I was a small skinny boy of 11 when the powers that be decided to advance their political goals by busing white kids to black schools and black schools to white schools. At the time, we lived in Inglewood, California and our part of Inglewood was still white. The school bus would take me across Inglewood to a group of three schools, all right next to each other: an elementary school, a junior high school and a high school.
From the start, things were different for me - and not in a good sort of way. I found myself bullied as never before and being chased around campus. My memories of the first three years in those ghetto schools (they were over 90% black) are fuzzy but I'll never forget the events of my last few months of Morningside Highschool.
Threats and taunts had become an almost daily occurrence but my experience in Latin class was especially noteworthy. Our instructor was a holocaust survivor. A Polish Catholic who probably had many tales to tell and who would have made our class a fascinating one - except for the fact that he was terrified of his own "students". Clearly, he had experienced abuse similar to what I had experienced. It bothered me to contemplate an old man, who had already gone through so much suffering in his life, being tormented by the feral animals that passed for "students".
This Latin instructor had set up a political system in his class whereby the students would elect a president, a secretary and maybe one or two other officers. It was unclear what duties each "official" would have in class and it was unclear what was supposed to be accomplished through such a system. What was clear, from the start, was that the black students would use this system to purge the class of any non-blacks. There were only about five non-blacks in the entire class of thirty or so. When the blacks overwhelmingly elected a white student as "president", the boy was initially happy. But, as the harassment increased and the threats and attacks mounted, the white "president" soon realized that he had been targeted for elimination from the class. Electing him "president" was only a means whereby the blacks could have more fun while doing so.
After the first white student had been so eliminated from our class, the blacks moved on to the second white student and did the same to him. After he left, the only white girl left of her own accord. They then elected a Hispanic student who, if memory serves me right, did not stick around for harassment; he left immediately. When they started the next election, it was obvious that I, as the only non-black remaining, would be selected. Indeed I was. For the rest of class that day, I was subject to objects being thrown at me, getting gum stuck in my hair and incessant taunts. All this was right in front of our teacher - who feared too much for his own safety to do anything about it.
The moment class was over, and I stepped outside, they were all waiting for me. Nearly 30 blacks stood around me slapping me, throwing things at me, insulting me with racial slurs and threatening me. More blacks joined in from other classes. It was a true mob attack - but I showed no fear at all. By then I'd learned that showing fear only makes matters worse so I kept steadily walking. One of them said, "those Mexican sho is cool (back then "cool" meant fearless)!" Over the course of a few minutes, the mob started to disperse and I was approaching my next class. Just then, a stone whizzed past my head just missing me and hitting the wall in front of me with a loud thump.
Up to that point I had not told my parents about the abuse I was subject to at school. This time I had no choice but to tell them; I could not return to that class. They made some calls and made some sort of arrangement to keep me away from Latin class - but the threats and intimidation continued. One day I was approached by three black kids who held a knife to my throat. "We don't like the way you look!" they announced. Luckily, a black girl came to my rescue, telling them they should be more interested in her than in me. Another day, as I sat on a bench minding my own business, a black boy sat next to me and asked, "what are you?" I told him "white". "Then why you dark?" he retorted and I replied I'm just tanned. Then he said, "As long as you ain't no Jew. I don't like Jews."
While not all the blacks in those ghetto schools were violent and hateful, enough were to make the experience one that I would not wish on any child. This was my childhood experience with diversity - and it's the story I recently told a large group of fellow employees at our mandatory "diversity training".

"Confessions of an Honest Black American"
I wish I could take credit for this but, obviously, I did not write it. I found it a while back and wanted to share it with you:
My distant cousins in African live in abject poverty, are surrounded by political corruption and exist in a perennial state of health crisis due to AIDS and other endemic diseases.
Yet here am I — as black as they — enjoying the comfort of my modest American home, the owner of two automobiles, and access to the most advanced health care system ever known.
Why the difference?
It can be summed in simple observation: My African kin are the living legacy of our African heritage. I, on the other hand, am the beneficiary of Western European culture.
Granted, that observation smacks of racial betrayal. But it is also a matter of reality. White people, once free from the medieval madness of feudalism, applied themselves to industry and, having learned to bridal social injustice, blessed their cultures – and the rest of the world – with standards of living that would have been the envy of the greatest emperors of antiquity.
