Buckley—for things like his support of “civil disobedience”—moderate rioting and provocations, as at Selma Bridge, leading to immoderate riots which burned city blocks. Conservatives also objected...

Earlier:“No Hiding Place”—The Woke Virus Spreads World-Wide Via The English Language To me as a Venezuelan immigrant, the full meaning of the federal holiday for Martin Luther King, Jr. finally became clear two days ago: San Francisco’s “Reparations Committee” recommended that the city pay $5 million to every black resident and forgive their debts, despite...

We first posted VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow’s Time To Rethink Martin Luther King Day in 2015, and we intend to repost it until we have, so to speak, Overcome. Peter’s fundamental point was that the cost of the King Cult to White America, especially to white children, was too high. Rather than repost it in... Read More

Earlier by Peter Brimelow: 2022: Time To Rethink Martin Luther King Day? Now More Than Ever! Martin Luther King Jr. Day, still underway, is now the holiest day of the Left’s Liturgical Year (although Jan 6 is coming up fast). Yet the civic religion that canonized King is rooted in myths, half-truths, and outright lies,... Read More

Coming up to the 38th Martin Luther King Day, it is obvious to everyone that integration has failed. The Floyd and Black Lives Matter Hoax riots last year, the ridiculous debate over Critical Race Theory, invites a question no one, least of all the worthies who run Conservatism, Inc., wants to ask: Now what? And... Read More
VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow called for a rethinking of Martin Luther King Day in 2015, arguing that MLK was a deeply flawed figure and an inappropriate role model for American whites. Now this is even more the case, since it appears the U.S. may be about to acquire yet a second Hate Whitey Day, in... Read More

Lee, born Stratford, Virginia, on January 19, 1807, and the the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr., born January 15, 1929,... Read More

As America braces for the annual fawn-fest on Martin Luther King Day (January 15), it’s worth noting that a recent revelation from the FBI archives might have threatened King’s hallowed status—if it had been honestly reported. But coverage in the Washington Post in particular exemplified what President Trump calls “fake news.” On November 4, 2017,... Read More

A Loyalty Test For Careerist Conservatives?
Among the sins that neoconservative enforcers ascribed to presidential candidate Ron Paul, one that weighed particularly heavy for the Weekly Standard’s editors is a statement Paul once made (or might have made) describing Martin Luther King as a “world class philanderer who beat up his paramours.” According to writer James Kirchick [The Company Ron Paul...

The holidays are over, and America slouches happily toward the next one, which is Martin Luther King Day in just two weeks. In Rocky Mount, North Carolina, the locals are already celebrating by a racial power struggle between whites and blacks. What the New York Times reported about the conflict last month tells us something... Read More
Martin Luther King has replaced Jesus Christ as the central figure in human redemptive history. This year's Holiday Season, as Christmas is now called, brought forth a torrent of neoconservative moralizing about King and the civil rights movement. One standout illustration: the December 12 syndicated column, "Trent Lott Must Resign," in which Charles Krauthammer told... Read More
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is taking one kick to its shins after another, from the Robert Hanssen spy scandal to its screw-up of evidence in the Oklahoma City bombing to the most recent tale of how piles of its own weapons and equipment have suddenly vanished, and all this on top of the Waco...
