OUR SURVIVAL AS A PEOPLE
The recent shooting of
Trayvon Martin by “White Hispanic” George Zimmerman in Sanford, Florida,
has been treated as we might expect by the mainstream media, the President, the
Attorney General, and virtually the entire ruling Establishment. Simply put, it
is yet another exercise in White bashing and White guilt manipulation. But this
time around, the effects are not what the elites expected. I have witnessed
more anger and frustration from White Southerners, including the young, than I
ever expected they could muster. And I am happy to see it because the other
option is to be silent and be eventually dispossessed.
How should Whites—Southerners
and others--fight back? First, they must understand and embrace certain
heretofore uncomfortable facts. Fundamentally speaking, America is
either a Proposition Nation based on the Universal Rights of Man and the creed
that all men are created equal or it is a Kith and Kin, Blood and Soil nation
given only to the Posterity of those who founded it. Historically, it must be
one or the other—it cannot be both nor can it be something else.
To affirm the former
view is acceptable in polite 21st century society; to embrace the
latter is racism, white nationalism, etc, etc. But you get the point. Well, I’m
a proud White Southerner, descended from Confederates, so you can count me in
the latter category, and if you’re really a hard right conservative, that’s
where you’ll be, too. Now, let’s make our argument.
When God foiled the
building of the Tower of Babel on the plains of Shinar he did so in order that
the people might be scattered into separate nations and no longer be one people
with one language (Genesis 11:1-9). In the previous chapter, we are told that
the sons of Noah--Shem, Ham, and Japheth--and their descendants would occupy
specified parts of the earth. For example, we read in Genesis 10: 5 regarding
the sons of Japheth: "By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided into
their lands, everyone after his tongue, after their families, in their
nations." It is clear, then, that God intended men to live separately with
their own languages, kith and kin, and nations. Therefore, nations (i.e.
peoples) have a Biblical mandate to exist and thereby to protect their
interests from those who would destroy them either by war or more subtle means.
Because of a
resurgence of godless multiculturalism and universalism (the new Tower of Babel), white Western Christians are
threatened with extinction as a separate and identifiable people because of
their own weakness and lack of Biblical understanding about the God-ordained
principles of nationhood. While all other "nations" (i.e. groups
based on race and ethnicity and "blood and soil") are encouraged to
preserve themselves and their cultures, white Christians in the West (the
descendants of Japheth) are told that we must give up everything we have in
order to placate those different from ourselves and who bear some alleged
grievance toward us (i.e. slavery, "racism," hatred, etc.) Sadly, it
is often "Christian" ministers who lead the charge toward
multiculturalism, pluralism, and universalism in the name of God himself. But
they are false teachers.
By the grace of God,
the philosophies and institutions of Christian liberty are the creations of
Western European whites. In this age of rabid "political
correctness," this salient truth is buried beneath the monumental lie that
all men (and hence all cultures and civilizations) are "created
equal." But truth is a stubborn and resilient thing. And the truth is that
for at least the past 400 years, Western Christian (i.e. European-American)
civilization alone has enjoyed the fruits of ordered liberty and abundant
material prosperity. Elsewhere in the world despotism has been the order of the
day. However, let us not boast for the simple reason that God has ordained
things thusly out of His eternal wisdom. The Western world's blessings of the
Gospel, liberty, and prosperity are just that, a blessing. In Acts 16: 6-9,
Paul and Silas were headed for Asia to spread
the Gospel, but the Holy Spirit forbade them to go into that region. Instead,
the Spirit led them, by means of Paul's dream, westward into Macedonia. Thus the Gospel was
forbidden to Asia in that day. Conversely, it
was God's will that it be spread into Europe.
Of this we cannot boast. Rather, we can only thank God that in His providence
He saw fit to bless our ancestors with His word and all that flows from
obedience to it.
Our white
European-American ancestors had no trouble enunciating the obvious truth that
Western Christian civilization was superior to all others. Moreover, they had
no hesitation about defending it, as their God-given patrimony, against those
who would denigrate or destroy it. Just a century ago, our civilization was
still distinguished by a robustness and self-confidence born out of a
realization of the natural superiority of the West and its ways. None but the
most crack-brained utopians believed in social, political, economic, and
cultural equality, nor did they believe in the equality of the races in
intellect and accomplishment. Unfortunately, the present century has witnessed
the old order turned upon its head.
