“You seem to be fine with national identity, but not with your racial identity which is an even more fundamental part of who you are.”
Maybe I underestimated the amount of kookery that exists under the “white nationalist” brand name when a member of this forum seems to be defending it. Hopefully I’m misunderstanding your point.
I’m perfectly content being white. I have no white guilt. I neither believe being white makes me inferior or superior to anyone else.
I, like the founders, believe God created all men (meaning human persons, male and female) equal.
“By the way, do you realize that the ones you call fringe, crazy, nut case white nationalists include Lincoln, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and many other prominent early Americans?”
Really? The term “white nationalist” in its current usage was coined in 1970. So your assertion is off by a couple of centuries. The founders WERE NATIONALISTS who were also WHITE. But that is my point. The term is combining two things to mean something entirely different from what either word means by itself.
“Today your whiteness is under constant attacks.”
Yeah, I think I said as much in the post to which you are replying.
But it is actually deeper than that, which I think you don’t realize. ALL racial identities are under attack. ALL nationalities are under attack. Globalists want to destroy national boundaries. They also use race as a way to divide and conquer.
Whites are being told they should feel guilty and be ashamed of their whiteness. We are even being told we are evil because of our color. Other ethnicities are also encouraged toward self-loathing. Usually it is by constantly being told they are helpless victims.
I believe in “borders, language, culture”. The biggest problem with illegal immigration (and even our current criteria for legal immigration) is how it is being used to alter the demographic makeup of our society as a means to control us.
“In 1816, a group of white Americans founded the American Colonization Society (ACS) to deal with the ‘problem’ of the growing number of free blacks in the United States by resettling them in Africa... Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and John Randolph were among the best known members... Thomas Jefferson publicly supported the organization’s goals, and President James Madison arranged public funding for the Society.”
You mischaracterize the purpose of ACS, as if it was opposed to “free blacks”. The majority of its members were abolitionists. The movement ACS was based on came from Paul Cuffee, a mixed-race Quaker and abolitionist. He was also a Christian preacher who frequently spoke to multi-racial audiences in church.
I believe the founders you reference would be in agreement with me. I have far more in common with a black person who is a Christian than a white pagan. I have far more in common with black conservatives, like Alan West or Clarence Thomas, than I do with lily white Democrats like Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi (who jumped for joy when her white granddaughter wished she was brown).
America is the envy of the world because of her Christian roots that made her great. But we also have our problems which are due to the anti-Christian influences seeking to change our nation into something she was never meant to be. The people of other nations should learn from America’s success, as well as what we have that needs fixing. And it makes sense that far more people want to come here than want to leave for somewhere else. After all, we are the greatest nation on earth, in spite of our flaws. But when they come here, they need to support American greatness (the things that made us great) rather than trying to change America to be like the places they are fleeing.
The solution to our race problem is contained in our first amendment. Free speech and free religion allows hearts and minds to be changed. The only place in which different races and cultures can find true harmony is in the message of the Gospel of Christ, which is for ALL people, regardless of language, nationality, or race. Liberal multiculturalism is a Satanic imitation of this principle, and it only leads to destruction.
“I, like the founders, believe God created all men (meaning human persons, male and female) equal.”
Thus you and the “kooky white nationalists” that you detest are equal. You and Hitler are equal. Or you and Einstein are equal. Or you and LeBron are equal. And there are no differences between you and your wife.
This preposterous notion of equality has caused and is causing most of our problems, including the expectation of equal outcomes, after all if we’re all equal we all should have the same things. If not it’s because somebody is racist, sexist, homophobic, capitalist...
The fact is that the insipid notion that we’re all equal (or created equal) flies in the face of the most obvious of realities - THAT WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT.
And thank God he did that. What a depressingly boring world it would be if we were all equal.
I can hear you now. “I don’t really mean “equal” when I say equal”
OK, so what exactly do you mean?
