I got to thinking about this when remembering a friend of mine whom I
haven't seen in a while. He is black, has an M.D. and a Ph.D., and is a
cardiothoracic surgeon. He is one of the most intelligent people I know.
He dresses well and is well-mannered. However, he has told me of many
incidents in his life where his race caused him problems. He has seen
white people cross the street to avoid him; police have hassled him;
people driving by in predominately white areas have rolled up the windows
of their car when passing him.
Although I am relatively conservative politically and definitely oppose
affirmative action, I began thinking about the concept of white privilege
again recently. Then, almost as in answer to this thought, I came across
this article on Usenet. I had to agree with at least 75% of the items used
to demonstrate white privilege. I could even think of a few that she
didn't mention. I thought it might interest this newsgroup and provoke
some interesting responses from some of the white racists around here (and
their opponents).
-------------------------
In a book called Critical White Studies: Looking Behind the Mirror, Peggy
McIntosh writes a chapter on white privilege and says:
"After frustration with men who would not recognize male privelege, I
decided to try to work on myself at least by identifying some of hte daily
effects of white privilege in my life. It is crude work, at this stage,
but I will give here a list of special circimstances and conditions
I experience which I did not earn but which I have been made to feel are
mine at birth, by citizenship, and by virtue of being a conscientious
law-abiding "normal" person of good will. I have chosen those conditions
which I think in my case attach somewhat more to skin-color privilege than
to class, religion, ethnic status, or geographical location, though of
course all these other factors are intricately intertwined. As far as I
can see, my Afro-American co-workers, friends, and acquaintances with
whom I come into daily or frequent contact in this particular time, place,
and line of work cannot count on most of these conditions.
1. I can if I wish arrange to be in the company of people of my race most
of the time.
2. I can avoid spending time with people whom I was trained to mistrust
and hwo have learned to mistrust my kind or me.
3. If I should need to move, I can be pretty sure of renting or purchasing
housing in an area which I can afford and in which I would want to live.
4. I can be pretty sure that my neighbors in such a location will be
neutral or pleasant ot me.
5. I can go shopping alone most of the time, pretty well assured that I
will not be followed or harrassed.
6. I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the paper
and see people of my race widely represented.
7. When I am told about our national heritage or about "civilization," I
am shown that people of my color made it what it is.
8. I can be sure that my children will be given curricular materials that
testify to the existence of their race.
9. If I want to, I can be pretty sure of finding a publisher for this
piece on white privilege.
10. I can be pretty sure of having my voice heard in a group in which I
am the only member of my race.
11. I can be casual about whether or not to listen to another woman's
voice in a group in which she is the only member of her race.
12. I can go in to a music shop and count on finding the music of my race
represented, into a supermarket and find the staple foods which fit with
my cultural traditions, into a hairdresser's shop and find someone who can
cut my hair.
13. Whether I use checks, credit cards, or cash, I can count on my skin
color not to work against the appearance of financial reliability.
14. I can arrange to protect my children most of the time from people who
might not like them.
15. I do not have to educate my children to be aware of systemic racism
for their own daily protection.
16. I can be pretty sure that my children's teachers and employers will
tolerate them if they fit school and workplace norms; my chief worries
about them do not concern others' attitudes toward their race.
17. I can talk with my mouth full and not have people put this down to my
color.
18. I can swear, or dress in second hadn clothes, or not answer letters,
without having people attribute these choices to the bad morals, the
poverty, or the illiteracy of my race.
19. I can speak in public to a powerful male group without putting my
race on trial.
20. I can do well in a challenging atmosphere without being called a
credit to my race.
21. I am never asked to speak for all the people of my racial group.
22. I can remain oblivious of the language and customs of persons of
color who constitute the world's majority without feeling in my culture
any penalty for such oblivion.
23. I can criticize our government and talk about how much I fear its
policies and behavior without being seen as a cultural outsider.
24. I can be pretty sure that if I ask to talk to "the person in charge,"
I will be facing a person of my race.
25. If a traffic cop pulls me over or if the IRS audits my tax return, I
can be sure I haven't been singled out because of my race.
26. I can easily buy posters, post-cards, picture books, greeting cards,
dolls, toys, and children's magazines featuring people of my race.
27. I can go home from most meetings of organizations I belong to feeling
somewhat tied in, rather than isolated, out-of-place, outnumbered,
unheard, held at a distance, or feared.
28. I can be pretty sure that an argument with a colleague of another
race is more likely to jeopardize her chances for advancement than to
jeopardize mine.
29. I can be pretty sure that if I argue for the promotion of a person of
antoher race, or a program centered on race, this is not liely to cost me
heavily within my present setting, even if my colleagues disagree with me.
30. If I declare there is a racial issue at hand, or there isn't a racial
issue at hand, my race will lend me more credibility for either position
than a person of color will have.
31. I can choose to ignore developments in minority writing and minority
activist programs, or disparage them, or learn from them, but in any case,
I can find ways to be more or less protected from negative consequences of
any of these choices.
32. My culture give me little fear about ignoring the perspectives and
powers of people of other races.
33. I am not made acutely aware tha my shape, bearing, or body odor will
be taken as a reflection on my race.
34. I can worry about racism without being seen as self-interested or
self-seeking.
35. I can take a job with an affirmative action employer without having
my co-workers on the job suspect that I got it because of my race.
36. If my day, week, or year is going badly, I need not ask of each
negative episode or situation whether it has racial overtones.
37. I can be pretty sure of finding people who would be willing to talk
with me and advise me about my next steps, professionally.
38. I can think over many options, social, political, imaginative, or
professional, without asking whether a perosn of my race would be accepted
or allowed to do what I want to do.
39. I can be late to a meeting without having the lateness reflect on my
race.
40. I can choose public accommodation without fearing that people of my
race cannot get in or will be mistreated in the places I have chosen.
41. I can be sure that if I need legal or medical help, my race will not
work against me.
42. I can arrange my activities so that I will never have to experience
feelings of rejection owing to my race.
43. If I have low credibility as a leader, I can be sure that my race is
not the problem.
44. I can easily find academic courses and institutions which give
attention only to people of my race.
45, I can expect figurative language an dimagery in all of the arts to
testify to experiences of my race.
46. I can schoose blemish cover or bandages in "flesh" color and have
them more or less match my skin.
I repeatedly forgot each of the realizations on this list until I wrote it
down. For me, white privilege has turned out to be an elusive and
fugitive subject. THe pressure to avoid it is great, for in facing it I
must give up the myth of meritocracy. If these things are true this is
not such a free country; one's life is not what one makes it; many doors
open for certain people through no virtues of their own. These
perceptions mean also that my moal condition is not what I had been led to
believe. The appearance of being a good citizen rather than a
troublemaker comes in large part from having all sorts of doors open
automatically because of my color."
-----------------------------
Next time you say that there is no white privilege, think about this. I
could come up with some examples that Peggy McIntosh neglected to mention.

Ah, yes, the ad hominem attack. Always a sign that I hit a nerve. I also
notice that you deleted everything I said and subsituted a rant. Couldn't
even include a small snippet, could you, to give readers an idea of what
it was that I posted that pissed you off so much? Oh, but then the reader
could have seen how your rant has little or nothing to do with what I
posted.
So why don't you just respond to the observations I posted instead of
hurling insults, or is hurling insults all you're capable of? I posted a
series of observations that I came across that I found interesting. I was
interested in hearing how various white racists like yourself would
respond to this. I was hoping that the responses would have some
intelligence. After all, you all seem so passionate about your beliefs;
one would think that you've thought long and hard about them.

Your insistence on calling me "asshole" is getting tiresome, but I guess I
can't expect any better from you, can I?
In any case, could you explain to me just what your tirade (allegedly
about democracy and majority rule) has to do with what I posted? Your rant
may make you feel better, but does not answer the point, which you
conveniently deleted and which was that, if you think about it honestly,
you may come to realize that in the U.S. we whites have privileges that we
may not even aware of simply by virtue of the fact that we are white.
True, these privileges are not nearly as obvious as they were, say, 50
years ago when there were segregated drinking fountains and bathrooms and
"whites-only" restaurants, but they are still there and they are still
substantial. Obviously such a suggestion hit a nerve with you..
Now, to answer your bleatings, yes I am for democracy. Always have been.
It's you who seem to have a problem with it. For one thing, you seem to
forget that even when the proportion of the population of the U.S. that is
white drops below 50% during the next century, whites will still make up
the single largest ethnic/racial group in the U.S. for the forseeable
future and will still control the vast majority of wealth and political
power in this country. So what are you so worried about?

