Some recent results of the November election amplify the theme of racialization of American politics that has been a theme at TOO for some time (e.g., here). Ron Brownstein’s “White Flight” has some familiar themes. 60% of Whites voted Republican (actually higher because the 60% includes Jews and Middle Easterners classified as White but who identify with the non-White coalition centered in the Democratic Party). Meanwhile, 73% of non-White voters backed Democratic House candidates, showing that non-Whites are even more biased in the direction of Democrats than Whites are in the direction of Republicans. Attitudes toward Obama were slightly more skewed.
Reflecting White anxiety about a non-White future, “minorities were almost exactly twice as likely as whites to say that life would be better for the next generation than for their own; whites were considerably more likely to say that it would be more difficult.”
This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Becoming a minority could hardly be thought of as improving one’s life chances—indeed, it may be a whole lot worse even than current voters anticipate given that so many non-Whites hold historical grudges against the traditional people and culture of America.
That’s why I believe that the racialization of American politics will become even more extreme in the future. Presently the base of the Republican Party is the White working class of both sexes and White college-educated men (both voting 2-1 Republican) as well as White seniors (60% Republican). In the last election, even college-educated White women tilted toward Republicans, but only barely.
Despite the fact that the mainstream liberal media presents the Republicans as the party of rich folks, it’s obvious that racial identity politics are far more important than social class for voting Republican, especially for White non-college educated voters. Indeed, business interests, like the Israel Lobby, understand the importance of bipartisan support for their policies, such as free trade that have undercut the labor market for non-college educated people. It is at least doubtful that some policies supported by the Republicans, such as retaining tax cuts for the very wealthy, would be supported by a large portion of its White, non-college educated base. And, despite some real movement on illegal immigration, the Republicans have a long history of doing nothing about the #1 long-term problem facing the party: Massive legal non-White immigration. The landside of non-Whites voting Democrat cuts across social class lines and it’s very doubtful that this will substantially change in the future even if the Republicans completely embrace open borders.
None of this means that Obama will not be reelected in 2012. As Brownstein notes, “partly because the minority share of the vote will almost certainly rise again in 2012, Obama probably won’t need to match his 2008 percentage of the white vote to win a second term.” Not only will non-Whites make up a larger percentage of the electorate (likely around 35% if people of non-European ancestry classified as Whites are included), non-Whites, especially Blacks, will be more motivated. Blacks comprised 10% of the electorate in 2010 while in 2008 they were 13%. They will be out in force in 2012 to support their Black president, as they were in 2008.
Particularly heartening is the decline of the gender gap and the educational gap among Whites. It is stunning that there are no differences among college-educated men, non-college-educated men, and non-college-educated women. White college-educated women are lagging this pattern, but the trend among them is definitely in the right direction — to the point that already a majority are voting Republican. I suspect they will catch up with their male counterparts when voting Republican becomes widely seen as conventional behavior among Whites.
This should put to rest the idea that women are always going to be more inclined to vote Democrat because women are nurturers who are naturally predisposed toward helping non-Whites—that women are naturally prone to accepting the non-White victimology narrative. There are other motivational systems besides nurturance, and in this case it would appear that for most White American women, the threat to the ingroup is trumping the urge to nurture.
It should also do much to erase the idea that educated people necessarily have “progressive” attitudes on non-Whites and multiculturalism. Despite what they heard from their professors, most college-educated people and a landslide of educated White men are voting for the overwhelmingly White party and they have very negative attitudes about our first Black president.
Perhaps the most powerful weapon of the left throughout the 20th century is that they were able to successfully portray people who dissent from conventional leftist moralism as intellectual cretins (think Norman Lear’s Archie Bunker; see here, p. 6ff). This was a result of the triumph of the culture of critique in the media and especially in elite universities from whence it filtered down throughout the educational system. The demise of the connection between brains and leftism is a huge step in the right direction.
The most important point here is that racial identity politics is likely to be more and more obvious to everyone. It will have to be discussed prominently in the media — doubtless with a great deal of moralizing about how this is yet another indication of White racism (ignoring the fact that Whites are still far less likely to vote on the basis of racial/ethnic identity politics than non-Whites).
