White Collectivism in an Affirmative Action World?

Instead of pushing forward a campaign for collective white ascendancy, I am interested in first, protecting the freedom of whites, and second, reclaiming and revising the racial dialogue in America.

The first objective requires the abolishment of affirmative action, minority set-asides, diversity organizations, and other similar programs. These programs, while not doing so explicitly, undermine a white person's ability to appropriate merit-based achievement. The propagation of the "white privilege" farce is obscuring the real problem of subjugating qualified whites to "diversity" initiatives. The goal of HBDers should not be whites achieving a higher average status, but rather protecting individual whites against racialist programs. I don't care about disparate rates of accomplishment or if whites dominate a certain field. I'm only interested in whites not being automatically relegated to a bottom tier position based on supposed white nepotism or inheritance.

Second, I see the HBD community (and similarly un-PC groups like freerepublic.com or littlegreenfootballs.com, pundits like Malkin, Coulter, and Savage) as a means to reclaim the racial paradigm that is slowly drifting towards religious zeal amongst the left. The contemporary American discussion of race is centered on grievance, guilt, and apology, all emanating from whites. The narrative, largely conceived by leftists and their elite universities, depicts America as inherently evil, racist, and stagnant in racial affairs since the Civil War.....

As far as white males are concerned, affirmative action based on racial preferences is at worst a minor problem, the reason that large numbers of white men may be headed for life in a new "underclass" is because they're being outcompeted by white females.

Take a look for example at the college stats: over the last 40 years have completely reversed, women are now receiving an increasing majority of degrees in both disciplines, and within those disciplines they are receiving an increasing majority of honors degrees.

When college professors are asked about this, the responses are remarkably uniform: the women are more organized, less distracted by extracurricular activities such as sports, and above all more highly motivated.

If you're a young white male looking to get started on the road to a reasonable income, the overwhelming majority of your competitors are white women and members of other high-performing minorities - there just aren't that many qualified black competitors for jobs.

And the reason that many white men are noncompetitive in the college environment is that many of their values and priorities show disturbing similarities to their counterparts in the black underclass: lack of motivation, inability to make long-range plans and defer current gratification to achieve them... and a tendency to blame someone else for their own failings.

Take a look, for example, here:

Didn’t bother reading the whole thing because I can tell it’s a wast of time. The rational argument will never win this fight. Only the moral outrage of a Christian and the sword cross will stop the subservient status of whites. The only chance Whitey has is re-connecting with the faith of his ancestors. cwny!
