First-Person Accounts of the Reality of Race

Chris Roberts, American Renaissance, February 8, 2020

Many of the most popular essays American Renaissance has published have been first-person accounts of how people discover the realities of race. Whether they be written by lawyers, police officers, or blue collar workers, the stories they tell often represent the unvoiced thoughts of tens of millions of Americans. But the picture they paint is too frank — and sometimes too horrifying — for the mainstream media to go anywhere near them.

We plan on publishing several dozen more in the coming months (and we’re always interested in adding more to our roster), but for now, here is every first-person account of the realities of race ever released by American Renaissance.