Today, the descendants
of those European-American whites behave as a shamed and defeated people. Not
only do they refuse to proclaim the God-ordained superiority of their own
civilization and its venerable institutions; they also refuse to defend the
very ethnic and racial particularities that gave form and definition to that
civilization. "White" has become a dirty word, and few whites can
even use the term now without wincing and casting furtive glances to and fro.
But to deny one's identity in such a manner is to dishonor the God who made us
what we are and who separated us from the other races for His own eternal
purposes. While blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and other groups revel in their
natural peculiarities, whites will not dare even admit that race is one of the
primary factors that determine who we are and what we create on this earth.
This is a simple and fundamental fact of God's creation. We are who we are
simply because He has commanded it.
Because Christian
liberty has been the product of Western civilization, should the white stock of
Europe and American disappear through racial
amalgamation or outright genocide, then both liberty and civilization as we
have come to know them will cease to exist. As whites have lost the will to
defend their inheritance, there has been a corresponding increase in the
willingness of the colored races to destroy Western Christian civilization and
replace it with their own vision of the "good society." That vision,
or nightmare, as it were, will have no truck with the rule of law, equity, or
fairness. It will be predicated on the "intimidation factor"--the
employment of brute force by the strong against the weak. In short, it will be
"payback time" for the alleged mistreatment that
minorities-cum-majorities have suffered at the hands of the White Devils.
Why do white
Americans, in particular those who can trace their lineage to the founding
stock, lack the backbone to stand for the civilization given them by their
forebears? A major reason is collective guilt. The white man first came into
widespread contact with the darker races through the institution of slavery in
the seventeenth century. Slavery (and not "man stealing") was
successfully defended from a Biblical standpoint through the War for Southern Independence and beyond, but after the South's
defeat and subsequent "reconstruction" the institution's legitimacy
was systematically undermined in the name of "equality" and
misappropriated "Christian ethics." During the first half of the
twentieth century, Communists in Europe and America seized on the issues of
"equality," "racism," and "white guilt" and began
to use them as battering rams to knock down the gates of the old social,
political, and economic order in the West. Moreover, the bogus work of leftist
intellectuals such as Franz Boas and Margaret Mead told white Europeans and
Americans that all cultures were basically equal (i.e. what became known as
"cultural relativism").
Slavery and
"racism" (the latter term was coined by the Communists), then, became
instruments wielded by the left to destroy the very civilization, which allowed
them the freedom and leisure to formulate and articulate their ideas in the
first place. This nihilistic predilection shared by all leftists appears
paradoxical at first glance; however, upon closer inspection it reveals a
deep-seated hatred of God-given order and rationality, hallmarks of the white
Western world. The leftist embrace of the antithesis of ordered Christian
liberty manifested itself early on in a fascination with the primitiveness of
non-white, non-Christian peoples and cultures. It was the
"Enlightenment" philosophes in France who first became enamored with
the idea of the "noble savage" who had not been corrupted by the vile
civilization of the West.
The leftists' success
in introducing the concept of "racism" into the American social and
political lexicon has led today to increasingly shrill demands from black
leaders for set-asides, affirmative action, reparations, and other sorts of
race-specific preferential treatment. This is clearly a policy of economic
blackmail intended to transfer yet more wealth from whites to blacks. It also
is another means of eliciting from whites an admission of guilt in order than
their civilization might be further discredited. But instead of whites owing
blacks reparations for slavery and its alleged attendant ills, for instance,
blacks in reality owe white America (especially the South) a debt that likely
will be neither acknowledged nor paid. Sold into slavery by their own people
(or by the Muslims whom many blacks hold in such high regard today), Africans
were transported out of a heathen and idolatrous continent and set down in the
most Christian section of America--the South. There they were instructed in the
Christian religion of their masters, given cradle-to-grave security, and
generally treated quite humanely. In short, they were given a chance to live in
an advanced civilization and have prospered mightily because of it. All one has
to do is contrast the lot of today’s black Americans with that of his brethren
back in Africa to see the truthfulness of this assertion.
