Rassisme
onder die Vergrootglas
Hierdie is 'n uiters
interessante onderwerp, maar nie soseer a.g.v. die feitelike en wetenskaplike
debatte oor die houdbaarheid van beskikbare getuienis nie. Lg. word veral deur
die Genetika (genewetenskap oorheers).
Deesdae dien die term "rassisme" 'n ander
doel, aangesien dit in "Polities-Korrekte"-taal heeltemal buite die feitelike en
woordeboekbetekenis om gebruik word as 'n eensydige moralistiese begrip. Dit
dien nl. as 'n handige rooi vlag om enige afwyking deur witmense van die ideologie van globalistiese mu(l)tikulturalisme uit te
wys. So is enige handeling (of uitspraak) vervolgbaar deur die Orwelliaanse gedagte-polisie en
haatspraak-tollenaars.
Wat pynlik na aan ons vel lê, is die feit dat
nie-Kaukasiers blykbaar mmuuun is teen enige oortreding van rassisme. Aanklagtes
van rassisme geld oënskynlik slegs teen blankes en dit verklap 'n moralisme so
eensydig dat dit absurd is. Ons voel dit egter nie slegs in Suid-Afrika aan ons
bas nie, maar geld elders in die Westerse wêreld ook. 'n Yank het dit onlangs
so gestel:
Wanneer
Indiane hul identiteit vier, word dit kultuur genoem.
Wanneer Afrikane hul identiteit vier, word dit trots genoem.
Wanneer Jode hul identiteit vier, word dit geskiedenis genoem.
Wanneer Kaukasiërs hul identiteit vier, word
dit rassisme genoem!"
Vir goeie balans kan Prof. W.P. Esterhuyse se Afskeid van Apartheid
(1981) gelees word. Die werklikheid van ons ervaringswêreld bevestig die
loutere snert wat hierdie boek bevat. Dit bevestig egter ook hoe daar lustig in
die ou SA meegedoen is aan die leuenverkopery oor die voordele van 'n
multikulturalistiese (=swart bevoordelings-) ideologie. Indien dieselfde
voorskrifte deur Esterhuyse toegepas word op die rasgebaseerde praktyke van die
NSA, is daar net een gevolgtrekking: blatante rassisme is steeds lewend en word
vanuit Pretoria teen enige witmens wat weier om 'n "useful idiot" te wees,
ingespan.
Maar sovele werke weerspreek die blinde vooroordele wat in bg. werk vervat
is. Een
daarvan kom uit Afrika self, met die titel: Captalist
Nigger deur Chika Onyeani.
Aangesien sommige van hierdie besondere leersame
artikels aan die lang kant is, word slegs die laaste twee volledig opgeneem. Die
ander word voorsien van internetskakels wat verder opgevolg kan word.
FEIT of VOOROORDEEL?
Op 5 April 1652 was die volgende waar van Suid-Afrika:
"This was a land
without a wheel, a lamp, a match to light a fire, without a book, a pencil or a pen,
without a blanket. None could make a button, or a buttonhole to fasten his skins about him
in the wind. Superstition, pestilence and famine stalked the land and ruled mens
lives. War and raiding were unending. Life was very cheap". A. T. Culwick
Op 6 April daardie jaar het Jan van Riebeeck aan die Kaap geland met die Reyger,
Drommedaris en De Goede Hoop. En toe verander alles........... !!!!
Dis definitief 'n feit.
'n Interessante vraag wat hieruit na vore kom, is of diegene wat altyd so
steen en been kla oor die booshede van die Westerse beskawing, sou instem om die
klok terug te draai en van elke voordeel van die Westerse beskawing (van
hospitale, grondwetlike regering, paaienetwerk, moderne industrie,
vervoermiddels, beskermingsmeganismes, bankwese, organisasiekundigheid, ens. ens.)
afstand te doen?

What
Is Racism? by Dr. William L. Pierce
TODAY LET'S TALK about
"racism" and related matters. There's hardly a subject the average
White person is more uptight about, hardly a subject that makes him more
uncomfortable. Fifty or 60 years ago people were really uptight about sex. Very
few people could talk about it honestly and openly and comfortably. It
embarrassed them. Whenever the subject came up people used all sorts of
euphemisms and evasions to avoid having to mention things or use words that made
them squirm and blush, things that they just couldn't deal with
straightforwardly. In polite conversation one could not even use the word leg in
talking about a woman, for example. It was too risqué, bordering on the
pornographic, because of the mental associations it evoked.
