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.
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 Island Race Debate
Derek Turner describes the cultural climate in Great Britain.
Banned in Halifax
Jared Taylor challenges Canadians defend their alleged love of “diversity.” This was the talk he was forcibly prevented from delivering by thugs who forced him out of a rented hall in Halifax, Canada.
Signs of Afrikaner Resistance?
An Afrikaner author, Dan Roodt, traces the greater significance of the “De la Rey song” that swept to popularity in South Africa. Is the white tribe waking up to the threats it faces?
Race in Scandinavia
The responses to dispossession have been very different in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. There are important lessons here for racially-conscious Americans.
Changed Overnight: Race in Finland
Finland is a white country that only recently began to face an influx of non-whites. It has reacted by doing just about everything wrong.
France at the Crossroads
In the fall of 2005, non-whites went on the rampage all across France, burning buildings and cars, fighting the police, and demonstrating in the most unambiguous way that they cannot assimilate. Will the French draw the right conclusions?
A detailed examination by Jared Taylor drawn largely from French sources.
In Praise of Homogeneity
Jared Taylor spent 16 years in Japan and knows the country well. In this article he describes a deep love of homogeneity that holds the country together and augers well for its future.
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.
