—Lipton Matthews writing for a white nationalist website.[1] |
—Lipton Matthews interviewing holocaust denier Thomas Dalton.[2] |
Lipton Matthews, Jr. is a Jamaican global warming denialist,[3] Holocaust denier,[2][4][5][6] hereditarian, anti-feminist and promoter of human biodiversity pseudoscience who writes articles for alt-right and white nationalist websites such as American Renaissance, Aporia Magazine, Counter-Currents and The Unz Review.[7][8][9][10] His interviews with far-right influencers such as Edward Dutton and the Holocaust denier Thomas Dalton are published on the anti-Semitic Occidental Observer and neo-Nazi National Vanguard.[2][11][12]
Matthews has been described as American Renaissance's most frequent black contributor.[9] He has written 10 articles for the website.[13] He argues in support of "White Racial Consciousness".[14] He was a student at the University of the West Indies.[15] In response to why he writes for white nationalist websites, he has said they are willing to explore controversial issues.[9] He says he rejects black culture.[1]
Matthews supports western colonialism and opposes immigration and multiculturalism.[9][16][17][18] He has complained that he has been blocked from YouTube and censored on Twitter.[19] Matthews has controversially defended child labour.[20][21]
Views[edit]
“”White men made Western civilization great. If Americans want to suffer economically — the way Uganda did after its black politicians expelled the country’s successful Asian minority — then business and political elites should continue to dismiss white men. But if America wants to retain superpower status, white men must be valued.

—Lipton Matthews[22] |
Matthews argues that diversity is a "delusion" and describes racial unity as a "myth".[23][24] He is on record saying "I love the bourgeois society that whites created" and describes third-world countries as a "dump".[25]
He is a writer for the paleoconservative magazine Chronicles.[26] The Southern Poverty Law Center have stated that Chronicles "caters to the more intellectual wing of the white nationalist movement".[27] Matthews is also a writer for The Federalist and the Mises Institute.[28][29]
Intelligence[edit]
Matthews has written an article for the far-right Counter-Currents website, "The Reality of the Black-White IQ Gap Is Undeniable".[30] He takes his research from controversial hereditarians such as Richard Lynn, Davide Piffer, John G. R. Fuerst and Emil Kirkegaard's OpenPsych pseudojournals.[30]
It’s evident that the black-white IQ gap has a genetic basis, and stating otherwise will not alter this reality, nor will it improve the status of black Americans. Our only option is to accept the science and desist from fixating on racial disparities.[30]
Compared to whites and Asians, blacks are not as accomplished; however, the argument that racism is driving the relative underachievement of blacks has been discredited by empirical research. There is a long-standing assumption that blacks do worse academically due to the villainy of colorism. Yet, this thesis was disconfirmed by researchers who propounded that the link between skin color and academic performance is explainable by the genetic advantages of ancestry. After a thorough assessment of discrimination theories, the authors reported that such arguments were untenable, and the genetic model offered greater predictive power.[31]
Matthews interviewed Richard Lynn for the Occidental Observer which was also published by The Unz Review.[32][33]
Human biodiversity[edit]
“”They say race is a social construct but the evidence suggests otherwise.
|
—Lipton Matthews[34] |
Matthews identifies as a "race realist" and is a supporter of human biodiversity pseudoscience.[9][14]
White Nationalists want a larger outlet for their ideas, and this goal is not insurmountable if they employ the right strategy. White Nationalism isn’t palatable to many today, but the human biodiversity (HDB) project is gaining credibility. In order for it to succeed, White Nationalists should rebrand themselves as human biodiversity advocates, and when their new publications acquire some esteem, they must infiltrate the mainstream with dissident ideas. Saying that you are a White Nationalist is a losing strategy, since people don’t want to be associated with a movement they equate with hate. But one can be a human biodiversity advocate without being a White Nationalist.[14]
White nationalism[edit]
Matthews is supportive of white nationalism which he distinguishes from white supremacy but only if white nationalists endorse human biodiversity.[14]
White Nationalists, on the other hand, envision homelands for white people. They are tribalists who prefer to be around their own people because they value the cohesion of homogeneous societies. If White Nationalists would articulate their positions with greater clarity, then the stigma surrounding it would be removed.