Why was that? Why did talking about sex make us uncomfortable? Well, of course,
it was because sex was a taboo subject. There were a lot of social and religious
prohibitions and restrictions associated with sex, and these prohibitions
conflicted with our natural urges. We were taught that following these natural
urges was sinful, and that terrible things would happen to us if we did. The
result was that we felt guilty about our natural urges. To avoid the very
unpleasant feeling of guilt, we tried to avoid the subject of sex. We swept it
under the rug and tried not to think about it.

A Libertarian Philosopher Deconstructs a Modern Superstition
by Dr. Max Hocutt
Excerpt: "Nearly
a quarter century passed between the publication of the three essays in
physical anthropology that I have just criticized and the publication of
The Great Human Diasporas by the population biologist Luigi Luca
Cavalli-Sforza and his son Francesco (1995). Yet this recent book offers
few new arguments. Instead, it repeats the old ones.
"The authors begin the chapter 'Race and Racism' by mentioning the
evil of racism and by condemning research that they regard as racist. They
observe that race is often confused with nation or culture and complain
that, given the looseness of the concept, no one can say how many races
exist. They attribute the difficulty of making a count to the fact that
many genetically related features of human beings vary continuously,
leaving no breaks that provide clear demarcations between races. . . .
"[T]he Cavalli-Sforzas go on to conclude, 'The idea of race in the
human species serves no purpose' (237). With the usual reflex, they
attribute belief in race to the Nazi myth of racial purity and to an
irrational but innate tribalism. They then cite the mistreatment of
Pygmies by their larger and more aggressive neighbors as a regrettable
example of our human tendency to divide the world up into them and us.
"Clearly, there is nothing new here, just the now-familiar arguments:
that a belief in racial distinctions is wrong because it encourages
racism; that no distinctions exist between races because the distinctions
that do exist are not sharp and clear; that although racial differences
may be real, it would be better to describe them as differences between
'peoples'; that there are no races because there are no pure races; and so
on. Having already refuted these arguments—or, rather, having shown how
they refute themselves—I will not go over them again."

What
is Racism? Alain de Benoist
(38 bladsye Pdf-formaat)
Fighting racism requires
knowing what it is — not an easy task. Today the word "racism" has
so many contradictory meanings that it takes on the aura of a myth and
is, therefore, difficult to define. The followingill attempt to define racist
ideology, independently of any sociological considerations.
The first difficulty
arises from the fact that racism is a Schimpfwort: a term with pejorative
connotations, whose very use inevitably tends to be more instrumental than
descriptive. Deploying the adjective "racist" involves using a
powerful epithet. It can be a smear designed to disqualify those at whom the
term is addressed. To call someone a racist, even if the charge is
intellectually dishonest, can be a useful tactic, either in successfully
paralyzing or in casting enough suspicion as to curtails credibility. Such an
approach is commonplace in everyday controversies.
On the international
level, the term can acquire a significance and weight that does not hide its
real nature and purpose.2 Because of a certain affinity, "racism" can
be used as the correlate of a whole series of othererms: fascism, the extreme
Right, anti-Semitism, sexism, etc. Today, the almost ritualistic recitation of
these terms often implies that they are all synonyms and that any one falling
into one of these categories automatically belongs to all of them. The end
result is to reinforce the vagueness of the term and to discourage meaningful
analysis.
Used in the most diverse
senses, the terms "racism" and "racist" become prepackaged
formulas, generating stereotypes. Antiracists tend to attack racists in
much the same way as racists might go after anyone else. Paradoxically, while
the signifier "racist" is vague, the signified is rigidly fixed. The
charge of having a "racist temperament" follows the same reasoning for
which racists are rightly reproached, i.e., vaguely attributing to an entire
group traits found in some of its members which, as Pierre-André Taguieff has
pointed out, generates another problem: "There is no effective struggle
against racism once one creates a false image of it, forthen antiracism
becomes a mirror image of the racist myth. To treat in a racist way those whom
one is accusing of racist conduct is part and parcel of current antiracism, and
one of its shortcomings. Above all, to fictionalize‘the Other,’ even if he
be racist, is to miss who ‘the Other’ really is, never coming to know
him."

For every coin there are two images pressed on. For every generation there is a
story to preserve and pass on. The new generation is responsible to preserve it,
know it, and follow its principles. But what happens when they forget? When they
forget the purpose of their very existence? This is where Dr. Chika Onyeani's
book comes "in ya face".