Again, this has nothing to do with what I posted. However, I suspect that
I must have hit a nerve to provoke such a prolonged off-topic rant.
I'm also curious exactly under what circumstances the U.S. was turned over
to the "kike," as you so quaintly put it. Exactly how was this
accomplished and what "kikes" are in control of the United States. Names,
please. No vague ramblings about the dreaded International Jewish
Conspiracy, please.
But to get back on topic, why are you so sensitive about the suggestion
that there might still be privileges that are conferred upon us in society
simply because we are white and not black? Could it be that, if true, such
an observation would undermine the martyr complex that seems to be at the
heart of so many Aryan nationalists' rants and threaten your view of
yourselves as the great white underdogs fighting a valiant struggle to
reclaim "Aryan greatness" from the encroaching brown hordes?

Again, please point out to me where I ever suggested that someone deserves
something for nothing. If you read my post, you would realize that I am
strongly against affirmative action of any kind. Also, I said nothing
about my views on whether or not a white majority is good or not; I merely
posted some interesting observations that I had come across and placed a
slightly provocative title to this thread in the Subject header in order
to attract attention.
The observations I posted had made me think a little bit before I posted
them. Obviously they had the opposite effect on you.

Same old Aryan spew from a loser who's doesn't even have enough courage of
his convictions to post under his own name. I figured I'd probably get a
few flames, but I had expected an occasional intelligent attempt to
address the observation.
How tiresome.

Whatever "privileges" you claim we have are none of your business.
Privileges are non-obligatory benefits that one individual gives to
another. Whatever benefits we Whites want to give each other is our
business.
However, the problem lies in the obligations this government forces
upon us which are clear violations of our rights and liberties. The
non-Whites are not members of my society. Your attempt to secure
legal privileges for them at the expense of my rights are not
legitimate.
The other problem lies in your refusal to recognize that Whites, too,
have human rights and we don't have to accept a political order that
violates them

Funny you should bring that up, jews can't even keep peace treaties with
Palestinians. Matter of fact, you don't even obey the 60+ UN resolutions
that have demanded Israel to leave occupied territory.
But let us remember this happned just 50 years ago, so before you go
breathing down whities neck, better think about yourselves.
ISREAL WILL PERISH ONE DAY. Heck, it might even perish once white America
has been turned into turd world America, after all, South Africa and Israel
had loose ties until Nelson Mendella came into office, then he turned around
and became friends with Syria instead of Israel.
Think about the future, non-whites do have bones to pick with you kikes,
matter of fact, most non-whites do view your filthy horde as whites. Sane
whites hate everything about your kind, if only whites stopped feeling
sympathy for your kind. What wonderful things would happen in return.

Why not? I'm white.

What does this have to do with my point that, despite the protestations to
the contrary of Aryan nationalists, there are still substantial benefits
in this nation to being perceived as white, as opposed to being perceived
as nonwhite.

And why not? They're just as much citizens of the U.S. as you or me.

What rights have I said that whites should give up? (Please note before
replying, in case in your haste to flame me you didn't bother to read my
entire previous post, that I am strongly against all affirmative action.
So please don't even mention it in your response, or I will have to
conclude that you are embarking on a strawman argument.)

Please list specific ways that the present political order violates the
human rights of whites. Please do not spend any more than one brief
paragraph on affirmative action.
Given those restrictions, I'm betting your response will be exactly one
paragraph long--if you stick to the restriction, of course.

Why are you even bothering to ask for a reason? You've already said

an "Aryan nation."

I had noticed that. They seem to think that if you're not out in Montana
somewhere in a shack fighting for an "Aryan nation" with a bunch of inbred
racists you're not a "real" white person (whatever that is). In fact, they
fail to grasp that the whole concept of being "white" is rather
meaningless, anyway. As I have shown in discussions with Phillips, how
race is defined is almost completely arbitrary and has little, if any,
meaning in biology or evolution.
When "Aryan nationalists" talk about "white," they seem to mean someone
with a lighter complexion and Caucasoid features who happens to share
their political views regarding how these features somehow make them
superior to those with darker complexions and more African or Asiatic
features, therefore necessitating a separate "Aryan state." Those with
lighter complexions who, like most people, happen to think they're a bunch
of Nazi crackpots are dismissed as "not the right kind" of white people.

As well any moral person should.
If blacks, or any other non-white had built a civilization worth
living in, you would see the same things... they would make dolls of
their own race for their largest consumers -- themselves.
I don't feel the need to address each "privilege" you specified,
because it follows the same logic as above... wake up.

Wait a minute! A complaint that I hear constantly from Aryan nationalists
is that whites are becoming marginalized, that minorities and/or Jews
and/or the liberals are taking over, that whites "don't count" any more.
Here I post some ways in which being white has a clear advantage and
produces privileges and you say that it is because we are in a "white
nation" and imply that this is the way it should be.
So, Aryan nationalists, which is it? Are we living in a "white nation"
with clear white privileges (in which case your entire desire for an
"Aryan nation" is unnecessary and even rather silly because we would
already be living in one) or are minorities taking over and pushing
"whites" back to the fringes?
You can't have it both ways. But you seem to want to.
Now *that's* an idiotic argument.

And I don't feel the need to address your point again, because I have
already done so. (See above.)

So what? Just because it has "meaning" to *you* does not mean that it has
any real biological significance and it certainly does not make it an
acceptable or viable basis for a state.
>It is the
>basis of my society, self-definition and all that I hold to be good.
Well whoop-de-doo!
Here's a test: define white in a way that I can tell if someone is "white"
when I see him. At exactly WHAT shade of skin pigment does one cease to be
black, brown, red, or yellow and magically become "white"?
This should be an easy question for you to answer if it is the basis of
your society, self-definition, and all you hold to be good, shouldn't it?
The exact shade you pick, of course, will be entirely arbitrary, because
skin color is not bimodal; it various continuously along a spectrum from
very dark to very light.
So you base your self-definition, your society, and all that you hold to
be good on an arbitrary color of skin and an arbitrary set of physical
characteristics. That's a pretty flimsy thing to place all that weight
upon, don't you think?

This is a near-meaningless definition. Even if it were correct, it would
be incredibly rare because each and every race (including the "white" race
is mongrel, with evidence of extensive interbreeding). There is no such
thing as a true "lineal ethnic group." Therefore, I repeat: define "white"
in such a way that I can tell who is and is not "white."
"I'll know it when I see it" and "it's white if I say it's white" are NOT
acceptable answers.

An "American" is a citizen of the United States, whether native born or
naturalized. It's just that simple. The freedoms granted in the
Constitution guarantee that we Americans will be a rather diverse lot,
even if we were all "white," just the way you and your Aryan nationalist
buddies fantasize about. In fact, we've always been a rather diverse lot,
at least as far as opinions go.
Get used to it, because it's not going to change. Certainly not because of
anything you do.

We have rights to own property individually and collectively and to
not include in that ownership anyone that we desire to exclude.
Those property rights include the right to acquire, utilize and
release property in ways that we see fit. Under the current
government, those rights are denied us.
We have a right to practice and distribute our culture freely. This
government restricts the expression of our culture and tries to
impose values that are contrary to our nation. This government
indoctrinates our young in beliefs that lead to the dissolution of our
national identity in order to include foreign nationals into its
borders.
We have rights to form political organizations and institutions that
serve our national interests. This government denies us our rights
leading to the absense of those organizations.
This government denies us public institutions (often funded by us)
in order to deny us cultural institutions.
This government utilizes violent force, often leading to death or
loss of property, against those who refuse to accept its attempts
to destroy our nation.
This government violates the premises on which the US Constitution
was founded in order to create a nation hostile to our interests.
This government taxes at rates approaching 50% of our income and
distributes it in ways that are contrary to White national interests.
This is accomplished via force and property seizure.

The issue is based on my belief that you are confusing "privilege"
with "right."
For you to put forth some kind of testimonial about a friend (whom
you claim has been discriminated against and not received equal
privilege) implies to me that you view that those things should be
rights. Therefore, in this context, I believe that you are positing
that your non-White friend has a right to those things (i.e. to not
have Whites try to cross the street when they see him, to not
have police "hassled" him when they are probably really doing their
job, to not have people driving by in predominately white areas roll
up the windows of their car when passing him). Since your are
making claims that these are occuring, I have assumed that you
are stating that he has a right to not have these things happen.
My point is that he has no right to have me like him. He has no
right to have me befriend him. He has no right for me to not
roll up my windows when I see him).
Finally, this is a Usenet discussion, not a proper debate. You
do not conduct yourself properly for such discussion because
you are vague in your claims. Therefore, I must assume certain
things. Are you claiming that he does have a right to not be disliked?

