The Racial Correlation Between Marxism and the Current Year Church

By Francis Samuels

One pursuit that has always been consistent as found among the Revolutionary guild is the dream of eliminating distinctions among races, ethnicities, and peoples.

This is not merely my opinion.

In a moment I will provide an avalanche of quotes that will prove this to be the case.

What I want to do now is tee these quotes up by pointing out the reality that it is the clergy and the church now who are hot in pursuit of the same thing. It is a preponderance in the clergy who are telling us that God loves inter-racial marriage and there is nothing in the slightest wrong with that. Indeed, it is to be preferred in order to break down preexisting barriers. Churches now that are people-group integrated are churches that are automatically superior to churches that are not people-group integrated. read more

Popular Entertainment as an Inversion of Reality: A Review of Amazon’s “Them”

By Davis Carlton

I remember watching the movie Galaxy Quest when I was younger. The basic plot is that an alien race sends a representative to recruit the aging actors of an old space sci-fi television show to help them fend off an attack from an aggressive reptilian alien species. The aliens who are asking for help do so by mistaking the old television show for “historical documents” that chronicle actual history and the actors for real life combat veterans and heroes. Today, the consumers of streaming content don’t seem to have any more discernment than the naïve alien race featured in Galaxy Quest. Enter the new series available on Amazon Prime called Them, purportedly about the dystopian horror that was the black experience in 1950s America. read more

This Won’t End Well

Racial Unrest Impedes U.S. Bid to Counter China in Africa - Bloomberg

By Davis Carlton

I’ve gone on record arguing that racial segregation is a practical solution to the increasingly hostile nature of race relations in the Western world. The past several months certainly haven’t changed this belief as the specter of all out violence continues to loom. The George Floyd/Derek Chauvin verdict managed to stay black violence at the expense of justice…at least justice as understood in the Anglo-Saxon Christian common law tradition. Calls from black California Congresswoman Maxine Waters for “confrontation” directed at BLM activists with a well-documented history of violence were blatant threats aimed at jurors and the city to render the “right” verdict. The threatening nature of Waters’ rhetoric was even noted by Judge Peter Cahill in the Floyd/Chauvin trial as a potential pretext for granting Chauvin a new trial. Add to this that one of the black jurors has been discovered to have participated in a BLM protest prior to the trial and who was clearly prejudiced (in the proper legal sense of the term) against Chauvin from the beginning. read more

Rewriting Baseball History Won’t Change The Past

MLB makes Negro Leagues a "major league," earns praise from Willie Mays and more

By Davis Carlton

Major League Baseball (MLB) has decided to grant the Negro Leagues from 1920 to 1948 the status of official “major leagues.” This might not seem like a particularly noteworthy decision, but it means that MLB has decided to include statistics from the former Negro League in compiling official major league records. This decision is being touted as a long overdue correction of the historic injustice that was segregation. During the time period under consideration, black baseball players were only allowed to play in segregated Negro Leagues. Now statistics and records from the days of the Negro Leagues will be considered on a par with other MLB statistics. As a baseball fan and a stats geek I believe that this is a mistake and I’ll explain why. read more

Academia Takes Aim at Classical Antiquity

An Overview of Classical Antiquity – Brewminate

By Davis Carlton

The academic tradition of the West is thoroughly steeped in the study of classical literature, architecture, music, and philosophy. The Christianization of the West allowed Europeans to view their classical heritage through the lens of a Christian worldview, which necessarily resulted in a rejection of certain aspects of classical philosophy as well as pagan polytheism. Nevertheless, there remained a ubiquitous understanding of the classics as the common heritage of the West that was indispensable to our identity. read more

Golden Oldie … Nationalism & Christianity

The Ancient Christian Countries - Xenivoyage

By Enos Powell

Originally posted on Iron Ink.

“When evangelicals embrace an America-first nationalism, the gospel is co-opted and betrayed.”

“… Nationalism gives pride of place to ourselves, to regional or national assertions of primacy and the quest for power and success, control and dominance, legitimizing violence and pressing for victory. Nationalism reveals that we have mis-ordered worship. Religiously motivated nationalism simply turns God into our “godling,” a deity subject to our bidding.” read more

A Few Rejoinders to Doug Wilson’s Trending Vid ‘Racism and Slavery in the West’

By C. Merle Davidson

If you can stomach it, watch the apologetic here.

