Abstract
The paper argues that modern racist views take the guise of anti-immigration, hard right, national security and conservative beliefs. The paper attempts to show how this new racism takes the form of subtle and indirect formal expressions, such as a denial of societal discrimination rather than the old-fashioned genetic inferiority and segregation. The paper profiles the decline of various neo-nazi groups in the United States but then shows how today, racial minorities lag behind whites in terms of income, wealth, occupational and health status and educational attainment. The paper warns that we are in an age of "logical racism" that shows no sign of slowing down.
From the Paper
"The numbers of American Nazi white nationalists are on the rise, but they prefer we don't use that term. Flying under the guise of anti-immigration, hard right, national security, and conservative flags the modern racist views have become more mainstream and "understandable." The American Nazi's of the past, with their swastikas, shouts of "white power," and ideology of riding the world of minorities, have simply morphed and adapted to their environment like any good species should. While these older groups do still exist, their number and memberships have been on the decline, especially in recent years with the death of major leaders and idols Richard Butler and William Pierce and the arrest of Matt Hale. Instead, the modern racist talks of blocking our boarders to suppress the "increasing crime rate" and our "depleting resources." They talk of racial profiling as a means to "national security.""

White Supremacy in the United States, 2008.

Abstract
This paper examines the era of Reconstruction (1865-1877) and that of America's Gilded Age (1870-1890) which were periods that, although different in many respects, were marked by the same theme - racism. The paper specifically analyzes the historical trend of racism by reflecting on the establishment of the Ku Klux Klan in 1866 and the Battle at Little Big Horn in 1876. The paper suggests that white supremacy was the reason behind these two events.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Southern White Supremacy
Conquering the Indians
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Although the two topics discussed have many differences, they are both rooted in the notion of white supremacy. Although it is clear that the U.S. authorities were not persuaded by the racial hatred of the Ku Klux Klan, it is also evident that they did see themselves as being superior to the Indians, which contributed towards their treatment of America's indigenous peoples. American history, therefore, portrays a nation that was convinced of it own superiority, which resulted in terrible suffering for minority groups because of the racist attitudes that were so current within this period."

Abstract
The Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Abraham Lincoln while the Civil War was still raging promised freedom and equality to blacks held in slavery, and led to high expectations among the millions of slaves living in the American South. But it also triggered the emergence of racist groups like the Ku Klux Klan, which used intimidation, brutality, and violence against blacks throughout the South. This paper discusses the effects of the virulent racism of the KKK and the support for this organization throughout the South, explaining that the KKK forced millions of blacks to live in fear, humiliation and hopeless despair for decades.

Federalism vs. National Supremacy, 2002.
A review of the history of federal politics in America as opposed to individual rights as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights.

Abstract
This paper explores the history of federalism in the United States with regard to the individual rights of its citizens. The writer reviews the purpose of the Constitution of the United States of America which at the time of its writing was difficult for many citizens to accept. The paper then looks at the objective of the Bill of Rights as a response to this fear. In this, a groundwork is established for a debate between the advocates of federalism versus those in favor of strong national supremacy.
From the Paper
"Federalism, though accepting that a federal government must exist, is an ideology that seeks to reign in that central power by fragmenting it, vesting smaller governing bodies (the state legislatures) with control over the people. It is an approach which favors limited government and grass roots participation. Proponents of national supremacy argue for the opposite: a strong central government whose power supersedes that of the states."

White Supremacy Behind Bars, 2006.
A discussion regarding the Aryan prison gangs prevalent in the US correctional framework.
1,350 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 3 sources, $ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the origins of the Aryan Brotherhood in U.S. prisons, who are they, what they stand for, how the gangs are structured and their political views. The paper also discusses membership, but the focus is placed on the lifestyle and behaviors of the Aryan Brotherhood in the prisons. Special emphasis considers how such a small prison gang is able to maintain such significant control.
From the Paper
"A recent federal indictment against the Aryan Brotherhood--one of the most terrifying and powerful prison gangs in the United States--charged them with 32 ordered killings over the course of 23 years both in and out of prisons. They have had a 50% success rate (Duersten, 2005). Of course, those are just the 32 hits that federal prosecutors think that they can make stick. The Aryan Brotherhood has a long and vicious history of violence in America's prisons. Given that new members are only admitted after they have killed someone, it is very likely that the prison gang has more than just 16 successful killings to its name."

