White nationalism
From Metapedia
White nationalism advocates a racial definition of national identity, as opposed to multiculturalism. The contemporary movement is a reaction to a perceived decline in white demographics, politics and culture.[1] According to Samuel Francis, it is "a movement that rejects equality as an ideal and insists on an enduring core of human nature transmitted by heredity."[2]
Supporters see themselves defending the legitimate civil rights of white people against society's racial double standards.[3] Jared Taylor, another key writer in the movement, says their racial views were held by mainstream American leaders before the 1950s.[4]
According to Samuel Huntington, the modern movement is increasingly cultured, intellectual and academically-trained.[5] Rather than espouse violence, they use statistics and social science data to argue for a self-conscious white identity.[6] They say a natural hierarchy should triumph over the "false promise of egalitarianism"[7] - and that the downfall of white dominance spells doom for representative government, the rule of law and freedom of speech.
Supporters say they stand for racial self-preservation and claim culture itself is a product of race.[8] As a result, according to Huntington, they say the demographic shift in the US towards non-whites brings a new culture that is intellectually and morally inferior.[9] With it comes affirmative action, immigrant ghettos and declining educational standards.[10] By challenging established policy on immigration, civil rights and racial integration, they seek to build bridges with moderately conservative white citizens.

[edit] Development
White nationalism has a long tradition in English-speaking countries. According to one view, it is a product of the modern centralised state's emergence in the West, like all nationalisms.[11] The term originated as a self-description by some groups, primarily in the United States, to describe their belief in a racially defined collective identity of white or Caucasian people. In the past so-called xenophobic ethnic policies may be seen as congruent to white nationalism.
By the 1830s, the Declaration of Independence was widely seen as a manifesto for white freedom and white separatism in a white nation. In the 19th and early 20th century racial definitions of the American nation were common, resulting in race-specific immigration restrictions, such as the Chinese Exclusion Act. The 1915 film Birth of a Nation was an allegorical invocation of white nationalism, for example.
Also, the 'White Australia' ideal was semi-official policy in Australia for many decades. In South Africa, it was championed by the New National Party, starting in 1948, as the struggle over apartheid heated up. In recent years, the Internet has quietly multiplied white nationalism's public influence.
White nationalism in the US combines elements of American racial nationalism and a race-based identity politics. Starting in the 1960s, it grew as the conservative movement developed in mainstream society. Samuel Huntington argues that it developed as a reaction to a perceived decline in the essence of American identity as European, Anglo-Protestant and English-speaking. Some American white nationalists, for example, say immigration must be restricted to selected people of European ancestry.
[edit] Identity
White nationalists say every nationality feels a natural affection for its own kind. Thus they believe in a common identity, common interests, and common political action for 'White people'. This identity is valid for the entire White population, but not an obligation for others. This worldview is often influenced by late 19th-century romantic racial nationalism.
Most supporters see 'White nationalism' refers to political activities within an existing country. They have not necessarily rejected their existing national identity and allegiance, nor that they seek to destroy existing states. They see as themselves patriotic preservers of European history and culture. In other words, their racial identity coincides with this patriotism: for them, everything that is good about their homeland is White.
The present form of American White nationalism, inclusive of Caucasian immigrant groups, is relatively recent. Conversely, "White nationalism" in Europe normally indicates a racial variant of an existing ethnic nationalism. For example, the British National Party opposes large-scale immigration of Russians and Poles, even though they are White. They see the true British nation as consisting of only White British people.
Some White nationalists support a territorially defined White separatism, the belief that White and non-White people should reside in separate territories (and not just lead separate social lives). Like the Volksstaat proposal, it would require migration of whites to a remote and thinly-populated location. However, some other forms of white separatism proposed by white nationalists take the form of far-reaching racial segregation, within an existing nation-state.
[edit] Definition of "White"
White nationalists define 'White' in restricted way. In the United States, it implies European ancestry, self-identification with European culture and European ethnicity. Likewise, the neologism European-American is a contrast with Asian-American and African-American.
