Visceral Jew-Haters Disturb Me

I had no problem interviewing academic Kevin MacDonald. I received no hostile vibe from him against Jews, but many parts of the web are just viscerally anti-Jews. They want to wipe us out. Sometimes I can study this material and try to understand what is going on, but most of the time, I can’t stomach it. I just want to run away and hide.

I think that is generally true for most people. They can pull themselves together to mix with the different, even those who hate them, when it is necessary for business, but generally speaking, we prefer our own and 98% of us segregate ourselves and go to houses of worship filled with people like us.

Dennis Prager: What was John Kerry thinking when he suggested that Israel might become an apartheid state?

It seems to me that whenever multiple groups struggle for control of a specific land, one group usually ends up winning and other groups end up losing. For instance, in America, the Pilgrims won and the Indians lost. In Israel, the Jews won and the Arabs lost. So Israel became a Jewish state and while non-Jews can still enjoy a higher quality of life than anywhere in the Arab world, they still have to accept that Israel is a Jewish state and that the country conducts itself accordingly.

“Apartheid” is just a slur that is flung to stigmatize a group for acting in its self-interest. In South Africa, whites lost the will to govern and so blacks, the majority population, took over. If Jews in Israel lose the will to govern, the Arabs will subjugate them.

Joe* says:

There is lots of validity to many of the arguments you are making, but they straddle or touch so many third rails that it takes an especially careful polemicist to make these arguments without getting fried. And you are not that careful, as you do love to shock.

Also, you are at least a tribalist (we all know that “race” is a mere social construct, so why dignify the accusation by even using the word?). So too are most people of most lands, cultures and times, and today is no exception. I can easily imagine lots of the angry white sports talk radio crowd cursing colored folk behind closed doors.

Anyway, how can you believe that the Jews are a chosen PEOPLE without believing that there are differences amongst the various peoples of the earth?

Personally, I believe that God chose different people for different tasks and blessed them accordingly. He blessed Scandinavian women with tremendous natural beauty, for example. Possibly to tempt Jewish men so that we could thereby prove our own in-group loyalty.

Jews like this 80 year old guy were blessed with mad real estate skills for buying up apartment buildings, and African Americans were blessed with powerful fists with which to keep their greed in check on rent-day. And to the extent that the All Mighty (this is possibly sacrilege) wants these group skill sets to be preserved, why would He favor miscegenation? Of course Darwin looks at it differently.

You are a mainstream European pre-1933. The arguments you are making require much finesse and caution, and you are not the cautious sort. You lack the social gracces and finesse to more precisely make the proper argument. “Sure, Amalek could make them, but he no longer believes that contributing to my web sites will win him the heart, mind, and body of a beautiful woman.”

How Do You Make A Living As A Blogger

Sam emails:

Dear Luke,

Great blog! I recently discovered it after listening to your interview with Kevin MacDonald on his website. (Actually, I think I remember going to your old blog maybe 12 years ago.)

Anyways, have you ever considered writing a post about how to make a living as a blogger? Just an idea. I’ve personally thought about trying to make a living blogging, so that’s the reason for my interest.

Perhaps the trade-off (some freedom, recognition, and the ability to pursue self-actualizing work versus more money with a “normal” 50+ hour a week corporate gig) makes it worth it… That is something I’m struggling with now.

I appreciate your honesty. It’s easy for the outside observer to think bloggers are making a lot of money, but I believe that’s rare. Personally I think I’ll be looking for part-time menial work & part-time blogging. Too bad part-time work pays little.

I’m hoping for a groupie scene of some sort, which I know some bloggers have, depending on their subject matter and popularity. I’m sure your older blog, while maybe not attracting groupies, put you in contact with some rather loose women, but perhaps you now have a more quality set followers, & personally I think the topics you now get into are more impactful and healthy.

I get that and I hoped for more success in this arena than I had, but I am naturally shy in these matters so… If you get on TV regularly, it will happen for you.