Without recruiting smart people to write for their new HBD publications, this goal will never be achieved, however. If they succeed in employing the right people — those who can explain the idiocy of those who condemn White Nationalists as racists while revering the Black Nationalist Marcus Garvey— then the movement will gain some ground. People are becoming more receptive to discussing racial differences in intelligence and other controversial topics, and thus White Nationalists can bring their movement into the mainstream by rebranding themselves as something else and then getting people to affirm the logic of white identity politics.[14]
Colonialism[edit]
Matthews is supportive of western colonialism.[16]
Anti-colonialism is a political ploy to enslave white people to the greedy demands of activists by cultivating guilt about Western imperialism. Clearly, imperialism is expensive and often oppressive, but the imposition of Western rule produced favorable outcomes in several countries.[16]
Jamaicans would have never been dominant in sports had it not been for British colonialism. Colonial culture integrated sports into the education system. This led to the formation of CHAMPS, a super important track event in Jamaica.[35]
Marriage[edit]
Matthews is a strong advocate of marriage. He has argued that single mothers cause harm to Jamaican society and has described unmarried pregnant women as being less worthy.[36]
Opposition to black history month[edit]
Matthews has criticized black history month in an article for the American Renaissance.[37]
This is why we should scrap Black History Month. It’s irrelevant to learning, and is solely about projecting undeserved black pride. For one month, black people get to brag that their race has produced men and women on par with the best whites. But they show no desire to carry on the work of these illustrious characters. Blacks use this time only to score cheap political points. After the fanfare, forgotten black thinkers revert to being interesting subjects only for scholarly whites.
Unlike whites who celebrate men such as Adam Smith and Milton Friedman every day, blacks lack zeal for non-commercial learning. Giving blacks a month to promote their historical achievements is pointless if their attitude towards learning stays the same. The heroes of the black community will always be entertainers, not forgotten intellectuals such as Abram Harris and Alexander Crummell or entrepreneurs such as Elijah McCoy and Milly Pierce. All Black History Month does is stroke the egos of some blacks. We should scrap it to spare blacks the burden of pretending to care about learning.[37]
Global warming denialism[edit]
Matthews is a global warming denialist.[3][38] He believes increased CO2 is beneficial for the planet and ignores all the negative consequences of global warming including acidification of the oceans, habitat destruction, loss of sea ice, melting glaciers and ice sheets and rises in sea levels. Like other global-warming denialists, Matthews is obsessed with claiming global warming is greening the planet.
Global warming is associated with the greening of the planet and rising biodiversity. In fact, NASA satellites have observed that the greening of the earth during recent decades has been considerable. Moreover, NASA even computed that the earth is greener today than in the 1980s. Global greening implies that the increasing availability of farmlands for agricultural production can avert fears of an impending food crisis.[3]
Matthews ignores the fact that CO2 is not the only factor that controls plant growth.[39] Plants need the correct balance of water and soil nutrients to translate extra carbon dioxide into growth. Climate change, driven by excessive CO2 increases drought, reduces water supply for plants while simultaneously increasing the risk of wildfires.[39] Contrary to what Matthews believes, extra CO2 can make plants less nutritious as they end up containing lower concentrations of nutrients such as nitrogen, copper and potassium.[40]
Matthews has interviewed H. Sterling Burnett on his podcast who claims global warming is not bad for the earth as humans thrive in warmer periods.[3] Burnett has described global warming as a hoax.[41]
In September 2020, Matthews was sharing climate-change denial articles from the Heartland Institute on social media.[42]
Holocaust denial[edit]
Matthews is supportive of the Holocaust revisionism denial of Thomas Dalton.[43] He has interviewed Dalton for the anti-Semitic Occidental Observer.[12]
The Anti-Defamation League have described Dalton as an author of "numerous Holocaust denial works".[44] Matthews is supportive of Dalton's book Debating the Holocaust and has heavily promoted it:
Thomas Dalton's Debating the Holocaust is the most incisive book I have read on the topic. People should appreciate that several mainstream sources on the topic are inaccurate. Genocides are not unusual and the figures involved are often debated so this should not be an anomaly.[45]
Matthews advertised the book on his social media, also claiming he has a free pdf of the book.[46][47]
His interview with holocaust denier Thomas Dalton was published on the neo-Nazi website National Vanguard.[2] In the interview, Dalton admitted to being an anti-Semite and Matthews agreed with everything he said while describing Dalton's conspiracy theories of "Jewish power structures" as "legendary":
MATTHEWS: ‘Anti-Semitism’ is frequently employed as a derisive term to shame thinkers like yourself who adopt an unflinching approach to criticizing Jewish power structures. Do you think that this epithet is justified?