Europe has a uniform racial population, many think that it was uniformed after the Ice Age, when the Old Continent was re-inhabitated by a small group of survivors who readily spread across the lands.
There are some debates whether or not to consider Armenians, [[Georgia|Georgians] and other populations from Caucasus as white. As for their culture they survived muslim invasions and maintained Christian religion and researches about their intelligence shows higher results than those of the neighbors Iranians and Turks.
Some White nationalists hope that population genetics will provide clear criteria for 'white'. Some have adopted a definition based on the Y-chromosome haplogroup R1b. This marker is prevalent in most Western European populations, possibly reflecting the re-expansion into Europe of a smaller human population in Southern Europe, after the last ice age.
[edit] Historical Precedents for White Nationalism
White nationalists in the United States may appeal to historical precedents for their beliefs. Many past Americans held views about race that would now be considered taboo. Legislation reflected this definition of the American nation in openly racial terms. For example, the early United States limited naturalisation to whites:
That any alien, being a free white person, who shall have resided within the limits and under the jurisdiction of the United States for the term of two years, may be admitted to become a citizen thereof, on application to any common law court of record, in any one of the States wherein he shall have resided for the term of one year at least, and making proof to the satisfaction of such court, that he is a person of good character, and taking the oath or affirmation prescribed by law, to support the Constitution of the United States, which oath or affirmation such court shall administer; and the clerk of such court shall record such application, and the proceedings thereon; and thereupon such person shall be considered as a citizen of the United States. And the children of such persons so naturalized, dwelling within the United States, being under the age of twenty-one years at the time of such naturalization, shall also be considered as citizens of the United States. And the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens: Provided, that the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States. Act of March 26, 1790 (1 Stat 103-104) [1]
Open discussion of racial separation was also common: desegregation only began in the 1950s. Abraham Lincoln, addressing the black community, wrote:
There is much to encourage you. For the sake of your race you should sacrifice something of your present comfort for the purpose of being as grand in that respect as the white people … General Washington himself endured greater physical hardships than if he had remained a British subject, yet he was a happy man because he had engaged in benefiting his race, in doing something for the children of his neighbors, having none of his own. The colony of Liberia has been in existence a long time. In a certain sense it is a success. The old President of Liberia, Roberts, has just been with me — the first time I ever saw him. He says they have within the bounds of that colony between three and four hundred thousand people, or more than in some of our old States, such as Rhode Island or Delaware, or in some of our newer States, and less than in some of our larger ones … The question is, if the colored people are persuaded to go anywhere, why not there Address On Colonization To A Deputation Of Colored Men. Washington, August 14, 1862. [2]
[edit] White Nationalist Groups
American Renaissance, Council of Conservative Citizens [3], and the National Alliance [4] and are three leading examples in the United States, also Stormfront web forums show great support for white nationalism.
In Europe, nationalist parties such as France's Front National, Germany's National Democratic Party and the Italian Northern League promote nationalism and oppose immigration, but do not describe themselves as "white nationalist". In most European nation-states, the nation is traditionally defined by ancestry and long-term association of a single ethnic group with the national homeland. If that ethnic groups is already 'white' - as for instance with the Germans in Germany - then additional definition as 'white' is superfluous. In countries with a longer history of mass immigration, as in Britain, some definitions of the national identity now include immigrants. It is when this redefinition is disputed, that ethnic or racial limits on the composition of the nation become a political issue.

Thinking About ‘White Nationalism’ It would behoove us to reflect on what it is about our people that require our enemies to be so vigilant. by Frank Roman Well, it seems the troglodytes over at the Southern Poverty Law Center have finally gotten around to including our organization, EAU, onto their infamous 'hate map.' ( http://www.splcenter.org/intel/map/hate.jsp#s=CA )This so-called hate map is supposed to display the continental whereabouts of alleged racist haters. You know who they are; they’re the Luftwaffe combined with a couple of rural white guys in bib overalls all rolled into one, a really ugly package. Yeah, that’s them. In recent years the SPLC’s definition of hate has come to include anyone with a website and a PO Box whose politics lean right of Ted Kennedy. This hate map lists garden variety Neo Nazis, Klansmen, conservatives, pagans, and immigration revisionists (as I like to call them) complete with contact information and their location for interested parties to join, such as bored FBI agents. It also includes a category of “hate” known as 'white nationalist,' the designation European Americans United now occupies within the hallowed halls of Morris Dee’s church. So, now that EAU and its members have been bestowed with that label by those “in the know,” I'd like to talk about that description with you today.
