I am a White advocate because I am White, and as Hillel says, “If I am not for myself, who am I for?” I hearken back to an earlier Left that did not shy from cultural critique, particularly of backwards and reactionary cultures.”

Wow! Check out his blog for a truly unique perspective…

“[A]n Anglo-Saxon racist, an connoisseur of Oriental art forms, a decadent homosexual, an apostle of “anti-modernism,” a hopeless political reactionary and the most gifted Gothic architect in [early XXth centuryAmerica].”

A science teacher’s kingdom, complete with castle, enormous pipe organ, and area for epic water battles. Home of the Brotherhood of the Natural Philosophers.
