Outside of some isolated and relatively minor examples in former colonies in Africa, such as Orania in South Africa, white separatism remains primarily a reaction in the United States to the American Civil Rights Movement. White flight, as a passive reaction to that movement, has an active counterpart in white separatism. Contemporary white separatism is therefore conflated with active reactions to the civil rights movement ...

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, ...

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 1987, the Nationalist Movement won a lawsuit in which the Southern Poverty Law Center alleged that it had violated the Civil Rights Act. That same year, the Movement was denied non-profit status due to its activist nature, although it was later granted this status in 1994 [3]. Since then, it has conducted high-profile activism, such as its protest against Martin Luther King Day in Atlanta, Georgia in 1989, which drew the largest call-up of National Guard in peacetime to quell rioting against it; its Neighborhood, Home, Family and Count ...

The BNP claims to have been in radical ideological transition for a number of years, and that its past behavior, and statements of its leadership, may not accurately reflect what it stands for at the present time. Since current chairman Nick Griffin took over in 2000, he claims to have repudiated racism, instead espousing something he calls "ethno-nationalism". Griffin claims that his core ideology is "concern for the well-being of the English, Scottish, ...

In 1986, after a trip to Burma to interview drug kingpin Kun Sah regarding possible locations of U.S. POWs, Gritz returned from Burma with a videotaped interview of Kun Sah purporting to name several officials in the Reagan administration involved in narcotics trafficking in Southeast Asia. Gritz believed that those same officials were involved in a coverup of missing U.S. POWs. During this period Gritz established contacts with the Christic Institute, a leftist group which was then pursuing a lawsuit against the U.S. government over ...

The Patterson case had attracted much criticism since it appeared to leave employees who had been victimized by racial harassment on the job with no effective remedies, as they could not prove a violation of Section 1981 and could rarely show any wage losses that they could recover under Title VII. In addition, the Court's narrow reading of the phrase "make or enforce contracts" also eliminated any liability under Section 1981 for lost promotions and most other personnel decisions that did not constitute ei ...

In his first term as governor, Edwards initiated the creation of the first new constitution for Louisiana in 50 years. He easily won reelection in 1975. Louisiana law prohibited Edwards from serving a third consecutive term. In 1979, moderate Republican reformer David C. Treen was elected governor. However, Edwards defeated Treen's re-election attempt in 1983; before election day, Edwards had told reporters, "The only way I can lose this election is if I'm caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy". Edwards zinged Treen many ...

Israel Shamir - Jewish-Christian relations. Shamir is a strong believer that Jews should abandon Judaism and convert to Christianity. In The Marxists and the Lobby - Part II he states that "There is no tainted blood - acceptance of Christ is the Final Solution of the Jewish Question. … for the Jewish problem is an ideological, not a biological problem."[27] In his essay of April 15, 2001 called Take Two, he claims that Jesus "was hated by the Supply-side bankers and economist of his day.

On August 29, 2005, Metairie was hit hard by the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina, including widespread wind damage and flooding. The flooding results from three causes: Lake Ponchartrain Backflow into Canals. Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard evacuated all pumping station operators from their posts to spots over one hundred miles away in Washington Parish in anticipation of the hurricane. Normally, the machines would be on, not only preventing the Lake from flowing into the drainage canals, but also pumping the ...

The SPLC has a history of attracting controversy surrounding its politics, "hate group" identification and monitoring methods, and financial practices. Some criticisms have focused on its fundraising methods. For example, a 1996 USA Today article claimed that the Southern Poverty Law Center is "the nation's richest civil rights organization", with $68 million in assets at the time (in the fiscal year ending in 2003, its assets totalled $156 million [6]). A 2003 article in the Fairfax Journal (of Fairfax, Virginia) claimed that 89% of income was spent on fundraising and administration. See also:

In 1977, Irving released his most notorious book, Hitler’s War, the first of his two-part biography on Adolf Hitler. In it, Irving tried to describe the war from “Hitler’s point of view.” He painted a favorable picture of Hitler - as one would if describing it from Hitler's own view as Hitler saw himself to be supreme, so painting him in a negative light while doing it from his own point of view would be self sabotage - portraying him as a rational, intelligent politician, whose only goal was to increase Germany’s prosperity ...

Probably the most famous rap feud of recent times is the early to mid-1990s rivalry between the East Coast's Bad Boy Records and the West Coast's Death Row Records, which was widely thought of and reported in the media as an East Coast vs West Coast dispute. Hip hop had originated in New York, and the city remained the undisputed capital of hip hop until 1992, when Dr. Dre's The Chronic became one of the biggest-selling hip hop albums in history, followed shortly by Snoop Doggy Dogg's breakout album Doggystyle in 1993.

The theory arose from the discovery by William Jones that Sanskrit was related to the classical European languages Latin and Greek, and to Avestan, the ancient language of Iran. Jones surmised that all four languages derived from a common source "which perhaps no longer exists". For Jones, writing in the 1790s, this discovery was consistent with the biblical account of the origins of the tribe of Japheth, one of the sons of Noah, who was thought to have been the ancestor of the European peoples, and to have migrated from Mount Ararat into Eu ...

The nature of German fascism, as encapsulated in Nazism, was Roman influenced but more racist in nature. Its symbol was the swastika, a then-popular and commonly seen symbol used since ancient times by many cultures, including Germany, the UK and Scandinavia.

Following the demise of the second era KKK, there were three periods of resurgence, dubbed by some scholars and Klan participants as the third through sixth era Klans. After World War II, the Klan's victims began to fight back. In a 1958 North Carolina incident, the Klan burned crosses at the homes of two Lumbee Native Americans who had associated with white people, and then held a nighttime rally nearby, only to find themselves surrounded by hundreds of armed Lumbees. Gunfire was exchanged, and the Klan was routed.See also:

Ku Klux Klan - Creation. The founding of the second Ku Klux Klan in 1915 demonstrated the newfound power of modern mass media. The year saw three closely related events: The film The Birth of a Nation was released, mythologizing and glorifying the first Klan. In Georgia, Leo Frank, a Jewish man accused of the rape and murder of a young white girl named Mary Phagan, was lynched against a backdrop of media frenzy. The second Ku Klux Klan was founded with a new anti-immigrant an ...