That's a ridiculous argument. Being White has meaning to me. It is the
basis of my society, self-definition and all that I hold to be good.
Your multi-racial empire is largely meaningless to me. What little
meaning it does hold is entirely negative in my eyes.

As is typical, you define race out of existence. I define race as:

It is meaningful to me.

So, when "US Imperialists" talk about "American" they seem to mean
anyone, without any criteria, who may hate you or not, who may like
the same things as you, or who may hate them, who may be working for
the same kind of future or who might be working to destroy all that
you hold to be good. I think that an "American" is meaningless in that
way.

My definition of Whiteness is:
White means any of the people derived from the Celtic,
Germanic or Slavic peoples of Europe who share a
common ethnicity based on their blood relationship. As
we use it, White (note capital first letter) refers to a
particular lineal ethnic group or one of the members of
this group. It has two components: lineage and ethnicity.
Members of this ethnic group must have an acceptable
lineage (one having negligible amounts of non-European
blood) and a self-identity based on that lineage.
>The exact shade you pick, of course, will be entirely arbitrary, because
>skin color is not bimodal; it various continuously along a spectrum from
>very dark to very light.
Bullshit. As I understand it, skincolor is coded in 16 alleles in two
genes. Any way you look at it skin color is a discrete property.
Anyways, although skin color is a component of being White, it
is not the sole criteria.
>So you base your self-definition, your society, and all that you hold to
>be good on an arbitrary color of skin and an arbitrary set of physical

No, I don't. Like I said, skin color is a component but not the
sole determininant. For example, there are Koreans and
Japanese who have skin color that is the same color as
the skin of some people whom I call White but they are
not White. Skin color is not the sole determinant.
I would say that lineage and ancestry are the more important
factors and that those things that you claim are the determinants
are, in fact, merely indicators of the true determinant: ancestry.

"Mongrel?" Is that a biological term? Please provide biological proof

Then there is a problem with your understanding of when an
ethnic group is "true" and what "true" means.

No.
I've heard this ridiculous banter of yours from many knee-jerk
liberals in the past and it is a poor argument: Garbage-in,
garbage out. Your premises are wrong.
First, there is no single factor that defines Whiteness. Whiteness,
being a product of lineage is reflected in a pattern of traits. That
pattern is approximated by a light skin color (which can be
accurately defined once a full understanding of the genetic
basis of human traits is understood), certain patterns of skull
shape, physical makeup, blood types, and other human traits.
Second, even were I to say "Whiteness is characterized by
traits A, B and C, you would still say you are unsatisfied since
you really don't care about a definition. Your goal is not really
to understand Whiteness, but to defame it.
Third, Whiteness is an ethnicity like any other.
>"I'll know it when I see it" and "it's white if I say it's white" are NOT
>acceptable answers.
They are to me. You have false premises that are reflected in your
rant for a "true" definition.
>>It is meaningful to me.
>
>Well yippee! An arbitrarily-defined concept is "meaningful" to you!
>
>I'm supposed to be impressed by this?
Yes. I don't really care whether you are impressed or not. All
concepts are "arbitrarily" defined. If you knew anything about
logic, you would realize that a definition precedes reason. Therefore,
definitions are not subject to logical criteria; they are the axioms
of postulates.
>An "American" is a citizen of the United States, whether native born or
>naturalized. It's just that simple.
Ever heard of circular reasoning? You've just demonstrated it. You
define the word "American" exactly as you want it to mean and then
use that as proof of your argument.
Definitions are arbitrary. You just defined it that way and now you
say that it is a fact.
I don't accept your definition of American. An American is an
ethnic nationality of certain White people in North America.
>The freedoms granted in the
>Constitution guarantee that we Americans will be a rather diverse lot,

First, the constitution is no better than a piece of toilet paper.
Being one of those "living documents," it is deader than dead
since it is interpreted anyway those in power want to do so.
Second, the constitution is guarantee of nothing. The courts
have justified all manner of tyranny by it despite the obvious
intent of those who created it.
Third, the Supreme Court has ruled time and time again
that the Constitution only permits Whites to be citizens and
that the United States was created to benefit Whites. The
real constitution was destroyed by that great imperialist war
which is often called the "Civil War" although it was not
civil in any meaning of the word.

My nation is the nation of Thomas Jefferson and the other founders of

you hold in contempt all of the ideals those people held.

No, it is you who hold the American nation in contempt. I respect the

BZZZZT! Wrong answer. I was not discussing whether or not *you* have to
extend privileges of any kind to me. I was discussing privileges that
whites in the U.S. are given--often without them being aware of it. They
take them for granted, and the people extending them to other whites also
take them for granted. That's why it's hard to get people to admit they
exist.
However, here's a question. If "white privilege" does not exist, then what
color you are shouldn't really matter. If you could keep your present
personality, level of intelligence, job, income, status in society etc.,
would it matter to you if you were black or white?
The answer is obvious: You'd rather be white because there are many
advantages to it and many disadvantages to being black, all related simply
because society at large will treat you differently depending upon whether
you are black or white.

How, specifically? I'll buy the premise that the government nowadays
appears to be subverting the Constitution when it comes to basic rights.
RICO comes to mind as a big example. So do abuses by the IRS, including
property seizure without due process. However, these are violations of
freedom that affect every citizen. I do not see how they specifically are
hostile to "white interests" (whatever that means).

How is this *specifically* contrary to "white national interests"?
Confiscatory tax rates affect *all* citizens, regardless of race. In fact,
white people, who tend to be better off economically, are probably better
able to shelter their income from the IRS than minorities.

I'm not, but if it will make it any clearer to you I'll substitute the

Wrong. I'm positing that, in present-day U.S., whites still have
advantages/privileges not shared by non-whites. The story was used simply
as one example. There are many others. I never mentioned "rights" and have
not confused "rights" with "privileges" or "advantages."
>Therefore, in this context, I believe that you are positing

No, he has the "right" not to be hassled by the government or police
because of his race. This is supposed to be guaranteed by the
Constitution. He has the "disadvantage" of being hassled because of his
color by whites who see him as a threat simply because of his color.
Whites generally don't have to put up with this kind of crap, because most
people, whether they admit it or not, tend to view whites in a more benign
way and blacks with suspicion. In that, there is a large inherent
"advantage" or "privilege" to being white.

Bullshit. That is not what I said. I was simply pointing out that as a
white person, I don't have to put up with this kind of crap. Because he is
black, he does. I used this as an example.
>Finally, this is a Usenet discussion, not a proper debate. You

You conduct yourself very well for a Usenet discussion. You twist my words
and use straw man arguments, which are typical Usenet "discussion"
tactics, especially on alt.revisionism. You fit right in here. I notice
that you did not post the original anecdote so that readers could judge
for themselves. It's not that long, so I'll refresh your memory:
"I got to thinking about this when remembering a friend of mine whom I
haven't seen in a while. He is black, has an M.D. and a Ph.D., and is a
cardiothoracic surgeon. He is one of the most intelligent people I know.
He dresses well and is well-mannered. However, he has told me of many
incidents in his life where his race caused him problems. He has seen
white people cross the street to avoid him; police have hassled him;
people driving by in predominately white areas have rolled up the windows
of their car when passing him."
Where in there did I mention a "right" not to have people dislike him? I
merely pointed out that they do and used that point in my discussion of
"white privilege" (or "advantage," if you prefer).
>Therefore, I must assume certain
>things. Are you claiming that he does have a right to not be disliked?
No, I'm claiming that simply because of his color, he IS disliked by many
whites, even though he has two advanced degrees, is a respected member of
his profession, law-abiding, and far more intelligent, well-spoken, and
well-mannered than 99.9% of the population, white or black.
I mentioned this example and posted the other examples solely to
demonstrate that, despite the bleatings of Aryan nationalists about how
whites supposedly no longer count for much, there are still a great many
privileges that whites have simply because they are white. Perhaps
"advantages" would be a better word, but the point remains. If whites "no
longer count" or are becoming "marginalized," then why are there still so
many advantages that one has based solely on his perceived race?

Most definitely. White society is good and the list you provided

White society will offer fewer of those benefits.

Because all interests cannot be promoted equally. If you promote

I think that what I said was specific enough. However, to make it
more concrete. I have a right to buy property and refuse to sell it
to a non-White even if the US gov't denies that right of me. I have
a right to do sell my property to whomever (and to not release my
property to whomever) I choose. That means that I don't have to
sell the goods in my shop to non-Whites even though the US gov't
denies that right of me. I have a right to demand that taxes taken
from me be used for the benefit of my society, even if the Gov't
wants that society destroyed. I have a right to associate myself
with others of my nation and buy property collectively with them
and deny access, use, sale and acquisition of that property by
and to non-Whites even if the US gov't denies that right to me.
Additionally, the current regime refuses to recognize legitimate
contracts which are contrary to its multi-racial social goals.

