Richard Spencer On The Jewish Question

Richard Spencer appears on this October 28, 2017 podcast.

Eighty nine minutes in, a host says: “I want to give you a chance to clear the air. I notice that a fair amount of people criticize you for being weak on the JQ. I’ve heard you describe ideologues you don’t like as having a Jewish hearth. I’ve heard you talk in depth about the extent of Jewish influence and I’ve heard you juxtapose Jewish philosophy with that of our people. What do you have to say to your critics? Is there something about your style that people don’t get?”

Richard: “It’s a question of style. And also it’s a strategic choice. There are people who I consider friends and colleagues such as Andrew Joyce, I’m working on his manuscript which is a book on the Jewish Question [Talmud and Taboo], and Kevin MacDonald, who’s spoken at the last four NPI conferences… They’ve done an amazing job deconstructing the Jewish mind and seriously considering the Jewish Question. It is probably my role to focus on other areas and to look at ourselves and to remind us that Jews do have power because we allow them to. They aren’t just this outside entity, like Israel that controls American foreign policy, but they’re in our heads. They’ve been able to inform how we understand ourselves and how we understand the world.”

“That’s kinda a meme from 2016 that I’m pro-Jewish or want to avoid this question. I don’t know how anyone can say that now. I’ll never live down [his joke that homosexuals are the last stand of implicit white identity]… That is obviously a serious misunderstanding of how I see the world and what I believe.”

Host: “I’ve been asked many times — what is it with you and the Jews. I say, you misunderstand the fundamental point of my opposition. These things that I see as damaging and degenerative to my society just happen to coincide with the Jews. Is it a Jewish thing? I don’t know. I’m railing against things that I see as destructive in my society. I can’t help but notice. But is it motivated by the Jews? No. They’re a symptom of the larger problem that needs to be addressed.”

Richard: “I agree with that to a large extent. The problem to a large extent is in ourselves. I’m not sure that Jewish power, to the degree to which they have it right now, can function outside the white race. If the white race were to end, I’m not sure the Jews could control the Chinese in the way they control us. They don’t just control us merely through political power, they control us through moral power. We think that they are sacred, that they are’t just another people. The Jewish Question ultimately has to be a question about us. How do they have such a hold over our minds that their history is sacred. Their schema in creating culture has had such a hold over our minds. The JQ is ultimately a WQ (White Question).”

Host: “As a father of children that if they whine loud and long enough, I’ve been known to give in. Fundamentally, white people seem to be conflict averse. If you will just stop your kvetching, hush.”

Richard: “The myth of the Holocaust is far more powerful than the fact of the Holocaust. There was a tremendous amount of suffering. We don’t have to talk about numbers. There is a tremendous amount of suffering in the world. History is a slaughter bench. The Rape of Nanking is not sacred to white people in the way the Holocaust does.”

“Why is their history sacred? I think a lot of it has to do with that we are worshiping their God.”

Alt Right Is Often More Polite Than Conservatives

Richard Spencer says in this October 28, 2017 podcast: “Conservatives have been race baiting for decades.”

Richard Spencer wrote in 2013:

Who, really, can be surprised by National Review ‘s firing of John Derbyshire on April 6, 2012, for the sin of practicing anthropology without a license? Who can be surprised, as well, by the reaction of the “conservative movement,” whose partisans, seemingly without exception, took the opportunity to dance on The Derb’s grave?

The real shocker is that John lasted as long as he did.

Perhaps his secret was that he would always lace race realism with irony and humor, lighting the mood while stalking the big taboos.

Take, for instance, this passages from the Derb Canon, one of my favorites:

In September 2006, political scientist Robert Putnam was awarded the Johan Skytte Prize, one of the most prestigious in his field. The prize is awarded in Uppsala, Sweden, by a Scandinavian scholarly association. (Skytte was a seventeenth-century Swedish grandee.)

As usual with such events in the academic world, Putnum presented a research paper to commemorate the event. The paper is titled “E Pluribus Unum: Diversity and Community in the Twenty-first Century.” [ . . . ]

The paper has a very curious structure. After a brief introduction (two pages), there are three main sections, headed as follows:

+ The Prospects and Benefits of Immigration and Ethnic Diversity (three pages)
+ Immigration and Diversity Foster Social Isolation (nineteen pages)
+ Becoming Comffortable with Diveristy (seven pages)

I’ve had some mild amusement here at my desk trying to think up imaginary research papers similarly structured. One for publication in a health journal, perhaps, with three sections titled

+ Health benefits of drinking green tea
+ Green tea causes intestinal cancer
+ Making the switch to green tea!

Derbyshire’s offending article at Takimag, “The Talk: Non-Black Version,” was, no doubt, a little too frank. People recognized exactly what Derbyshire had in mind—not only regarding the natural behavior of Black people but the lie of “equality” at the heart of contemporary “conservatism.”

