Beware of a new epidemic, Gibsmedat Fever!

Blacks with an entitlement complex think the government that freed their long-forgotten ancestors now owes them back wages. This became San Francisco’s second Black Plague when they entertained the ridiculous idea of collective compensation. (more…)

We should talk about slavery. Goodness knows, it’s not a subject we hear talked about much these days. That’s my dose of irony, now for some history. If you were at school or college today in the West, you would know that no slavery existed until a man called Jim Crow had his people — probably the Ku Klux Klan, or Donald Trump’s ancestors — sail to Africa, cast black people into chains, and then bring them back to America to pick cotton and be lynched.

Russia Proposes Law Declaring All Feminists to Be Extremists

Everyone in their right mind knows that most women are extremely annoying, extremely entitled, and extremely irrational, which automatically qualifies them as extremists. (more…)

One of the most neurotic things about white people is the desperation so many of them have to be perceived as moral. Most will virtue-signal in a variety of cheap and easy ways. Those who take it seriously will often descend into activism. But there is one way to virtue signal — indeed, it is the best way — that will sanctify one’s morality for all to see: care more for outgroup members than for ingroup members.

After all, what motivation could there be — other than pure angelic virtue — for doing something so utterly self-defeating? (more…)

Since the abolition of slavery in the West over 150 years ago, the Left has weaponized it against white people for the purpose of gaining power. Along with the Jewish Holocaust, slavery of blacks in the New World has become nothing less than a blood libel which whites must suffer if they want to thrive in the very civilization their ancestors created. That Leftists don’t care about slavery per se should become obvious when noting four things they’d rather ignore: (more…)

It’s hard to be the first at anything these days, but here is Spencer J. Quinn’s The No College Club, which is billed as the first white-positive young adult (YA) novel. Based on the story’s contents, hopefully it’s the first of many in a much-needed genre.

Having been the furthest thing from “bookish” as an adolescent, I’ve never read anything else in the YA sphere, but that doesn’t prevent me from having tangentially absorbed a decent amount of the genre. Our modern era fast-tracks much youth-oriented fiction to the bookshelves and silver screens across the globe, for it acts as a near-perfect vehicle to poison the minds of future generations.

Regular Counter-Currents writer Spencer J. Quinn had a fantastic conversation on a Telegram stream with Pox Populi last week about his recently-published pro-white young adult novel, The No College Club, issued by The White People’s Press. They also discussed dissident literature, race, history, slavery, and a number of other interesting topics. Tune in! (more…)

Jim Goad’s The Redneck Manifesto is a groundbreaking, irreverent polemic against the stigmatization of the white working class in American culture. It was published by Simon and Schuster in 1997. In pugnacious and often hilarious prose, Goad shreds the racial and political taboos of the era and slaughtered many a sacred cow. The Redneck Manifesto brought a critical eye to then-radical terms like “white supremacy,” racial justice, and “anti-fascism” which had yet to reach widespread exposure outside of Left-wing universities, but would terrorize the American political landscape in subsequent decades.

After nearly 20 years of exile in New York City, I recently returned home to the South. I went to New York for a job and arrived full of hope, delighted at the prospect of a new life in “the greatest city in the world.” My preconceptions about the city were almost all positive, and, as I later discovered, heavily romanticized.

“I’ve just got a new record of Civil War music,” my brother recently bragged over the telephone.

He wanted some snappy tunes to listen to, and mentioned that the Nazi marches he is so fond of have been banned from YouTube. “I’ve discovered Italian Fascist marches,” he said. “They’re very melodic and . . . so operatic.” He referred to a long-ago record cover. “They’re so warm.” (more…)

The link between the transatlantic slave trade and industrial growth in Britain is a recurring theme in public discussions. There is a widespread assumption that the slave trade’s profitability required Britain to compensate the descendants of Africans, since it helped to enrich some institutions. It is true that the slave trade made profits, but its contribution to the economy was marginal. Technological change rather than the slave trade was the force that propelled the Industrial Revolution. (more…)
