- America will soon have a white minority. This is a much
desired state of affairs for the hostile elites who hold political power
and shape public opinion. But it certainly creates some management issues
- at least in the long run. After all, it's difficult to come up with
an historical example of a nation with a solid ethnic majority (90%
white in 1950) that has voluntarily decided to cede political and cultural
power. Such transformations are typically accomplished by military invasions,
great battles, and untold suffering.
-
- And it's not as if everyone is doing it. Only Western
nations view their own demographic and cultural eclipse as a moral imperative.
Indeed, as I have noted previously, it is striking that racial nationalism
has triumphed in Israel at the same time that the Jewish intellectual
and political movements and the organized Jewish community have been
the most active and effective force for a non- white America. Indeed,
a poll in 2008 found that Avigdor Lieberman was the second most popular
politician in Israel. Lieberman has advocated expulsion of Arabs from
Israel and has declared himself a follower of Vladimir Jabotinsky, the
leading pioneer of racial Zionism. The most popular politician in the
poll was Benjamin Netanyahu - another admirer of Jabotinsky. Prime Minister
Ehud Olmert and Foreign Minister Tzipi Li vni are also Jabotinskyists.
-
- The racial Zionists are now carrying out yet another
orgy of mass murder after a starvation-inducing blockade and the usual
triggering assault designed to provoke Palestinian retaliation - which
then becomes the cover for claims that Israel is merely defending itself
against terrorism. This monstrosity was approved by overwhelming majorities
of both Houses of Congress. The craven Bush administration did its part
by abstaining from a UN resolution designed by the US Secretary of State
as a result of a personal appeal by the Israeli Prime Minister. This
is yet another accomplishment of the Israel Lobby, but one they would
rather not have discussed in public. People might get the impression
that the Lobby really does dictate US foreign policy in the Mideast.
Obviously, such thoughts are only entertained by anti-Semites.
-
- But I digress.
-
- In managing the eclipse of white America, one strategy
of the mainstream media is to simply ignore the issue. Christopher Donovan
("For the media, the less whites think about their coming minority
status, the better") has noted that the media, and in particular,
the New York Times, are quite uninterested in doing stories that discuss
what white people think about this state of affairs.
-
- t's not surprising that the New York Times - the Jewish-owned
flagship of anti-white, pro-multicultural media - ignores the issue.
The issue is also missing from so-called conservative media even though
one would think that conservatives would find the eclipse of white America
to be an important issue. Certainly, their audiences would find it interesting.
-
- Now we have an article "The End of White America"
written by Hua Hsu, an Assistant Professor of English at Vassar College.
The article is a rather depressing display of what passes for intellectual
discourse on the most important question confronting white people in
America.
-
- Hsu begins by quoting a passage in F. Scott Fitzgerald's
The Great Gatsby in which a character, Tom Buchanan, states: "Have
you read The Rise of the Colored Empires by this man Goddard?"
Well, it's a fine book, and everybody ought to read it. The idea is if
we don't look out the white race will be-will be utterly submerged. It's
all scientific stuff; it's been proved."
-
- Buchanan's comment is a thinly veiled reference to Lothrop
Stoddard's The Rising Tide of Color which Hsu describes as "rationalized
hatred" presented in a scholarly, gentlemanly, and scientific tone.
(This wording that will certainly help him when he comes up for tenure.)
As Hsu notes, Stoddard had a doctorate from Harvard and was a member
of many academic associations. His book was published by a major publisher.
It was therefore "precisely the kind of book that a 1920s man of
Buchanan's profile - wealthy, Ivy Leagueeducated, at once pretentious
and intellectually insecure - might have been expected to bring up in
casual conversation."
-
- Let's ponder that a bit. The simple reality is that in
the year 2009 an Ivy League-educated person, "at once pretentious
and intellectually insecure," would just as glibly assert the same
sort of nonsense as Hsu. To wit:
-
- The coming white minority does not mean that the racial
hierarchy of American culture will suddenly become inverted, as in 1995's
White Man's Burden, an awful thought experiment of a film, starring
John Travolta, that envisions an upside-down world in which whites are
subjugated to their high-class black oppressors. There will be dislocations
and resentments along the way, but the demographic shifts of the next
40 years are likely to reduce the power of racial hierarchies over everyone's
lives, producing a culture that's more likely than any before to treat
its inhabitants as individuals, rather than members of a caste or identity
group.
-
- The fact is that no one can say for certain what multicultural
America without a white majority will be like. There is no scientific
or historical basis for claims like "the demographic shifts of the
next 40 years are likely to reduce the power of racial hierarchies over
everyone's lives, producing a culture that's more likely than any before
to treat its inhabitants as individuals, rather than members of a caste
or identity group."
-
- Indeed, there is no evidence at all that we are proceeding
to a color blind future. The election results continue to show that
white people are coalescing in the Republican Party, while the Democrats
are increasingly the party of a non-white soon-to-be majority.
-
- Is it so hard to believe that when this coalition achieves
a majority that it will further compromise the interests of whites far
beyond contemporary concerns such as immigration policy and affirmative
action? Hsu anticipates a colorblind world, but affirmative action means
that blacks and other minorities are certainly not treated as individuals.
