most common myths that people are forced to repeat in the Left’s never-ending quest to humiliate whites at the altar of egalitarianism and multiculturalism is the idea that whites should feel guilty about their legacy of slavery. The Roots of Non-Discrimination - Liberalism or Marxism?
Fjordman - 11/14/2007
What is the driving force behind the ideology of absolute equality and total non-discrimination in the Western world? I’ve seen many different explanations blaming it on Christianity, democracy of universal suffrage, Marxism, decolonization or - perhaps most likely - on Nazism and the devastation caused by the Second World War. This triggered a rejection of absolutely everything perceived to be divisive, including the nation state, and has enabled a Multicultural ideology that is, ironically, itself becoming increasingly totalitarian. Doug Tracht As the Precedent for White Groveling and Cowardice
Elizabeth Wright - 11/13/2007
As a black woman, there is little these days that shocks me when it comes to white acquiescence to black demands. But I must say that even this cynical soul was unprepared for the groveling behavior of that radio personality Doug Tracht (The Greaseman) when the hounds were set upon him several years ago. U of Delaware "All Whites Are Racist" Program Officially Ended
David Storobin, Esq. - 11/7/2007
The University of Delaware has surrendered to public pressure and ended their "anti-racism" program that called all whites "racist" and claimed that all the aspects of civilization, "religion, philosophy, art, language, architecture, science, medicine, agriculture and urban planning", have derived from Africa.

The daunting reality facing people of conscience is the seemingly impossible task of controlling propaganda in a free society, and how the protected freedom of the perpetrators increases the vulnerability of their potential victims. The Skyrocketing Black IQ
Robert Lindsay - 10/13/2007
One of the most interesting things that has been happening in the area of intelligence testing in the past 80 years has been something called the Flynn Effect. The Flynn Effect has shown that IQ scores have been rising all across the West for the past 80 years. There is much debate about the causes of this effect and whether or not it is real. Fatalism and the Loss of Western Cultural Confidence
Fjordman - 10/13/2007
It was suggested to me that the Western culture of self-destruction should be called seppukultur, from the Japanese word “seppuku,” the ritual suicide by disembowelment which was a part of the Samurai code of conduct, more commonly known as hara-kiri. I find the word intriguing, but it isn’t entirely accurate. What modern Westerners are doing is eradicating their own culture. This concept would never have occurred to Japanese who followed bushido teachings. Those who committed seppuku did so precisely out of a deep commitment to their traditions. For good or bad, the Japanese always have been ... Interview with Alex Linder of the Vanguard News Network: Jewish journalist interviews leading anti-Jewish activist

Alex Linder is the operator of the Vanguard News Network. The motto of the web site is "No Jews, Just Right". The Southern Poverty Law Center criticized VNN stating that its web site "[offends] even many of the most extreme racists and anti-Semites with Linder's potty humor [and] untrammeled misogyny."

Imagine if you planned a country’s economic future using calculations exclusively based on even numbers. For ideological reasons you excluded odd numbers because you declared that they represent bigotry and have divisive nature since they cannot be divided equally in half. Absolutely all calculations for the future would then end up being wrong. This sounds insane and improbable, but what we’re doing now in the Western world is exactly this naïve. In the name of Multiculturalism we completely ignore all ethnic, religious, cultural and, yes, racial differences, because we have decided that thes... IQ and Crime in the US Redux
Robert Lindsay - 9/10/2007
This is follow-up to an earlier post - Black Crime and Intelligence - An Intrepid Investigation. No matter how much Leftists and liberals deny it, there are clear differences in racial crime rates in the US. US Hispanics and Blacks have higher crime rates than Whites in the US in the same way that Asians have lower rates. It is neither controversial nor racist to report on this observable fact. The Color Of Crime: Who Commits Crime, Why and The Liberal Response
Guy White - 9/10/2007
Several years ago, the New Century Foundation, called “White Nationalist” by supporters and “racist” by the Civil Rights Crusaders, published a study called “The Color Of Crime” on race and crime based on official government statistics. In response, Tim Wise penned an article that sought to counter the report. Whether you agree with the goals of the New Century Foundation, it is hard not to conclude that Mr. Wise‘s response (1) is meant to obfuscate the issue, while “The Color Of Crime” is a mostly honest account of what our own government states. Those who support affirmative action must be especially upset at the lying and false logic used by Mr. Wise. The Dark Berry Theory of Race and Justice
Guy White - 8/31/2007
The Duke rape case has been one of the most well-documented criminal dramas in recent memory. But one aspect of the hoax has been misrepresented and then shut out by the media – the role of race in the malicious prosecution of Reade Seligmann, Dave Evans and Collin Finnerty. When the case broke, race was central to the media. But as the accuser’s story unraveled, race disappeared from discussion. But it was not just a story of 3 boys being railroaded by a rogue prosecutor. This is a story of how American elites view their country: the media, the academia, the corporate management, the criminal... Ten Postulates of Political Correctness
Baron Bodissey - 8/26/2007
Political correctness insinuates itself into the body politic under many aliases – multiculturalism, diversity, tolerance, conventional wisdom, progressive thought (how’s that for an oxymoron?), all the smelly little orthodoxies of our time. It comes in a number of varieties and flavors.
As a public service, I have gathered together the ten basic principles of PC. You might call them the Ten Postulates of PC; or maybe they could be couched in the imperative as the Ten Commandments of Multiculturalism.