Now if that is what a ‘white nationalist’ designation is supposed to represent then fine, we’ll take it but with reservations. I’m not to keen with the nationalist end of the label which we allegedly share with, according to the SPLC, black nationalists, specifically the Nation of Islam. In my opinion they are black supremacists inasmuch as LaRaza and MEChA are brown supremacists. And in case you hadn’t noticed, our friends over at the SPLC don’t list them as haters of anything at all. On the other hand, while they decry ‘white supremacism’ they seem to have a difficult time describing the actions of non-whites working on behalf of their group interests, often violently, as supremacists of any kind. Federal and corporate dollars going into those groups’ coffers will do that, you know. And never mind the fact that most so-called white supremacists simply work to promote separate living space and political independence from policies that favor non-white influence. This still seems to qualify as supremacism. Therefore, because EAU and similar groups do not blatantly sport frightening images, espouse bloody rhetoric or engage in apocalyptic racial fantasies; because we are sober active white Americans then the SPLC had no choice but to think that we, by default, consider ourselves to be white nationalists while hiding a supremacist ulterior motive. Is that how it works? Certainly, the manner in which even the most benign activists are attacked by these so-called ‘watch dog’ groups belie more is at work in their fevered brains than political disagreement. Now, this is not to say our people don’t breathe the same air as some really dangerous cranks who espouse things like non-white genocide and mass murder. EAU has nothing whatsoever to do with them.
But let us assume our enemies and their lackeys are 100% correct when they say that white nationalism is really white supremacism, that it’s a real and deadly threat to a multicultural America. Alright then, I have a question for these mewling bed wetters: where is it? Where is this so-called white supremacism? Have you seen it? Have THEY seen it? (Please don’t tell me they’re referring to a gaggle of misfits that play dress up, or beat up innocent people.) Only the most blind or self deceiving dolt hasn’t seen how relentless, universal misinformation has made us ashamed of our character and our customs; insisting through the media and the courts that our diverse accomplishments as a distinct race actually belong to the entire world and we have to “share.” In reality we “white supremacists disguised as white nationalists” seem to be too scared to organize for our common good as non-whites and others do; who are not only encouraged but are heavily funded as well. Additionally, white people in America and around the world are race-mixing and aborting themselves out of existence while allowing record Third World immigration into our white ancestral homelands. Does all of that sound like white supremacy? If you recall in early 2007 (and possibly sometime soon in 2008!), the street demonstrations of millions of mestizos across America bore a simple message: ‘We call for your rights! We claim your jobs! We want your women! We demand your future! If you don’t hand us America then you are racist Nazis!’ So where was the massive so called white supremacist back lash to these swarthy demonstrators as they waved their Mexican and American flags while proclaiming their phony allegiance to the “American Dream?” Where was the white resistance to this clear and present danger against our posterity? With the exception of a few letters to the editor I didn’t see it. Did you? How supreme is that, my friends? Look, while we should snub direct or oblique labels toward us as being supremacists in the form of nationalists, it would behoove us to consider what it is about our people that requires our enemies to be so vigilant. Why, it might actually be flattering! But we won’t ever really know until we have a self-motivated social and political machine in place -- and we had better get on the stick. At any rate tagging a group like EAU with the label white nationalist, or ANY label of the SPLC’s choosing is merely a way to marginalize our sensible message because in the long term it may upset the status quo for those who directly benefit from a squabbling (multicultural), consumer driven society.