The South's military
defeat in 1865 and the subsequent sudden emancipation of three and one-half
million slaves was a disaster for whites and blacks alike. Former slaves, who
found themselves on top in many areas of the Reconstruction-era South,
generally proved unfit to hold positions of authority. Spurred on by the
Radical Republican leaders, these black legislators and newly enlisted soldiers
earned the enmity of disenfranchised whites who saw the destruction of their
society at hand. Therefore, once the Union military occupation forces withdrew
from the South in 1876, white Southerners immediately began to reassert their
authority over a war-ravaged society. During the period from 1865-77, whites in
the South had seen enough of Negro rule to understand that their [i.e. white] civilization
would perish should blacks be given the vote and thus be permitted to control
the political system.
Whereas whites and
blacks in the antebellum South had lived and worked together in close
proximity, once the situation changed at the end of the war (especially with
the passage of the Reconstruction amendments) some new arrangement became
necessary if whites were to preserve their society. Few Southerners of the late
nineteenth century believed that whites and blacks could live together in a state
of equality without serious social consequences for both races. Therefore,
postbellum Southern blacks were disenfranchised and "Jim Crow" laws
resulted in a segregated South (today "Jim Crow" has been replaced by
what might be called "Jim Snow" policies that discriminate against
whites). Through these measures white Southerners were able to exert some
control over a still primitive black population. Nonetheless, the “black
community" of the late nineteenth century began to experience problems largely
absent prior to 1865: black-on-black crime, illegitimacy, abject poverty,
disease, and family disintegration, among others. Despite trillions spent on
welfare and other programs, these problems--and many others--still plague the
"black community" in the present day. Clearly there is an
ever-present problem here that emancipation and money did not solve.
Today, it is
fashionable for black leaders and their white liberal allies to blame slavery
and "racism" for the continuing ills that beset the "black community."
These ills were not eradicated by the "Civil Rights" revolution, and
now black failure must have a fresh excuse: institutional "racism."
To the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons, Barack Obamas and Eric Holders of the
world the only remedy is the destruction of white Western civilization in which
blacks and other minority victim groups cannot compete and its replacement with
a society based on the principles and mores (usually some form of Marxism) of
dark-skinned peoples. This is why whites (beginning with Southerners, the
easiest targets) and their way of life must be demonized and then eradicated.
Blacks and other minorities claim they simply cannot get a fair shake in the
white man's world.
The cold facts of
history tell us that blacks have never created anything approximating a
civilization in the Western sense of the term. Indeed, history gives the lie to
the bogus claims of the Afro-centrists who hail Mother Africa as the cradle of
a glorious civilization that the white man stole and made his own. What
progress and light that did shine on the Dark Continent
came only as a result of nineteenth-century European colonialism. Once those
colonial regimes were dismantled after World War Two, Africa
began a steady descent once again into decadence. One need only look at Zimbabwe (the former prosperous and orderly
country of Rhodesia) and
Nelson Mandela's South
Africa to see the deleterious effects of
white disestablishment and black rule. Again, it is a cold and hard fact that
if white Christian European-Americans should lose control over the North
American continent to non-white minorities, then it will cease to be the
civilized place we have known for the past several hundred years. As blacks and
other minorities (e.g. Hispanics in the American Southwest) have gained
political control over towns and cities, the decline in the quality of life for
whites has become precipitous. Whites have quietly deserted the very places
their forefathers built rather than stay and be subjected to the crime and
disorder that frequently comes with minority rule. Especially intolerable is
the never-reported epidemic of black-on-white violent crime. Whites, then, do
not leave because they are "racists" (whatever that means), but
because they fear for their lives and property in an unfamiliar and
inhospitable environment. They have become cultural outsiders.
By inflating the moral
worth of non-white cultures while at the same time diminishing the stature of
white Western civilization, the left has succeeded in lowering the cultural
aspirations of the white man. Why listen to Mozart when you can have Rap?
Today, because of the influence of the MTV-Hollywood nexus, it is the epitome
of "cool" among young whites to act like blacks or other minorities.
Baggy pants, backward-turned caps, Rap music, sexual license, all are
manifestations of this descent to the lowest cultural common denominator. And
stemming naturally from this sad state of affairs is not a sense of cultural
equality but of cultural superiority--non-white over white. It is then but a
short series of steps from white guilt over slavery and "racism," to
equality, to multiculturalism and diversity, to hate crimes and hate speech, to
the ultimate compromise of racial (i.e. national) extinction through miscegenation.