And it means that whites - especially white males - are losing out on
opportunities they would have had without these policies and without
the massive non- white immigration of the last few decades.
-
- Given the intractability of changing intelligence and
other traits required for success in the contemporary economy, it is unlikely
that 40 more years of affirmative action will attain the outcomes desired
by the minority lobbies. Indeed, in Obama's America, blacks are rioting
in Oakland over perceived racial injustices, and from 2002 2007,
black juvenile homicide victims increased 31%, while black juvenile perpetrators
increased 43%. Hence, the reasonable outlook is for a continuing need
for affirmative action and for racial activism in these groups, even
after whites become a minority.
-
- Whites will also lose out because of large-scale importation
of relatively talented immigrants from East Asia. Indeed, as I noted over
a decade ago, "The United States is well on the road to being dominated
by an Asian technocratic elite and a Jewish business, professional, and
media elite."
-
- Hsu shows that there already is considerable anxiety
among whites about the future. An advertizing executive says, "I think
white people feel like they're under siege right now - like it's not okay
to be white right now, especially if you're a white male. ... People
are stressed out about it. `We used to be in control! We're losing control'"
Another says, "There's a lot of fear and a lot of resentment."
-
- It's hard to see why these feelings won't increase in
the future.
-
- A huge problem for white people is lack of intellectual
and cultural confidence. Hsu quotes Christian (Stuff White People Like)
Lander saying, "I get it: as a straight white male, I'm the worst
thing on Earth." A professor comments that for his students "to
be white is to be culturally broke. The classic thing white students
say when you ask them to talk about who they are is, `I don't have a
culture.' They might be privileged, they might be loaded socioeconomically,
but they feel bankrupt when it comes to culture They feel disadvantaged,
and they feel marginalized."
-
- This lack of cultural confidence is no accident. For
nearly 100 years whites have been subjected to a culture of critique
emanating from the most prestigious academic and media institutions.
And, as Hsu points out, the most vibrant and influential aspect of American
popular culture is hip-hop-a product of the African American urban culture.
-
- The only significant group of white people with any cultural
confidence centers itself around country music, NASCAR, and the small
town values of traditional white America. For this group of whites -
and only this group - there is "a racial pride that dares not speak
its name, and that defines itself through cultural cues instead-a suspicion
of intellectual elites and city dwellers, a preference for folksiness
and plainness of speech (whether real or feigned), and the association
of a working-class white minority with 'the real America.'"
-
- This is what I term implicit whiteness - implicit because
explicit assertions of white identity have been banned by the anti- white
elites that dominate our politics and culture. It is a culture that,
as Hsu notes, "cannot speak its name."
-
- But that implies that the submerged white identity of
the white working class and the lack of cultural confidence exhibited by
the rest of white America are imposed from outside. Although there may
well be characteristics of whites that facilitate this process, this suppression
of white identity and interests is certainly not the natural outcome
of modernization or any other force internal to whites as a people. In
my opinion, they are the result of the successful erection of a culture
of critique in the West dominated by Jewish intellectual and political
movements.
-
- The result is that educated, intellectually insecure
white people these days are far more likely to believe in the utopian future
described by Hsu than in hard and cautious thinking about what the future
might have in store for them.
-
- It's worth dwelling a bit on the intellectual insecurity
of the whites who mindlessly utter the mantras of multiculturalism that
they have soaked up from the school system and from the media. Most
people do not have much confidence in their intellectual ability and
look to elite opinion to shape their beliefs. As I noted elsewhere,
-
- A critical component of the success of the culture of
critique is that it achieved control of the most prestigious and influential
institutions of the West, and it became a consensus among the elites,
Jewish and non-Jewish alike. Once this happened, it is not surprising
that this culture became widely accepted among people of very different
levels of education and among people of different social classes.
-
- Most people are quite insecure about their intellectual
ability. But they know that the professors at Harvard, and the editorial
page of the New York Times and the Washington Post, and even conservative
commentators like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are all on page when
it comes to racial and ethnic issues. This is a formidable array, to
the point that you almost have to be a crank to dissent from this consensus.
-
- I think one of the greatest triumphs of the left has
been to get people to believe that people who assert white identity and
interests or who make unflattering portrayals of organized Jewish movements
are morally degenerate, stupid, and perhaps psychiatrically disturbed.
Obviously, all of these adjectives designate low status.
-
- The reality is that the multicultural emperor has no
clothes and, because of its support for racial Zionism and the racialism
of ethnic minorities in America, it is massively hypocritical to boot.
The New York Times, the academic left, and the faux conservatives that
dominate elite discourse on race and ethnicity are intellectually bankrupt
and can only remain in power by ruthlessly suppressing or ignoring the
scientific findings.
-
- This is particularly a problem for college-educated whites.
Like Fitzgerald's Tom Buchanan, such people have a strong need to feel
that their ideas are respectable and part of the mainstream. But the
respectable mainstream gives them absolutely nothing with which to validate
themselves except perhaps the idea that the world will be a better place
when people like them no longer have power. Hsu quotes the pathetic Christian
Lander: ""Like, I'm aware of all the horrible crimes that my
demographic has done in the world. ... And there's a bunch of white people
who are desperate - desperate - to say, `You know what? My skin's white,
but I'm not one of the white people who's destroying the world.'"
