While Donald Trump has called on the GOP to become a “worker’s party”— a development Sen. Jeff Sessions called for two years ago, ironically, in the pages of the National Review— French has defended the idea that white working-class communities “deserve to die.”
Specifically, French wrote a piece in support of Kevin D. Williamson, who had said:
The truth about these dysfunctional, downscale communities is that they deserve to die. Economically, they are negative assets. Morally, they are indefensible. Forget all your cheap theatrical Bruce Springsteen crap. Forget your sanctimony about struggling Rust Belt factory towns and your conspiracy theories about the wily Orientals stealing our jobs. Forget your goddamned gypsum, and, if he has a problem with that, forget Ed Burke, too. The white American underclass is in thrall to a vicious, selfish culture whose main products are misery and used heroin needles. Donald Trump’s speeches make them feel good. So does OxyContin. What they need isn’t analgesics, literal or political. They need real opportunity, which means that they need real change, which means that they need U-Haul.
French insists that the devastation of the working-class’ livelihoods is unrelated to failed federal policies such as mass immigration:
[I] have seen the challenges of the white working-class first-hand. Simply put, Americans are killing themselves and destroying their families at an alarming rate. No one is making them do it. The economy isn’t putting a bottle in their hand. Immigrants aren’t making them cheat on their wives or snort OxyContin. Obama isn’t walking them into the lawyer’s office to force them to file a bogus disability claim.
When readers responded with outrage to French’s piece, French doubled down in a post entitled “The Great White Working-Class Debate: Just Because I’m ‘Nasty’ Doesn’t Mean I’m Wrong.”

LOL! You have warmed to me, haven't you. :) :) :)
Kristol and French’s anti-white rhetoric would make the Black Panthers blush. At least the Black Panthers don’t pretend to be “conservatives” representing the very people who they want to see gone, and don’t hypocritically demand our money and votes for their candidates of choice like the neoconservative Republicans do.
I’ve liked you for about 10 years! We only had one tiff and it was a long time ago.
Oh yeah, I forgot.
We only had one tiff and it was a long time ago.
Well, you know about us Megalomaniacs With Low Self-Esteem: We can be in a room of 100 people, and 99 love us, and we'll fret about the one who doesn't.
10 years of loving me, and I fret about the one tiff. :) :) :)
Well, I like you, I love my husband. If this gets around, David French is going to wish me dead!
I can work with that. :)
If this gets around, David French is going to wish me dead!
He already does.
Why? Because you believe in the global warming fraud? Coal is a great source of energy, and we have hundreds of years worth in the ground.
Energy independence is not what some powerful people want.
The money we have sent to the middle east must amount to hundreds of marshall plans.
Think about that.
Money that should have stayed in the USA.
for later
I am truly astounded at the arrogant elitist bull crap this guy spewed. This guy is finished — he won’t get out of the starting gate. What utter nonsense.
That’s right. How quickly I forget death threats.
This fits right in with the rhetoric found in “Practical Idealism” By Count Richard N. Coudenhove Kalergi - published in Vienna 1925.
This to me is the driving force behind much of what we are seeing come out in the open.
Has anything good come out of Harvard Law School?
Its too bad that place isn’t hit by a cruise missile and wiped out.
Imagine being his poor wife:)
He’s a uniparty globalist, alright.
“Has anything good come out of Harvard Law School”. Well, Obama....just kidding. The Ivy League has become an intellectual cesspool.
At the least, he is very controlling of his wife. Not a good sign.
Alarm bells went off for me as well.
You are missing the point....there are over 90 million Americans out of the workforce. This is not a matter of hard-work, gumption & self-reliance. Between massive, endless third world immigration by the millions every year & the outscoring of tens of millions of jobs there is no place Americans can move, let alone 90 million of them !
It is infuriating, but at the same time, this has been a most informative election.
All the enemies of middle class America have been "outing" themselves, so to speak.
