$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('undertaker', 'I')t's clear that I_Like_Plants never understood White nationalism.
I wouldn't call myself a "Neo-Nazi," but I am a White nationalist in the same way that members of La Raza (the race) are Raza Nationalists, and so on.
I noticed that every group besides Whites were allowed to participate in positive ethnic identification and advocate for thier ethnic interests; but for some strange reason, people of European descent were not allowed ethnic identification unless they were bashing their own kind or working against the interests of people of European descent.
I lived in Boston and learned about the bussing battle of 1974. The Boston Irish had their "turf" in South Boston and Charleston, just as the Jews have thier turf in Brookline, Blacks in Dorchester/Roxbury, Vietnamese have thier turf over in a town I forget the name but I remember "Little Vietnam" and I knew a Vietnamese and found out from asking him that Vietnamese have their Vietnamese-only day cares, schools, churches, and even blocks of apartment buildings!
So every race except Whites is allowed to have ethnic turf.
South Boston had forced bussing of Blacks into their schools, and they rioted. Unfortunately they lost to the heavy handed tactics of Judge Arthur Garrity and the haters of Whites in the gov't.
Also, I saw how Whites had to pay "full market rate rent" for apartments in Boston, and people of color were given "section 8" housing subsidies. I lived in "integrated" housing for a year, and my colored neighbors paid 400 a month rent, and I paid 1300 a month rent. They called me "rich boy" and vandalized my car and spat on the sidewalk right in front of me and my 3 year old daughter when we walked by. One week I had an earned vacation and I noticed that all my neighbors spent their days lollygagging at home. When they called me "rich," after that I said, "You're rich -- you don't have to work!" And I dubbed that area "ni$$erz in paradise." And in the Boston Globe they still published articles about the poor downtrodden colored people, and how Whites should feel so very guilty for their "white privilege" etc. What a joke!
I got out of the city, and I can't wait to see what happens when there's no more subsidized everything for these people. They are going to be pissed and I'm going to be laughing.
Also, expressing race realism can get you fired from your job nowadays. But when people have less to lose, they will be more free to express what they really believe. The growth economy keeps everyone "in line," so to speak. Peak Oil is going to be a new era of free speech!
Oh you are so wrong. I grew up in Hawaii keep in mind. Lived in California most of my adult life. I understand White nationalism completely and agree that if the other races are going to have their groups and schools and all that, Whites ought to also. I know all about Whites paying full market rent while other groups get breaks, Whites having to work much harder for the same pay, all that. This is something that working-class Whites know all about, mind you, not the brie-eating Whites who run so many things. They look at you like you're some kind of monster or devient if you bring these things up, but they are everyday experiences for working class Whites.
No, I understand White nationalism comletely. I just think that White nationalism, Black nationalism, La Raza, etc are being used by the folks running things to keep us all divided and weak. Mexicans brought in to break up working-class White neighborhoods and unions, job preferences used to keep wages low for the working class, and keep the White working class people angry at the Brown working class people, instead of seeing the real problem.
Recently I read a book about Woodie Guthrie when he was in the Merchant Marine, written by a friend and shipmate. The everyday experiences Woody went through as a working-class activist showed how hollow a race-based nationalism can be. Whites in charge treated Woody and his working-class White fellows the worst. Black and brown working class folks often were lifesavers for him. A blind loyalty based on race is outrageous when it's your own race holding you down, which is the case for working-class Whites.
And where does it stop? White nationalism means you have to esteem George Bush, for instance, over Ralph Nader, because Ralph Nader is actually an olive-skinned semi-white at best. At worst he's a raghead. This area I live in was, before they covered it with cheapo "housing", a fruit growing area. There were various Slav people who did the farmwork and fruit picking, the dirty work, and they were referred to as "Hunkies" and "Bohunks" etc. These people are considered White, yet they were treated like shit by the White owning class. Look back into history and you'll some very White people in the US treated like shit - from Swedes (like "dumb Swede" Roger Tory Peterson) to Finns to Irish to what have you. Read about the bloody union battles.
You have to take people on an individual basis. It takes a very pissed off person to start lashing out at abstractions like races anyway, the average person just wants to get along. The powers that be want to keep us busy with these racial wars.
Again it's symptoms you're thinking about, not the disease. Sure we have a flood of illegals coming in, but why? Is it because the powers that be want wages driven down? Is it because the powers that be have essentially destroyed Mexico and points south? Somalis and Ethiopians in the Northeast, what insanity! But remember, it was not the Somalis' and Ethiopians' idea - they were just trying to live life, then for some reason their country is turned upside down, then they are given an offer - move to America and you get soup, stay and no soup. They go. You would do the same.
The hypocrasy where Garrison Keillor can make blatantly racist statements like how he bought expensive jam from a gal at a farmer's market specificially because she's blonde and beautiful and Garmanic and all that, but a working-class White can't ask why his pay is lower than that of less-skilled and less experienced nonwhites, is very evident to me. It's evident to anyone with their eyes open. I know exactly what you are talking about. I have experienced more of it than most people. But it's one of those "many striking at the leaves for every one striking at the root" problems.