But it’s worth dwelling on this question “What took NR so long?”

A plausible answer is offered by The Atlantic’s Elspeth Reeve:

The truth about intellectual magazines is that not all of their readers are as enlightened and forward-thinking and clear-eyed as the people who produce them imagine themselves to be. So the trick to pull off is how to give what those less enlightened readers want — and thereby secure their money either through subscriptions or contributions — while still maintaining an air of respectability. Think of how your PBS station always trots out the stars-of-the-1970s concerts and River Dance whenever pledge drive comes around. That’s where Derbyshire comes in.

You’re probably familiar with the phrase, “No offense, but…” which always precedes something offensive wrapped in an “I’m just telling it like it is” attitude. In certain parts of the country, there’s a similar use of the phrase, “I’m not racist, but…” which always signifies that the speaker is about to say something racist. Derbyshire’s specialty is the fancy-pants version of “I’m not racist, but…”

Reeve, of course, always wanted Derb to be fired. He’d much prefer conservatives who are “enlightened and forward-thinking” (that is, neutered)—people like Rich Lowry, who agree with liberals on the essentials and only want to argue about details.

In this way, Reeve hints at a basic asymmetry between the American Left and Right—with both, the constituents are to the right of the leadership.

The Left gains support from the public by appearing normal: they care about the trees and the children and are trying to create jobs with benefits and pensions. The actual leaders are far more radical and far more dedicated to dispossessing and replacing the middle-of-the-road White people who support them.

With the Right, on the other hand, the conservative base is, in its guts, “racist”. I don’t doubt that most self-described conservatives grasp what is really happening to their country. They have sour memories of their (re-)educated children scoffing at the “talks” they’ve given to them about Black people over the years. They’ve spent a great deal of their incomes isolating themselves and their families from “Diversity.”

In other words, the conservative base supports its “enlightened and forward-thinking” leaders despite what they say and do (and how they look). The base supports its leaders because it views them, rightly or wrongly—for the most part, quite wrongly—as on the side of the “home team.”

Derbyshire might have offended some NR readers with his scientific worldview, but it was always clear to them that he was in their corner racially and culturally.

Those who truly walk a tightrope, or who “dance around these issues” (in Lowry’s words) are not the John Derbyshires of the movement (if any still remain) but the Rich Lowrys. It is they who must ensure that White anxiety, anger, and hope is safely and effectively channelled into the quarantine of the Republican Party and “conservative movement.”

John Derbyshire got off script.

* * *

In the 24-to-48 hours since Derbyshire’s firing, NR writers, and especially those at more popular websites like Breitbart and the Daily Caller, have been falling over themselves denouncing Derb and claiming that they lack all sympathy for his plight.

For the past few weeks, however, these same sites have been dedicated to documenting, meticulously, exactly what Derbyshire was warning about.

Ever since President Obama symbolically adopted Trayvon Martin, the Daily Caller has been posting stories on the not-so-innocent life of the murder victim, revealing his “No Limit Nigga” Twitter account, the thuggish photos, and not-so-flattering aspects of his record.

Much of this is, of course, legitimate investigation into a national story. But in a very real sense, sites like the Daily Caller are doing exactly what the Left says they are doing—race-baiting. They’re pushing buttons, dropping hints, “Trayvon’s really a nigga,” wink-wink . . . (Colin Liddell has termed this “sub-racism.”)

Glenn Beck and the late Andrew Breitbart are (and were) Grand Masters of the race-baiting game. Breitbart rose to national awareness publishing videos of James O’Keefe, dressed as a ‘70s Black pimp, entering a Black-run ACORN office in search of government funding for his “ho.” Breitbart later warned conservatives of the dangers of Black Nationalists in the Department of Agriculture. His posthumous coup (which ultimately fell flat) was to hint that the President himself isn’t what he seems . . . . He’s no liberal backed by Wall Street, no; he’s a closet Black Nationalist! Analogously, Glenn Beck’s upward trajectory began when he announced, on Fox and Friends, that Barack Obama “has a deep seated hatred of White people or the White culture.”

The Blaze and Breitbart (Beck’s and Breitbart’s answers to the Huffington Post) have filled their webpages with salacious stories of various flash-mob attacks and general Black misbehavior. As I write (Sunday, April 8), the top story on The Blaze is about the New Black Panther Party’s call for a “race war.” On the same night that Breitbart declared John Derbyshire to be a non-person, its best-read story was one on a unsuspecting White Man who ventured into Black Baltimore and was attacked and stripped of all clothes and possessions by a feral gang.

When Andrew Breitbart explicitly talked about his political philosophy, one got the impression that he was some kind of universalistic libertarian. Beck outdoes him in genuflecting to the myth of Martin Luther King. But what they signal to their readers is quite different. 

