The Western Tower of Babel Continues Its Collapse
What is happening in the US is happening everywhere in the Western world. As the empire itself is rotten, so must be its constituent parts. In the US white parents have to take their kids out of public schools, because public schools are indoctrination centers where white kids are indoctrinated that they, their parents, and... Read More
Three decades ago in my book, The New Color Line, I pointed out that Alfred W. Blumrosen, compliance chief of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, turned the statutory language of the 1964 Civil Rights Act on its head and used the EEOC to create race-based legal privileges for blacks, thereby reducing white Americans to second-class...

White people have been destroying white people for as long as I remember. I don’t mean only in military wars, such as WW I and WW II, which destroyed the English and Europe and left them as American vassel states. In wars of a different kind the damage has been as terrible. In fact, worse,... Read More
In my lifetime I have watched the complete overthrow of American men. The only role that they have left is to be a hate object for feminists. I think the overthrow was initiated with the 1964 Civil Rights Act as implemented, contrary to the statutory language in the law, by the EEOC bureaucracy. Congress explicitly... Read More
From 22 years ago Is the multicultural campaign really about diversity? Or is it about stamping out Western civilization and the “white race” itself? College students will tell you that a university education today is a guilt trip for whites. The purpose is to prevent whites from appreciating and absorbing their own culture and to... Read More
Traditionally a few Southern states have provided the backbone of America’s military. But times have changed. Today white Southern men don’t like black female sergeants in their face. They don’t like homosexual sergeants in their face either. They don’t like comments from non-military friends about their officers wearing high heels and skirts. And they have... Read More
Taki Points Out that the Jews in Hollywood Are Doing the Same Work on White People that the Nazi Filmmakers Did on Jews “Hollywood is hard at work in maintaining the myth that everything that the West has achieved since the Greeks was due to the white man’s cruelty and ability to steal from the...

Does any large US city any longer have a white male mayor? Boston’s mayor is an asian female, Michelle Wu. She recently held a racially segregated holiday party for Boston officials that excluded white officials, and she justified it as carving out spaces for people of color. When white people allegedly did that, it was... Read More
“From status to contract” was the way Sir Henry Maine described the emergence of equality before the law from the status-based law of the past when class distinctions determined rights. Today in the US and Great Britain race distinctions determine rights, with “people of color” having higher rights than white citizens who have been reduced... Read More
As I recently explained, American universities are far more committed to creating an incompetent society consisting of a Tower of Babel than they are to creating well educated citizens that the society needs. For decades American universities have discriminated against white applicants of merit in favor of less capable “preferred minorities. This is called “white... Read More
I explained and documented in my 1995 book, The New Color Line, that the EEOC had created in defiance of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment a two-tier legal system in which “preferred minorities” enjoyed rights superior to those of white American citizens to university admissions, employment, and promotion. Less qualified blacks... Read More
After nearly six decades of racial discrimination against white American males in university admissions, the Supreme Court belatedly struck down the admission of blacks to universities on the basis of race. The American public, still majority white but declining, supports the Supreme Court’s defense of the 14th Amendment that requires equal treatment. The law schools,... Read More
In the United States of America white people are now officially second class citizens as this 16 minute video by an Asian man makes completely clear: There is much in the video to disturb us, but notice especially that most of the colored and white young people denouncing white people as a race have been...

I have been watching its arrival for a number of years, and now it has arrived–the transformation of our society from merit-based to status-based. This is a major revolution. “From status to contract” was Sir Henry Maine’s description of the rise of a merit-based society in which aristocratic privilege was eliminated and equality under the...

