White Nationalism Is a Sickness Still With Us

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


As my Harvard Law School classmate David French noted in 2016, identity politics and racism are ripping us apart. And threatening the well-being of children in racially-mixed households. He gives a personal example in his recent article in the National Review, “America soured on my multiracial family.”

Progressives view adoption of Third-World children by whites as “cultural imperialism” or cultural appropriation.

After French and his wife adopted their youngest child from Ethiopia, they were attacked from both the Left and the Right. From the Left, his wife was confronted by “angry direct messages and sometimes-tense personal encounters in public” by progressives who view adoption of Third-World children by whites as “cultural imperialism” or cultural appropriation.

From the Right, he was attacked by “white nationalists who loathe multiracial families.” As French notes, they despise international adoption, which can provide a better life for Third-World children such as saving them from starvation in underfunded orphanages. As French further notes, these haters “call it ‘race-cucking your family’ or ‘raising the enemy.’” He describes how these white nationalist ghouls lifted pictures of his then-7-year-old daughter from social media and “Photoshopped her into a gas chamber,” “put her image in slave fields,” and posted “gruesome pictures of dead or dying African Americans.”

Patriotism is a good thing. I love America. But nationalism generally isn’t a good thing.

My family has experienced milder forms of racism. My uncle, who is married to a black woman, occasionally gets dirty looks from racist white people. On the other hand, my nephew and niece, who are half-Korean, have seldom encountered prejudice of any kind. Compared to most other countries, America has remarkably low levels of racism. But the unhappy persistence of racism remains a fact.

Patriotism is a good thing. I love America. But nationalism generally isn’t a good thing. Nationalism has served as the pretext for many historical injustices. Many a job-destroying trade war has been caused by international antipathies and frictions fueled by blind nationalism. Free trade is critical to creating jobs and a growing economy. President Herbert Hoover aggravated the Great Depression by signing the massive Smoot-Hawley tariff increase, which sparked trade wars that wiped out most of the jobs in America’s export sector, as I noted in the Ottawa Citizen, Roanoke News & World Report, Winnipeg Free Press, Edmonton Journal, and other newspapers in the United States and Canada.

      Nationalism is not a sickness and it is not just white. You asses sure know how to spin a story don’t you.

    • Real Expert

      So what the author is saying is that they are a proponent for the new world order then?
      Nationalism (Thank God) trumps the NWO movement as it always has. Nationalism is not
      the enemy, YOU are. Throwing White in front of it, just shows how prejudiced you really
      are. We white people had to fight (and in some cases, die for us to get over prejudice),
      people like you are just stoking the flames of prejudice all over again by placing
      white blame on everything wrong with your (or other’s) lives that happens to go wrong.
      Personal responsibility for one’s actions is no longer the matter, blaming whites for
      all things that go wrong, is now the new norm.. It’s either the Russians did it, or
      the whites caused it in today’s world. Go get a real life and take responsibility for
      your own actions. Quit putting “white” in front of your sentences. It was my forefathers
      that walked down from the north to the south in all weather conditions, not knowing
      if they would ever see their families again, and freed the slaves.. Don’t give me your
      “White” B.S. Many of my WHITE soldiers did not make it back to their families. They
      died to free men of color, so they could own property one day, and vote and live
      the American dream (oh there I go again spouting Nationalism.. sorry to upset you).

      I have one more comment for any of you that hate the white men. If you are going
      to talk that talk, the walk that talk too huh? Everything you use invented by a white
      man, throw it out of your lives starting now.. Blues jeans, burn them (white invented,
      I will use WI for White invented the rest of the way in this point).. The computer,
      cell phone, or tablet you are reading right now, throw it away WI. The Air Conditioner
      or heater you use, throw them and your refrigerator away, WI. The car in your
      driveway WI. The gas in your tank WI. The radio or stereo you have WI.
      The lights in your house, pitch those WI. Vacuum cleaner, trash it. Tires on
      your car WI. Airliner you fly on, don’t get on one again.. WI.. Guess you
      will have to go back to living like a caveman huh? If you hate all that the
      white man stands for, go ahead and live without his contributions you use
      every day too okay? OR shut the hell up about “white” trashing. Walk the
      walk, don’t just talk the talk. I’m sick of your white bashing B.S. okay?
      Now go sit down and shut the hell up.. Shame on you for posting this
      article.

      you should actually define what the difference is between nationalism and patriotism.

      because in my eyes it is the same

      The term “nationalism” is usually accustomed describe two phenomena: (1) the angle that the members of a nation have after they care regarding their national identity, and (2) the actions that the members of a nation take once seeking to realize (or sustain) self-determination. (1) Raises questions on the conception of a nation (or national identity), that is commonly outlined in terms of common origin, ethnicity, or cultural ties, and specifically regarding whether or not a person’s membership in an exceedingly nation ought to be thought to be non-voluntary or voluntary. (2) Raises questions about whether or not self-determination should be understood as involving having full statehood with complete authority over domestic and affairs, or whether or not one thing less is needed.

      It is ancient, therefore, to tell apart nations from states — whereas a nation usually consists of associate ethnic or cultural community, a state could be a political entity with a high degree of sovereignty. Whereas many nations are nations in some sense, there are several nations that aren’t absolutely sovereign states. As an example, the Native American Iroquois represent a nation however not a state, since they are doing not possess the requisite political authority over their internal or external affairs. If the members of the Iroquois nation were to attempt to create a sovereign state within the effort to preserve their identity as a people, they might be exhibiting a state-focused nationalism.Nationalism has long been neglected as a subject in political philosophy, written off as a relic from bygone times. It came into the main focus of philosophical dialogue twenty years ago, within the nineties, part in consequence of rather spectacular and worrying nationalist clashes like those in the African nation, the previous Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and therefore the former Soviet republics. Surges of nationalism tend to gift a virtuously ambiguous, and for this reason usually fascinating, picture. “National awakening” and struggles for political independence are usually each heroic and cruel; the formation of a recognizable national state usually responds to deep widespread sentiment however generally yields inhuman consequences, from violent expulsion and “cleansing” of non-nationals to organized slaying. The ethical dialogue on nationalism reflects a deep ethical tension between commonness with burdened national teams on the one hand and repulsion within the face of crimes perpetrated within the name of nationalism on the opposite. Moreover, the problem of nationalism points to a wider domain of issues associated with the treatment of ethnic and cultural variations among democratic polity, arguably among the foremost pressing issues of up to date orientation.
