The Philosophy of Race Realism
What we call race realism is what was considered traditional common sense until perhaps the 1950s. It is a body of views that was so taken for granted it had no name, but it can be summarized as follows: That race is an important aspect of individual and group identity, that different races build different societies that reflect their natures, and that it is entirely normal for whites (or for people of any other race) to want to be the majority race in their own homeland. If whites permit themselves to become a minority population, they will lose their civilization, their heritage, and even their existence as a distinct people.
All other groups take it for granted that they have a right to speak out in their own interests. Only whites have lost this conviction.
Why Race Matters
The great Sam Francis describes the threats against our race and culture and explains why they must be met in specifically racial terms. This article is adapted from a speech he gave to an AR audience and that contributed to his being fired as staff columnist at the Washington Times.
Multiculturalism and the War Against White America
Lawrence Auster explains the contradictions inherent in the current myths about race, and urges whites to come to grips with the crisis they face. From a speech delivered at an American Renaissance conference.
The War on White Heritage
Sam Francis explains why attacks on the Confederate flag are simply a first, easy target of people whose real intent is an assault on whites and their culture. Northerners may have no emotional attachment to the Confederacy, but they, too, will soon find their own symbols and heritage under attack. This is Francis at his polemical best
Twelve Years of American Renaissance
Editor Jared Taylor reflects on 12 years of publishing American Renaissance.
Competitive Altruism and White Self-Destruction, Parts I and II
Ian Jobling offers a provocative theory about why whites are unable to take the most basic steps to protect themselves against dispossession.
Race and IQ
One of the most destructive myths of modern times is that people of all races have the same average intelligence. It is widely accepted that genes account for much of the difference in intelligence between individuals, but many people still refuse to believe genes explain group differences in average intelligence. This blindness leads to futile attempts to eliminate “learning gaps” between the races and forces whites to accept the view that if blacks and Hispanics are less successful than whites, it is because of white “racism.”
Racial Consciousness
Racial loyalty or racial consciousness is normal and healthy. All non-white groups instinctively pursue their own interests, and legitimately so. It is only whites who have been taught that it is immoral to take even the most basic steps to ensure their survival.
AR has published several key articles on the significance of racial consciousness as well as studies of how people of various races express that consciousness.
History
For anyone brought up on the cartoon history taught in American schools, it is a surprise to learn what really happened in the past. The egalitarian left unabashedly distorts history in the name of orthodoxy. It is our job to resurrect the truth.
First-Person Accounts
Some of the most powerful writing in AR is by ordinary people describing their everyday experiences with non-whites. Each of these accounts — which could never be published in a mainstream publication — is a compelling story about the continuing tragedy of multi-racialism.
Race and the Law
The legal framework of the United States has changed almost unrecognizably with regard to race. School integration, “civil rights,” racial preferences, the franchise — all have evolved in ways that undermine the ability of whites to lead their lives as they wish. The record in this area is a triumph of ideology over common sense, justice, and the Constitution.
Crime and Disorder
When there is demographic change, the entire texture of life changes. One of the most obvious consequences of an increase in the black population is an increase in crime.
Science
Race realists have a great advantage over those who push egalitarian orthodoxy: We accept what science says about race and genetics, and are eager for further discoveries. The more progress science makes the more secure our positions become.
Immigration and the Demographic Transformation
The single greatest threat facing whites is mass immigration of non-whites into white homelands. If it continues, whites will become a minority in the United States before mid-century. Britain, Canada, and Australia will also lose their white majorities. The culture of the West will not survive the disappearance of the people who created it.
Race Realism in a World Perspective
In every white nation it is only a minority that recognizes the crisis we face and fights for national preservation. A number of European countries, which are not hampered by slogans like “we are a nation of immigrants” and that do not have slavery to apologize for, are defending themselves better than we are.
The Reality of Race
It has become fashionable to argue that race is some kind of sociological illusion and not a valid biological classification. No one really believes this any more than he believes that the differences between Dachshunds and Saint Bernards are sociological rather than biological. Still, the reality of race is a basic point that must occasionally be made, and AR has published excellent articles to refute this silliness.