Quota-based hiring and promotion has had deleterious effects on those awarded status-based preferment. The best among them are left in doubt whether they earned their place. The worst understand that it is an entitlement independent of performance, which, of course, undermines not only their performance but the performance of everyone else as well. If a... Read More
Henry Sumner Maine in 1861 wrote that “the movement of the progressive societies has hitherto been a movement from Status to Contract.” Maine is referring to the rise of merit from the Enlightenment and its replacement of aristocratic status as the basis for advancement. In the past few decades today’s progressives have turned this movement... Read More
What transformed white people from proud warriors into sheeple? Some say it was Jews teaching them guilt. But Jean Raspail in his now suppressed novel says it was the consequence of the degeneracy in Western thought. Today where can you find in literature, Hollywood, media, public statements by Western politicians, and public policies in the... Read More
The US military is in its final stage of collapse. The indoctrinated and brainwashed high command think that a Tower of Babel is what it takes to confront Russia and China. Of course, a tower of babel is precisely that. There is no unity. But the lack of unity is what the dumbshit US Air... Read More
A mantra of our time is that white people have “white privilege.” Here is the latest shocking example of “white privilege:” Here is an example from Britain: How long has it been since you have seen a corporate advertisement, or any kind of advertisement, in which there is a white couple with white children? Miscegenation... Read More
In 1945 the United States emerged from a world war with the only intact industrial economy in the world. The British, European, Soviet, and Japanese economies were in ruins. China and the rest of Asia, Africa, and South America had undeveloped economies, later renamed third world economies. Additionally, the US held most of the world’s... Read More
The 1896 Supreme Court Plessy decision, which gave us “separate but equal” is widely considered today to be incorrect. Legal scholars maintain that the private railroad company violated the Constitution by separating people in railway cars on the basis of race. Justice John Marshall Harlan’s dissent–“Our Constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes... Read More
Two Georgetown University law professors in a private conversation between themselves expressed concern that the students at the bottom of their classes were black. I believe the professors had some concern for the black students, but I am confident their main concern was “what are we going to do?” In American universities and public schools... Read More
Yes, the Third Reich is undergoing resurrection, but not by white supremacists. It is the white liberals in the Democrat Party and their presstitute propaganda machine—New York Times, CNN, NPR, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and the rest of the presstitute whores— that comprise the new Nazi movement. The only difference is that this time the target... Read More
On occasion a reader takes exception to my description of Americans as insouciant. It is not our fault, the reader says. We are misled by disinformation fed to us by media and authorities we can no longer trust. In a way the reader has a point, but not really. Anyone who can recognize disinformation and... Read More
The Nasdaq stock exchange has told its listed companies that they must appoint to their boards a “self-identified” female and a lesbian or transgender or some other sexual deviant or be delisted from the stock exchange. Think about this. A stock exchange has no right to structure the corporate boards of the companies listed on... Read More
After 55 years of special privileges and special pleading for black Americans, where do we stand? Integration has failed. Black Americans, or more correctly, those who speak for them, want black-only towns, black-only college dorms, black-only dining halls, and a black national anthem. Except for the black anthem, that’s what they had a half century... Read More
Identity Politics is turning white people into a delegitimized group that it is permissible to hate and to discriminate against. White Americans are being turned into undesirables and are being delegitimized just as Jews were delegitimatized in Nazi Germany. Curiously enough, as I understand it, the Identity Politics being used to delegitimize white people has... Read More
Columnists have had a field day with Justice Sandra Day O’Connor’s Supreme Court decision [Grutter PDF]. In effect, O’Connor declared diversity to be a “compelling state interest” that trumps the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution. Thomas Sowell described the five-member majority as “vacancies without resignations.” Shelby Steele declared the ruling “a victory for... Read More
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled against the racial quota system used in the University of Michigan’s undergraduate admissions program (Gratz case) [PDF] and for the racial quota system used in the Law School’s admission program (Grutter case). [PDF] The difference is that “the procedures employed by the University of Michigan’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions... Read More
Sometime this month, perhaps before this column is published, the Supreme Court will rule on the University of Michigan’s racial quotas. Both in law school and undergraduate admissions, the university intentionally discriminates against white applicants in favor of “preferred minorities.” It is obvious that the university’s policy violates equality before the law and the Constitution’s...

pportunity to offset the effect on elections of the black vote by gaining the Latin or Hispanic vote for Republicans. From this standpoint, amnesty for Latin illegals and permission for Mexican trucking companies to deliver goods in the U.S. make political sense. However, the combination of amnesty and quotas spells the end of the American... Read More
University of California President Richard C. Atkinson is caught between a rock and a hard place. In order to remain politically correct—a requisite for keeping his job—he had to engage in hate speech and hate thought, offenses that mandate sensitivity training if not prosecution. California’s Proposition 209 forbids privileged university admissions on the basis of... Read More
“President Bush might succeed in building an anti-missile defense system and invigorating our economy with a tax cut. But does it really matter?…” The rot in American intellectual life has reached a putrid state. Nothing better illustrates the decline in education and the ability to think than the argument over “affirmative action.” Affirmative action means... Read More
