' Recently there have been several good articles on the increasing harm that anti-racism is doing to our institutions and our country. These include Michael Murphy’s “Why anti-racism kills”, Lara Brown’s “The uncomfortable truth about the new Mental Health Act” and Ed West’s “Britain is institutionally ‘anti-racist’“, “Secret State: The Nottingham Inquiry”, and “Moloch must be fed: Anti-racism and child sacrifice”. I’ve also touched on the subject in a couple of my own pieces. See “The war on noticing in modern Britain” and “Grooming gangs and the failure of social science”. It’s clear that anti-racism today has little to do with combatting racism in any commonly understood sense, and that it is having an increasingly corrupting influence on our society.

However, none of these articles have offered much in the way of solutions, so today I intend to propose some. I want to look at what can be done in areas ranging from politics to law, the incentives within institutions, and in the world of ideas. '

Further:

' What is needed now therefore is “The Anti-Racism Inquiry”: an official public inquiry into the harms this ideology has caused. This should include a comprehensive and detailed account of the examples I listed above, together with recommendations for policy changes to prevent things like this from happening again. Such an inquiry would also help to provide the evidentiary basis for the other changes I propose. '

    “She’ll be riding 7 white horses when she comes, when she comes. She’ll be riding around the bend when she comes, when she comes.” So may father sang some version of his own of the famed spiritual son that used to echo off the ridges and mountains and riverbeds that make Chattanooga home as returned from our morning paper route beneath the mountains and by this famed river bend.

I. THE INTRODUCTION
 
 
A. Art of the Day 
  • The colorful, blurry, swimming-in-the-mind sense of a jazz cafe, balanced blissfully against the cacophony of conversation in the drum beat of the street surrounding, the blending of indoors and outdoors, the real and the surreal, the deeply honest and flagrantly fake, the warm cafe amidst the cold streets, with hope still stirring amidst. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  •  "Avoid the necessity of those overgrown military establishments, which, under any form of government, are inauspicious to liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to Republican Liberty.” George Washington.

The Barnes Brief, Weekend of May 29, 2026

BRIEF

I. THE INTRODUCTION
 
A. Art of the Day 
  • The Battle of Bunker Hill, by early American artist John Trumbull, a battle the British managed to lose while winning. By holding off the British as long as they did, the Americans seized the narrative and strategic victory. Legend grew of a young farmer turned Colonel of the Minute Men, promising to hold the Hill or periosh trying for at least one more night, with the famous phrase echoed: “Don’t Fire Boys Till You See the Whites of Their Eyes”, or at least legend would have it. I admit my fondness for the legend with its Sun Tsu style proverbial wisdom, but also for a more direct reason: Colonel Prescott was a great, great granddaddy of mine. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  • “Don’t Fire Till You See the Whites of Their Eyes.” Colonel Prescott, according to legend.