We have the right to form communities and establish representative
government. We are not obligated to include non-Whites and we
may institute those laws that benefit our community. The current
government denies those things of us.
>>This government denies us public institutions (often funded by us)
>>in order to deny us cultural institutions.
>
>How, specifically?
It denies that our tax dollars be used only to serve White interests.
It has taken all public institutions and "integrated" them in order
to eliminate our nation. It has refused to recognize laws that we
have instituted to benefit our nation and used violence to eliminate
defiance.
It claims ownership over local schools, denying that they be used
in the manner that the community desires.
>>This government utilizes violent force, often leading to death or
>>loss of property, against those who refuse to accept its attempts

>
>When, where, and how specifically?
Starting with the "Civil" war and continuing to this day it uses its
violence. Where it doesn't use explicit military violence, it uses
police violence or IRS trickery to disenfranchise its opponents.
In order to implement its Brown vs. School Board fiasco, it
used the US Army to forcibly integrate our schools.
>How, specifically? I'll buy the premise that the government nowadays
>appears to be subverting the Constitution when it comes to basic rights.
Most assuredly. However, the Constitution was designed as a document
to represent White interests (see the Dred Scott decision). In
refusing to recognize that, it denies us our most vital national
institution.
>RICO comes to mind as a big example. So do abuses by the IRS, including

Some of them were instituted specifically to destroy White
institutions. More generally, the Federal Gov't and all that
it has implemented in the past 50 to 100 years is all diseased
and rotten, affecting most those who have lived under its rule
for the longest.
>How is this *specifically* contrary to "white national interests"?
White interests are fivefold:
Political - the policy forming and enforcing institutions
which serve our nation. It has sought to replace all
pro-White institutions with imperial multi-racial
institutions. To other people, this would not be as
disastrous but since our culture was intertwined with
our political institutions, denying those institutions has
resulted in near ethnic extinction.
Cultural - Our people's social program of existencd. It has
implemented propaganda programs, retrained our youth,
promoted ideas contrary to our cultural existence and
refused to assume its proper role as our national
representative.
Economic - material necessities and the means to
acquire them. It has manimpulated the economy of
North America so as to enfranchise foreigners, while
denying economic power to pro-Whites. It has done
so by denying our property rights, denying intra-state
commerce and by enfranchising those opposed to
our nation.
Population - It promotes inter-marrying, striking down
those laws which were established to minimize
intermarriage with non-Whites. It has debased the
institutions of marriage and imported millions of
non-Whites.
Territory - It imports millions of non-Whites, allows
foreigners to own and control our territory and
and denies us the ability to establish territorial
communities.
>Confiscatory tax rates affect *all* citizens, regardless of race.
Granted, but that does not mean that the impact is equal
to all people or ethnic groups.
> In fact, white people, who tend to be better off economically,

Again, the impact must be looked at both collectively and
individually. For Whites, the impact has meant that most of
them, for financial reasons, delay child rearing. This results
in the decimation of White population. Whites are a declining
population with less self-determination.
>But you haven't given anything except vague generalities.
It will take a long time to address each of the issues in depth.
I assure you that I can do so. I tend to reason from the general
to the specific (in other words, deductively). Additionally, some
of these generalizations are the result of previous research and
study and will take time to re-acquire the specifics. Of course,
I would have to believe that you have serious interest in
examining these issues before I would want to extend any
significant effort to outline them.

That's fine, I don't want to hear non-White sob stories. I don't
care about them.
However, the issue regarding "advantages" and "privileges"
points out one reason why Whites should not want a multi-racial
society. Many of those advantages would cease to exist if non-Whites
ruled over us.
>No, he has the "right" not to be hassled by the government or police

Only by the 14th Amendment. In the Dred Scott decision, the supreme
court ruled that Blacks don't have any rights or claims to benefits
(roughly). Read it yourself to see the true origin and intent of the
constitution.
> He has the "disadvantage" of being hassled because of his

Oh right, and we Whites are hassled because we're White.
Bullshit. Every opportunity is used to re-educate and sensitize us.
Every opportunity is used to belittle our society and us as
individuals. Every opportunity is taken to use our own tax dollars to
advance the interests of non-Whites. Every opportunity is taken to
attempt to make Whites feel guilty and give up their society to
foreigners.

Bullshit. I've been through a myriad of institutions in this country
in which, because I was a White, I was forced to put up with all
manner of defamation, accusations and bullshit. When I was in
sixth grade I was called a Nazi by my school teacher because I
dared say that the U.S. Gov't should enforce its immigration laws.
>Bullshit. That is not what I said. I was simply pointing out that as a
>white person, I don't have to put up with this kind of crap. Because he is

I don't know what you mean "put up with." Non-Whites have all manner
of organizations which coddle and protect them from the slightest
attack on their self-esteem. No such institutions are promoted for
Whites. All I have to do is say "nigger" in public and it is quite
likely that I will be investigated by the gov't.

Great. He does not have such a right and don't try to claim that he
does. Since he doesn't have that right, he has no legitimate claim
on me that I should treat him any way other than as the non-white
he is.

Right, all of those benefits and privileges are the result of many
Whites continued commitment to a white society. Non-Whites need
not apply.

Because the government was established for our benefit and because we
choose to extend benefits and privileges to other Whites which we
refuse to extend to non-Whites (and those who seek to destroy
non-White society). You show many of the intangible benefits of White
society. I look forward to a Whiter and brighter society which brings
yet more benefits and goodness to my nation.

Funny... I've never known Art to be an anti-racist... but then, he

him...

: No.
Translation: I can't define what White is.

: being a product of lineage is reflected in a pattern of traits.
Care to identify any of these traits?

False. Your goal is to defame anything non-White.
: Third, Whiteness is an ethnicity like any other.
No. Polish, Irish, Spanish, English, Canadian-French, and Parisian
French are examples of ethnicities (those are my ethnicities). "White"
is defined as a racial category, with political meaning attached to it,
even though there are no races among humans.
: >>It is meaningful to me.

Tell that to a mathematician, and he'll laugh for days on end.

And here we see the core of Art's White supremacist beliefs summed
up all in one statement.

Oh come on. You White haters can't get anything straight. First,
you say that race doesn't exist and then you say it does. Get
your act together.
Ethnicity is a cultural self-identity. That is what Whiteness is.
Race, by at least one of the recognized definitions is equivalent
to ethnicity. Therefore, as usual, you are wrong.

I apologize; the question was implicit, because it was raised

If you can't define it, your race-based assertions go out the window.
As an activist regarding this issue, I certainly care about it.

Too vague a question to be answered here. Check out my homepage if

Dodging again. In addition, Art, you don't allow for a dialogue.
You don't listen. That is a necessity for a dialogue.

: Oh come on. You White haters can't get anything straight.
Art, you have no business calling anyone a "White hater". Not to
mention, calling me one is greatly inaccurate. I know *EXACTLY* who I am,
and I am proud of who I am. As such, I don't hold prejudices against
those different from me, and can appreciate them for who they are. This is
not the case with you.

Art, you are the one who needs to get your act together. You show
here, as you have before, that context is a foreign concept to you.
Race is not biological, not among humans anyway. It is a political
construct. This is clear from what I posted.
: Ethnicity is a cultural self-identity. That is what Whiteness is.

False. Race and ethnicity are not the same. As I said, race is a
political construct. Ethnicity is not.

This is completely false. You may have stated that you aren't a White

Now, Art, would you care to show exactly where I said such a thing?
Or will you admit that you are lying once again?
Meantime, let me add this. Whites do get discriminated against; some
implementations of Affirmative Action do that (those in the form of
quotas); and to say that non-Whites can't be racist is ridiculous. But
this is nothing compared to what non-Whites experience. Answer these
questions:
How many times has a cop stopped you on the road, and tried his
best to come up with some reason to have pulled you over,
when you were simply driving along just fine? Furthermore,
how many times have you been beaten by a cop when you did
absolutely nothing but go about your business?
How many times have you gone into a store and had an employee
follow you around, despite the fact that you were simply
looking around, and did nothing to even remotely indicate
that you might be "up to no good"?
How many times has an empty cab passed you over, and picked up
someone just up the road?
There are more things than this; these are just the first ones that
come to mind.

NU is Northeastern University. And frankly, I don't think you really

Why is that good? Needless to say, you missed my point (big shock)-
that these organizations alone haven't solved the problems, though you
seem to think that because they exist, everything is "all fine and dandy".

