By Joel Kotkin, American Mind The Biden Administration is on track to stiff our desperate working class. Bill Clinton may have been lionized as the “first black President,” and Barack Obama actually was half African, but no politician in American history owes more to African-American leadership and voters than Joe […]
Today’s episode is a bit different than usual. It’s actually a recording of a talk I gave at Harvard’s Program on Constitutional Government three months ago, entitled The Case for Color-blindness. My talk is about 30 minutes, and it’s followed by an audience Q&A.

Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti discuss Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s calls for more AAPI representation in Biden’s cabinet.
Friends from around the world, welcome to The Great Debate! Not a debate where both sides work to defeat one another, but rather where both sides come together to find common ground on the most important issues of our time. That’s what makes this debate great! This may […]
Touré Reed, author of Toward Freedom: The Case Against Race Reductionism, joins the show to discuss why elites have doubled down on identity and explains how we can combat race essentialism by understanding politics through a public-good framework.
Rep. Grace Meng delivered a powerful rebuke to Republicans in emotional remarks about the rise in anti-Asian American violence.
By Helen Raleigh, Newsweek Critical race theory (CRT) is a divisive, discriminatory ideology that judges people on the basis of their skin color. It has penetrated our society—it’s in federal agencies’ and federal contractors’ “bias training,” in school curricula and many corporations’ “diversity training.” Few are willing to […]