Dalton: This all depends on what we mean by ‘anti-Semitism.’ Let’s look at a bit of history. The Semites were the people traditionally descended from Noah’s (of the ark) son Shem, who were described as ‘Shemites’ or Semites. Some nine generations after Shem came Abraham, traditional patriarch of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Abraham was said to live circa 2000 BC, which would put Shem at 4000 BC or earlier—although such genealogies have almost zero credence.
[...]
As we know, Jews have appropriated the term ‘anti-Semitism’ to apply to anyone they view as a threat, for virtually any reason. An anti-Semite is thus an opponent or enemy of the Jewish people, as a collective. And since Jews get to determine who is an opponent, the term can mean anything they want it to mean.
Speaking for myself, I oppose Jewish dominance and virtual rule in the Western nations—countries in which they are historic foreigners and infiltrators. I guess that makes me an anti-Semite; so be it. I also oppose “Jewish power structures” in Israel when they commit war crimes and crimes against humanity. So that makes me a double anti-Semite. So what? On this basis, any thinking, moral person ought to be an anti-Semite. We need to make that term a badge of honor.
[...]
Matthews: In Debating the Holocaust, you give a fair hearing to mainstream arguments and sobering critiques, yet despite the impartial tone, many consider it to be an anti-Semitic text. Why are people hesitant to challenge orthodox assumptions of the Holocaust?
Dalton: The Holocaust is the Achilles’ Heel of the global Jewish Lobby. It is their central guilt tool. It was the final justification for the creation of Israel. It is the source of countless billions in ‘reparations’—well over $120 billion to date. It allows them to promote their victimhood status throughout the West, and to exploit peoples’ sympathies. It is the true “Big Lie” of the present day. Consequently, undermining the standard Holocaust story is one of the most potent actions we can take today, to bring down Jewish power.
Interested readers will have to read my book, but in brief, there are many serious holes in the orthodox view. Start with the fact that the supposed deaths of 6 million Jews, over about five and a half years, comes to nearly 3,000 deaths per day—every day, 24/7, rain or shine. Amidst a global war. It hardly seems plausible on the face of it. Then we note that killing people is relatively easy, but disposing of their bodies is much, much harder. Even a modern crematorium cannot reduce a human body to ash; large bones always remain. Crude Nazi ovens could do much less—not to mention the “open-air fires” that are said to have consumed hundreds of thousands of bodies (almost 600,000 at Auschwitz alone).
[...]
Matthews: How do we distinguish between “anti-Semitism” and legitimate explorations of Jewish Power?
Dalton: The implication here is that anti-Semitism involves “illegitimate” explorations of Jewish power—a point that I would dispute. All such examinations are legitimate, whatever the motive. Jews have caused so much pain and suffering over the millennia that no exposé can be unwarranted or too harsh.
Matthews: Your trenchant critiques of Jewish power structures are legendary, but what do you have to say about wokeness, Covid-19 hysteria, and the religion of anti-whiteness?