Hello H. Ross Perot... and Art, I stand by what I said. Your hatred
of people who aren't White- human beings just like yourself- and your
responses to Whites who have called you out for the White supremacist
that you are illustrate that you hate White people.

So you agree that everyone should be treated with respect? This isn't
enough; you need to put this into action, your money where your mouth is.

That is exactly what part of my point was: that as blacks, simply because
they are black, are treated with a great deal of disrespect compared to
those who are perceived as "white." For the most part, the people who do
this are not even aware that they are doing it or that they are the
beneficiaries of the advantages of being perceived as "white."
White nationalists will rail and rant about how supposedly whites are
marginalized and treated with disrespect, and that blacks and minorities
are marginalizing them, but I bet that there's not a single white
nationalist here who would trade places with ANY black person for even one
day.

No Aryan nationalist or racist I have ever encountered can demonstrate
with actual scientific evidence (pseudoscience doesn't count) that race
has any significant biological significance among humans--other than
melanin levels in a person's skin...
[Nothing of consequence other than a bunch of sarcastic comments that danced
around the point being made.]
Sorry you got yourself all in a snit over my post. However, despite all
your sarcasm, you seem to have missed the point, and all but a couple of
your counter-examples are completely ridiculous.
Read the post again, and maybe you'll get the point. It isn't too complicated.
Oh, BTW, enjoy your trip.

I am not dodging. I have a limited amount of time and effort and I
hardly want to waste it on you. However; I am willing to engage
in dialog with you if you would like to do that. However, again,
I have limited time and I will answer at a pace that I feel is
legitimate. Apparently, unlike you, I have a full-time job and
I occassionally check out the newsgroups.

It's because of several factors. One of them is my time and
effort and the apparent gain I would receive in answering
your questions.
> Art, you have no business calling anyone a "White hater". Not to

I have every business to call you a White hater because that is what
you are. Yes; that is an ad-hominem but it is also an accurate
portrayal of what you are. That you deny that truth doesn't make it
any less true.

Great. I know exactly who I am and I am proud of who I am. I don't
pretend that I don't hold prejudices against those different from me
because I know it is impossible. Yes, Phil, even you have prejudices.
Additionally, I can tell you right now that you understand very little
about me to be making statements of the nature you just made.
> Art, you are the one who needs to get your act together. You show

Was that another of your "implied" statements?
I assure you I understand context very well. I have spent many
years studying languages both natural and computational. I have
implemented several programs which are able to do context-sensitive
parsing of natural languages and I understand what context is and
how it works.

Race is both biological and ethnological. Just because you say
otherwise doesn't make it true. I challenge you to prove your
statement that "Race is not biological, not among humans anyway.
It is a political construct." Please, PROVE this. Do you know anything
about proofs? I assure you, being a previous math major and student
of artificial intelligence that I understand proofs. I challenge you
to make a valid proof.

I don't care what you said. You are not my dictionary. You can define
all manner of things and I am under no obligation to accept your
definitions. Just because YOU claim that race is a political construct
doesn't make it true. Finally, what *I* mean by race may not be the

Phil, in legitimate debate there is a standard of proof which requires
that he who makes the positive statement is obligated to prove it.
You claim that my words in my posts "really tell the story." Please,
using words and passages from my posts, prove your statement.
Please, show some intellectual honesty.

I don't think you would understand what "scientific" proof is.
Additionally, I have repeatedly denied that melanin levels in a
person's skin is the basis of my racism. Therefore, again, you
make baseless and false accusations.
Let me address this issue roughly. This is not intended to be
my final word on the issue, but then again, you won't hear my
final word because you're not worth my effort.
However, let me make merely one statement regarding, "significant
biological significance." Something is biologically significant when
it aids the propagation of genes. Do you disagree with this?
Therefore, there are a whole number of things which you might
feel are wrong, but which are nonetheless "biologically significant."
Biologists have found, for example, that infanticide is a
"biologically significant" behavior among many animals since it
results in the propagation of genes more effectively. Do you
understand the meaning of "biological significance" in this
context?
Therefore, racism, whether as an innate behavioral trait or as
a socially-learned behavior is biologically significant since it
often promotes a whole manner of "biologically significant"
behaviors. Do you disagree with this?

I certainly wouldn't want to. Anti-racists rail and rant about how
we're supposed to hate being what we are. We don't. I like being
White, White is good, and non-White is bad. I don't want to do
anything bad.

Phil, you appear completely incapable of making reasonable
conclusions. I was parodying you because you made a baseless
accusation. Where have I ever said that non-Whites weren't
discriminated against because of their skin? Please, show me.
I was parodying you because ***** YOU ******* made a strawman
argument. You throw terms around as if you understand what they
mean but it is obvious that you don't because you don't seem to
be able to recognize those behaviors in yourself.
However, it is my position that Whites have a right to discriminate
against non-whites and that it is a violation of our rights to deny
it.

Whites do get discriminated against.

Never, because I am careful about abiding by laws. However, many of
my White friends (previous friends) have been stopped under those
circumstances. My cousin was beaten by the LAPD; several of my
friends have been beaten by police (P.S. all of my friends are White).

A store owner has a right to observe people within their premises.
Are you saying that they don't?

Several times. However, I recognize as legitimate the desire of taxi

I don't care. Discrimation of that sort is legitimate to me. I dont'

Whoa, wonderful stereotypical "We are not White, look how racist the US

Yippy! That one works all the time! Guilt trip away.
A sub topic of that topic:
Is that why Black hair care products are 5 times more likely to be marked
with "security magnetic tags" than White hair care products?
Should we have equal "security" on all products even though the products
don't statistically have the same rate of theft? Or perhaps a "Non-White"
should not have to go through the tag detectors since that might be
considered racist.

Should the cab drivers have this discretion?
Remember, depending on which city you live in, most cab drivers are not
White. Are they racists against their own brothers?
As if you were a cab driver you would want to pick up someone that look
like they would rob you. You truly are enlightened!
In fact pizza stores don't deliver to certain communities because of the
high crime rate. Some pizza stores have been taken to court because of
"discrimination", but they showed that their drivers were at a MUCH higher
risk of being shot, stabbed, and robbed. There you go Phil....you should
open up a pizza shop in the middle of Compton and Harlem. You can call it
"Enlightened Pizza".

: Whoa, wonderful stereotypical "We are not White, look how racist the US

A guilt trip has nothing to do with this Jeff. The truth of the
matter is what I'm interested in.

Jeff, you have a serious reading problem. I posed a question, for
one thing; and in addition, I never have, and never will, say that this
*always* happens to people who aren't White. I know plenty of Blacks
personally who have never experienced this.
: > How many times have you gone into a store and had an employee
: > follow you around, despite the fact that you were simply
: > looking around, and did nothing to even remotely indicate

: Yippy! That one works all the time! Guilt trip away.
And Jeff continues to dodge the subject.
: A sub topic of that topic:

I'd be interested in the source of this.

Your question doesn't follow. *EVERYONE* should have to go through
a tag detector. I have never said or implied otherwise. If you say I
have, then you have a serious reading problem.
: > How many times has an empty cab passed you over, and picked up
: > someone just up the road?
: Should the cab drivers have this discretion?
Plenty of Black people can tell stories of being passed up even in
broad daylight and dressed in a suit as though going to or coming from
an important business engagement.
: Remember, depending on which city you live in, most cab drivers are not
: White. Are they racists against their own brothers?
If they do it because of the race of the person, yes. Blacks aren't
immune from racism, including against their own- just as Whites like you
aren't immune from being racist against other Whites.
: In fact pizza stores don't deliver to certain communities because of the

The point, Jeff, is if this is done because of race. There are
parts of my home city, Chelsea, that I would never want to be at night,
and they include very White parts of the city. But my reason is not race;
it is what goes on in those parts, just like with areas of the city where
many Latino/as reside, and where I would never want to be.
Of course, I'll fare a little better in my career than starting a
pizza shop...

Then why are you such a racist?
In any case, you're again twisting the point around. I never said that
"white" is not good and "non-white" is good. Neither are any better than
the other, nor should they be. Unfortunately, you don't seem to comprehend
that simple truth. You also seem unable to understand that being non-white
is a big disadvantage in this country and being white is a significant
advantage. Even affirmative action did not change that.
: I disagree with you.
Well, Art, you haven't lived in a Black man's shoes, so I guess you
wouldn't know what it's like.

No. That many aren't aware of it is a problem in trying to address
the issue, because many of those folks will deny it.

Once again, Art, you are wrong.