At that point (which we are approaching rapidly in the early 21st
century) the old European-American Christian civilization will be ready for the
dustbin of history.
The appeal of
non-white-dominated popular culture (especially sports and entertainment)
combined with low white birth rates and massive Third
World immigration threatens to engulf whites both culturally and
genetically. What will happen when America is no longer a "white
Christian nation?" Already we have seen that the "Civil Rights"
revolution of the 1950s and 1960s (the Second Reconstruction) was more about
special privileges for blacks and other minorities than about
"equality." Moreover, guilt-ridden whites have acquiesced to a
campaign of silence about the epidemic of black-on-white violent crime (the
media's dirty little secret that never gets reported). It is an open secret
today that many black and Hispanic leaders are calling on their followers to
"get even" with Whitey for perceived past injustices. For proof, I
give you the current “Revenge for Trayvon” campaign egged on by the President
and the Justice Department.
There are, however,
some blacks who see the truth and are willing to speak it. One is syndicated
columnist and George
Mason University
economist Walter Williams, who opined that the antebellum South was absolutely
right to defend its largely Anglo-Celtic civilization from the machinations of
Yankee Abolitionist meddlers. Then there is the late Elizabeth Wright, whose
views undoubtedly shook liberal egalitarians to their very core. Wright noted,
"I am not fooled by the 'diversity' folk into believing that the
institutions of this society will be preserved and honored by those who happen
to share my gene pool. . . . The multicultural ideologues . . . make it clear
that they view these institutions with contempt. They are working for nothing
less than total control. . . ."
Wright indeed pegged
the multicultural egalitarians correctly. Raw power is their one and only end,
and they will use any means necessary to obtain it. And when they do, white
European-Americans will be their first target. Then we will understand what
"equality" really means. Wright believed that "when these people
[i.e. blacks and other minorities] come to power, their major aim will be to
institute their 'enlightenment' policies in all quarters of society. . . . I
have heard them refer to liberties such as freedom of speech as no more than .
. . 'jive ass claptrap' . . ." She continued: "I predict that, once
in power, they will actually create laws to impose interracial unions, in order
to finally bring about the 'raceless' dream society. . . . He . . . who insists
on union with his own kind will be dubbed an intractable racist and sent off
for further re-education."
It goes without saying
that few whites today would have the intestinal fortitude to say what Elizabeth
Wright said, and that is precisely the problem. Even in the benighted and
"racist" South, most whites will no longer speak and act in their own
interests. However, the situation in Dixie, as
bad as it is (especially in the big cities, yuppie suburbs, and wimpy
churches), is much better than elsewhere. If a spirited defense of white,
Western, Christian civilization is to be mounted on these shores, it will be in
the South among that remnant of proud Anglo-Celts who remember the glories of
their past. As likely as not, the South will find it necessary to break away
from a decrepit Union that has already
succumbed to the poison of multiculturalism and then form a new polity
dominated by the mores and institutions of our own civilization.
Once again, Elizabeth
Wright (and don't you feel ashamed that a black woman dared do our talking for
us?) seemed to understand our predicament better than most whites themselves.
She saw "no deep-seated, heartfelt opposition to this trend [i.e.
multiculturalism] except among white 'Southrons.' Other types of conservatives
talk tough until an epithet is hurled their way. Then they fold."
Undoubtedly she made reference here to the Republican Party. Wright concluded
her remarkable essay with a call to arms for white Southerners: "Who is
most likely to fight the hardest to maintain and conserve this extraordinary
experiment in freedom. . . ? Who else but the actual descendants of those
Founders, that's who. That means you, white Southrons. Once you lay down the
sword, that will be the end of resistance. . . . I view the battle as one that
can only be accomplished by whites. . . . I would think that most whites would
want to be among the last who would destroy that which came out of the genius
of their ancestors. So, if a 'white' South would guarantee the preservation of
those institutions . . . then let's have a White South."
Wright's clarion call
was refreshing indeed. But it is white Southerners themselves who must muster the
courage to act and act soon. Demographers predict that whites will be a
minority in this country by 2040 (this is already true in California and several other States). If we
are not willing to fight to preserve that glorious heritage bequeathed us by men
of honor, genius, and principle, then we truly deserve the disinheritance that
will befall us within the next half century. We are sowing the wind because of
our inaction regarding immigration and multiculturalism. We will likely reap
the whirlwind.