I’ve had no success to speak of making a living as a blogger over the past seven years so I fear I have no wisdom in this matter. I love writing and sharing my ideas. Sometimes people donate to my blog, take me to dinner etc.

The way to get mass traffic, attention and even money is to break news. It’s hard to make an impact writing thought pieces. What do you want to do? Would you do it with your real name? There could be major economic and social consequences if you are not PC.

Former NBA Star Larry Johnson Calls For An All-Black League

Can you imagine the furor if a white called for an all-white league but when a black calls for black separatism, that is treated respectfully. Why is it OK for Jews, Asians, Latinos and Blacks to segregate themselves but not OK for whites to segregate themselves?

Doesn’t Larry Johnson understand the great joys of racial diversity?

A friend writes about the Donald Sterling controversy: “Contrast and compare the attention this insult to the manhood of the NBA has received vs. the damage to the brain of Detroit White Man Steve Utash.”

The Washington Times reports:

New York Knicks executive Larry Johnson has a different take on the racial fire that’s recently ignited over Clippers owner Donald Sterling, looking at the broader picture to make his main point: It’s high time blacks started their own league, he said.

In a tweet, the former star player wrote: “Black people your Focusing on the wrong thing. We should be focusing on having our own, Own team own League! To For Self!!”

It’s not the first time that Mr. Johnson drew critical attention to the fact that the NBA is headed primarily by white executives and played mostly by black athletes, the New York Post reported. In 1999, he said during the NBA Finals between the Knicks and Spurs that, “We’ve got a lot of rebellious slaves on this [Knicks] team.”

He followed that up with an explanation of his use of the word slaves: “We don’t go with the mainstream,” he said, the New York Post reported.

Successful Racial Integration

The most examples of successful racial integration I know are in religious communities. Jews of different races get along fairly well, though they still divide along the lines of Ashkenazi, Persian, Sephardic and may have very little to do with each other, but at least Jews rarely murder each other.

When Ashkenazim and Sephardim are forced to mix in certain rituals, they often end up resenting the influence of the other on their traditional way of doing things.

I grew up a Seventh-Day Adventist, and SDAs are racially diverse. Still, the races didn’t mix much. Virtually all the SDA intellectuals were white. There were white Adventist churches and Korean Adventist churches and in some churches where whites and blacks worshipped together, they sat on different sides. Growing up, I heard a story about a liberal young white woman who deliberately sat with the blacks. They told her, “You think we stink and we think you stink, so go sit with your own.” That story made an impression on me. Even though I knew Adventists of very race, I noticed that they still stayed mainly with their own kind.

Most people I’ve known in a racially mixed marriage told me that it makes things much tougher and very few of them recommend it to me. For instance, I have a thing for Persians, but Ashkenazim who’ve married Persians normally counsel me against it. The most harmonious racially-mixed marriages I’ve seen were white guys with asian women.

Seventh-Day Adventist Tutsis committed genocide against Hutus (SDA and otherwise) in Rwanda in 1994, but I don’t like to think about that because it makes me uncomfortable. The New York Times reported in 2003:

A Protestant clergyman and his son, a physician, were convicted yesterday of genocide and sentenced to prison by the United Nations tribunal dealing with the Rwandan killing frenzy of 1994, in which members of Hutu gangs killed an estimated 800,000 minority Tutsi and moderate Hutu over three months.

The Rev. Elizaphan Ntakirutimana, 78, the former head of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in western Rwanda, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for aiding and abetting genocide. His son, Dr. Gérard Ntakirutimana, 45, who worked at the church’s hospital, received a total sentence of 25 years for the same charges and for shooting two people to death.

With the verdict, Mr. Ntakirutimana became the first clergyman to be convicted of genocide by an international tribunal.

The lengthy trial, which began in September 2001, has drawn new attention to the role of the Christian churches during the massacre. Three Roman Catholic priests are being held on similar charges at the tribunal’s jail in Arusha, Tanzania, the seat of the United Nations tribunal on Rwanda. A fifth, an Anglican bishop, died while in detention.

