I understand why conservatives tend to avoid any blunt, realistic discussion around the topic of race that would actually disagree with the prevailing narrative. However, by doing so, as we’ve tended to do for the past several decades, we cede the topic in its entirety to the Left, who then not only establish the prevailing narrative, but go on to weaponize any real or perceived difference with it against us. It’s a tale as old as time, or at least as old as the left/right division in the West.
Thankfully, though, we’ve seen the Overton Window (the range of allowable discussion) shift dramatically right over the past several years, reaching light-speed in the last several months. Discussions and opinions that would have gotten any of us entirely canceled and driven from the public square are now talked about openly and without shame or social consequences. And you don’t have to agree with everything people ‘right’ of you believe (I certainly don’t) to realize that this is by and large a good thing.
For example, Trump’s mega-based senior advisor, Stephen Miller, dropped a truth bomb last week that would have drawn incredible flak in a different era. Referring to the contention that Afghan refugees “shouldn’t be blamed for the violence act of one man,” Miller posted: “This is the great lie of mass migration. You are not just importing individuals. You are importing societies. No magic transformation occurs when failed states cross borders. At scale, migrants and their descendants recreate the conditions, and terrors, of their broken homelands.”
This is, of course, correct, and it’s brave of Miller to go even this far. The refutation of the leftist ‘magic dirt’ hypothesis, the absurd contention that Third Worlders suddenly become assimilable, productive, freedom-loving Americans the moment they cross from their dirt to ours, is important. However, I think it's past time for us to stop p**********g around the issue and have an honest discussion about how race plays a part in it all. Because it does, and everyone with half a brain deep down knows it does, though few on our side even now will openly admit it. Otherwise, the left will rightly accuse us of hypocrisy for being OK with, say, the migration of white Afrikaners from South Africa while opposing people from Haiti, Somalia, or Mexico.
No, race isn't everything, and people who try to make it everything are either being purposefully and unnecessarily controversial or intellectually dishonest. We are obviously individuals and should always be treated as such. But, and here’s the rub, it isn't nothing either. There is a reason the Italians and the Irish, despite their early struggles, eventually integrated entirely, and Somalis and Afghans never will. That's because the culture created by a people group is tied, at least to some degree, to the race and/or ethnicity of that people group.
In other words, race/ethnicity is a broad indicator of roughly the kind of culture that a group will develop. For example, Asian cultures are different from each other (Korean culture isn't Japanese culture, and so forth), but all are more similar to each other than they are to, say, African or European cultures. Denmark and the UK are different, yet are more similar to each other than they would be to any country in East Asia or Africa. You get the drift.
You might be with me so far, but I’m going to take it a step further: The politically incorrect yet irrefutable truth is that cultures created by 'white' people tend in general to be stable, free, economically successful, high-trust societies. Good places to live, if you will. That, in a nutshell, is why the whole world wants to come to white-created places. It also ironically cuts to the root of why so many nonwhite cultures hate the West - they are jealous of what Western peoples have accomplished in the past and what they have now. (This also, interestingly, is the root of much of modern antisemitism, particularly from the left, because Jews are also successful as a group and create great places to live.) You might have a knee-jerk reaction to this truth, but your reaction doesn’t make it any less true.
To be blunt, if Somalians or their ancestors could have created a society that in any way equaled or exceeded what has been created in the West or East Asia, they would have already done so. This is obvious, and the primary reason Somalians as a group are incompatible with Western civilization.
None of this means every non-white culture or country is inherently bad or even that every white country or area will be some sort of paradise. As examples, communism is a killer no matter where it's practiced, and welfare and drugs are devastating poor rural white communities in this country. Also, plenty of Asian countries, like Japan and Korea, are incredible places to live (although they do tend to be less free than Western countries). There are, of course, multiple exceptions to any generality we could make, none of which means the general rule isn’t largely true.
To continue with the caveats, because they are important: None of this means that minorities on an individual basis can't assimilate into a white-created culture. None of this means that any person or group is somehow above another in the eyes of God. None of this is a reason to hate another person or group because of something they can't help. I'm not arguing for white supremacy or some sort of white nationalist homeland. We should always be respectful and kind to everyone and treat them as individuals, because in the end, that's what all of us are.
It does mean, however, that overwhelming a country with Third World non-whites will inevitably change that country for the worse, despite the fact that many of the migrants will undoubtedly work hard and contribute. It also means that keeping a country majority white is a desirable goal. That is why it may seem hypocritical, but I have zero issue with white South Africans coming here and a ton of issues with nonwhite Third Worlders.
Thankfully, this goal can be accomplished with a sane, restrictive immigration policy before it's too late. If it can be done and done right, it would actually work to moderate the more extreme elements on the right. Because there are plenty of people who, if given the choice between a whites-only 'homeland' and becoming a persecuted minority in a place their ancestors built (like the white South Africans are now), would happily choose the former.