"White Supremacy in America
In the years following the defeat of the Confederacy by the Union, resistance to Reconstruction and changes in the status of former African slaves was to emerge throughout the American South. Historian William Miller (1977) has pointed out that the "original" Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist organizations such as the Knights of the White Camellia were formed in part by Southern leaders in the 1860s to destroy the voting power of newly freed slaves and to do damage to carpetbag misrule. Geoffrey Perrett (1989) has commented that during Reconstruction, when the original Klan was formed, the occupation armies of the Union were hard-pressed to prevent their terrorist activities - activities that virtually nullified the rights granted and guaranteed to former slaves under the Fourteenth Amendment. There was, says..."

Abstract
This paper begins by describing the strong influence white supremacist groups used to have in the United States, while questioning whether this influence still exists. In the years following the defeat of the Confederacy by the Union, resistance to Reconstruction and changes in the status of former African slaves was to emerge throughout the American South. Supremacist organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan and Knights of the White Camellia were formed in part by southern leaders in the 1860s to destroy the voting power of newly freed slaves and to do damage to carpetbag misrule. According to the paper, such organizations are restructuring themselves into survivalist groups that are calling for increased cultural separatism. The author further contends that such groups do exist and do exert an influence over American political and social systems, but their actual presence and influence in American life is most probably less than one might suspect.
From the Paper
"It was, however, the formal resistance to the policies of Reconstruction in the form of the Klan that most troubled race relations in the South during an long after Reconstruction. Martin and Roberts (1989, pp. 501 -502) quote a historian of the Klan who asserted that it "whipped, shot, hanged, robbed, raped and otherwise outraged Negroes and Republicans across the South in the name of preserving white civilization." A major goal of the Klan was to intimidate Republican voters and electoral candidates (including those Blacks who were affiliated with the Party) and to restore Democrats to office."

Abstract
In this paper the author discusses the situation of Black Americans and assesses whether the abolishment of slavery has provided any greater protection under the law. The author starts at the beginning of the 19th century and looks at how Blacks were taken into slavery and brought to America. The author moves on to discuss the Missouri Compromise and the discussions that took place regarding ?slave free states?. The author then discusses then various laws that were passed during the 19th century and how the issue of slavery was eventually brought before the nation.
From the paper:
?For a brief period during Reconstruction, many African Americans voted, and some were elected to public office. In the late 1870?s, however, enthusiasm for ensuring black equality waned in both the North and the Republican Party, and by 1877, when federal troops were withdrawn from the South, blacks were left to the power of whites committed to restoring white supremacy.?

Abstract
This paper looks at the author's upbringing and how this influenced his writing of this work. The book issues an ultimatum to American whites to wake up to the degradation they had been forcing upon American blacks at the cost of their own debasement. It warns that if not, the world will be destroyed by fire.
From the Paper
"Growing up black Baldwin experienced race as the single most important element in his life. The fact that he was black overwhelmed everything else. In the letter that introduces the book, Baldwin?s uncle says, you ?faced the future that you faced because you were black and for no other reason? (18). Baldwin knows this well. Being black is the central fact of his life. Young blacks spent their days ?fighting the man? (31). Hopelessness was the constant mood. There was a ?cloud that stood between them and the sun? (82 ). Every black he knew was ?worn down . . .by the incessant and gratuitous humiliation and danger? (32) that each faced every day."

Integrationism and African-American Nationalism, 2008.
This paper contrasts the political ideas of integrationism and African-American nationalism during the Civil Rights era.