Since Blacks are responsible for most of the crime, I don't have
any problem with any of the above. If the Blacks were innocent it is bad
that they were hassled, but this must take second place to fighting crime.
I am for racial separation. This would solve all the problems above.
Why wouldn't Blacks want their own nation? Is it because they don't want to
live with other Blacks?

You don't know what I understand. In fact, I used to be pretty

I'm smarter and more realistic. I've grown up and become a
racist.

: Since Blacks are responsible for most of the crime, I don't have
: any problem with any of the above. If the Blacks were innocent it is bad
: that they were hassled, but this must take second place to fighting crime.
It's not fighting crime if this happened when they were merely minding
their own business.
If a cop stops someone who is driving under the speed limit, and not
driving dangerously in any way, it's not "fighting crime".
If someone is simply looking at items in a store, shadowing him/her
around throughout their trip in the store is not "fighting crime".
Passing up someone on account of their skin color is not "fighting
crime", especially considering that cab drivers don't have the authority
to arrest anyone.
Let me share a story that I heard in my Race and Social Identity course
this past quarter, by a biracial woman from Maine. One day, she and a White
friend of hers got stopped by a cop. Her friend was driving the car, and
thus the officer asked her to get out of the car and talked to her. He
proceeded to ask her if that was a Black girl in the car with her. When
she replied in the affirmative, he ordered her out as well, and searched
the car.
This story is not unlike countless other ones I've heard. It doesn't
happen to every Black person; but that it happens at all is a problem. It
would be one thing if there was a good reason to stop someone on the road
(driving very fast, unsafe lane changing, etc.), or to shadow someone in a
store (the person has a lot of bags on hand, or exhibits any behavior that
may raise a red flag). It's another thing to do something like this just
because of the person's skin color.
You are basically condoning people acting on prejudices they hold.
: I am for racial separation. This would solve all the problems above.
It would solve it on one level; and in addition, this solution is at
the cost of giving in to ignorance.
: Why wouldn't Blacks want their own nation? Is it because they don't want
: to live with other Blacks?
This is STUPID. Even in a diverse nation, Blacks CAN live with other
Blacks. Did you ever think of that one?
Many Black people I know personally don't care about the skin color
of those they associate/work/live with; they only care that the people
are decent people, and that treat them with the same respect they want to
be treated.
: > Too vague a question to be answered here. Check out my homepage if
: >you want a summation on this.

You wanted an answer to the question, and I supplied one (though it's
admittedly not a direct answer, just one that I think can be better
answered through consulting my homepage, since it is a reflection of me).

Art, I know we live in a digital world (for those reading this post
who aren't initiated, it means a case of things being 1/0, one or the other/
nothing in between, etc.), but you carry it to extremes. Perhaps you're
unaware that
a) Analog is not dead
b) The fact is that just about everything is not black and white,
but has gray area, and usually the gray area *IS* the issue.
I'll address your silly idea that I am a White hater, when you are
the hater, below.
: > I know *EXACTLY* who I am, and I am proud of who I am. As such,
: > I don't hold prejudices against those different from me, and can

: Great. I know exactly who I am and I am proud of who I am.
This is false. Otherwise, you would be able to accept other people
who are different from you, as well as those like you.
This is reflected in your White supremacist views (which I'll outline
below where you ask for evidence of them), as well as your calling any
White person who calls you out for the White supremacist hater that you
are a "White hater". In your mind, it is either one or the other; if a
person agrees with you and subscribes to White supremacy, they are good;
if they disagree, they are a White hater.
You really need to examine your identity, Art. Try reading Janet E.
Helms' book regarding a model for it, entitled "Black and White Racial
Identity: Theory, Research and Practice" (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press,
1990). Based on your posts, you hold a negative model for White identity-
that the only model is one of believing in White supremacy, which is the
same idea held by, among others, the New Abolitionists. You believe that
Whiteness is all about privilege. Sorry, Art, it's not. (Exactly why I
do not support the New Abolitionists; I believe there can be a positive
White identity.) I know that being of European descent is not all about
feeling that I'm superior to others, and that I should treat those
different from me as though they are less than I am.
: I don't pretend that I don't hold prejudices against those different from
: me because I know it is impossible. Yes, Phil, even you have prejudices.
I'll admit, you got me there. I've even admitted this before, so I'll
take that back. What I will say is that I don't act on those prejudices,
as you do.
: Additionally, I can tell you right now that you understand very little
: about me to be making statements of the nature you just made.
In that case, the same goes for you and the statements you make about
me, Mr. Hypocrite.
: > Art, you are the one who needs to get your act together. You show
: > here, as you have before, that context is a foreign concept to you.
: Was that another of your "implied" statements?
:
: I assure you I understand context very well.
Your posts show otherwise. Your snipping part of this doesn't help
your cause, since you snipped the part where your inability to understand
context was evident.
I originally said:
: >"White" is defined as a racial category, with political meaning
: >attached to it, even though there are no races among humans.
The context of the word "race" was perfectly clear- it was perfectly
clear that I was discussing race as a political construct, and I always
make it clear that when I say race doesn't exist among humans, it is in a
biological context. That you miss the distinction is not my fault.
: I have spent many years studying languages both natural and
: computational.
Damn, Art. You and I could have been a dynamic team that could have
made great compilers to make programming so much easier (one of my
research interests is compilers, and I'm hoping to take a close look at
them during this next co-op during my spare time, and possibly do some
research in graduate school). Oh well...
: > Race is not biological, not among humans anyway. It is a political
: > construct. This is clear from what I posted.
: Race is both biological and ethnological. Just because you say
: otherwise doesn't make it true. I challenge you to prove your
: statement that "Race is not biological, not among humans anyway.
: It is a political construct."
I'll give you a little something to think about on this. I've said
before that a look at history shows that race is political, and it still
is today. This is taken from J. Jones, "Prejudice and Racism", 2nd ed.
(pp. 345-347)
"...in terms of blood type distribution, in Group 2 (they divide
up "racial groups" in different ways), Europeans are more like
Africans, Asians, and American Indians; in Group 4, they are more
like Australian aborigines. Looked at in a slightly different
fashion, 85 percent of all human genetic variation in enzymes and
other proteins occurs *within* (emphasis mine) a local racial
group, whereas only 15 percent of variation can be accounted for
by differences of group membership." (This part is also
elaborated on in Lewontin, Rosem and Kamin, "Not in Our Genes:
Biology, Ideology, and Human Nature" (1984).)
(p. 351)
"The concept of race was not biological in its derivation; it was
decidedly an evaluative label. The dividing line between 'them'
and 'us' was 'civilization', and Europeans viewed themselves as
being on the 'right' side, and others as being on the 'wrong'
side."
: Finally, what *I* mean by race may not be the same as you mean.
This is certainly true; and as long as we can't agree on a definition,
the likelihood is that we'll just talk past each other.
: >: Phil, I'm not a White supremacist; I am a White nationalist. I disavow

: Please, show some intellectual honesty.
Okay, Art, you asked for it. Here are some past posts by you that
show your belief in White supremacy- your double standard regarding racial
discrimination, and even where you outright state your belief in White
supremacy. This does not include what brought on my original response
above, where you said that only certain White people are Americans. Let
me add a point of information: Racism and White supremacy are, in my eyes,
the same thing (even among non-Whites; I say that racist non-Whites have
White supremacist beliefs, since they contribute to the status quo of
White supremacy). You, or anyone else, may not agree, but this is my
belief, and I'm stating it as a point of information.
(Anyting in parentheses within the body of a post was added by me, so that
I didn't have to show the entire contents of a few long posts.)

Racism is a doctrine of love for one's racial nation. It is
fundamentally a good thing. It serves the existence of
a people.
These anti-Whites seek to destroy that which we see as
fundamentally good and they must therefore misrepresent
what racism is and the goodness that it brings.

If you utopian North America can accept a White nation-state, then problems
will be fewer than if you don't. If you can't accept that Whites might want
to organize ourselves into our own state, then you are creating the
conditions for extreme violence and hatred.

So, if there is no biological significance of race, how do forenics
detectives get a blood sample and are able to determine the race of the
victim?

The context of your reply above. You said that in response to another
poster making the point that non-Whites experience discrimination merely
because of their skin color. Your response was a denial of that, when you
said, "Oh right" to start it off.
: However, it is my position that Whites have a right to discriminate
: against non-whites and that it is a violation of our rights to deny
: it.
Yet, you would be the first to whine in a case of Whites being
discriminated against. This double standard of yours is further evidence
of your White supremacist beliefs.

