Black people and morality
The Occidental Observer - Sep 19th 2023 10:26am EDTImages of Black people are pressed on us so insistently these days, usually as models of some kind, that it is natural to ask just how admirable Black people are.

The Lethality of Liberty: How Fanatics for Freedom Help the Cause of Tyranny
The Occidental Observer - Sep 8th 2023 9:59am EDTMarxism belongs with necrophilia, bestiality and listening to Elton John.

The Occidental Observer - Sep 1st 2023 9:20am EDTLet’s be honest: As far as the media are concerned, most Black lives don’t matter.

Thus, while there was blanket coverage of a White racist 21-year-old (mentally ill, […]