It
is a no nonsense hook punch into the realities of the condition of the Africans
in the Diaspora. From the point of abuse the author states, "I am quite
frighten for my people, because I believe that in the next 20 to 50 years, the
Black race would descend further into the abyss of the world's totem economic
pole unless we do something right now. He also states, " The Black race is
a slave - pure and simple - an economic slave"!
What makes this book an important "shake up" is that there are other
authors like Dr. Onyeani, who have presented the facts and nothing but the facts
to the Diaspora. One such author and publisher is Dr. Sam Chekwas. In his best
selling book, " The 100 Steps Necessary For Survival In America For People
Of Color", he states "Many of our youths suspend their individual and
God given power, replacing their own self-reliance with the thought of an
almighty "Big Brother" who will take care of all their needs. They
feel as though they are powerless victims of society. Somehow they have
abandoned, (or just plain forgotten), their long, painful ancestral struggles
for freedom and justice".

Lord of the Rings' GIMLI speaks up for the West
Report; Posted on: 2004-01-07 20:52:23 [ Printer

Editorial by Neil Camberly
Since THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE
RING debuted two years ago, egalitarians around the world have whined
endlessly about the “racist” and “fascist” nature of Peter
Jackson’s THE LORD OF THE RINGS films. With a few exceptions, Jewish
film critics have relentlessly derided each installment of the trilogy as
“simple-minded,” “unimaginative,” and “boring.” In general,
they hate the whole thing. The few young egalitarians that can’t help
marvel at its spectacular cinematographic achievements debate their
co-ideologues in vain. With the final film in theatres and remarkable
pro-White comments made recently by one of the film’s main actors, its
egalitarian defenders-in-denial may as well throw in the towel; the
whiners are right.
The very first film raised the eyebrows of everybody who appreciates the
important role the entertainment media play in subconsciously shaping the
world perception of a vast portion of the global population. Jews and
ideological egalitarians hated to see a group of heroes manage anything
heroic without the help of non-Europeans. They hated even more to see
images of culturally rich communities somehow manage to exist at all, let
alone flourish, without the cultural “enrichment” they claim European
culture needs and luckily receives from Asian and African immigrants. And
they hated most of all to see the features of such immigrants appear in
the film only in the faces and manners of the evil, genetically
pre(mis)disposed Orks and Uruk-Hai hordes. And, as usual, all of this
hatred was manifested in shrieks of ‘racism!’
But the films are “fascist,” too. They hold up beauty as something
inherently good, and ugliness as something inherently bad. Their heroes
are strong men and women of honor, decency and moral character. The films
glorify ethnic collectivism and nationalism, self-sacrifice on behalf of
one’s biological community, and courage in the face of overwhelming odds
and overbearing evil. Like the 20th century's Fascist philosopher-kings,
Tolkein’s Kings spend little time taking votes from their nervous
soldiers and citizens over whether their kingdoms should perish with honor
or perish with each man desperately trying to save his own skin. But most
of all, the films earn their “fascist” credentials by clearly
delineating good and evil in the tradition of Western literature’s great
adventure stories. Sure, Treasure Island’s Long John Silver was a hero
made more interesting by his lack of a few scruples here and there. But
films with the spirit of Jackson’s trilogy have been unarguably the
exception, not the rule, at least since Oliver Stone had us laughing as
Woody Harrelson blasted a sport cyclist off of his bike with a twelve
gauge shotgun for no reason at all. Hollywood does little these days to
conceal its glorification of absolute depravity, even if that wasn’t
Stone’s intention.
But Peter Jackson is no Hollywood director, and he avoided the real
pressure to ‘diversify’ his second and third films of the trilogy by
filming all three simultaneously. Egalitarians weren’t very pleased with
George Lucas’ 1977 film STAR WARS, for many of the same reasons, and it
was no small inconvenience to Lucas that he was pressured to cast Colt 45
Malt Liquor spokesman Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian in THE EMPIRE
STRIKES BACK. Still, considering the nature of the film industry of late,
one can only rightly assume that heavy pressure to multiracialize LOTR was
put on Peter Jackson before he even began filming. Perhaps he had no
pro-Western, ideological motives at all. Perhaps he merely convincingly
argued that black Elf warriors would have been even more cheesy and
‘90s’ than that goofy black Vulcan they have on one of the myriad new
child-minded STAR TREK shows.
Or perhaps not. The final film, an utterly surreal masterpiece, sent a
significant message by concluding with a battle whose heroes were exhorted
to fight with a line Peter Jackson could have easily left out of
Aragorn’s script: "By all that we hold dear on this Earth I bid you
stand, men of the West!" Controversy has ensued. It is all over the
net. And now it is exacerbated by a development that gives the strongest
hint yet that LOTR may indeed be a trilogy that consciously
expresses the spirit of our people.
