It’s Not Their Fight, It’s Ours

Over the past few weeks, an issue that has been festering ever since the 2020 riots, and even more so since Biden took office finally exploded publicly – the now ongoing protests over the teaching of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in American K-12 schools. To see what is happening has been a breath of fresh air. Heritage America has been losing badly since 2015 (long before then really, but that’s when things really became unraveled) and ever since last year’s George Floyd protests. It looked like it was all over. For a long time, I balked at the suggestion in some circles of the Dissident Right that the United States would soon look like post-apartheid South Africa, mostly because of the vastly greater number of blacks in South Africa, but looking at all the ground surrendered in 2020, it was hard to no longer think of this as a strong possibility. So, to see so much passionate push back against CRT, even in liberal strongholds, has given me hope that normie Middle America, and especially normie Dixie, knows now what is at stake.

For all these positive developments, there has been one major problem with the anti-CRT protests thus far. As to be expected, the organizers are still afraid to be called “racists” and are hyping up the limited number of blacks, Hispanics, and Asians at these protests. Look, I am not calling for the White protesters to call the non-Whites who want to join them racial slurs and run them out. That would be both uncouth and deeply counter-productive. I will even go as far as to say that I understand why many non-Whites would join a protest against CRT. I do understand why some blacks would be offended by the suggestion that they exist purely as the oppressed. I understand why some Asians fear the repercussions of crafting perfect racial balances so many proponents of CRT push – it would then become even harder for their kids to get into top colleges. As far as Hispanics go, yes, let’s keep in mind that “Hispanic” is linguistic and cultural, rather than a purely racial category. Plenty of Hispanics are overwhelmingly European in their genetics and look to Spain and Portugal as the mother of their cultures. To some extent, this question, Spanish or pre-Columbian Amerindian culture (at least their version of it), defines Hispanic politics. For example, see Subcomandante Marcos, himself of a middle-class background and mostly European, serving as spokesman for the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN), a Marxist organization that has controlled most of southern Mexico since the early 1990s versus the Mexican grandmothers, armed with shoes and wooden spoons, that defended statues of St. Junipero Serra from antifa mobs. I can see why they wouldn’t want to see European culture demonized.

Here is the thing though, at the core of CRT, is a demonization of the White race, and even more so Dixians. Hispanic culture, to the extent it isn’t Spanish, isn’t being demonized. Asians being disproportionately negatively impacted by quotas is a bug, not a feature of CRT. And, black culture sure is not going to be demonized. White culture, however, is and that is what those who oppose CRT must come to terms with. This is especially true for Southerners who will face the brunt of this demonization. To appeal to the legacy of Martin Luther King, which in reality means running with a single line from a single speech, won’t work. Viewing “white identity” and “CRT” as two sides of the same coin will not cut it. CRT formalizes a process that has been brewing for years – to teach White children to hate their parents and grandparents and their great-grandparents even more.

It is designed to teach them to hate their history, culture, and religion, giving the Left carte blanche to drastically transform society. This is how Germany was so radically transformed. The German youth of the 1960s and 1970s were told that their parents and grandparents were evil Nazis and thus it was a moral imperative to ignore them. Such a task was always harder to pull off in the U.S. because it’s hard to convince a young person that granddaddy was a Nazi when granddaddy was at D-Day. But, if you can take U.S. history and turn it into one long Holocaust, then such a task becomes easier and the Left now has far greater right to transform culture.

I am fine with Asians, Hispanics, and blacks joining in the fight against CTR. They have their own reasons to do so, especially in the case of Hispanics who identify strongly with Spain. They also face varying forms of degradation. However, at its core, CRT is about the complete demonization of Whites, with Dixians as the greatest target. That means we must lead the fight and focus on what is really going on. In a similar vein, as a Christian, had I lived during the time of the Armenian Genocide, I would have supported the Armenians. But, what support I could have given them does not take away that it was aimed at them, and they would have to lead the fight against it. It would be silly of them to point to my presence as an example of why they didn’t hate non-Armenians. We must have this same attitude.

I have no issue with non-Whites being there. They should not be run off, but to hold them up in hopes of using them as a shield, is foolish. This is an attack on the ability for Heritage America, and especially Dixie, to continue to survive.

If a nation’s children hate it, it cannot survive. This is our fight and we must lead it.
