Default Promoting genocide for whites?

Promoting genocide for whites? Noel Ignatiev and the culture of Western
suicide

September 18, 2008

"There has been a renewed interest recently in a 2002 article by Paul

Craig Roberts, actually the first of two (here is the second), drawing
attention to a rather frightening phenomenon at Harvard University: the
effort by a professor, Noel Ignatiev, and his journal, Race Traitor, to
promote the €ścultural and psychological genocide of whites.€ť

Now thats an odd choice of words€”guaranteed to draw attention to
himself and his ideas. Was he in any way also promoting the
slaughter/liquidation of whites, as some of his adversaries have
suggested? Ignatiev says no. In his words,

We frequently get letters accusing us of being "racists," just like the
KKK, and have even been called a "hate group." ...

Our standard response is to draw an analogy with anti-royalism: to oppose
monarchy does not mean killing the king; it means getting rid of crowns,
thrones, royal titles, etc....

Ignatiev et al. have developed a story that goes as follows: A bunch of
very bad people got together and created a category called €śwhite€ť to
which they belong but people with different colored skin cant belong.
Then they made laws that favored people in the white category, they
colluded with other whites to dominate the economic and political process,
and they invented baseless scientific theories in which whiteness had its
roots in real biological differences.

All Ignatievs written material that weve seen carries the same odd
message with the same extreme wording. He talks about the supposed
privileges white people have just because they are in the white category,
even though we all know that the only racial privileges in the US are
affirmative action laws and various subterfuges that favor non-whites at
the expense of whites. These practices result in blacks being
overrepresented in high status jobs compared to their actual IQ and test
scores. And it even results in people like Ward Churchill exaggerating
their non-whiteness in order to become beneficiaries of this largesse.

Ignative writes darkly and dramatically of €śabolishing the white
race,€ť €śgenocide of whites,€ť etc. When pressed, he emphasizes that
that he doesnt really mean killing people who call themselves white. He
only wants to destroy the concept of whiteness.

So hes off the hook, right?

We dont think so. Try this analogy. We all know that blacks and Jews
have a far stronger sense of their racial/ethnic identity and interests
than whites. Consider voting: Around 90% of blacks and 80% of Jews vote
Democrat. So does that mean that we can say we are in favor of abolishing
the black race? Does that mean that we can say we are in favor of the
genocide of Jews? And when the forces of political correctness descend
upon us for making such statements, can we make everyone happy just by
saying that all we meant is that blacks and Jews shouldnt identify so
strongly with their group that they do things like vote the same way. I
think not.

Perhaps even Harvard, that bastion of anti-white political correctness,
was bothered by Ignatievs rhetoric. Ignatiev left Harvard and is now
peddling his poison at Massachusetts College of Art. Ignatiev must have
felt right at home at Harvard since Harvard is notorious for
discriminating against non-Jewish whites: While giving special preferences
to blacks and Latinos, only 35% of Harvard students are non-Jewish whites
€” around half their representation in the population.

Beyond his outrageous rhetoric designed to call attention to himself, it
seems to us that Ignatiev is engaging in a clever subterfuge, worthy of
the best Talmudic slight-of-hand. The trick involves first adhering to the
PC notion that €śraces€ť are only €śsocial constructs€ť as opposed to
being creatures whose biology, psychology and culture are inextricably
entangled. Coupled with this notion is the other thread running through
the ideology of this son of Russian Jewish immigrants, a legacy of his
communist days, is an extreme egalitarianism that brooks no social
hierarchy, at least one in which €śwhites€ť are at the top.

All this has allowed him and his protégés to vent their hatred for
whites without being accused of doing so. Their hatred assumes a surface
legitimacy because the hated €śwhites€ť are just a €śsocial
construct.€ť Its not really about killing people, so wheres the
beef? The €śgenocide€ť of whites is not about homicide or suicide;
its only about getting white people to stop thinking that they are
white.

Our interpretation is that Ignatievs views are nothing more than ethnic
competition. As a leftist Jew, he is part of a long tradition that has
opposed white interests and identity €” the culture of critique that has
become the culture of Western suicide. And like so many strongly
identified Jews, his hatred for the people and culture of the West comes
shining through.

Notice that if Ignatiev were sincerely opposed to ethnic competition, he
would have criticized all sorts of peoples and individuals around the
world for thinking of themselves as belonging to a racial/ethnic category.
After all, whats left when there is no more category of whiteness? There
will still be people with white skin who can trace their genetic ancestry
to Europe but who have lost all sense of belonging to a racial category.
And there will still be people who categorize themselves as Jews and
blacks and Asians and various subdivisions of Asians. These people will
continue to have a sense of racial/ethnic identity and they will continue
to act on the basis of this identity. Only whites will be left without an
identity and hence without weapons in the racial/ethnic struggle. Why
doesnt he campaign to get rid of these other categories?

And when only whites are left without an identity and hence without
weapons in the racial/ethnic struggle, it doesnt take much imagination
to suppose that actual genocide of whites is the next step.

And yes, there is a hard biological reality to racial and ethnic
differences. The theory that these are nothing but a social construct is
itself a social construct €” a social construct in the service of ethnic
competition of people like Ignatiev who advance them.

What is so striking in the recent intellectual history of the West is that
people like Ignatiev, who doubtless have a strong sense of their own ethnic
identity and interests, have managed to pathologize any sense of ethnic
identity and interests among Europeans and European-derived peoples €”
and no one else.

Ignatiev is just another Jewish intellectual in a long line that stretches
back to Franz Boas, the Frankfurt School, and myriad others who now
dominate the culture of Western suicide. He may call himself a race
traitor, but there is every reason to believe that he has a sense of
allegiance to his own people and the long history of hostility to the
people and culture of the West that is so typical of highly committed
Jews. For him, being a race traitor comes easily and naturally; its the
mothers milk of socialization as a Jew.

So do read Paul Craig Roberts first essay beginning below, and his second,
and ask yourself where cultural critique leaves off and de facto support
for, say, blacks murdering whites begins? (Incidentally, before any
whites, reading Race Traitor, become too overcome with guilt for the
loathsome transgressions of their ancestors, they should read Kiplings
poem, The Stranger.) "
