In regards to the article 'Anti-racism' I thought the opening statement, "Racism is the worst of sins, the gravest of public dangers, the most repellent of spiritual disorders. Any taint of racism soils and discredits in all respects" is very good. I also wanted to add the concept of racism as witchcraft, from an article I found at Stormfront.org. The claim that racism is becoming as persecuted as witchcraft in some areas is not too far fetched. I believe Jean Marie le Pen was fined in France around $200,000 for making some statement about the Holocaust; and in Germany it is illegal to posses certain literature relating to the Third Reich. We're not talking about actions here, just thought, merely reading certain ideas. And in America on many university campuses racism is just pure witchcraft. That's the only way to put it. Racism is the witchcraft of our time.
I suppose every society has its witchcraft, and I think it is important if you happen to be a witch to be aware that your enemy rules, and to make a judgment regarding who is a witch hunter and who isn't. This is for your own well-being.

I think the analogy to witchcraft, or at least to the current conception of the witchcraft hysteria, is a good one in many ways. There's the sense of an uncanny force of appalling evil present everywhere, with people in league with it who must be rooted out at all costs.
My guess is that in the case of witchcraft the offense was more clearly defined and the standard of proof was higher. On the other hand, the penalties were more severe -- getting fined $200,000 for saying that the Nazi gas chambers are a footnote to the history of WW II seems excessive, but it's better than literal burning at the stake. Also, the antiracist hysteria is more clearly (at least to my non-historian's eyes) in the service of particular political interests and goals.

I agree that that article is the best on the subject I've ever seen. Jim Kalb has penned a classic, there's no doubt about it.
The term "racism" of course is infirm because of the way it's used in sort of a bait-and-switch trick played on the broad public. It's taught to school kids from an early age that a "racist" is a Simon Legree type or Adolf Hitler type -- cruel, insane, sadistic, murderous, filled with hatred, etc., etc. Everyone agrees such an individual is unacceptable, horrible, detestable, unclean. Then -- after we've all firmly incorporated that image of "racist" into our psyches as we are growing up -- comes the switch: "racism" also covers, we are now made to understand, any white person (this only applies to white people) who feels there are any inborn differences whatsoever between the world's races and/or who wishes to preserve the white race from being deliberately extinguished in certain countries through meticulous behind-the-scenes political planning by foaming-at-the-mouth non-white and white-leftist haters who make Simon Legree and Adolf Hilter look like Mary Poppins on the one hand, and their Country-Club Republican allies who don't really mind throwing in the towel before forces they perceive to be strong rather than fighting, especially if they can feel -- or gain a reputation for -- "moral superiority" in their wives', mistresses', or friends' eyes while doing it. After the "switch" part of the bait-and-switch we come to understand that anyone who doesn't literally yearn for the white race's extinction from the earth -- exactly the same thing as Hitler yearned for in regard to the Jews or Pol Pot in regard to the educated classes -- is a "racist." We're now facing a brand-new defnintion of the word.
It ought to be clear that, just as the other side keeps brazenly asserting at every turn that "race doesn't exist -- there's no such thing," our side ought to be asserting -- what happens to be the simple truth -- that "racism doesn't exist -- there's no such thing."
"Racism" does not exist -- there's no such thing.

All over the world, anti-racism is enforced by anti-discrimination laws....
I'm not so sure this is correct. I've been all over the world, and the only countries I know of that have anti-discrimination laws (we should call them forced integration laws) are the U.S., Canada, and England (maybe all of G. Britain, I'm not sure). For proof, you can look through the classifieds of some of the world's newspapers. Look at the job ads; you'll see things like "female only," and so forth. Things that not only would be illegal in the U.S., but a form of witchcraft.
The idea of employment "discrimination" being a great evil is actually very rare outside of just a few countries. Most places don't have such a movement or morality as part of their history; and no matter how democratic a more reasonable country becomes, it seems that forced integration never becomes part of the people's morality.

One more topic from the article.
While a non-anti-racist society need not strive for racial purity....
I guess I would probably agree with this. But I raise the issue because I think there is an increasing number of people who wouldn't. Guys I have known on the Internet for years now refer to themselves as "White Nationalists," but didn't just a few years ago. The issue of racial purity I think will increasingly become a hot topic in right-wing circles in the near future, especially in places like California and Europe where there is a high level of non-White immigration. Furthermore, racial purity is more of a salient issue to those who believe that human civilization depends on the propagation of the White race, which is believed to be on a higher evolutionary plane than the other races.

"Racial purity" is not the issue: this stuff applies as well to impure races.( * ) "Civilization's depending on the white race" also isn't the issue: this applies equally to races which civilization doesn't depend on. And "the white race's being on a higher evolutionary plane" isn't the issue: this all applies as much to races on a lower evolutionary plane.( ** ) Ethnicities, which intrinsically are *groups,* have a right to existence as such -- a right to existence as ethnic *groups* and as ethnic or racial *communities* and *nations* which are predominantly homogeneous. (That right's twin of course is their right to continued existence as opposed to undergoing extermination through whatever deliberate planned tactic or preventable process may befall them or be aimed at them.) Minorities are always present and are to be welcomed -- and usually *are* welcomed -- and however the predominant groups and the minorities want to work things out is fine as long as it's done in a way that's decent toward the minorities. Minorities for their part cannot claim (cannot *whine* would be a better word for what they do nowadays in North America and Europe) that the fact of minorityhood is itself indecent, but must accept that they are minorities and that the majority has a perfect moral right to exist as a majority. The white race keeps being told that it has no such right -- that it's evil for it to exist as the majority ethnicity or race in this or any country. (This is Nazism in reverse and for it to be spouted by so many Jews all across the political spectrum -- liberals, leftists, neocons, "Prof." Noël Ignatiev of Harvard "University" -- is strikingly ironic.) "Diversity," "multi-culti," and the rest of what's going on are one thing and one thing only: a deadly attack on the white race in this country and on the individual national sub-divisions of the white race in Europe. The attackers know that perfectly well. Those on *either side* who can't see it are largely women and the relatively feebleminded. (Women, even intelligent women, can't see it because genetically women are deficient in the brain circuits that allow the perception of races and countries.)
( * ) It's better to speak simply of "races" than of "pure races." "Pure" is redundant for the purposes intended by those who pair it with the word "race." It's not clear what's added by it, and of course it carries baggage from the Nazi era, as well as handing the other side all sorts of pseudo-intellectual rejoinders and straw-men serving extremely well as boob-bait for the bubbas-of-the-left, only prolonging the agonizing sophistries which are their stock in trade. Just say "races." That one word all by itself is plenty sufficient for everything at issue where these subjects are concerned. Leave "pure" strictly out of it.
( ** ) Where God-given rights are concerned, the rank of the race or ethnicity in question on "the evolutionary plane" isn't relevant. In His love for all humanity, God does not care about our rankings of one another on "the evolutionary plane," of course It is common knowledge nowadays that there are ways in which Negroes rank lower on "the evolutionary plane" than whites, and whites rank lower than yellows, and doubtless there are ways in which the rankings on "the evolutionary plane" are reversed. We are of course nevertheless all morally equal, all equal before the law, and all equal in God's sight.

I don't agree that antiracism is a localized problem of a few countries. Look at the prosecutions of "hate speech" in Europe or international initiatives like the World Conference against Racism or the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. It seems to me that in the long run (which has already arrived) it's required by the modern way of looking at things and is part of the self-destruction of that view.