It was a matter of fate that my ancestors were snatched from their African village by slave traders. Am I glad they suffered the pain and indignities of slavery? Of course not. But I am fortunate. And I am grateful that they got on that boat!
There are some who call me a fool for ignoring the lingering injustice that our African American community endures. For every dollar earned by white families, they say, we earn 62 cents. Indeed, statistics are cold calculators that cannot be ignored. $31,969 was the medium income for black families in 2008. White families earned more — much more — $50,673!
Families living in Africa, however earned a mere $315.
I ask my black American friends: Where would you rather be? In America earning 62 percent compared to white Americans? Or in Africa, earning 1 percent compared to black Americans?
Do you not understand that our African cousins would need to work 100 years to earn what we earn in one year?
And do I dare mention the Reverend Jeremiah Wright? Shall I mention that, after a career of denouncing our white countrymen, Rev. Wright retired in a white community in a $1.6 million home? Did you know that the annual wages of 5,000 Africans would hardly cover the cost?
No, I am not betraying my race; I am stating my case. The descendants of American slaves are the blessed beneficiaries of Western culture. White people gave us flight, electricity and computers. It was their culture that reached the moon, discovered and unraveled the mysteries of DNA, and probed the depths of human anatomy. They attached contraptions on their buggies and, a generation later, drove the world along Interstate highways. They replaced famine with food so abundant that obesity has become our great health concern. They connected us with terminals for traveling through air at 500 miles per hour and terminals for traveling through cyberspace at the speed of light. We gave them the Motown sound. They gave us the technology to allow that sound to be recorded and heard around the world.
Lecture me on the evils of the white devils if you will. And, for the most part, I will agree. But I will do so here, in America, not Africa. And I will remind you that in America white people elect black leaders. In Africa black people depose white leaders. And for that, their cultures suffer.
How foolish we are in our blind racist rage to destroy the western culture that enriches every aspect of our lives. How foolish to amuses ourselves with grand delusions when, in reality, we are merely regressing to the pathetic lives of our ancient culture.
Western culture is rapidly eroding. When it is gone, where will we go? Back to Africa? Back to bathing our babies in cow urine? Back to subsistence living in grass huts? Back to the witch doctors and grotesque lip plates? Back to the bloated bellies of emaciated children? Back to tribal wars and brutal chieftains? Back to ignorance and high mortality? Do we really want to go back to that Africa?
Yes, I am grateful my ancestors got on that boat. And you should be grateful, too — while it lasts.

Our line in the sand
Each of us has his own line in the sand. When this line is crossed, we take a stand and fight. When I say "fight", I'm not talking about sending letters to congressmen or attending protests while holding signs. No, I'm talking about standing firm against the "authorities" and making it clear that blood will be spilled if any more aggression is committed against you. Every so often we hear about individuals whose line in the sand had been crossed and that person snapped - but his resistance was futile because he stood alone.

"Journey of Man: A Genetic Odyssey"
My mother just recommended I watch the thirteen part youtube video "Journey of Man". She thought I would find it interesting and claimed it "has nothing to do with evolution". There is something in my tradition about honoring one's mother and father so I watched it.
In this video, geneticist Spencer Wells traces the genetic lineage of Mankind from Bushmen to Australia and then from Bushmen to Asian, Europe and the Americas. He travels to central Asia and meets a man who is, reportedly, a direct descendant of the man who fathered all Europeans, Asians and Americans. At the end of his journey, he visits some Navajos and explains to them that they are related the Chukchi and how their ancestors crossed the Bering Straight so many thousands of years ago. It is an inspiring video and very entertaining. I couldn't help but notice that there were certain questions that Wells studiously avoided:
1) He speaks of a "quantum leap" in intellect that occurred 50,000 years ago in Africa due to climate change. We should be asking, if such climate change brought about advanced mental capabilities at that time in Africa, couldn't such events have happened at later dates and in different places as well as a result of other climatic challenges?
2) He mentions that the Bushmen are near extinction but does not mention that they used to inhabit much of Africa and were replaced by blacks. While he is quick to give them credit for their "advanced hunting and tracking skills" it doesn't occur to him that they were displaced because other races were more advanced than they were.