From the BNP’s Steve Blake, we get news that John Rhys-Davies, the
talented character actor who played the axe-wielding Dwarf Gimli,
(Rhys-Davies is actually over 6 feet tall, as he appears in RAIDERS OF THE
LOST ARK), used the Hollywood premier of THE RETURN OF THE KING to express
some views that undoubtedly left many of his Hollywood colleagues (but
certainly not Mel Gibson) shocked and terrified.
The following quotes do more than shed light on the attitudes of those
behind the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy. That they were made with confidence
to the senior enemies of our civilization on their most secure territory
illustrates a most important truth we must understand at this point: The
postwar age of Jewish media monopoly is OVER. Prior to a few years ago,
they were able to erode our morale and sap our strength by ignoring us or
painting us as mere freaks to be trotted out on talk shows. The final
nails have been hammered into the coffin of this horribly effective weapon
they had against us.
The tide is turning. Imagine the following words emanating from Hollywood
ten years ago. It would have been unthinkable:
“There is a demographic catastrophe happening in Europe that nobody
wants to talk about, that we dare not bring up because we are so cagey
about not offending people racially.
“You do realize that in this town (Hollywood), what I've been saying is
rather like, sort of - oh well, I can't find a comparable blasphemy...
“But we've got to get a bit serious. What is unconscionable is that too
many of your fellow journalists do not understand how precarious Western
civilization is and what a joy it is. From it, we get real democracy. From
it, we get the sort of intellectual tolerance that allows me to propound
something that may be completely alien to you around this table....
"I'm burying my career so substantially in these interviews that it's
painful. But I think that there are some questions that demand honest
answers.
"I think that Tolkien says that some generations will be challenged.
And if they do not rise to meet that challenge, they will lose their
civilization. That does have a real resonance with me.”
It has a resonance with the vast, landslide majority of White people all
over the world. That’s why they love Peter Jackson’s films, and
that’s one of the reasons we are going to win.

What
is Racism? Thomas Jackson
There
is surely no nation in the world that holds "racism" in greater horror
than does the United States. Compared to other kinds of offences, it is thought
to be somehow more reprehensible. The press and public have become so used to
tales of murder, rape, robbery, and arson, that any but the most spectacular
crimes are shrugged off as part of the inevitable texture of American life.
"Racism" is never shrugged off. For example, when a white Georgetown
Law School student reported earlier this year that black students are not as
qualified as white students, it set off a booming, national controversy about
"racism." If the student had merely murdered someone he would have
attracted far less attention and criticism.
Racism is, indeed, the national obsession. Universities are
on full alert for it, newspapers and politicians denounce it, churches preach
against it, America is said to be racked with it, but just what *is* racism?
Dictionaries are not much help
in understanding what is meant by the word. They usually define it as the belief
that one's own ethnic stock is superior to others, or as the belief that culture
and behavior are rooted in race. When Americans speak of racism they mean a
great deal more than this. Nevertheless, the dictionary definition of racism is
a clue to understanding what Americans *do* mean. A peculiarly American meaning
derives from the current dogma that all ethnic stocks are equal. Despite clear
evidence to the contrary, all races have been declared to be equally talented
and hard- working, and anyone who questions the dogma is thought to be not
merely wrong but evil.
The dogma has logical consequences that are profoundly
important. If blacks, for example, are equal to whites in every way, what
accounts for their poverty, criminality, and dissipation? Since any theory of
racial differences has been outlawed, the only possible explanation for black
failure is white racism. And since blacks are markedly poor, crime-prone, and
dissipated, America must be racked with pervasive racism. Nothing else could be
keeping them in such an abject state.
All public discourse on race today is locked into this rigid
logic. Any explanation for black failure that does not depend on white
wickedness threatens to veer off into the forbidden territory of racial
differences. Thus, even if today's whites can find in their hearts no desire to
oppress blacks, yesterday's whites must have oppressed them. If whites do not
consciously oppress blacks, they must oppress them Unconsciously. If no
obviously racist individuals can be identified, then *institutions* must be
racist. Or, since blacks are failing so terribly in America, there simply must
be millions of white people we do not know about, who are working day and night
to keep blacks in misery. The dogma of racial equality leaves no room for an
explanation of black failure that is not, in some fashion, an indictment of
white people.
