A Report from the Trenches: Christopher Jackson relates his experiences as a teacher in a predominantly black school. Through numerous examples, Mr. Jackson reveals the severe behavioral problems, the inter-racial conflicts, disrespect for authority, frequent and impulsive violence, indifference to learning, promiscuous sexual behavior, and the plight of the white students who are caught in the midst of a chaotic and often dangerous classroom environment — a sobering commentary on what integration looks like after more than a half-century.

In The White Nation of Africa, author and journalist F. Roger Devlin reviews Hermann Giliomee’s The Afrikaners: Biography of a People, published by the University of Virginia Press. This book, written over a ten-year period, is a comprehensive history of the white tribe of South Africa, from their earliest settlements in the 1600s, to the struggles by which they carved out a homeland and built a great, First-World nation on the Dark Continent, to the era of separate development known as apartheid, and finally to the catastrophic takeover under international pressure by the ANC — which has left the Afrikaner people with a bleak future in a country in steep decline. The Afrikaners reveals the story of a people about whom most Americans know little, although their history is remarkably similar to that of America’s founding settlers. Their current struggle for survival also provides a stark warning for what our future may hold.

La Raza Eyes the Supreme Court: President Obama has appointed a self-proclaimed “affirmative action baby” to the Supreme Court. Editor Jared Taylor summarizes what this milestone means: a woman with a fiercely ethnic outlook, with no desire to assimilate into American culture, no respect for the separate roles of the legislature and judiciary, a determined intent to use her power to advance race and sex quotas — and almost no chance of being stopped in her quest for a seat on the highest court in the United States.

In The BNP Goes to Strasbourg, assistant editor Stephen Webster reports on the historic breakthrough of the British National Party, which won two seats in the European Parliament on June 4. Mr. Webster reviews the heated campaign and the vigorous efforts to derail a BNP victory, the political fallout as the major parties reel over their own poor showing, and the effect this win could have on other European nationalist parties already buoyed by their own recent successes.

Plus, continuing the “de-Christianizing” of Britain, Obama’s Justice Department comes to the rescue of the New Black Panther Party, the persistent racial gap in education, the city of Baltimore’s continuing decline, and more!