Welcome to another episode of Conversations with Coleman. The purpose of my solo episode is twofold. First, I’d like to update you all on the status of my attempted conversation with Ibram X. Kendi, the author of ‘How to be an Anti-racist’, and arguably the leading anti-racist public […]
This is an excerpt from Coleman Hughes’ conversation with Amy Chua.
The new version of the “white man’s burden.”
A crack in the PC Coalition? Journalist, Zaid Jilani, discusses why Hispanic voters, specifically Latino men, are gravitating towards the Republican Party.
More fragmentation. Journalist Zaid Jilani discusses allegations of racial profiling at Smith College and the investigation that followed.
It appears that, increasingly, some of the most hysterically fanatical anti-racist people are white, while individuals and groups that are labeled racist or even white supremacist are becoming more ethnically diverse. This is an interesting cultural phenomenon. While controversies involving race conflict or which overlap with race issues […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Is it just me or has Black History Month become kind of a gross corporate circus lately? Just another banal commercial grab bag of Hallmark moments to peddle the superiority of the American experience. I feel like shit […]
The public and pundits alike are still processing the most recent election, but this much we know: 2020 marks the most diverse Congress in American history, and President Trump garnered more minority voters in 2020 than in 2016. As Georgia faces two runoff elections, which will determine which […]
Is it not obvious that this is merely the latest ruling class tool with which to stir up resentment against minorities and/or incite minorities against whites, while encouraging all to ignore the system that is their common enemy? Russia Today Coca-Cola is facing a major backlash for allegedly […]
Ben Burgis is joined by podcast host and writer Jason Myles along with producer Forrest Miller in the segment, as they screen a small portion of a film from the Chicago Film Archives showing discussion between members of the Young Patriots group in the mid 1960s along with […]
This is a pretty interesting bio documentary on Williams. On the major social and political issues of our time, Walter Williams is one of America’s most important and provocative thinkers. He is black, yet he opposes affirmative action. He believes that the Civil Rights Act was a major […]
Kim Iverson: “These hate crimes are mostly being committed by black young males against Asian seniors. it doesn’t fit the narrative of white racists committing hate crimes against people of color, so it goes mostly ignored. Instead it’s black racists. But many of you say there can’t be […]
By Keith Preston Between the time that Donald Trump entered the Republican primaries in 2015 to the moment of the January 6, 2021 supposed “coup attempt,” the specter of “fascism” has been raised by critics of Trumpism. Analogies to the failed Weimar liberal-capitalist regime of the pre-Nazi era […]
By John McWhorter One can divide antiracism into three waves. First Wave Antiracism battled slavery and segregation. Second Wave Antiracism, in the 1970s and 1980s, battled racist attitudes and taught America that being racist was a flaw. Third Wave Antiracism, becoming mainstream in the 2010s, teaches that racism […]
Keith, Emma & RJ Game Stop vs Wall Street, Robinhood, micro-revolts in the United States, Dodger Stadium’s COVID-19 vaccination site temporarily shut down after protesters gather at entrance, Robinhood was supposed to be for the little guy, Citadel, aristocrats pretending to be friends with the peasants, rich people […]
It’s interesting how the Left appears to be fragmenting into multiple camps concerning the question of who is most oppressed, who is the revolutionary actor, etc. The big debates seem to be between the “class reductionist,” “intersectionality,” and”anti-whiteness” camps, with the latter tendency defining racism as all “non-leftist” […]
From left: Toussaint L’Ouverture, Gabriel Prosser and Denmark Vesey. by Don Fitz The May 25, 2020 murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis sparked a civil rights explosion. It ignited pushes to demilitarize the police, reallocate police over-funding to necessary social services, end economic and power divides, and replace […]
By James Lindsay, New Discourses As unlikely as it seems, a highly obscure academic theory known as Critical Race Theory has completely mainstreamed in society, and now everyone is discussing it. While Critical Race Theory has the noble goal of pointing out problems that can be hard to […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Finally, mercifully, it’s twenty-hundred and twenty-one, dearest motherfuckers. The year of our lord Satan, 2020, is finally fucking over and all around America there are signs of life. It’s a brand new spanking day for democracy, because 2021 doesn’t just bring an […]
By Amy Goodman, Democracy Now Scholars Cornel West and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor respond to the global uprising against racism and police violence following the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. “We’re seeing the convergence of a class rebellion with racism and racial terrorism at the center of it,” said […]
By Yanis Iqbal, Hampton Think USA’s President-elect Joe Biden’s cabinet picks have already deflated the hopes of lesser-evilists. Filled with deep-dyed neoliberals and unswerving imperialists, Biden’s cabinet will try its hardest to competently revive the murderous American empire. Externally, it would mean the professional management of an imperialist, […]
By Lisa Hardy, Gwendolyn Saul & Kerry F. Thompson, The Conversation As the months roll by, the pandemic continues to hit Indigenous nations hard. But this phenomenon is not new. Epidemics have been part of colonialism since settlers arrived. Health inequities tell us that illnesses have different outcomes on […]
Because I am a 100% proponent of indigenous peoples’ rights, I am often accused of promoting “indigenous nationalism” by leftoidal “anarchists.” I tend to reject both SJWish decolonization theory, which aims to steer indigenous movements toward “cultural Marxism” (and therefore toward being tools for neoliberalism), and the conventional […]
Being an anarchist, I have a natural morbid curiosity about the functioning of statecraft. I follow politics in the same way someone might drive very slowly past the scene of some horrific accident so as not to miss the sight of even one mangled limb. But perhaps even […]
By David Marcus, The Federalist A Rubicon has been crossed in American political discourse. Long purveyors of Marxism, the nation’s leftists have now come to fully embrace something else; racism. Just in the last week in the areas of medicine, education, and journalism, well-intentioned institutional racists have insisted […]
Maria Theobald, TIME Marie Sanchez, chief tribal judge on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation, arrived in Geneva in 1977 with a clear message to deliver to the United Nations Convention on Indigenous Rights. American Indian women, she argued, were targets of the “modern form” of genocide—sterilization. Over the six-year […]
By Matthew Crawford, Unherd The HBO series Succession depicts the dynastic dramas of a family-controlled media company, headed by patriarch Logan Roy in a spirit of vigorous tyranny. This clan is ultra-rich and totally amoral. One of the sons, the dissolute and aptly named Roman (played by Kieran […]
This is a must-listen for anyone who is interested in the relationship between the state and the oppression of blacks, particularly the relationship between economics laws, housing laws, and drug laws. Williams’ “The State Against Blacks” is a must-read. Another similar book that is quite good is Sowell’s […]
By Troy Southgate Similarities have been drawn between National-Anarchism and aspects of the Dark Mountain Project and therefore it was only a matter of time before its chief spokesperson, Paul Kingsnorth, made an effort to distinguish his ideas from ours. Richard Hunt, one of National-Anarchism’s main influences, once […]
There are a lot of nuggets of substance in this commentary from Kulinski. As Kyle points out, many Latinos are following the pattern of “white ethnics” like the Irish, Germans, and Poles in the sense of becoming increasingly assimilated into the Anglo-culture. One thing Kyle doesn’t mention is […]
By Donald J. Boudreaux, Wall Street Journal America has lost one of its greatest economists and public intellectuals. Walter Williams died Wednesday morning after teaching his final class at George Mason University on Tuesday. He was 84. For 40 years Walter was the heart and soul of George […]

He was 89. Benton-Banai died Monday at a care center in Hayward, Wisconsin, where he had been staying for months, […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley “And when the last Red Man shall have perished, and the memory of my tribe shall have become a myth among the White Men, these shores will swarm with the invisible dead of my tribe, and when your […]
One of the very best books on the modern American police state. I would add to it the works of Radley Balko, John Whitehead, Richard Lawrence Miller, and the late William Norman Grigg. “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness is a book by […]
