For years, Portland, OR had an unshakable reputation as America’s whitest city:
“How the whitest city in America appears through the eyes of its black residents” (Washington Post, 2015)
“Portland is the Whitest U.S. City – Why Demographics are Rapidly Shifting” (GoLocalPDX, 2015)
“The Racist History of Portland, the Whitest City in America” (The Atlantic, 2016)
“‘Livability’ in the Whitest City in America” (Story Maps, 2020)
“Is Portland still the whitest big city in America?” (Oregon Live, 2022, and the answer was “yes”)
But now, in what some will view as a milestone and others as a millstone, the City of Roses has been demoted to America’s second-whitest city. (more…)

I came to racialism in a curious way. There is a well-known singer in our country, Daniel Landa, who sang in the skinhead band Orlik and then went on to a solo music career, where he recorded many albums and composed several musicals. Landa is a role model for a lot of white guys in the Czech Republic: He’s a tough guy, a wrestler, a spiritual guru, a car racer, and a music composer. (more…)

3,010 wordsI want all you skinheads to get up on your feet.
Put your braces together and your boots on your feet.
And give me some of that old moon-stomping.
— Symarip, “Skinhead Moonstomp”People look at you in the street. Makes you feel proud. — a skinhead
Tribalism and Western youth go together, and from the 1960s to the 1980s in Britain the most feared tribe were skinheads. (more…)

El artículo de William Pierce “Los Skinheads y la Ley” es un provechoso punto de partida para tratar un problema importante del movimiento Nacionalista Blanco, un problema que yo llamo populismo prematuro. (more…)

1,937 wordsAt first glance, it may seem as if the 2001 film The Believer has a lot to offer today’s dissident Right. It’s about a self-loathing Jew, masterfully played by Ryan Gosling in his first cinematic starring role, who becomes a Nazi skinhead and is then forced into desperate soul-searching as violent plans he puts into place come to fruition.
At second glance, however, no. Same with the third, fourth, fifth, and all the other glances. No. As a film that addresses the Jewish Question head on, The Believer has almost nothing to offer white advocates, nationalists, or identitarians of any stripe. This film is not about white people; furthermore, it doesn’t even seem to care about white people. (more…)

2,107 wordsLots of books about English skinheads and the band Skrewdriver have been published in English. Personally, I consider the best book on this topic to be Nazi Rock Star by Paul London, aka Paul Burnley, ex-singer of the band No Remorse. This book offers the most comprehensive look at Skrewdriver and goes into Ian Stuart’s childhood, explaining his ideology and motivations. (more…)

3,788 wordsMan can work musically with his zeitgeist, analyzing it and then either accepting it as one’s own or radically rejecting it. Here I would like to deal with the latter in a certain limited territory where this phenomenon has occurred to a quite large extent: the Right-wing music scene in Italy. (more…)

3,396 wordsNigel Brown spent over 30 years in the skinhead subculture. He played in the Rock Against Communism (RAC) scene starting in 1985: No Remorse, White Lightning, Broadsword, Retaliator, Celtic Warrior, and others. No Remorse, Fortress, and Celtic Warrior in particular were among the most famous skinhead bands of their day. Now Nigel is concentrating on his solo project.
Nigel is a very nice and intelligent guy. He recently moved from Australia to Berlin, where he lives with his girlfriend. I believe we will hear more about him and his music. (more…)

Director Tony Kaye’s anti-skinhead morality tale American History X (1998) is proof that propaganda is far from an exact science. Just as Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket caused a surge in Marine recruitment, American History X actually increases audience sympathies with neo-Nazi skinheads, despite its best efforts to present them as hateful hypocrites and losers.

Written & directed by Daniel Ragussis
Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Toni Collette, Tracy Letts, & Devin DruidImperium bears some similarities to the 1998 film American History X, which has the same theme. Both come across as attempts to demonize white identity by associating it with unsavory characters. (more…)
