In 1989, he ran as a Republican for a seat representing Metairie in the Louisiana State House of Representatives. He defeated fellow Republican John Treen, the brother of David Treen, the first post-Reconstruction Republican to be elected Governor of Louisiana, by a margin of 51-49 percent. Duke's victory came despite visits to the district in support of John Treen's candidacy by President George H.W. Bush, former President Ronald Reagan, and other GOP notables. A year later, he challenged incumbent Democratic Senator J. Bennett Johns ...

Aryan invasion theory, often abbreviated to AIT, is a term used to refer to the theory developed by 19th Century European linguists to explain the similarity between Sanskrit and European languages, supposing the invasion or migration of peoples who originated outside of India. The term is now most used by Indian opponents of the theory, or to label obsolete forms of the theory. The term "Aryan" derives from the word arya, used in the Vedas in a sense of "nobility", and as an ethnic term in Iran. The phrase "Aryan ...

White supremacy is a racist ideology which holds that the white race is superior to other races. White supremacy is most often thought of in connection with anti-black racism and anti-Semitism, though it has also been used to justify discrimination against Native Americans, Chinese, Irish, Roman Catholics, Southeast Asians, Arabs and others. For example, politically, socially and economically, white supremacy was by and large the law of the land in the United States before and for decades after Reconstruction; the same is true ...

David John Cawdell Irving (born March 24, 1938) is a British Holocaust denier, who for many years had the reputation of a professional historian. From the late 1960s to the mid-1980s, Irving was considered a leading author on World War II with works such as Hitler’s War and Apocalypse 1945: The Destruction of Dresden. In the mid-1980s, Irving began openly associating with neo-Nazi and extremist groups. In the late 1990s, he sued the Holocaust historian Deborah Lipstadt for having listed him as a Holocaust denier ...

Uncle Duke is a fictional character in the comic strip Doonesbury. He is nominally Zonker Harris's uncle, although early in the Doonesbury continuity he was established as a Harris family friend. To reconcile this continuity error, many readers assume that Duke is Zonker's godfather (which in some families qualifies for the title of "Uncle"). Duke himself seems to remember winning Zonker in a pokergame. Duke's apperance and mannerisms are heavily based on the late gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson (see Raoul Duke). Bet ...

Willis Allison Carto (born July 17, 1926 in Indiana) is a longtime figure on the far right wing of American politics. Carto's career has been marked by controversy, and even among his contemporaries he is a polarizing figure. The Anti-Defamation League, as well as other critics, believe that Willis Carto, more than anybody else, was responsible for keeping organized anti-Semitism alive as a movement in the United States during the latter half of the 20th century and into the 21st century. These critics have noted that Carto has ...

Anti-racism refers to beliefs, actions, movements, and policies adopted or developed to oppose racism. In general, anti-racism is intended to promote an egalitarian society in which people do not face discrimination on the basis of their race, however defined. By its nature, anti-racism tends to promote the view that racism in a particular society is both pernicious and socially pervasive, and that particular changes in political, economic, and/or social life are required to eliminate it. Anti-racism - Precursors of anti ...

North American Indian nations had more of a direct influence on anti-racism. Many Indian nations were very egalitarian in comparison to European nation-states. Moreover, though Indians often saw their culture as superior, they did not tend to make racial distinctions in the same way as Europeans did. Both whites and blacks could -- and did -- join Indian nations as equals. The Indian example was a practical threat to European white supremacy. Some whites preferred living as Indians, while black slaves could become free by escaping to ...

Many Orthodox Judaism rabbis refer to assimilation as a type of "Holocaust". Orthodox Rabbis also refer to abortion as the "Silent Holocaust" [9], and to conversion to Christianity as the "Silent Holocaust" [10]. Intermarriage, assimilation, apostasy (e.g. converting to Messianic Judaism or Buddhism), and abortions of Jewish babies are all described in terms of a "silent holocaust". "The Conservative Jewish approach actively promotes endogamy, the marriage of Jews with Jews, through youth and young adult programs, outreach to t ...

While "racism" refers both to individual attitudes and group behaviour, "racialism" usually implies the existence of a social or political movement. Supporters of racialism say that "racism" implies racial supremacism and a harmful intent, whereas "racialism" indicates a strong interest in matters of race without these connotations. Instead, their focus is on "racial pride", identity politics, and / or racial segregation. Organisations such as NAAWP insist on these dis ...

In August 2005, a candidate for city council of Charlotte, North Carolina dropped out of the race after it was revealed that he had posted on Stormfront. Republican Doug Hanks had posted more than 4,000 times over the previous three years using the name "Snarkie". In one comment he called African-Americans "rabid beasts". Hanks, a writer and actor from Connecticut, said that his postings were intended to gain the trust of Stormfront users in order to help him write a novel.

Neoconservatism - Usage and general views. The meaning of the term has changed over time. It was possibly first used circa 1970 by socialist author and activist Michael Harrington to characterize former leftists who had moved significantly to the right – people he derided as "socialists for Nixon." The "neoconservatives" thus described in this original sense tended to remain supporters of the welfare state, but had distinguished themselves from others on the left by allying with the Nixon administration over foreign policy, especially in their anti-communism, their ...

In many parts of the United States, non-whites were effectively disenfranchised and prevented from holding government office (or even serving in most government jobs) well into the second half of the 20th century; Native Americans in the U.S. and Canada and Aborigines in Australia were often viewed as little more than obstacles to white settlement, rather than human beings in their own right; many European-settled countries bordering the Pacific Ocean at times severely limited immigration and naturalization from the Asian Pacific countries, ...

Populism - Classical populism. The word populism is derived from the Latin word populus, which means people in English (in the sense of "I will govern for the people", not in the sense of "There are people visiting us today"). Therefore, populism espouses government by the people as a whole (that is to say, the masses). This is in contrast to elitism, aristocracy, or plutocracy, each of which is an ideology that espouse government by a small, privi ...

In 1905, a group of 32 prominent, outspoken African-Americans met to discuss the challenges facing "people of color" (a term of the time used to refer to people who do not have white skin or a Caucasian appearance) in the U.S. and possible strategies and solutions. Because hotels in the U.S. were segregated, the men convened, under the leadership of Harvard scholar W.E.B. DuBois, at a hotel situated on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. As a result, the group came to be known as the Niagara Movement. A year later, three whites joined the group: journalist William E. Walling; social worker Mary White Ovington; and Jewi ...

Nick Griffin - The NF and the ITP. Nick got involved in political activities at the age of 15, when his father, Edgar, took him to meetings of the National Front (NF). By 1978, Griffin was a national organizer for the NF, but left in 1989, in a split with Patrick Harrington. Harrington went on to form the "centrist nationalist" Third Way. Meanwhile, Griffin joined with Derek Holland to form the International Third Position (ITP) which was a continuation of the Political Soldier movement that had formed within the ...

The Populist Party grew out of the agrarian revolt that rose after the collapse of agriculture prices following the Panic of 1873. The Farmers' Alliance, formed in Lampasas, Texas in 1876, promoted collective economic action by farmers and achieved widespread popularity in the South and Great Plains. The Farmers' Alliance was ultimately unable to achieve its wider economic goal of collective economic action against brokers, railroads, and merchants, and many in the movement agitated for changes in national policy. By the late 1880s, the Alli ...