Abstract
This paper explains that, during the black civil rights movement, some leaders favored integrationism, which meant that these activists were willing to work with sympathetic whites to achieve their goal of civil rights. The paper points out that other leaders favored African-American nationalism, which meant the opposite of integrationism. The paper relates that, during the first ten years, the movement was mainly integrationist, as modeled by Martin Luther King Jr. King, who favored using non-violent methods, such as sit-ins, to oppose discrimination. The author continues that, by around 1966, the Black Power movement with activists, such as Malcolm X, who favored black self-determination, was growing. The paper states that the African-American nationalism has been accused of being in favor of black supremacy.
From the Paper
"There is a sad but interesting common factor that is shared by the integrationist movement and African American Nationalism. Although integrationism was much more moderate than African American Nationalism, both were threatening enough to some people in the USA that the most prominent leaders of both movements were assassinated. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee; while Malcolm X was assassinated in 1965, at the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem."

Abstract
This paper discusses the themes found in James Baldwin's book, "The Fire Next Time". The devastating effects of white supremacy and the degrading treatment endured by Baldwin and all other blacks is described as race, religion, hatred, suffering, white supremacy, the black separatist movement, change, liberation and vengeance as themes are shown to be a natural outgrowth of Baldwin's childhood in New York's Harlem. Finally, Baldwin's alternative to vengeance and "The Fire Next Time" is discussed as his solution to the race problem evolves into his major themes of love and humanity.
From the Paper
"James Baldwin?s The Fire Next Time, published in 1962, was an ultimatum to American whites to wake up to the degradation they had been forcing upon American blacks at the cost of their own debasement. He was issuing a warning that if his advice was ignored there would be a heavy price to pay, a price as horrible as the destruction of the world by fire. Baldwin?s passionately expressed themes are race, religion, hatred, suffering, white supremacy, the black separatist movement, change, liberation, vengeance, and most significant of all, the one that can avert the fire, humanity and love.

The War on Terror, 2003.
A discussion on whether Bush's 'War on Terror' can be considered a fight for freedom or a fight for supremacy.

Abstract
This paper considers how the power and supremacy of the U.S. was threatened by the September 11th attacks and how the resulting 'war on terror' is simply revenge by the U.S. for threatening their status as a superpower. It outlines the events the occurred after the attacks and argues that the so-called, ?war on terror? appears to be nothing more than a mission to re-assert the dominance of the U.S. over nations. It puts forward the stance that the attack on Afghanistan was unjust to hold a whole country responsible for the actions of one group.
From the Paper
"Bush portrayed his ?war on terror? as a fight for freedom and justified his attack on Afghanistan by suggesting that ridding the country of Taliban rule and terrorist activity would free its citizens and benefit citizens all over the world. However, Hudson (2002) suggests that freedom of citizens is not at the forefront of US policy: ?Human rights violations are likely to be ignored if they take place in a country that does not have any material or strategic importance to the US.? (Scraton, 2002, p197). This issue is backed further by the sudden US acknowledgement of the suppression caused by the Taliban. Soon after the September 11 attacks Cherie Blair and Barbara Bush started lecturing the world about the suppression of women under Taliban rule."

Abstract
This paper assesses whether the traditionalist views held by Dicey, Blackstone and Jennings et al, still hold weight in contemporary Britain following enactment of the European Communities Act and the Factortame Merchant Shipping Case. It describes the traditionalist conventions, such as the enrolled bill rule, Heuston's manner and form thesis and implied repeal. It then looks at the UK court's attitude to the development of the common law in relation to these principles according to the primacy of European legislation and asks whether the British constition has been indirectly amended as a result.
From the Paper
"However, a further challenge to the traditional view has come from the UK?s membership of the European Union. The European Communities Act incorporates EC law into the UK legal system providing the mechanism by which EC law is incorporated, gives powers to government to implement EC law, provides that UK courts should interpret all legislation to avoid conflict and that they should determine disputes in accordance with the principles laid down by the European Court of Justice. It is the final point that has the strongest implications, in that the ECJ has decided in Internationale Handelsgesellschaft that EC law takes priority over incompatible national law. The principle was to be upheld in the Factortame case , where the House of Lords disapplied the Merchant Shipping Act when granting interim relief to Spanish fishermen in breach of UK law."