: I don't care what non-Whites experience.
This is exactly why I *KNOW* you would not want a dialogue on the
issue of race. You have made statements such as this that show it. Part
of having a dialogue is taking in what others are saying, and thinking
about it. Even if you don't agree, you take it in, and think critically
about it. You haven't convinced me, due to statements such as this, that
you would be willing to do that.
Monday night at NU, a program I ran was essentially a dialogue: honest
questions were asked and opinions exchanged between students and staff
regarding ethnic/cultural organizations on campus, and race in general.
Everyone listened, and considered what was being said.
Statements like the one you made above illustrate to me that you would
not want to do that. As such, I don't think you really want a dialogue.
It seems that you would prefer that we keep talking past each other.
: But as you conceded, Whites do get discriminated against.
I have never denied it.

Art, I am talking about a case where the person involved was not doing
*anything* wrong- the person wasn't speeding, wasn't changing lanes in a
dangerous way, wasn't swerving, or what have you.
: (P.S. all of my friends are White).
Big shock. Of course, I'll wager that you have closed yourself off
to the possibility of having a friend that isn't. Well, it's your loss.
I'm glad I didn't do that, and then lose out.

The only empire is that of White supremacy.

You missed why I said that; it was a joke, from where you used the
words "you people", which Perot was famous for.
And, for the record, I am not a backer of Jesse Jackson. Jesse will
do something if he can get his face in the news, and he is a racist.
Let's not forget when he talked about his relief that several people
walking near him were not Black.

Art, they're more like you than you realize. From your posts, I get
the impression that you simply don't make the effort to do things that
would get you to realize that.

: I hate you but it isn't because you're white (in fact, you're not).
Here's further proof of what I said in another response to you- your
model of White identity. You say I'm not White because I don't believe
in White supremacy; because I believe that people should be treated as
individuals, and allowed to succeed or fail based on their own merits,
and be given the tools to succeed. Your limited mind just can't imagine
someone being proud of who they are, but also being able to accept and
love others for who they are. Like I said, you need to examine your
identity, taking a look at Janet Helms' model. When you reach the
ultimate stage, you can accept those different from you, among other
things.
: I hate you because you're a non-White supremacist.
Completely false. Nothing I have ever said would back this up,
though you're invited to try and prove it.
: >: > You should treat him with the same respect you want to be treated

Allow me to qualify that: Do you believe that everyone should be
treated with respect, until they prove themselves undeserving of it?

Context is not an answer. That I am making fun of your arguing style
by parodying you only proves one thing: I don't like your argying
style. However, I did not make that statement and "context" is
not a statement. You don't have proof.

It is not a double standard. I have only one standard: What is good

You're right. I don't want a dialog of the sort you want. But then,
obviously, you don't want a dialog either. You don't hear what I say,
but what you want to hear said.

I understand the point you're making. On that issue, I concede that
cops may do it. It's not important to me. Skinheads get stopped all
the time because of the way that they look (I've hung around a lot of
skinheads although I'm not one myself). I've had cops play their
little information collection games with me too. Those are clear,
arbitrary violations of our liberties, but that's O.K. The more that
they do those things, the more that they alienate people.

Oh, you make me feel all weepy and sad inside. Come on!!! Get real.
I've had all manner of non-White friends. I live in California; I work
with the people. And that's why I know you're full of shit.
Gang-bangers and idiots don't "enrich" my life.

I understand the point you're trying to make. I find it legitimate
that a person might decide to watch people who statistically are
involved in more crime per capita.
That blacks don't like being observed or suspected is irrelevant to
the fact that, per capita, they produce more crime. If they didn't
like it, they could change their behavior.
>: Several times. However, I recognize as legitimate the desire of taxi

Yes, as a matter of fact I do.
Discrimination is choice. And I reconize their right to make a choice.

False. This is truly an igorant point you have made and is evidence
of why I don't really waste much time considering what you say. In
the parlance of political science, an empire is a multi-ethnic state.
What you are supporting is a just that: an empire. What I want
is a nation-state: a state that promotes the interests of one nation
(defined as being equivalent to an ethnic group).
> You missed why I said that; it was a joke, from where you used the

I have to admit that I did miss that. I don't really listen to Ross
Perot much.

Come on!! You don't like Messy Jesse? That champion of "cibil raits?"
The former Black Panther and cook who used to spit in White people's
food? I find that hard to believe.

Again, you know little about me (which is not to say that I would make
such an effort).

You don't understand my identity.

No, I say you're not White because Whiteness, as I use the term, is an
ethnicity. Although the ethnicity has lineal properties, I don't think
that identity is any less important. YOU want race to mean solely the
physical traits that a person evidences. To me, race is both
biological and ethnological.
Finally, since you say that race has no biological meaning, you can't
say that you mean White in any kind of biological way. You can't say
"I'm White because I'm European and I have light skin." Come on!
Show some intellectual honesty. Show that you are capable of reviewing
the implications of your own ideas and values. As I understand it,
scientists who classify humans by race (the biological definitions of
race) generally recognize three major categories: Negroid, Caucasoid
and Mongoloid. Therefore, "White" is not "Caucasoid." You might be
a caucasoid but you're not White as I see it.
> Your limited mind just can't imagine someone being proud of who

> they are.
Oh!! My "limited mind." Isn't that just so typical of you touchy-feely
anti-racists. If someone doesn't agree with you, then they have a
"limited mind" and are "ignorant." Get a clue, grow up. I've lived
more years with non-Whites than I care to admit. I've grown up
near the heart of Watts, in government-funded "projects," and
generally with these people all my life. Therefore, I am not
prejudiced, but post-judiced.
> Like I said, you need to examine your identity, taking a look at Janet Helms' model.

I don't have that book. I might make some effort to obtain it from a
library but probably not. You don't understand my identity. You
understand little about me. Just because I parody you and make
fun of the touchy-feely crap you spew on this website and say
things purposely made to provoke a response from you does not
constitute a full expression of my identity.
>: I hate you because you're a non-White supremacist.
>
> Completely false. Nothing I have ever said would back this up,

Using your argument, it's in the context.
However, I am basing my definition of supremacist on what appears to
be the definition you are using:
A supremacist is a person who holds a thing to be important.
I don't use this definition, but it appears to be the one you use.
Using this definition, you are a non-White supremacist because
you think non-Whites are important. According to you, I'm a
White Supremacist because I hold White people to be important.
A Catholic is a Catholic Supremacist because they think Catholicism is
important, Jews are Jewish supremacists because they think being
Jewish is imporrtant, Blacks are Black supramacists because they think
that Blacks are important, Democrats are Democrat Supramacists because
they think Democrats are important, Druggies are Drug Supramacists
because they think Drugs are important, Dog lovers are Dog
supramacists, sometimes I'm even a Simpsons Supramacist because I
like to watch the Simpsons. etc ad nauseum. Do you get the point
I'm making?

Not a bad question.
First, certain restriction length polymorphisms and DNA sequences are
found more frequently in different populations. However, these are most
often found in stretches of DNA that don't code for any gene product, and
therefore do not affect gene function. Second, genetic variability between
different people of the same race is comparable to that found between
races; consequently, most differences between what we call races have
little, if any, biological significance. Equal differences can be found
between members of the same race. Many such differences, when analyzed,
turn out to be more a function of socioeconomic status than biology.
I'm not questioning that there are some minor differences between what we
call "races." What I am saying is that they are minor; few of them have
any biological significance; and those that do are no more significant
than differences between different members of the same race.

Yes, here is another quote form Mein Kampf:
"The man who is not opposed and vilified and slandered in the Jewish
Press is not a staunch German and not a true National Socialist. The best
rule whereby the sincerity of his convictions, his character and strength
of will, can be measured is by the hostility which his name arouses among
the mortal enemies of our people.
"The followers of the movement, and indeed the whole nation, must be
reminded again and again of the fact that, through the medium of his
newspapers, the Jew is always spreading falsehood and that if he tells the
truth on some occasions it is only for the purpose of masking some greater
deceit, which turns the apparent truth into a deliberate falsehood. The Jew
is the Great Master of Lies. Falsehood and duplicity are the weapons with
which he fights.
"Every calumny and falsehood published by the Jews are tokens of
honour which can be worn by our comrades. He whom the decry most is nearest
to our hearts and he whom they mortally hate is our best friend.
"If a comrade of ours opens a Jewish newspaper in the morning and
does not find himself vilified there, then he has spent yesterday to no
account. For if he had achieved something he would be persecuted,
slandered, derided and abused. Those who effectively combat this mortal
enemy of our people, who is at the same time the enemy of all Aryan peoples
and all culture, can only expect to arouse opposition on the part of this
race and become the object of its slanderous attacks.
"When these truths become part of the flesh and blood, as it were, of
our members, then the movement will be impregnable and invincible."

