White Shift: Race & Populism

| Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance. | |
| Recently, I was interviewed for what CNN promised would be, in its words, an hour-long, serious treatment of white nationalism. | |
| I accepted skeptically, and I wrote back, I will permit myself to hope that the word hate will not be in the title of your program, and that my interview will not be sandwiched between footage of goose-steppers and cross-burners. | |
| Ha, vain hope. | |
| The program was called State of Hate, the Explosion of White Supremacy. | |
| My co-stars were Dylann Roof, Timothy McVeigh, the New Zealand mosque shooter, and, of course, Adolf Hitler, along with hundreds and hundreds of Klansmen. | |
| CNN draws a straight line from me to mass murder and genocide, but academics, at least in Europe, have actually begun to try to understand white advocacy. | |
| And they've discovered that we have legitimate interests and deserve a voice in politics. | |
| One example of this wiser view is the book White Shift, Populism, Immigration, and the Future of White Majorities. | |
| The author, Eric Kaufman, is professor of politics at Birkbeck College, University of London. | |
| Professor Kaufman understands why whites all around the world Don't want to become minorities. | |
| And he sees the danger of what CNN is trying to do, namely, demonize white identity and force it underground. | |
| Let me quote from Whiteshift. | |
| Not only is white group self-interest legitimate, but I maintain that in an era of unprecedented white demographic decline, it is absolutely vital for it to have a democratic outlet. | |
| Vital. He goes on to say, He even notes that progressives want to shove whites right out the door. | |
| White decline emboldens the cultural left, he writes, with its dream of radical social transformation. | |
| He goes on to warn that if the government backs this transformation, and if whites are shut out of politics, they could, And I quote again,"Start viewing the government as an enemy." Pretty strong talk. | |
| Another book that recognizes white interests is National Populism: The Revolt Against Liberal Democracy by Roger Eatwell and Matthew Goodwin, two more British professors. | |
| By National Populism, they mean white support for immigration control parties throughout the West. | |
| They understand why white people And they go on to write this. | |
| National populists are appealing strongly to people who share distinct and legitimate beliefs about how this rapid change poses cultural and demographic risks. | |
| Legitimate beliefs. | |
| Again, unlike CNN, which wants to treat dissidents like insects, Roger Eatwell and Matthew Goodwin write, These are legitimate, democratic issues that millions of people want to discuss and address. | |
| Believe it or not, this book, startlingly full of common sense, was named a Sunday Times Book of the Year for 2018. | |
| Another even-handed European treatment is the identitarians, the movement against globalism and Islam in Europe. | |
| It's by José Pedro Zucchete at the University of Lisbon. | |
| Dr. Zucchete explains that identitarians have a traditional morality that elites have rejected, adding that identitarians value, quote, territorial belonging, historical and cultural inheritance, collective memory, | |
| Hereditarianism and ethnic ties. | |
| Yes, we do value those things. | |
| Dr. Zuckete even explains why American identitarians talk more about race than European identitarians. | |
| He quotes me, respectfully, I might add, as follows. | |
| Americans have no choice but to speak in terms of race as our unifying factor. | |
| Whereas European nationalists can emphasize language, history, and culture without specifically talking about race. | |
| American academics don't have anything like this sane perspective. | |
| Making Sense of the Alt-Right by Professor George Hawley of the University of Alabama is a mostly accurate description of the ideas and people in the dissident right. | |
| However, Professor Hawley calls us a racist movement, and he claims that, quote, If the alt-right continues to grow in size, it may represent a serious challenge for America's liberal democracy. | |
| You see, Europeans understand that if democracy means anything, we have to be heard. | |
| Professor Hawley thinks we're a threat to democracy. | |
| Ashley Jardina of Duke University is even more hostile in a book called White Identity Politics, but she does make a surprising concession. | |
| White identity is not synonymous with racial animus and is not a proxy for white supremacy or extremism. | |
| Are you listening, CNN? | |
| She even recognizes that, quote, white identity may be, in part, a reaction to the development of other strong racial identities in American society, and that this raises the obvious question. | |
| Whites wonder... | |
| If blacks, Latinos, Asians, and others can organize around their race or ethnicity, why can't we do the same? | |
| Well, she says, we can't. | |
| Because, in her words, whiteness, by its very nature, is constructed in opposition to other groups. | |
| Racial solidarity is healthy for everyone else, but pathological for us. | |
| The usual rubbish. | |
| Now, doesn't she look like a sweet, earnest white woman? | |
| But Professor Giardina does write something interesting. | |
| Americans today remain more polarized around issues of race than ever. | |
| Really? More polarized than in 1860 when South Carolina seceded over slavery? | |
| More polarized than in 1968 when Martin Luther King was assassinated and there were race riots in more than 100 American cities? | |
| If she's right, and I'm not arguing with her, then it sounds to me... | |
| She could be saying that race is a problem that can't be solved. | |
| And even though she hates it, Professor Giardina realizes that white people everywhere are waking up. | |
| As I said to my CNN interviewer, I can assure you more and more white people agree with me all the time. | |
| European academics see this, and they take it seriously. | |
| They understand that whites have legitimate interests, even if... | |
| We are kept off of campuses, out of politics, silenced on social media, and smeared on TV. | |
| American elites, even more than European elites, rely on pure repression to try to squash ideas they can't refute. | |