Unfortunately, there are always more updates to be done on the victims of Europe's "hate crime" laws. In the last Commentary, The insidious chilling of debate, "thought criminals" David Irving and Ernst Zundel were awaiting their fates in German and Austrian jail cells. As you know, in December, Austria freed Irving, and in February, Germany sentenced Zundel to five years in prison. The 67-year-old Zundel has been incarcerated in Germany for almost four years for the "crime" of publicly disputing the official version of Holocaust history. White Pride Denied

Did you know that the terms "Black Power," "Black Supremacy," and "La Raza" (The Race) are all trademarks that have long been approved by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office? Even the Black Panther Party's slogan "Burn, Baby, Burn" (which still evokes the threat of rioting and mayhem), had no problem winning official trademark recognition. And then there's "African Pride," "Black Pride," "Chippewa Pride," "Cuban Pride," "Indian Pride," "Jewish Pride," "Red Pride," and lots more -- all aimed at acknowledging a race or ethnicity. And all terms approved by the U.S. government. There's Never Enough Blacks

In the mid-1980s, officials of the national NAACP engaged in several sessions with various Hollywood producers and other bigwigs in the industry. As these representatives of the country's "official" civil rights organization had done many times before, in other venues, they came to cajole, and, if necessary, to threaten and intimidate Hollywood's powerful entertainment figures into opening up more roles for blacks in front of and behind the camera. Once again, the NAACP was playing the muscle man for a constituency determined to get their "piece of the pie." Un-American Intimidation Tactics Will Not Silence Muslims
Ahmad Al-Akhras, Ph.D. - 8/4/2007
In the short yet painful period of Senator Joseph McCarthy’s prominence, he accused people who disagreed with his views of being Communists and many were ostracized in society. People became afraid to challenge him, fearing for their reputations and livelihoods. McCarthy’s relentlessly overreaching tactics included investigating various governmental agencies, universities, and even the United Nations. He routinely coerced individuals and institutions to march to his orders or else suffer the consequences. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Political Correctness

Self-hating Americans: Unsatisfactory Explanations Liberal Guilt Probably the most common explanation for Left radicalism, and its program to overturn and level American society, is “Liberal guilt”. Though this attitude has had a lot of brilliant and witty fun poked at it, it at least concedes the good intentions of the bearer. The thesis is that the fortunate children of wealth and privilege, upon encountering the reality of the poor, unprivileged and oppressed, feel guilty at their unearned fortune and embrace redistributionist and leveling ideologies, even if they are ineffective or downright counterproductive.

There are two different camps among those concerned with the problems of the modern West: Those who ascribe them to a powerful and influential minority who champion certain ideologies, and those who ascribe them to a lack of cultural confidence and structural, religious and metaphysical problems in the West in general.

One of the bloggers who read this essay stated that “Stuff like this makes me think the f***ing Jihadis ought to just destroy our culture.” OK, but what if that was the intention? I know there is some debate about just how influential radical Leftism and cultural Marxism are in weakening the West. Many observers believe this weakness is mainly caused by a general Western loss of self-confidence, an idea — widely shared even by many so-called right-wingers — that non-discrimination in all walks of life is not just the highest, but the only virtue, and finally, Western guilt for slavery, colonia...