Owing to the decline of the “gate keeper” media, at no point in the past half-century has implicit racism been more intense. And at at no point have explicit racists, like Derb, been more furiously denounced.

The new wave of conservatives, represented by Breitbart and Beck, have peddled implicit racism; they’ve made a great deal of money off implicit racism. But the trick only works if they shun and condemn anything approaching actual nationalism.

With race-baiting, racism remains just that—bait. The ultimate object is for Whites to continue voting Republican, and to view this as resolving their fears and anxieties and fulfilling their hopes. The moment racism ceases to be a short-circuit in the minds of the American Majority, it must be censored furiously.

Derbyshire’s real crime was that he refused to race-bait. He instead told the truth.

* * *

Though I rooted on Republicans in middle and high school, never in my adult life was I part of the “movement,” whose foreign policy and basic worldview—defined by George W. Bush, neocons, and various FOX celebrities—repulsed me. After meeting the persons who populate official “conservatism” in the Beltway, I recognized that my instincts had been sound.

Since I’ve always been on the “alt” side of the Right, I’ve befriended many for whom the NR and movement “purges” have taken on a kind mythical status. (Paul Gottfried, for one, has allowed his (justified) hatred of neocons to color almost everything he writes and says publicly.) I, on the other hand, never understood why intelligent people would complain about being pushed out into cleaner air. (Needless to say, making a living has much to do with it, and the various movement purges have hit many good people where it hurts.)

It is, of course, NR’s prerogative whom it hires and fires, and it doesn’t ultimately surprise me that the magazine has, over the decades, attacked Ayn Rand and Pat Buchanan and “purged” from its ranks Revilo Oliver, Murray Rothbard, and Sam Francis. All of these figures were too radical and too interesting, in their own ways, to support NR’s quest for “respectability.”

That said, it’s hard to mistake the trajectory of official “conservatism” as anything other than a gradual degeneration and dumbing-down. NR has gone from James Burnham and Russell Kirk to Kathryn Jean Lopez and various man-children spouting human-rights doctrines.

A part of me, a demonic part of me, is thus quite happy that The Derb was next on the list. It makes the mainstream Right much stupider . . . more defined by the Goldbergs, Ponnurus, Lowrys, and Lopezes of the world . . . and more obviously a racket and dead-end.

The conservative movement deserves to die. And it must be fully de-legitimized before we can build something new in its place. The firing of John Derbyshire brought us a step closer.

Jewishness Is Whiteness From A Muslim Perspective

Is Hollywood Different After Harvey Weinstein?

Danielle Berrin writes for the Jewish Journal:

Last week, I had dinner with two high-level film producers, both male, and two women who worked for one of them. The only thing we discussed for three hours was Harvey Weinstein and the sexual politics of the entertainment industry.

And let me tell you something: The only sea change I detected at this gathering was the fish of the day.

Both male producers agreed that Harvey Weinstein is an “ugly, pock-marked, smelly bully.” But a rapist? Not so much.

“Most of the women accusing Harvey made a deal with the devil,” one of them said. “If you go to a man’s room at 11 at night, you know what you’re in for. And believe me, I stayed down the hall from him at the Hotel du Cap in Cannes, so I saw the processional of actresses who knocked on his door at all hours.”

So, I guess sexual assault is permissible if it occurs after 11 p.m.?

Next, I was told “the vast majority” of women accusing Weinstein of sexual impropriety really were trading sex for career advancement.

If that’s true, I asked, shouldn’t more of his accusers be movie stars?

When I puzzled over the fact that so many women would claim abuse if they had made “deals” with Weinstein, I was told their confessionals were born of shame for having prostituted themselves early on.

I brought up the actress Annabella Sciorra, who told The New Yorker that Weinstein violently raped her in the early 1990s.

“I’ve known Annabella Sciorra for many years,” one of the producers said, going on to offer a preposterous claim intended to disparage her.

“If you don’t want sex,” the other admonished, “why would you open the door to a man in the middle of the night?”

Actually, “It wasn’t that late,” Sciorra told The New Yorker. “Like, it wasn’t the middle of the night, so I opened the door a crack to see who it was. And [Weinstein] pushed the door open.”

I also asked about Rose McGowan, who suggested Weinstein raped her in 1997. She, too, was callously dismissed.

And when the subject turned to other infamous Hollywood abusers, I was lectured on how “each year, 2,000 young actresses come to L.A. and they will do anything — anything — to be famous.”

I got the feeling these producers feel like victims themselves, since so many young women must use them for parts.

“It’s called ambition,” one of them said.

“Decades ago, I was desperate to sell a TV show and I slept with the female executive who could give it the green light. So I closed my eyes during the act and fantasized about someone else. We do what we must.”

Consensual sex is the sort of ordeal that afflicts men in power.
