Race First: The Ideological and Organizational Struggles of Marcus Garvey and the United Negro Improvement Association
Westport: Greenwood Press, 1976

The late nineteenth century saw a collapse of black political power and sovereignty, both in America and in Africa. Contrary to the wishes of far-sighted men such as Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, and Abraham Lincoln, freedmen were not given their own territory outside the boundaries of the United States after their emancipation.

They [the Black Panthers] exist as a continual barometer to measure ourselves against — both in terms of lessons that have been garnered as well as challenges in terms of where we can improve and deepen our analysis. — Ainslin Pulley, co-founder of Black Lives Matter Chicago

The place had sunk back into its wonted quiet. The blended murmur of the unceasing city, which during the party had been shut out and forgotten, now penetrated the walls of the great building and closed it once more upon these lives. (more…)

Kerry R. Bolton
Generation ’68: The Elite Revolution and Its Legacy
Allentown, Penn.: Antelope Hill, 2023

A Left-wing freakout took place among students across the world in 1968, most prominently in France, where student protesters occupied universities and factories, clashed with police, and chanted the names of prominent Communists and Leftists: “Marx! Mao! Marcuse!” France’s trade unions went on strikes in sympathy, and the event remains the largest general strike in French history. The protests were so intense that France’s then-President, Charles de Gaulle, briefly left the country. (more…)

Ayo H. Kimathi
Jews are the Problem, second edition
Crestview, Fla.: Money Tree Publishing, 2023

Ayo H. Kimathi received considerable scorn in the mainstream media for his Black Nationalist racial activism while working as a contractor for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2013. At the time, he was making many anti-white statements that would have been tolerated during the Summer of Floyd in 2020, but weren’t tolerated in 2013. (more…)

Introduction

It can be instructive to look at the racial politics of 50 or 60 years ago, so here are three illustrative episodes. The first section below paraphrases six pages of Tom Wolfe’s essay “Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers” (1970). The second summarizes Wikipedia’s article about the Black Power movement (1965-c. 1985). The third gives an account of Afrocentrism (1970 to date). Each shows us a precursor of Black Lives Matter. (more…)

Ever see one of those “reaction” videos where modern blacks listen to Led Zeppelin songs from 50 years ago . . . and like them?

There’s something both endearing and discomfiting about such spectacles. Led Zeppelin is a white thing. Blacks aren’t supposed to like them. If they were, I never would have made a habit of blasting “Immigrant Song” at red lights to drown out whatever thudding hip-hop ditty the car next to me was blaring at volumes loud enough to dislodge my tooth fillings.

Putin Goes Full-Blown Antagonistic Toward Satanic Anglo-Saxon West

From the very start of the conflict in Ukraine I’ve made clear that I don’t take a side, because the very fact that a World War is brewing while the world economy is already teetering on collapse will be bad for the United States no matter who wins, assuming that there will be any winners when the radioactive dust settles.

Philip Larkin

The writer Philip Larkin (1922-1985) was born on August 9, 1922, and this essay is part of a commemoration of his centenary. — Ed.

Reading the jazz criticism of the poet Philip Larkin today, the most noticeable feature is how much of the music he did not like. His antipathy towards certain major artists now seems almost incomprehensible. (more…)

On July 12, 2022, TV One News aired a feature on “the rise of online anti-Semitism.” It might be supposed the item was produced to accelerate the introduction of the “hate speech laws.” (more…)

White people get a lot of flak, and most of this criticism is unfair and ridiculous. Whether it be 80 IQ hood rats making excuses for their situation, Jews blaming whites for everything under the sun, or the critical race theory crowd claiming that whites created everything but that this is somehow a bad thing, most anti-white blood libels are simply ridiculous copes for the failures of other races.

Of all the towering luminaries of the civil rights movement, Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. (MLK) stands out as the most notable. In fact, it’s hardly too much to say that his name was practically synonymous with the movement itself during the tumultuous times in which his presence so galvanized the country. Who could deny that his deeds changed America profoundly, and without them, that things might be much different? (more…)

Eight of the 10 blacks who actually celebrate Kwanzaa.

1,401 words

Public officials still pretend Kwanzaa is a real holiday. It’s taught to schoolchildren as one of the holidays of the “holiday” season, even though nobody knows anyone who actually celebrates it. It’s a day we’re all forced to pretend that being black is a religion, just like Christianity and Judaism. (more…)

Jack Murphy, aka John Goldman, an allegedly conservative “masculinity coach” who will get very angry with you if you suggest he’s gay, even though he’s said publicly that he’s had sex with men and has made videos while using a dildo on himself. He also used to frequently interact with a recent mass shooter on Twitter.

Lyndon McLeod, Jack Murphy, & the Perils of Performative Masculinity

As a wee beardless youth in the brick-and-cement ’burbs of Philadelphia, I found myself watching an old Robert Mitchum film on TV one night and wondering how he managed to be so cool. Then it suddenly occurred to me that his secret was that he didn’t think about being cool; he simply was cool. To become conscious about being cool was to take a long leap away from even hoping to be cool. (more…)