‘I Tell Jared’

When I talk to people trying to arouse the goyim from their slumber, I often hear them say, “I tell Jared…”

Jared is Jared Taylor, the leader of American Renaissance. He’s a Jew-friendly goy who wants whites to organize in their group interest. He doesn’t want anything for whites that he doesn’t also want for other groups, but he’s concerned that whites are headed for disaster and he has a preference for his own kind.

His thinking is regarded as unsophisticated by many of his most ardent supporters. They point out that white identity is inextricably linked with the Nazis and there is therefore a no-go for most whites. They urge him to pursue instead implicit white identity through classical music concerts and Nascar and the kind of nerdy pursuits that whites particularly enjoy.

Steve Sailer writes:

I first came to admire Jared Taylor’s talents over 20 years ago, during the dawn of the personal computer age, when he ranked with Jerry Pournelle as the most brilliant PC journalist.

That was the last time there was anything PC about Taylor. He’s now the editor of American Renaissance, a newsletter that applies Bell Curve-type concepts to current social problems in a way that the Mainstream Media should be doing but doesn’t, because it’s been frightened off.

He’s also emerged as a sort of white nationalist, explicitly defending the interests of whites (who, of course, would have been described as “Americans” before the federal government began electing a new people with the 1965 Immigration Act.)

Taylor is a man of commanding voice and mien, Central Casting’s dream of a U.S. Senator. But, needless to say, he will never become a Senator—because he long ago chose to sacrifice popularity for his principles.

Taylor has responded to my critique of his position that I offered in the course of reviewing his organization’s new survey of un-PC facts about race and criminality, The Color Of Crime. He has objected to my calling myself a “citizenist”, arguing:

“‘Citizenism’ assumes that race can be made not to matter, and that citizens will set aside parochial ethnic interests for the good of all…. What course of action would he propose for white people?

“Continue to preach ‘citizenism’ when no one else practices it?

“Continue to fill the country with people who do not hesitate to advance their interests—material, cultural, and biological—at the expense of whites?”

Yet, as the swordsman Inigo Montoya tells the villain Vizzini in the movie The Princess Bride, “I do not think that word means what you think it means.”

I sense (or perhaps merely hope) that millions of Americans feel as I do, in an unarticulated fashion.

But at the moment, Google suggests that I am just about the only person in the country calling himself a “citizenist.” So I think I have a certain right to suggest what the word means.

By “citizenism,” I mean that I believe Americans should be biased in favor of the welfare of our current fellow citizens over that of the six billion foreigners.

Should The Goyim Organize In Their Group Interest?

It seems to me that the most famous example in history of the goyim (whites) organizing in their self-interest was Nazi Germany and that did not go well. Most people feel an inherent sense of horror and revulsion at the idea of whites organizing in their group interest.

It’s fine for every other group to organize in their self-interest — including Jews, blacks, latinos, asians, gays, women, etc — because they have historically been persecuted by whites. According to the conventional wisdom, when whites organize in their group interest, it too often leads to evil and genocide. It’s just gross. It’s unseemly. It’s uncool. It’s bad for the Jews.

Women are often the majority on college campuses but it is fine for them to organize in their group interest because women are oppressed. It’s fine for Jews in Israel to organize a Jewish state because Jews have been oppressed. It’s a good thing to want Tibet for the Tibetans but it is a bad thing to want America for white people (even though the United States was historically an 80-90% white country, now down to 62% and heading for minority status by 2042 according to census projections).

Whites are a minority in California but because they have more money and power than latinos it is wrong for whites to organize in their group interest. After all, there is no such thing as “white” as a group identity and these mythical “whites” have no group interests, no group consciousness, and no group culture.

Is It Unseemly To Elbow For Credit?

Saul Austerlitz writes for Tablet magazine:

…The Wallenberg dispute was merely a warmup for the conflict between the director and Hier over credit for Genocide. Hier called Schwartzman and told him that the board had suggested he receive a cowriter’s credit. Schwartzman argued that historian Martin Gilbert had written the bulk of the script, but after Hier convinced Gilbert to share the credit, the director agreed to the change. Later, Hier would also successfully claim a producer’s credit—the one that would enable him to receive an Oscar for the film.

