As well, White nationalists misrepresent the past. It was not Whiteness that makes Europa and her descendants worthy of loyalty, but the cultural habits of Christendom that laid the groundwork. Indeed, the rise of Nationalism coincided with the decline of Christendom, so I'm tempted to dismiss the WNs as slightly-behind-the-times modernists.
Of course most people outside of the American South didn't much think of themselves as White, but as descendants of a particular European people. Right now I'm reading an enormously influential popular history written in 1921 called "The Story of the Irish Race," so race itself was often thought of in ethnic terms as well.
The Leftist blindspot when it comes to religion and ethnicity is often hilarious, such as when criticism of Mohammedan pig-dog nutjobs is dismissed as racism, when it's good old anti-religious polemic or, in the case of the Greeks for instance, anti-colonialism. I imagine there are equally laughable racialists thinking of Islam in similar terms. I, for one, would be much more confident in the future of Europe if she were being populated by devout Arab Christians instead of Muslims.
I wouldn't be surprised if there are some genetic predispositions among the contemporary so-called races that would have some socio-cultural impact, but I don't think it's terribly significant to dwell upon them even if such differences are found, and found to have negative impact in some cases.
No!
Exactly. Conservatism has absolutely nothing to do with skin color. As a matter of fact, one cannot be racist and conservative. The two are not compatible.
Nation of Islam, aka Black Muslims are black nationalists.
I would rather have dinner with Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams than any white members of the Democratic Party
Prof. Walter Williams could not be reached for comment
The premise of the article is so flawed that it doesn't deserve comment.
You just bought the hook. A racist makes a stupid charge. Now you want us to enter the "I'm not a racist" defensathon. No way.
Good points and well said.
Pinko.
Everything...if you're a liberal.
All blacks, yellows, reds and greens, plus the good whites, are liberals.
Only the baaaddddd whites are conservatives (along with a few crazy blacks and browns).
The entire premise of the poster's question is absurd.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
the term white nationalist is used to denigrate conservatives....it is used by the left and PC-Cons...to basically attack any white rightist who defends THEIR own culture from attack....any white southerner on this forum who has any stones at all will end up by default being labeled a white nationalist...at best.
there are PC conservatives as well for whom being "non-white" is everything.
I don't even remotely understand why you are asking these questions. Of course THEY (Nation of Islam) aren't acting in OUR (Americans) interest. The Nation of Islam is at best a racist organization that serves to divide and works against the interests of all Americans. At worst, it's a terrorist organization prepared to harm American citizens.
If you can't understand the questions then why did you offer such a lame observation to begin with? Or, were you just bored and made some attempt to show that you had some thought process going on?
Perhaps the good professor should ask some of the many Black, Hispanic and Asian conservatives that question.