Okay’ let’s take a stab at it: what would a white nationalist America look like? First, let me say the batteries in my crystal ball need to be changed and I can’t read the future at this time. Nor am I a civics expert. But I think we can extrapolate from EAU’s basic positions and moderate tone what a nation under the authority of a white advocacy government might actually look like. Off hand the integration and destruction of the founding race would simply have to stop since our declining numbers can’t take much more. Corruption of the law would be considered abhorrent and abortion would have to stop being the equivalent of a trip to the dentist. Foreign wars would be pointless since a white nationalist government would keep its nose out of everyone else business. Save for the discovery of an imminent threat to our safety as a people, invading a sovereign nation would be a last resort. Leaders whose sole aim in life is the pursuit of wealth and influence to the detriment of everyone else will have been effectively neutralized by law & the proper instruction of ethics; based not on class or creed, but instead on moral character and personal achievement. And finally, the traditional family unit would be the cornerstone upon which all else was derived. Okay, so let’s try to get a little more specific.
Because of the so-called “civil rights” movement an ever increasing number of white Americans are beginning to see that it was only they who were supposed to give up any sense of racial solidarity. However, a white nationalist government would support self-determination for all races and peoples domestically AND around the world. It would also allow European Americans to decide where they wish to live and enforce a right to decide how they will live, provided their choice does not cause an undue financial or social burden on the rest. But, knowing that a stem to stern wholly white America is not realistic, in certain regions a domestic geographic separation would be necessary for the preservation of all unique cultures and ethnics; allowing the natural proclivities of every race to live among their own kind. While some of our more antagonistic yet weaker listeners will be horrified at such a proposal, consider this: (Quoting John Young): “Over the past forty years, our government and dozens of private organizations have tried to put things right in a variety of ways -- generous scholarship programs, head start, affirmative action, early intervention and the investment of untold trillions of dollars. Yet, after all of this effort, the living conditions of the average black child are actually worse than they were 40 years ago. Back in 1960, one-fifth of black children were born out of wedlock; whereas today, it is more than half. There can be no more telling example of a policy that not merely fails to achieve its stated objectives, but makes matters materially worse, and at a terrible cost in terms of human misery. Think about that a second. Living under an ostentatiously apartheid system that regarded them as less-than-human, where blacks had their own schools, their own colleges, their own churches, their own social structures and so forth - blacks had stronger marriages, lower crime and in many cases higher academic achievement than they do today. African-Americans didn't somehow become less intelligent today than they were 80 years ago. IQ scores are not the explanation. European-Americans didn't somehow become more "racist" than we were 80 years ago -- if anything, we have become way less racist. The major change that occurred was INTEGRATING blacks into white culture.” Therefore, the quest for the concept of racial equality would be declared a search for the lowest common denominator as demonstrated today. When man’s perceptions are unhindered by alien or caustic influences, especially from a media whose sole aim is to promote shallowness, political correctness and consumption, a media that would be wholly reigned in without compunction, the pursuit of equality may then be regarded as the destruction of quality. A white nationalist government’s primary concern would be what most benefits the diversity of European Americans as a people, and the preservation of their genes and their lands is undoubtedly in everyone’s best interest. By “celebrating diversity” they be will be celebrating not only their own improvement but their rising numbers, influence, and undreamed of possibilities for the future. That’s the best I can come up with as far as what a white nationalist United States would look like. Rather than sending off our best and brightest to fight and die for a United Corporations of America or a Global Empire of America a white nationalist America would above all else seek peaceful co-existence with other nations, so long as they did not threaten the organic destiny of our people. But there is still much to do to achieve this worthy goal. Far and wide the Marxist elite educate our children that to defend our genetic and historical legacy is the very depiction of evil; while assisting in the long term goals of the non-white segments of society and the world is righteous and good. The end result, if trends continue, will be not only the genocide of European derived people but the genocide of all races through conflict, miscegenation and loss of identity. However, the way it looks now its going to take what the Southern Poverty Law Center calls a ‘white nationalist’ group to prevent this kind of violence, a violence they themselves have openly promoted for decades. | |||