3) All scientists, in the video, are Caucasian (including one Indian). Though he is quick to praise the uniqueness of non-white aboriginal peoples, it never occurs to him to praise his own race - the whites who developed the science he uses. He does not allow himself to consider the possibility that the rigors of the ice age in Europe might have something to do with Europeans long-term planning skills and higher intellectual prowess. In contrast, he does discuss how the Chukchi's bodies have adapted to the cold over thousands of years.
4) Though he attempts to explain the origins of every other major race on Earth, he makes no effort to explain the origins of black Africans - preferring, instead, to blur any distinction between them and the Bushmen. The assumption can then be made that black Africans are just as ancient as the Bushmen and represent the "original humans".
5) At the end, he proclaims we are "all Africans under the skin" - thus negating the 50,000 years of evolution he had just painstakingly narrated. If anything, his video illustrates just how quickly humans can evolve to adapt to their new environments. It does nothing to refute the scientific notion of race. On the contrary, it shows how race is Man's answer to changing environments and how important it must be to have developed so quickly. Then, without even a shred of evidence, as if to show that all this science has not shaken his faith, he announces: "Old fashioned concepts of race are... scientifically wrong." This is so typical of politically correct "scientists". One gets the impression that this statement is some sort of religious mantra like "Allah hu Akbar" or Hail Mary.
The dangerous concept of "conservatism"
There was a time, not long ago, when most whites felt good about their own race, when they objected to miscegenation, racial integration and the notion that all races are equal. Since these attitudes are largely those of the past, they are now often associated with other attitudes of the past such as opposition to: feminism, new styles of music, body art, pornography, atheism and homosexuality. It was, of course, the leftists who were largely responsible for relegating those attitudes to the past in the first place. By seizing control of the education system and government, they were able to change prevailing attitudes about such things. Once this was accomplished, they were able to describe the displaced attitudes as "old-fashioned". Another word for "old-fashioned" is "conservative".
While there is plenty of variety of opinion amongst those who call themselves "conservative", the powers that be have succeeded in associating the term with certain values in the eyes of the general public:
1) An adherence to traditional religion or, at least, a respect toward it
2) A lack of tolerance toward sexual minority practices
3) A preference for a certain way of dressing and certain music
4) A respect for the rule of law domestically but a "my country right or wrong" attitude internationally.
5) A deference toward one's own race, especially the white race
It might be accurate to describe the lumping of all these together, under the umbrella of "conservative" as the "Archie Bunker Complex". Though I might risk sounding like a conspiracy theorist, I believe it is possible that the left intentionally nurtured this wider notion of "conservatism" as part of a strategy of divide and conquer.
When I met Matthew Tait in Virginia this February, we had a short conversation about socialism and race realism. I told him that I disapprove of socialism and that the BNP does seem to be socialist in nature. We agreed, in the end, that our most pressing concern should be the preservation of the true British in Britain. Everything else is secondary. If the British people (or white people in general) become extinct, then the political and social trappings of white civilization will fade away as well. At that point, libertarianism would not be viable. So, if the only movement capable of rescuing the British people happens to be a socialist one, then so be it. If a person is trapped in a burning building, and a firefighter arrives to rescue him, is he going to concern himself with the creed of the firefighter? So, even though the BNP is not "conservative" in the political sense, still we should consider them allies in our racial struggle.
Why do non-religious race realists go out of their way to bash homosexuals? I can understand Judeo-Christian ones doing so - it's an "abomination". But the advancement of an anti-white agenda is a far more serious "bomb in our nation" than homosexuals and why make enemies when you could make friends instead?
It should be obvious that only the practice of heterosexuality can propagate our species and race. In that sense, it is the sexuality that is "normal" on a societal level. That being said, I don't think we should condemn individuals for leaning that way and we certainly should not reject them from our movement. So my stance on this is that homosexuality should not be promoted amongst our children and it should not be portrayed as equal to heterosexuality in virtue. But we should not try to make life miserable for those who practice it - whether we hold such urges to be a matter of choice or not. I don't see the point in wasting pixels condemning homosexuals either; they'll do as they please with or without our approval and it really is none of our business. As for those who parade about publicly half naked to show their pride, they invite ridicule upon themselves but that's where it should stop: ridicule and exercising our own rights to freedom of association.

