White separatism is an ideology arguing for separatism for whites, often in separate territories, which may or may not be separate countries, in the USA primarily to evade black crime and violence, in Europe to evade the negative impact of mass immigration and the loss of identity.

Definition

Separatism is a term similar to separation is segregation. A distinction is sometimes made between segregation as being involuntary (such as due to laws) and/or partial and separation as being a voluntary and/or a more complete process, which may imply territorial separation of the different groups into different, homogeneous territories.

White separatism argues against multiculturalism, integration, and assimilation.

Certain historical systems, such as the racial segregation in the United States and the apartheid system in South Africa, included limited racial separateness for the races co-existing in the same territory, but modern supporters usually see these as insufficient and advocate completely separate territories. White supremacism, as implying whites ruling over and co-existing with non-whites in the same area, is not supported.

White separatism does not necessarily hold whites to be superior to other races. It is possible to advocate for racial separation by arguing that racial separatism would be beneficial for all groups, due to factors such as problems caused ethnic heterogeneity and mixed race groups having problems due to genetic outbreeding depression and psychological issues caused by identity issues.

Reasons such as argued differences regarding average genetics may also be cited. Genetics may argued to be the root cause and a fundamental necessity for the modern Western civilization created by Europeans. Insufficient separatism and changes due to causes such as mass migration and race mixing may be argued to be the downfall of many previous civilizations.

White flight

The many forms of white flight can be seen as related to a desire for white separatism. Sometimes the revival of paganism is put in context to white separatism.

Quotes

  • You and we are different races. We have between us a broader difference than exists between almost any other two races. Whether it is right or wrong I need not discuss, but this physical difference is a great disadvantage to us both, as I think your race suffer very greatly, many of them by living among us, while ours suffer from your presence. In a word we suffer on each side. If this is admitted, it affords a reason at least why we should be separated. You here are freemen I suppose. [...] Perhaps you have long been free, or all your lives. Your race are suffering, in my judgment, the greatest wrong inflicted on any people. But even when you cease to be slaves, you are yet far removed from being placed on an equality with the white race. You are cut off from many of the advantages which the other race enjoy. The aspiration of men is to enjoy equality with the best when free, but on this broad continent, not a single man of your race is made the equal of a single man of ours. Go where you are treated the best, and the ban is still upon you.Abraham Lincoln on 14 August 1862 addressing a negro committee