Leftist lawyer Gloria Allred likes to say that there’s a difference between “free speech” and “hate speech” – the former being protected by the U.S. Constitution, while the latter must be criminalized.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - who previously evinced no interest or belief in Persian history - was quick to declare his rage and called the movie "an insult to Persian history." Ahmadinejad, who had thus far evinced no interest or belief in Persian history (and, despite protests by the Iranian people, has taken absolutely no action to stop Passargad, site of the tomb of Cyrus the Great, from being flooded behind Sivand Dam) suddenly went into a rage and declared this movie an insult to Persian history.

I have listened to Don Imus for what seems like most of my adult life. I never saw the MSNBC simulcast, since I never did understand why a radio program needed to be televised. Like others, from time to time, I would make the mistake of endowing the program with a character that it was never meant to have. Especially in recent years, since Washington's invasion of Iraq, and as my politics have drifted away from support of Republicans, I wanted Imus to be a voice that is seldom heard on the airwaves. Since there are so few voices on radio that do not engage in worshipful awe of the neocons and ... Democrats whitewash Black History Month

We’re told the only thing new in the world is the history that we don’t already know. That adage applies well to Black History Month, which virtually ignores the role of the Democratic Party in promulgating slavery and racism. One might assume the election of the first black Democrat to the U.S. Senate was a milestone achieved decades ago, considering the party is the nation’s oldest. But not until 1993, when Illinois elected Carol Moseley Braun, did an African American Democrat serve in the country’s most august legislative body. Dhimmocracy in America

I am sometimes criticized for being too focused on the left-wing of the political spectrum and ignoring the problems caused by right-wing parties. First of all, the line of separation between what constitutes “Left” and “Right” in politics now tends to become blurred. And second of all, only a fool believes that everybody on one side is always right, and everybody on the other side is always wrong.

There’s a valuable Swedish proverb which seems to have been lost to much of the world. It goes, “Fear less, hope more; Eat less, chew more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Love more, and all good things will be yours”. This is a proverb certainly lost to a significant part of the world – a part of the world with a very different interpretation of “good things” - a collection of individuals and organizations who, at face value, appear to survive, and even thrive, solely off victimhood. The victim's basic stance is that he or she is not responsible for what happened, is always mo... Racism As A Leftist Scam

Samuel P. Huntington’s “The Clash of Civilizations” thesis has generated a lot of debate, and some justified criticism. He has been accused of simplification, but also for underestimating the case of Islam. Huntington does talk about “the bloody borders” of the Islamic world. However, he has also stated that there is nothing implicit in Islamic teachings that has created the current turmoil among Muslims, but rather the huge number of young men, the primary instigators of violence in any culture. This is obviously not the case. If Huntington had read books such as “The Legacy of Jihad” by Andr... Multiculturalism and the Enlightenment

Multiculturalism as a mass movement that has achieved a virtual hegemony in Western discourse was a product of the 1960s and 70s, and was probably exported from the United States.

I have heard people who have grown up in former Communist countries say that we in the West are at least as brainwashed by Multiculturalism and Political Correctness as they ever were with Communism, perhaps more so.

Sam Vaknin, Ph.D. - 9/25/2005
Spanish settlements in the territory of the current-day USA owned slaves as early as 1526. Twenty one African chattel slaves were first brought to British North America ( to Jamestown, Virginia) in 1619. They joined white indentured laborers (servants) from all over Europe as well as Indian (Native-American) and Caribbean slaves. All the colonies legalized race-based (black) slavery and introduced "slave codes" by 1670. In total, 10-13 million Africans were abducted (mainly by other Africans and Arabs) and sold as slaves (mostly in the Americas) between 1620 and 1880. Myths of the American Civil War
Sam Vaknin, Ph.D. - 9/9/2005
The Civil War (1861-5) has spawned numerous myths and falsities.

Minority Success: Big Problem For Democrats - Who Now Seek A Solution
Ross Kaminsky - 8/10/2005
Much of the reason for the Democrats' notable lack of success is their failed class-warfare economic rhetoric. While they argue that they are the Party of the little guy, that little guy (especially the American version) generally believes in opportunity and self-reliance. Most Americans (outside of leadership of unions and the Democratic Party) do not consider transfer payments, "soaking the rich", anti-competitive regulations, and tariffs which increase the country's cost of living to be the preferred tools of economic policy.