Racism in our daily lives 2
Here we have yet another example of non-white privilege:
A $1,000 scholarship ...was elected from among about 40 peers in the sessions to have best embodied the program's ideals of positive attitude and collaboration... particularly kids of minority heritage, who demonstrate ability and interest in technology careers.
This is the cheerful, smiley face of discrimination against whites. It's not enough that the recipient's white colleagues (sure, they threw a Hispanic in the photo for good measure) were deemed "not worthy" of the scholarship (due to their second class status), but they are even made to smile for the camera to showcase it. What can be more sick than a society, founded by whites, discriminating against whites? The brainwashing of youngsters into cheerfully submitting to such injustice and making them believe that, somehow, this is a "positive" thing.

My Amren wish list
Far be it from me to try to dictate the policies of a noble organization such as Amren, but this doesn't mean I cannot put forward my own wish list and I hope that if Mr. Taylor reads this, he will take it as friendly suggestions rather than complaints:
1) While Amren is, officially, a monthly magazine, in the minds of many it is more than that. If it were only a magazine, we would not have semiannual meetings. My wish is that Amren become a bona fide organization in the sense that it would have membership and annual/monthly fees (aside from the subscription fees). These fees would be put to good use to aid whites around the world, fund scholarships and fight discrimination against whites. It would be something like the CofCC only not Christian oriented and, perhaps, with a more libertarian bent.
2) It has been written that Amren is merely a message board for people to gripe about the evils of non-whites, specifically blacks and Hispanics. Of course this is not so - but I think it would be beneficial to exercise tighter control over posted comments. Though I've been guilty of it myself, we should refrain from taking cheap shots at non-whites that our enemies can use as evidence of our "racism". Our enemies are ignorant of the massive crimes perpetrated against whites world-wide. Therefore, they do not understand the anger and resentment that most of us feel. I've already written about the difference between expressing bitterness about injustice and mindless hatred. Those in power use blacks and Hispanics as whips to torment us. We lash out, verbally, against the whips instead of those holding the whips. Of course, many claim it is "the Jews" holding the whips and that is a different subject (already addressed somewhat). So, though it may be comforting for us to spew venom about blacks and Hispanics, we should ask ourselves if this is helpful to our cause. I think such talk needlessly turns away many good people and helps alienate the good blacks and Hispanics who deserve to hear our message just like anybody else. So my suggestion would be that Mr. Taylor make it quite clear that Amren hates no one because of their race or ethnicity - and then make sure the comments reflect that attitude. Amren's message should be solely a positive one, as Mr. Craig Bodeker rhetorically asks in his video "why is it that pro whites are assumed to be anti everybody else?" Of course even such a change of tone will not satisfy the leftists for, in their eyes, any negative comment about their favorite ethnicities is a stain that will never fade. But it is not those hardened leftists who are Amren's target audience; they will never change. The target audience is those reasonable people who might get the message if it were presented without what they've been raised to consider shrill hysterics.
3) Expand the "Activists Corner". Surely we can come up with more than four fliers - and yes, I'm as guilty as anybody for not creating them (stay tuned). The Activist Corner might have a wider variety of suggestions how to make a difference in our communities. It could list emails and phone numbers, of people willing to have such information posted, so that others in their area can contact them. It might include links to short, and effective videos that people can send to their friends and family. The Activist Corner should not be hidden away, as an obscure link under "Contact Us". Instead, it should be a large, prominent, link out in the open where nobody could miss it. Activism should be the primary focus of Amren; without it, we are only preaching to the choir. Many years ago, I was involved with Habad/Lubavitch. This is a Hassidic sect known for its activism. We would stand on street corners asking random people "Excuse me, are you Jewish?" and then, if their answer was "yes", we would speak to them, give them literature and perform Jewish rituals with them. This takes a lot of courage and commitment. Perhaps Amren should learn from Habad. Mr. Taylor could be the Amrener Rebbe!
4) The American Renaissance magazine is always a pleasure to read but I think there is room for improvement, at least in the electronic version. It would be more entertaining if they could find a more-or-less talented cartoonist to spice it up with humor. The letters to the editor section could be about twice as long. There could be a quiz or puzzle in each issue - whose solution would be in the following issue. In short, Amren could stand to steal some ideas from traditional newspapers. Ideas that were implemented in order to encourage people to read them. There is no need to reinvent the wheel; shamelessly copy those ideas.