Dalton: Huge issues here, for sure. On the Covid-19 hysteria, things are still a bit too fluid and muddled to draw big conclusions. Apart from the Jewess now running the CDC (Rochelle Walensky), there seems to be a minimal Jewish role here. I wrote a recent piece on the uselessness of masks (“The emperor’s new mask”), and I suspect the vaccines are almost as bad. Never before have we been able to vaccinate against a coronavirus, and I would guess that these recent ones will prove either marginally effective or short-lived. Evidence is increasing that the virus itself was generated or manipulated in a Chinese lab, with potentially huge implications.
‘Wokeness’ is a hypersensitivity to all issues favored by Jews: gender confusion, gay rights, interracial mixing, mass immigration, pity-mongering, and other generally politically-correct matters. Jews push a woke culture because it serves their interests; a diverse, multiracial, multicultural, sexually-confused nation is one that can scarcely muster the strength to deal with the Jewish Question.
In particular, Jews like to portray themselves as great friends to Blacks, Hispanics, and other “oppressed” minorities. In reality, Jews hold nothing but contempt for such people; we need only recall the leading Jewish role in the American slave trade. Jews are expert at using and coopting minorities for their own ends.
And to your other point, they use minorities in a kind of war against Whites. Holocaust-guilt seems to have reached the saturation point, so prominent Jews now have turned to racial-guilt in their battle against Whites. Whites are guilty of “systemic racism,” and hence must continually feel bad about themselves and their race, and must continually atone for this original sin. Again, it puts Whites on the defensive and minimizes any risk of a mass White Nationalism—or so they believe. Some of us suspect that this Jewish strategy may backfire. Time will tell.
But these and related issues are sure to resurface in the future. Jewish potential for mischief is endless. It takes a fair amount of reading and thinking to get a grip on this situation, and on the radical solutions that are likely necessary. Again, I would point interested readers to my personal website (www.thomasdaltonphd.com), and to the Clemens & Blair publishing site, which handles many of my books (www.clemensandblair.com). There are lots of good sources there, and many profitable leads to follow. Thanks for the opportunity to chat.
Matthews: Thank you![2]
In March 2024, Matthews sympathised again with Dalton's Holocaust denial views and described his interview with him as "good".[48]
Islamophobia[edit]
Matthews believes that Muslims are unintelligent.
Islamic countries are underdeveloped because anti-rational schools in Islam are incompatible with secularism and liberalism. Islam is yet to disentangle reason from revelation.[49]
Position on Israel[edit]
Matthews claims he does not support Israel as they are "peddling propaganda". He describes black men who are pro-Israel as "hacks".
Israel and Palestine are both peddling propaganda.[50]
A black man who some years ago was a left wing hustler but today spouts pro-Israel platitudes is a hack. There was never an evolution of thought he is simply following the gravy train. Blacks straddle the democratic and republican plantations without knowing.[51]
Podcast[edit]
Matthews has interviewed various eugenicists, hereditarians and far-right influencers on his YouTube channel, including:
- Jonathan Anomaly[52]
- Noah Carl[53]
- Nathan Cofnas[54]
- Edward Dutton[55][56]
- Richard Hanania[57]
- Lee Jussim[58]
- Richard Lynn[59]
- Kevin MacDonald[60]
- Charles Murray[61]
- Adam Perkins[62]
- Heiner Rindermann[63]
- Steve Sailer[64]
- Jared Taylor[65]
- Russell T. Warne[66]
His podcast has been promoted by the racist pseudointellectual Emil Kirkegaard.[67] In 2024, Matthews posted that his YouTube account was blocked.[19] This was likely due to him violating their terms of service on discrimination and hate speech. In response he has created a new podcast.[68]
In September 2024, Matthews complained that his interview with Michael Rectenwald was removed by YouTube.
“”YouTube sent me an email to inform me that it removed my video on the Great Reset with Michael Rectenwald. Yet they have all those propaganda videos on CRT.

Pissed at RationalWiki[edit]
Matthews dislikes his factual RationalWiki article that quotes his offensive and pseudoscientific views. He claims without providing any evidence the article contains "defamatory statements".
Continue to peddle defamatory statements. Rationalwiki is trash and a lot of you are going to be sued.[70]
Despite claiming that we are going to be sued, no lawsuit has been forthcoming.
