White Innovations

Anti-racism is a mating display. It says: “Look at me! I have such earning power I can live where I like! I don’t have to worry about feral underclass blacks or Salvadoran gangbangers! I can strike a pose of lofty indifference to matters of race! Drop your knickers right now!

All this “equality, democracy, individualism” nonsense that is the heart of the Cathedral’s gospel isn’t practiced by the Left. (At least not with life-altering seriousness.) The fact they believe in it is enough. They need not practice those things. Now those UGH RETHUGLIKKKAN BIGOTS on the other hand, they must be forced to obey and carry out this gospel, because they do not believe.

It’s okay for SWPLs to live away from diversity, because they believe in it. Right-wingers must live among/in/with diversity because they’re the “bad guys” and must be taught a lesson. “People of Color” have a right to their own countries, cultures, and cliques because they are “victims™”. Whites are not permitted any of those things because they are the oppressors. It’s a kind of inverse Christianity: As long as you believe the right things you need not practice more than token devotion, except those heathens who must be forced to profess your faith *because* they don’t believe it.

White people don’t like talking about black people, they like talking about how much they hate other white people.

Race is a biological fact. It is the most prominent and intractable fault line in any society. The idea that racial diversity can work in America even though it has never worked anywhere ever is to assume that the United States has abolished the laws of human nature. To the extent that multi-racialism has worked here at all, it is due to the willingness of whites to sacrifice their own interests in order to build a country in which race is supposed to dwindle into insignificance.

Non-whites don’t even pretend they want to build such a society. They quite naturally want America to reflect their cultures, celebrate their heroes and holidays, and not those of whites. As whites begin to understand the dangers of the forces they have set in motion, more and more will brave the insults and begin to work for their entirely legitimate interests as a race.

I am of a certain age, and I was around 50 years ago. I was reading the newspapers and following world events and I remember the civil rights movement. I was in England, but we followed it. I remember it, I remember what we felt about it, and what people were writing about it. It was full of hope. The idea in everyone’s mind was that if we strike down these unjust laws and we outlaw all this discrimination, then we’ll be whole. Then America will be made whole. After an intermediate period of a few years, who knows, maybe 20 years, with a hand up from things like affirmative action, black America will just merge into the general population and the whole thing will just go away. That’s what everybody believed. Everybody thought that. And it didn’t happen.

Here we are, we’re 50 years later, and we’ve still got these tremendous disparities in crime rates, educational attainment, and so on. And I think, although they’re still mouthing the platitudes, Americans in their hearts feel a kind of cold despair about it. They feel that Thomas Jefferson was probably right and we can’t live together in harmony. I think that’s why you see this slow ethnic disaggregation. We have a very segregated school system now. There are schools within 10 miles of where I’m sitting that are 98 percent minority. In residential housing too, it’s the same thing. So I think there is a cold, dark despair lurking in America’s collective heart about the whole thing.

A recognition that people are more comfortable and happy when they are with people of the same race is to recognize the folly of the entire “civil rights” enterprise. “Integration,” as it has been practised in the United States involves, for the most part, forcing whites to accept the presence of people whose company they do not desire. If Prof. Swain accepts that private actors—and this includes private employers and business owners, as well as residential associations—have the right to discriminate on the basis of race, then we must repeal the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Prof. Swain must not wriggle off the hook by saying she said only “living space” may be legitimately segregated. The same principles apply to “working space,” “playing space,” “shopping space,” “the space we see on TV,” and in fact to any space at all. I am saying our society should recognize the tribal nature of man rather than pretend we can rise above it.

This is why immigration is so important. Our color-blind immigration policy is based on the assumption that race is an illegitimate criterion for defining “living space” or any other space. But if race is a legitimate criterion, why should whites (or blacks) welcome the arrival of Asians and Hispanics, who are alien to us both? In any case, our polychrome but overwhelmingly non-white immigration stream is only creating infinite varieties of racial conflict to overlie and complicate the original black/white divide. Racial diversity is a terrible source of conflict and tension; it is not a strength.

The Leftist argument for “diversity” is always a normative and moralistic one; you are somehow “better” for engaging with blacks and supporting “diversity” despite the higher probability of being criminally victimized. Therefore, the morally correct thing to do is to ignore the probability.

But utilizing probability is a rational response to facing circumstances with incomplete information. Game theory, polling, medical research, health and safety policies, etc. all rely heavily on probability.

Long ago I realized that the “odds” were simply not worth it when it came to race relations. Blacks are about 13% of the population —- but there is nothing, literally NOTHING — that I either need or want that I cannot get from the other 87%. I suspect this is true for many if not most whites. White “diversiphiles” are simply engaged in narcissistic moral preening to flatter themselves.

Displaying your unconcern for black behavior is a covert signal of affluence: you’re too rich and privileged to care about what the lower elements of society are doing, because you don’t actually have to interact with them. And you get the added moral bonus of decrying the privilege of the non-privileged whites who have the gall to not be born on third base and think they hit a triple…

The desire for social status is the primary driver of human behavior. Given the choice between survival tomorrow and social status today, what do people choose? Yeah, you can worry about the future of the society our ancestors toiled to build (so that we, their descendants, could piss it all away on a lark), but someone might label you as uncool… better not risk it.