Growing up as a WASP, this elbowing for credit was regarded as unseemly. WASPs are awful at accepting credit and receiving compliments. It makes them uncomfortable because they feel they are filled with sin. I can’t imagine Protestant clergy I’ve known battle for such Hollywood credits. I have not met many Jews who feel that they are full of sin. Jews are happy to take compliments and are often eager to receive credit. The Jews I’ve known have, in general, a more positive sense of self than the Protestants I’ve known. The blacks I’ve known have, in general, have more self-esteem than whites, latinos and asians. From what I’ve seen, whites and asians are more often morose, self-doubting, nerdy and neurotic than blacks.

Rabbi Marvin Hier’s Legacy

Saul Austerlitz writes for Tablet magazine:

Hier’s remarkable success is, in fact, the primary cause of his detractors’ dissatisfaction. “He’s like a high-rent, ethical version of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton,” said Luke Ford, a Los Angeles blogger who covers the Jewish world and has written about Hier. “A fantastic hustler. He knows how to work with the goyim, he’s a master of it, he knows how to do it in a way that brings status to him and to the Jews.” For his part, Hier has heard all the queries and complaints before and often jumps in to answer them—even before they have been asked. “Some of the critics say, ‘Why do you use stars?’ ” he told me. “Well, who should we use? We could say like this: Chaim Bernstein is narrating the first film, Shoshana Feldman is narrating the second film. That won’t go anywhere.”

…And some observers see Moriah’s appeal as even more directly linked to Hier. “Jews dominate Hollywood, and this guy is an authentic Jew. He’s Orthodox. So, he’s the real deal,” said Ford. “And so if you work for free for him, you’re doing the real thing for the Jews, and you’re enhancing your status in Hollywood. There’s no downside to it. You network with other powerful people in Hollywood, and it’s just win-win-win.” Ford argues that working with Moriah is a means of building one’s Hollywood cachet. “It’s like the opposite of saying anything bad about Jews,” said Ford, who mentions Mel Gibson’s tirades as an example of a career-ending anti-Semitic faux pas. “It shows how cool you are. It’s the ultimate fashion statement. And you’re doing it for someone who’s got a really good brand.”

Would Israel Allow A Non-Jew To Command Its Nuclear Arsenal?

No way! So why is the United States allowing a Jew (Jack Weinstein) to command its nuclear arsenal? Do the goyim have any reason to be upset? You can find a string of anti-Jewish websites online lamenting this news.

I don’t have a dog in this fight. I don’t care that Israel is a nationalist Jewish state and would never allow a goy to command its nuclear weapons and I don’t care whether or not the United States appoints a Jew to command its nuclear weapons. It’s all good by me! I prefer to be an observer rather than an activist.

For most Americans, American Jews are their fellow citizens. Few people in the West today regard Jews as unworthy of citizenship. The Jewish Question is dead.

Cristian Bökös: “For the same reason why 52% of Americans voted a Kenyan-born,half-white president educated by muslims and communists,whose black father was not even American.”

I get it. The United States is a multi-racial democracy that does not see skin color, religion, ethnicity when it comes to appointing its citizens to power. So therefore it is morally superior to all other states that do consider these matters, right?

If Jack Weinstein does anything wrong, Jews will get blamed. So perhaps it is best if Jews don’t rise to such powerful positions?

Is there not enough in the Torah to keep us busy? Do we have to command the goyim’s nuclear weapons?

I found an anti-Jewish thread on FB and posted: If we Jews are the puppet masters, why are you goyim so stupid to go along with this? Why are you incapable of managing your own destiny?

I am just curious, why have you yet to prevail when our numbers are so small? Based on the things you guys are saying, you are really pathetic.

You guys sound like blacks complaining about how you can’t get ahead because of the Man. Perhaps you should study harder and work harder and take charge of your own destiny instead of whining about others keeping you down.