Problem #1 — Race is reduced solely to “skin color” as if differing melanin levels is the only thing that constitutes “race.”

Problem #2 — He says his hero in this subject matter is Thomas Sowell. Thomas Sowell is a Libertarian and as a Libertarian Sowell is thus going to edge towards humans as a blank slate and therefore deny real genetic differences.

Problem #3 — Wilson characterizes those who disagree with him as being beholden to Darwin and evolutionary theories of race. Though doubtless this may sometimes be true, it certainly isn’t always true. I don’t need to believe in Darwin and can still conclude that genetics matter and that some inferiorities and superiorities run through all races in differing fashions. read more

Everything You Are is ‘Racist’: Then they Came For The Farmer

By Ehud Would

Joel Salatin is a farmer and prominent Agrarian writer. The ostensible tip of the spear in the return-to-the-land movement, the man has mentored a new generation of budding Agrarians in how to make traditional Agrarian life sustainable in and out of a money-based economy.

Enter Chris Newman, the (solitary?) Black (okay, Mulatto) who identifies as an Agrarian. No sooner had this freedman entered the farmers’ market milieu than he condemned the movement’s leading light as — you guessed it — a “racist”, and began leaning on Salatin’s publishers and customers to blacklist the leader of their own movement.

*sigh*

We are told this pronouncement against Salatin comes in response to Salatin’s unprovoked ‘racist’ screed against Newman. At least, that’s how the latter describes it.

But look at Newman’s initial article to which Salatin was responding, Small Family Farms Aren’t the Answer . The propositions there leveled are that the Agrarian movement is fatally flawed because:

1- It isn’t as lucrative as corporate farming, and needs therefore to be communized.

2- It’s based on the sovereign family structure of White Christian colonists rather than the communistic-herd model of BIPOC hunter-gatherers.

3- It’s too straight, patriarchal, and White.

So we see ‘twas Newman, not Salatin, who fired the opening salvo on matters racial. Yes, this Commie breezes into Agrarian circles condemning all the morals and objectives thereof on the grounds that it’s all too, well, … traditionally Agrarian. The sheer audacity.

Independent Patriarchal Christian clans serving in their own communities — the lifeway handed down from our Christian European ancestors, and undergirt by Holy Writ — Newman denounces as inherent White Supremacy and ‘Racism’.

Not only are the Police racist, Law and Order, itself, is racist.

Having a racial preference is racist.

Having no racial preference is also racist.

Correct English Grammar is racist.

The English language, itself, is racist.

Classic Literature is racist; so is talking about the racism thereof.

Classical music is racist; big time; so is Rock;

Country too. read more

There’s Just No Reasoning with John Andrew Reasnor

By Davis Carlton

John Andrew Reasnor of The Kids Are All Blight fame has written an article on Lamb’s Reign suggesting that Christians ought to become thoroughly conformed to the image of this world and support the Black Lives Matter movement. I’m sure that Reasnor has a really good and well-articulated argument that is sure to convince skeptics. Actually no; he doesn’t. The sole reason that Reasnor gives for supporting Black Lives Matter is “It’s true.” In other words: Reasnor argues that Christians should support Black Lives Matter because black lives really do matter. If that doesn’t convince you I don’t know what possibly could. You must be an incorrigible bigot who simply hates black people. If you are one of those people and you have a few possible rejoinders in mind when you read Reasnor’s “argument,” don’t worry. Reasnor has already thought of your objections and provides very thorough explanations of why you’re wrong. The whole of Reasnor’s article is a response to potential counter-arguments to the BLM movement. read more

The Dread and Sacred N-Word

By Ehud Would

I’d like to bend your ear a moment on a matter which needs addressing something fierce, I think: in recent years it has become a signal taboo in American society to speak many old and entirely wholesome Anglo-Saxon words on account of some aggrieved minority or another having declared one word or another offensive. And that, irrespective of definition or intent behind the words in question. This is so now even in the churches.

A prime example of this is the dread and now sacrosanct word Nigger. read more