-
- As a zombie leftist during the 1960s and 1970s, I know
what that feeling of desperation is like - what it's like to be a self-
hating white. We must get to the point where college-educated whites
proudly and confidently say they are white and that they do not want
to become a minority in America.
-
- This reminds me of the recent docudrama Milk, which depicts
the life of gay activist Harvey Milk. Milk is sure be nominated for an
Oscar as Best Picture because it lovingly illustrates a triumph of the
cultural left. But is has an important message that should resonate
with the millions of whites who have been deprived of their confidence
and their culture: Be explicit. Just as Harvey Milk advocated being openly
gay even in the face of dire consequences, whites need to tell their
family and their friends that they have an identity as a white person
and believe that whites have legitimate interests as white people. They
must accept the consequences when they are harassed, fired from their
jobs, or put in prison for such beliefs. They must run for political
office as openly pro-white.
-
- Milk shows that homosexuals were fired from their jobs
and arrested for congregating in public. Now it's the Southern Poverty
Law Center and the rest of the leftist intellectual and political establishment
that harasses and attempts to get people fired. But it's the same situation
with the roles reversed. No revolution was ever accomplished without
some martyrs. The revolution that restores the legitimacy of white identity
and the legitimacy of white interests will be no exception.
-
- But it is a revolution that is absolutely necessary.
The white majority is foolish indeed to entrust its future to a utopian
hope that racial and ethnic identifications will disappear and that they
won't continue to influence public policy in ways that compromise the
interests of whites.
-
- It does not take an overactive imagination to see that
coalitions of minority groups could compromise the interests of formerly
dominant whites. We already see numerous examples in which coalitions
of minority groups attempt to influence public policy, including immigration
policy, against the interests of the whites. Placing ourselves in a position
of vulnerability would be extremely risky, given the deep sense of historical
grievance harbored by many ethnic activists and organized ethnic lobbies.
-
- This is especially the case with Jews. Jewish organisations
have been unanimous in condemning Western societies, Western traditions,
and Christianity, for past crimes against Jews. Similar sentiments are
typical of a great many African Americans and Latinos, and especially
among the ethnic activists from these groups. The "God damn America"
sermon by President Obama's pastor comes to mind as a recent notorious
example.
-
- The precedent of the early decades of the Soviet Union
should give pause to anyone who believes that surrendering ethnic hegemony
does not carry risks. The Bolshevik revolution had a pronounced ethnic
angle: To a very great extent, Jews and other non-Russians ruled over
the Russian people, with disastrous consequences for the Russians and
other ethnic groups that were not able to become part of the power structure.
Jews formed a hostile elite within this power structure - as they will
in the future white-minority America; Jews were "Stalin's willing
executioners."
-
- Two passages from my review of Yuri Slezkine's The Jewish
Century seem particularly appropriate here. The first passage reminds me
of the many American Jews who adopt a veneer of support for causes of
leftist versions of social justice and racial tolerance while nevertheless
managing to support racial Zionism and the mass murder, torture, and
incarceration of the Palestinians. Such people may be very different
when they become a hostile elite in a white-minority America.
-
- Many of the commentators on Jewish Bolsheviks noted
the "transformation" of Jews [after the Bolshevik Revolution].
In the words of [a] Jewish commentator, G. A. Landau, "cruelty, sadism,
and violence had seemed alien to a nation so far removed from physical
activity." And another Jewish commentator, Ia. A. Bromberg, noted
that: the formerly oppressed lover of liberty had turned into a tyrant
of "unheard-of-despotic arbitrariness". The convinced and unconditional
opponent of the death penalty not just for political crimes but for the
most heinous offenses, who could not, as it were, watch a chicken being
killed, has been transformed outwardly into a leather-clad person with
a revolver and, in fact, lost all human likeness. ...
-
- After the Revolution, ... there was active suppression
of any remnants of the older order and their descendants. ... The mass
murder of peasants and nationalists was combined with the systematic
exclusion of the previously existing non-Jewish middle class. The wife
of a Leningrad University professor noted, "in all the institutions,
only workers and Israelites are admitted; the life of the intelligentsia
is very hard" (p. 243). Even at the end of the 1930s, prior to the
Russification that accompanied World War II, "the Russian Federationwas
still doing penance for its imperial past while also serving as an example
of an ethnicity- free society" (p. 276). While all other nationalities,
including Jews, were allowed and encouraged to keep their ethnic identities,
the revolution remained an anti-majoritarian movement.
-
- The difference from the Soviet Union may well be that
in white- minority America it will not be workers and Israelites who are
favored, but non-whites and Israelites. Whites may dream that they are
entering the post-racial utopia imagined by their erstwhile intellectual
superiors. But it is quite possible that they are entering into a racial
dystopia of unimaginable cruelty in which whites will be systematically
excluded in favor of the new elites recruited from the soon-to-be majority.
It's happened before.
