On racial speech

Some readers take me to task for the frank racial wording I sometimes use, as in the below headline, “Nonwhite man set fires that have killed 200 people in Australia.” They say that with such language I make myself look racist and needlessly marginalize myself.

Let me therefore clarify what I am about. When I write things such as, “Nonwhite man set fires that have killed 200 people in Australia,” my purpose is not to make white people hate and strike back at nonwhites. My purpose is to draw attention to certain underlying racial realities of which I constantly speak: (1) that race matters, especially when we are dealing with large numbers of different races living in the same society; (2) that a mass nonwhite influx into a white society will, among other problems, inevitably bring with it unstable, alienated, criminal, or racially hostile individuals who will harm members of the host society; (3) that black America either harbors or tolerates a profound racial hostility against the white majority, a hostility that exists at every level of the U.S. black community, ranging from low-level criminals to the church that our current president attended for 20 years; and (4) that blacks in the U.S. have a staggeringly high rate of violence, much of which is directed at whites.

Why do I draw attention to these things? One, because I want to make whites realize that mass nonwhite immigration into a white society is a mistake that should be stopped and, to the extent possible, reversed; and, two, because I want whites to be realistic about black anti-white violence and to take reasonable measures to protect themselves from it, such as not going about alone in black areas, such as letting society return to normal and natural patterns of residential racial segregation, or, at the very least, opposing enforced residential integration, as in the ruinous Section 8 program that deliberately brings poor blacks into middle class white neighborhoods.

Of course there is much more to say on these subjects. My purpose here is simply to make it clear that I have no interest in getting white people to hate nonwhites. My interest is in getting white people to see certain racial realities that they currently do not see, and to take rational and moral steps to respond to them. And the first principle of morality is, of course, self-preservation.

Note: To see how consistent my approach to these problems has been over the years, see the chapter, “On the meaning of racism,” in my 1990 booklet, The Path to National Suicide: An Essay on Immigration and Multiculturalism.
