All white Americans? Are all white Americans so determined to protect the genetic interests of the white race in America that they are willing to seriously weaken the American economy and live in poverty? Are they, for example, willing to accept the shocks to the American economy that would come from forcefully deporting 11 million illegal immigrants and thus severely reducing the American work force?<br /><br />I doubt this. As I have indicated in my post, I agree with Frank Salter that what Salter identifies as "ethnic genetic interests" have no roots in the evolved instincts of human nature, and thus strategies for protecting those interests must be artificial contrivances of reason. Salter admits that in protecting their genetic interests in modern states, "humans can no longer rely on their instincts" (On Genetic Interests, 28). <br /><br />Human beings have evolved instincts for individual survival and for the reproductive interests of their families and their extended tribal groups. But in the environments of evolutionary adaptation, our foraging ancestors had no experience with ethnic identities that might embrace millions of anonymous individuals scattered around the world.<br /><br />People like Jared Taylor concede this problem when they lament that white people are easily persuaded to sacrifice their genetic interests, because recognizing the genetic interests of their ethnic group is not instinctive, and therefore it has to be artificially created by the ideological rhetoric of white ethnic identity.<br /><br />The American presidential election this year could be a test. If Donald Trump adheres clearly to a white ethnic identity position, and if the great majority of white voters vote for him because the genetic interests of their white ethnic group is more important to them than economic prosperity, then Trump will win.<br /><br />The fact that Trump is now reaching out to non-white voters suggests that he has concluded that the appeal of white ethnic identity is too weak to attract enough white voters to win.<br /><br /> WednesdayLarry Arnharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619785331100785170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16355954.post-31651451427549906142016-08-30T15:21:24.006+01:002016-08-30T15:21:24.006+01:00Are the Japanese Japanese supremacists in Japan? ...Are the Japanese Japanese supremacists in Japan? Are Jews Jewish supremacists in Israel? Are Iranians Iranian supremacists in Iran? All we want is a homeland that is dedicated to protecting the existence of our particular ethnic group, something it was understood that countries did until, like, the last 20 years. Like all conservatives, you're just dedicated to "conserving" the radical leftism of 20 years ago.<br /><br />You didn't answer any of the questions in my first comment. You never answer the difficult comments.

"Taylor admits, Asians have a higher average IQ than whites, and Ashkenazi Jews have the highest average IQ of any group that has ever been tested."<br /><br />He is not a white supremacist as he has said over and over. The alt-right are realists about ethic and racial groups and think groups should be allowed to take steps to preserve the existence of their kind. Having a homeland is necessary to ensure the existence of your kind.

If real, do ethnic groups need to do things such as create new members, pass on traditions, retain their homeland, and create a sense of identity to persist through time? If an ethnic group is prevented from doing these things will it cease to exist, i.e., if England becomes 100% Muslim will the English have ceased to exist? Do ethnic groups have a right to do what it takes to continue to exist? Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
