In terms of collective survival, whites are in a no-win situation where no favorable outcome is possible, laws and mores against genocide, racism, and discrimination notwithstanding. We are bound to lose no matter what we do as long as we continue to adhere to the enemy’s rules. (more…)

Boldly going where no man has gone before: television's first interracial kiss on "Star Trek"
When most people see whites dating non-whites, the immediate assumption is that there is something wrong with the white. Usually the defects are obvious.
