In the wake of the mass shooting in Buffalo by an avowed white supremacist, a number of people on social media are working overtime to tar various people and groups with the label of white nationalism. Accusatory fingers are being pointed, primarily at various conservatives, without even attempting to find out what actually influenced the gunman. (I am purposely not using his name in this essay.) If we are serious about wanting to confront and defeat this evil — as I hope we are — then it would be helpful to do so from an informed position. Then we could target the actual problem, rather than randomly lashing out in every direction, as so many seem to be doing.
The manifesto this white supremacist wrote confirmed my description of white nationalism in my recent book, Darwinian Racism: How Darwinism Influenced Hitler, Nazism, and White Nationalism. First, he rejects Christianity, even professing not to believe in any kind of afterlife. This counters the common view promoted in the mainstream media that white nationalists are motivated by religion, especially evangelical Christianity. On the contrary, he continually claims he is a man of reason and logic, and he tries to demonstrate that his racist views are actually scientific, not based on religion or emotion.
He also appeals to science to explain why races are unequal. According to this young man — and most white nationalists today — races arose through biological evolution. He argues that races are subgroups that have diverged, not only in physical traits, but also in their mental and moral characteristics. He believes that the white race has evolved to have higher intelligence and that blacks have evolved with greater biological tendencies to crime, rape, and other immoral behavior.

2. Darwinism is the root of this guy's hatred.
3. This dude is a hard leftist and declares that conservatism is dead.
4. Conservatives believe the US Constitution is the protector of society. These people believe it is a hindrance.
“If we are serious about wanting to confront and defeat this evil — as I hope we are — then it would be helpful to do so from an informed position.”
This guy is an absolute, naive moron!
The left prays for events like this!
“..white nationalism...”
I am still not sure what the definition of “white nationalism” is. It always seemed to me that a “nationalist” would be nothing more than a patriot, an America first advocate - like me. But in today’s world it must mean something more, something sinister. Help!!
OK I'll bite. Why are races 'unequal'?
It's a term used to scapegoat White conservative people
The last three monsters - this white mentally ill 18 year old, the black nationalist subway killer and the Waukesha black Christmas parade racist/killer should all be tired and put to death for multiple murders....
None of the three monsters represent the black or white communities. But... to clarify...
Then to shine the light of truth on the situation BEFORE running off half cocked making the situation worse - collect facts. The FBI needs to release murder statistics for all racial groups in the United States weekly...
Murder rates for :
White on White murder
Black on Black murder
White on Black murder
Black on White murder.
“OK I’ll bite. Why are races ‘unequal’?”
If you’re referring to physical characteristics like height, stamina, athletic ability, etc. then natural selection and selective breeding both have a lot of explanatory power. However, if you are talking about issues of morality and character, it has to be a bit more complicated than genetics and evolutionary theory can explain.
Neither evolutionary theory nor science in general can explain the foundations of morality. There is no such thing as “more highly evolved” morality. There are many kind and compassionate people with inferior intelligence. And there are many highly-intelligent sociopaths.
There are so many ways that blacks are their own worst enemies; but, rather than look at their mirrors, blacks blame white people who are opposed to world government.
The kid was mentally ill.