Its amazing that they worship Hitler so much. What did Hitler do? Cause
the death of millions of Germans and others, brought mass destruction to
Germany, brought shame onto the heads of Germans everywhere, and ensured
that millions of Germans spent decades under one of the nastier of the post

tim gueguen 101867
Could this have something to do with long histories of being colonized by
"white" nations and used for slaves?
Besides, what does being "backward" have to do with biology? Oh, wait. I
know. You're going to trot out that old discredited canard about how
"white" people are supposedly "more intelligent" than blacks.

I've often wondered the same thing. They seem very willing to excuse his
atrocities and ultimate failure (which led to the utter destruction of
Germany and its partitioning for fifty years) because his goal coincided
with their belief in white nationalism.

1500 years ago the White areas were backward.

I said that Whites evidence a pattern of traits. One element of those
patterns is skin color which is quite light compared to a lot of
non-White peoples. Another trait pattern is an abudance of recessive
traits among them, blonde hair, blue, green, light brown, hazel and
other recessive eye colors. Another trait is a pattern of skull shape,
thickness and other similar bone features of the skull. Another trait
is a general body build which is different from the norm of African
(negroid) body types. Another pattern trait is a stronger nose
cartilage. Another trait is the presence of Rh- factors among some of
the members. Another trait is hair types and thicknesses. Another
trait is lip shapes which differ from many negroids and mongoloids.
There are a whole bunch of other traits that are part of the part
which is representative of Whites. Check out an anthropology or
forensic text if you want more. However, contrary to the way that
anti-racists want to portray it, the statistical distribution of these
traits is not random, but rather constrained by lineage. People of
a certain lineage and heritage evidence these traits dependent
upon their genetic heritage. Get it?
The reason that I don't really care to address this issue is twofold:
1) I don't have a strong background in human genetics
2) It's not relevant to the point I'm making.

Phil, you're dodging the issue. The issue is your hatred of White
ethnicity. You hate people (such as myself) who express our identity
and you seek to eliminate ethnic identity among Whites.
The reason is your hatred. Let's address what hatred is. Hatred, Phil,
is an emotion. It is an extension of anger. Hatred is a negative
emotion (which does not mean that it is bad) because it motivates
the one expressing it to eliminate the cause (unlike positive emotions
which motivate the expressor to continue their cause). I know this
is probably difficult for you.
Anyways, the object of hatred is another individual (or individuals)
whom the hater blames for some negative condition. Does this
make sense to you? You are a hater because you you blame
Whites for the problems that non-Whites face. You blame Whites
for things which we are not responsible and for which we have no
obligation to avoid. That is why you are a White hater, Phil.
I don't pretend that I am incapable of hatred, Phil. It is a human
emotion and the only way that one can stop feeling it is by stop
holding things as important (apathy) which, in my mind is far worse
than hatred.

Now you're pretending to know better than I what I do or don't know!
Sorry, bubba, but *I* am the expert on my own beliefs and
understanding of the world. I experience pride (of which there are
several kinds). Pride is a positive emotion one feels under several
circumstances, among which are:
1) Abiding by one's values and morals despite the difficulty of
doing so.
2) Accomplishing something significant.
3) Identification of the self with a group and abiding by the
group's ideals and morals.
I feel pride for myself in all three ways.

I don't call any White person who calls [me] out for a White
supremacist hater since I am not a White supremacist.
Sorry, Phil, you make absolutely no sense.

Look, just because you happen to agree with Janet E. Helm's book
doesn't imply that what she has to say is worthy. Additionally, I
don't know how objective she is in her analysis. I will see if I can
get the book since, if she is objective, I can use her report to
advance racism among Whites. Thank you for the tip.
However, my identity is a little different than you claim so I don't
have to worry about your hateful accusations about me.

I most definitely do act on prejudices since all generalizations are
prejudices and one cannot think without them. Attitudes and
generalizations are a vital part of human cognition and neither you
nor I can avoid using them.

Sorry, the problem is that you've been taught by the shitty school

you have a lot to learn.

I don't care how YOU'RE discussing race. I've defined how I use the

A lineal ethnic group.
That _YOU_ miss the distinction is not my fault.

This is all irrelevant. That race (as this author defines it) is a
political construct does not make it any less important, anyways.
Politics, using Aristotle's definition, is the search for the good
life. I happen to find my good life in race.

We're talking right past each other because, just as you claim about
me, you are not listening to me. _YOU_ don't want a dialog just like
you claim about me. However, I'm a lot more conscious of my activities
than you make allowances for (your "prejudices" are getting in the way
of understanding me).
That's typical of exactly what I said about you. You don't know how to
reason. I asked you to _PROVE_ your assertion. Let me help you with
understanding what a proof is. A proof is a body of logically-related
assertions logically linking one's premises with one's conclusions. A
random selection of evidence is proof of nothing because there is no
chain of logic. Sorry, you fail my test for your ability to think
logically. You have not proven your assertions.
What are your premises? What is the relationship between your
conclusion and your premises? I doubt that you'd be able to figure
that out. Why don't you start out with a definition of what you mean
when a person is a "supremacist" and why you think I am a "White
Supremacist" (despite the fact that I disavow supremacist beliefs).

Translation: I don't care that race has little meaning biologically and is
not a biological construct. Having failed at demonstrating race to be a
biological construct, I will use a political argument.

Of course race does have a biological meaning, just not one you would

Another book about race is Race and Reason by Carleton Putnam. Is this
one found in bookstores or libraries? Here is a qoute form it:
"Where in the U.S. could a psychologist, sociologist or anthropologist find
employment if he openly and unreservedly espoused the theory of the racial
inequality of man?"

Apparently it can only be understood by those ignorant of human genetics.
Next he will state he doesn't know much about economics, then proceed
to analyse the bail-out of the Crysler Corporation.
And expect everybody to take him seriously.

Yes. The Los Angeles Public library has a copy:
Author Putnam, Carleton, 1901-
Title(s) Race and reason, a Yankee view.
Publisher Washington, Public Affairs Press [1961]
Paging 125 p. 24 cm.
Barnes and Noble.com lists it as available as does
amazon.com.
These books are easily available in libraries or from
'leftist' booksellers. So much for your cries of
persecution and repression.

Translation: I can't answer ORAC's criticisms of my assertions. Therefore
ORAC must be a buttwipe.
(Such is the typical level of sophistication and intelligence exhibited by
Aryan nationalists when trying to rebut anyone who disagrees with them.
I've heard more interesting and intelligent insults from your average
kindergarten student.)

Translation: ORAC (a.k.a. David Gorski) also disagrees with me and my

Translation: We Aryan nationalists say that race has a biological meaning.
It's just not any meaning that has any empirical scientific evidence to
back it up. In other words, you should just accept our assertions
regarding the supposed biological relevance of race without any empirical
scientific evidence simply because we make them.

You're quoting from it and you're asking if it's found in bookstores or
libraries? You mean you don't know?

>

Probably not, but not for the reason you imply. A reason closer to the
truth would be that there is at present no credible evidence for this
theory. It would be akin to a physicist "openly and unreservedly"
espousing a viewpoint that Newton's Laws of Gravitation and Einstein's
Theory of Relativity are completely wrong. Could such a physicist find
employment, much less grant support to do research? Probably not, unless
he had some exceedingly good experimental evidence.
If such a scholar ever came up with strong evidence for such a theory,
then eventually it would have to be accepted, no matter how much the
theory conflicts with what we know now. (It might take a long time, as it
did for Copernicus and Galileo.) The problem, of course, that you so
conveniently gloss over is the little matter of coming up with suitable
evidence. Right now, there is no good evidence for such a theory, and what
"evidence" is out there is relatively easily debunked.

Now, Brian, you wouldn't want to go and ruin Alex's view of himself and
his cause as martyrs at the hands of the "eeeeeevvvvillll Jews," now would
you?
>Lol. An intelligent and articulate writer, and a comedian! An anti-whites

Yes, for the most part these people are pathetic. You have Gordon
McFly spitting and sputtering like a drooling, babbling fool. You have
Mr. Gordski posturing and strutting pretending that I've made
statements that I haven't and when I call him on it, he has to
misrepresent everything I've said, claiming things that aren't true.
They're both just a few sandwiches short of a picnic.
They're really a disheveled, over-pressured, bunch who are
just as likely to turn their hatred on each other as they are
on us.
The only one that I have any respect for is Mr. Kasiecki, although
he has a lot to learn. However, probably for showing the slightest
amount of reason, his other companions will probably hate him
for flirting with the opponents.