The logical consequences of this are clear. Since we are
required to believe that the only explanation for non-white failure is white
racism, every time a non-white is poor, commits a crime, goes on welfare, or
takes drugs, white society stands accused of yet another act of racism. All
failure or misbehavior by non-whites is standing proof that white society is
riddled with hatred and bigotry. For precisely so long as non-whites fail to
succeed in life at exactly the same level as whites, whites will be, by
definition, thwarting and oppressing them. This obligatory pattern of thinking
leads to strange conclusions. First of all, racism is a sin that is thought to
be committed almost exclusively by white people. Indeed, a black congressman
from Chicago, Gus Savage, and Coleman Young, the black mayor of Detroit, have
argued that only white people *can* be racist. Likewise, in 1987, the
affirmative action officer of the State Insurance Fund of New York issued a
company pamphlet in which she explained that *all* whites are racist and that
*only* whites can be racist. How else could the plight of blacks be explained
without flirting with the possibility of racial inequality
Although some blacks and liberal whites concede that
non-whites can, perhaps, be racist, they invariably add that non-whites have
been forced into it as self-defence because of centuries of white oppression.
What appears to be non-white racism is so understandable and forgivable that it
hardly deserves the name. Thus, whether or not an act is called racism depends
on the race of the racist. What would surely be called racism when done by
whites is thought to be normal when done by anyone else. The reverse is also
true.
Examples of this sort of double standard are so common, it is
almost tedious to list them: When a white man kills a black man and uses the
word "nigger" while doing so, there is an enormous media uproar and
the nation beats its collective breast; when members of the black Yahweh cult
carry out ritual murders of random whites, the media are silent (see AR of
March, 1991). College campuses forbid pejorative statements about non-whites as
"racist," but ignore scurrilous attacks on whites.
At election time, if 60 percent of the white voters vote for
a white candidate, and 95 percent of the black voters vote for the black
opponent, it is white who are accused of racial bias. There are 107
"historically black" colleges, whose fundamental blackness must be
preserved in the name of diversity, but all historically white colleges must be
forcibly integrated in the name of... the same thing. To resist would be racist.
"Black pride" is said to be a wonderful and worthy
thing, but anything that could be construed as an expression of white pride is a
form of hatred. It is perfectly natural for third-world immigrants to expect
school instruction and driver's tests in their own languages, whereas for native
Americans to ask them to learn English is racist.
Blatant anti-white prejudice, in the form of affirmative
action, is now the law of the land. Anything remotely like affirmative action,
if practiced in favor of whites, would be attacked as despicable favoritism.
All across the country, black, Hispanic, and Asian clubs and
caucuses are thought to be fine expressions of ethnic solidarity, but any club
or association expressly for whites is by definition racist. The National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) campaigns openly for
black advantage but is a respected "civil rights" organization. The
National Association for the Advancement of White People (NAAWP) campaigns
merely for equal treatment of all races, but is said to be viciously racist.
At a few college campuses, students opposed to affirmative
action have set up student unions for whites, analogous to those for blacks,
Hispanics, etc, and have been roundly condemned as racists. Recently, when the
white students at Lowell High School in San Francisco found themselves to be a
minority, they asked for a racially exclusive club like the ones that non-
whites have. They were turned down in horror. Indeed, in America today, any club
not specifically formed to be a white enclave but whose members simply happen
all to be white is branded as racist.
Today, one of the favorite slogans that define the asymmetric
quality of American racism is "celebration of diversity." It has begun
to dawn on a few people that "diversity" is always achieved at the
expense of whites (and sometimes men), and never the other way around. No one
proposes that Howard University be made more diverse by admitting whites,
Hispanics, or Asians. No one ever suggests that National Hispanic University in
San Jose (CA) would benefit from the diversity of having non-Hispanics on
campus. No one suggests that the Black Congressional Caucus or the executive
ranks of the NAACP or the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Educational Fund
suffer from a lack of diversity. Somehow, it is perfectly legitimate for them to
celebrate *homogeneity*. And yet any all-white group - a company, a town, a
school, a club, a neighborhood - is thought to suffer from a crippling lack of
diversity that must be remedied as quickly as possible. Only when whites have
been reduced to a minority has "diversity" been achieved.
Let us put it bluntly: To "celebrate" or
"embrace" diversity, as we are so often asked to do, is no different
from *deploring an excess of whites.* In fact, the entire nation is thought to
suffer from an excess of whites. Our current immigration policies are structured
so that approximately 90 percent of our annual 800,000 legal immigrants are
non-white. The several million illegal immigrants that enter the country every
year are virtually all non-white. It would be racist not to be grateful for this
laudable contribution to "diversity." It is, of course, only white
nations that are called upon to practice this kind of "diversity." It
is almost criminal to imagine a nation of any other race countenancing blatant
dispossession of this kind.
