THE NON-"RACIST" NATIONALIST

Diversity doing what is always does — creating awkward moments.

by Brett Stevens

I realize, belatedly, that for most people in the world every issue splits to two options. Either you are pro-“racist,” or anti-“racist,” and things of that type.

I cannot relate to this. I grew up in the South and was taught since my earliest years to be a gentleman. That means a man who speaks the truth without reservation, but also without emotion, including the type of outburst we consider “emotion” but more properly is known as revenge.

LIES, DAMNED LIES, AND RACIAL STATISTICS

Don't worry, numbers can explain this.

by Ryan Andrews

Between 2000 and 2014, the White share of the US population declined from 69.1% to 61.9%. In other words, the non-white share rose from 30.9% to 38.1%.

Lets imagine that over this same period, some state or county went from being 98% to 96% white, from 2% to 4% non-white. 98% to 96% is a smaller decrease than 69.1% to 61.9%, but 2% to 4% is a larger increase (percentage wise) than 30.9% to 38.1%. So how does the local newspaper spin it? Do they say that the local non-white percentage increased faster than the national rate, or that the local white percentage declined slower than the national rate? Both narratives are technically true, though obviously misleading.

RACISM - THE BIG PICTURE

"Look Ma, I'm on Alternative Right."

by Colin Liddell

There are many theories about Racism-as-intended-stigma. Many on the nationalist side view it as part of an evil conspiracy by a shady bunch of hook-nosed gentlemen to weaken a competing ethnic identity. Others see it as part of a selfish conspiracy by business leaders to boost globalism and immigration with a view to depressing the wages of the White working class.

Both of these explanations, as well as others, have elements of plausibility and may even be true at a certain level, but attributing the motive force of Racism to these is rather like believing a car's power comes from its wheels rather than its engine.

To understand Racism you have to step outside it – pretty hard to do because in the modern West it now envelops us – and look at it in its entirety and historical context.

To understand Racism you also have to also step inside it: open up the word and delve inside – also pretty hard to do because in the modern West the word seems to have an obviousness that makes deeper explanations seem willfully pedantic.
