What’s so bad about the John Birch Society? They have proven to be more accurate than the average college professor.
Race realism.
It's complicated. For the traditional white Southern segregationists in the Birch Society, that certainly was a factor (although this was never stressed in Birch outreach). But other Birchers were from the radical libertarian, non-racialist "Intercollegiate Society of Individualists" school of thought, and they certainly were not what people today call "racial realists."
Of course Society founder Robert Welch was an evolutionist, so if you're promoting the idea that human beings make up a plethora of different species with millions of years of evolution separating them from one another, then yes, maybe you have some kinship there. Then there was founding member Revilo P. Oliver, an atheist who thought religious people were stupid rubes and who considered being "Aryan" the big thing holding anti-Communists together. He was also pro-Nazi, anti-Jewish, and ranted and raved about the "Congoloids" in America. Is that what you mean by "race realism?"