What if the United States were pouring its poorest, least
educated citizens across the border into Mexico? Could anyone be fooled into
thinking that Mexico was being "culturally enriched?" What if the
state of Chihuahua were losing its majority population to poor whites who
demanded that schools be taught in English, who insisted on celebrating the
Fourth of July, who demanded the right to vote even if they weren't citizens,
who clamored for "affirmative action" in jobs and schooling?
Would Mexico - or any other non-white nation - tolerate this
kind of cultural and demographic depredation? Of course not. Yet white Americans
are supposed to look upon the flood of Hispanics and Asians entering their
country as a priceless cultural gift. They are supposed to "celebrate"
their own loss of influence, their own dwindling numbers, their own
dispossession, for to do otherwise would be hopelessly racist.
There is another curious asymmetry about American racism.
When non- whites advance their own racial purposes, no one ever accuses them of
"hating" another group. Blacks can join "civil rights"
groups and Hispanics can be activists without fear of being branded as bigots
and hate mongers. They can agitate openly for racial preferences that can come
only at the expense of whites. They can demand preferential treatment of all
kinds without anyone ever suggesting that they are "anti-white."
Whites, on the other hand, need only express their opposition
to affirmative action to be called haters. They need only subject racial
policies that are clearly prejudicial to themselves to be called racists. Should
they actually go so far as to say that they prefer the company of their own
kind, that they wish to be left alone to enjoy the fruits of their European
heritage, they are irredeemably wicked and hateful.
Here, then is the final, baffling inconsistency about
American race relations. All non-whites are allowed to prefer the company of
their own kind, to think of themselves as groups with interests distinct from
those of the whole, and to work openly for group advantage. None of this is
thought to be racist. At the same time, *whites* must *also* champion the racial
interests of non-whites. They must sacrifice their own future on the altar of
"diversity" and cooperate in their own dispossession. They are to
encourage, even to subsidize, the displacement of a European people and culture
by alien peoples and cultures. To put it in the simplest possible terms, white
people are cheerfully to slaughter their own society, to commit racial and
cultural suicide. To refuse to do so would be racism.
Of course, the entire non-white enterprise in the United
States is perfectly natural and healthy. Nothing could be more natural than to
love one's people and to hope that it should flourish. Filipinos and El
Salvadorans are doubtless astonished to discover that simply by setting foot in
the United States they are entitled to affirmative action preferences over
native-born whites, but can they be blamed for accepting them? Is it surprising
that they should want their languages, their cultures, their brothers and
sisters to take possession and put their mark indelibly on the land? If the
once-great people of a once-great nation is bent upon self-destruction and is
prepared to hand over land and power to whomever shows up and asks for it, why
should Mexicans and Cambodians complain?
No, it is the white enterprise in the United States that is
unnatural, unhealthy, and without historical precedent. Whites have let
themselves be convinced that it is racist merely to object to dispossession,
much less to work for their own interests. Never in the history of the world has
a dominant people thrown open the gates to strangers, and poured out its wealth
to aliens. Never before has a people been fooled into thinking that there was
virtue or nobility in surrendering its heritage, and giving away to others its
place in history. Of all the races in America, only whites have been tricked
into thinking that a preference for one's own kind is racism. Only whites are
ever told that a love for their own people is somehow "hatred" of
others. All healthy people prefer the company of their own kind, and it has
nothing to do with hatred. All men love their families more than their
neighbors, but this does not mean that they hate their neighbors. Whites who
love their racial family need bear no ill will towards non-whites. They only
wish to be left alone to participate in the unfolding of their racial and
cultural destinies.
What whites
in America are being asked to do is therefore utterly unnatural. They are being
asked to devote themselves to the interests of other races and to ignore the
interests of their own. This is like asking a man to forsake his own children
and love the children of his neighbors, since to do otherwise would be
"racist."
What then, is
"racism?" It is considerably more than any dictionary is likely to
say. It is any opposition by whites to official policies of racial preference
for non-whites. It is any preference by whites for their own people and culture.
It is any resistance by whites to the idea of becoming a minority people. It is
any unwillingness to be pushed aside. It is, in short, any of the normal
aspirations of people-hood that have defined nations since the beginning of
history - but only so long as the aspirations are those of whites.