The result will be that Whites will move from having an implicit racial identity to having an explicit racial identity, and that is all to the good. Eventually Republican elites will have to recognize the racial interests of their base, and if they don’t, there will be a huge opening for a third party—a third position, if you will.
Facing the Future as a Minority
Was the Immigration Act of 1924 Illiberal?
KMD:
“Becoming a minority could hardly be thought of as improving one’s life chances—indeed, it may be a whole lot worse even than current voters anticipate given that so many non-Whites hold historical grudges against the traditional people and culture of America.”
Well, there are a lot of countries where Europeans are a minority and there hasn’t been any “racialization of politics”.
Just look at South America. In some Latin-American countries, the “White” population is mixed with other races to the degree that it no longer considers itself a separate group.
According to Wikipedia, in countries such as Chile and Colombia almost the entire “white” population was shown to have some non-white admixture.
Could this happen in the US?
(I know than Norman Podhoretz would be thrilled… his “Negro problem” would be solved)
Interesting and informative post as always!
What needs to be done now is to make sure this process takes place as quickly as possible.
Over at toqonline.com I have been arguing for more explicit racial consciousness. Politicians will only respond to a racially conscious base if it exists. And who’s going to create this racially-conscious base if we are too busy keeping our mouths shut? I was taken aback by “Yggdrasil” who advised to avoid dealing with our problems straightforwardly, avoid being explicitly pro-white, and volunteer to help Republican politicians.
The worst thing possible would be for whites to throw their lot in with the Republicans, get betrayed by the establishment, and remain without a viable organization of their own. Hopefully the A3P can push the Republicans into a policy of white appeasement while advocates of white interests continue to expand their influence.
Excellent article as always. And Ronald Brownstein has done some fascinating work in regard to Whites and the political landscape in America.
I also notice that most people who voted Republican seem to anticipate some disappointment from the GOP. This may be a good thing, because the various forces of implicit Whiteness (e.g. Tea Partiers) should not be naive about Republicans, as they have been in the past. Things are getting interesting.
Going off to college is presented to the public as a life changing experience. But is it? When a young person is weaned from mother and home we are led to believe that he does not do much more than switch the teat that he suckles. From Mommy to Mommy Professor. And that supposedly makes him a drooling liberal.
The numbers between White college educated and non college educated in the out poll indicate a difference on the questions from 0 to 11% depending on the question.. That is good news. It means that 89% and upwards of Whites are not drinking the university supplied Kool Aid. Their awareness of self interest, ideas, and values are not being changed.
A racial cohesiveness is emerging. Its effectiveness is dependent upon its being acknowledged and formalized. That is the task before us. It is going to take a lot of noise.
KMD: “60% of Whites voted Republican (actually higher because the 60% includes Jews and Middle Easterners classified as White but who identify with the non-White coalition centered in the Democratic Party).”
Kevin, don’t you mean, “because the category of Whites [not just the 60%] includes Jews and Middle Easterners …” ?
Many Blacks make no bones about preferring a Black president simply for his race, ignoring his policies. Whites should at least be able to express a preference for leaders, of any race, who will not permit the destruction of White people and Western culture through immigration policies and political correctness.
A3P had better change its name to something including the word “Nationalist”. This Euro-”3rd Position” confabulation is going nowhere. Too intellectual. As things continue to polarize, we’ve got to get visceral. Cf. Wilder’s anti-raghead video. Very well done.
“nationalist” still has a sour taste to most folks conditioned by the hegemonic liberalism of our times. That hegemony is crumbling. Even the WSJ can see it
I agree that “third position” is too cerebral.
“America First Party” is not bad and it also resonates with folks old enough or well-read enough to know recent American history. “American Nation” would also summon nationalist sentiment as well as all the patriotic and sub-liminal racialism. Tea Partiers are racists, no doubt about it. The pace of polarization is amazing. Liberalism got , as the WSJ put it, rejected, or decisively repudiated at the polls a few weeks ago. “American Nation Party” sounds better and better to me as I feel it. “One Country Party”…? naw.
Let’s work on it. We also need a flag and mascot like the donkey and the elephant. The Eagle is the dominant symbol of America. Might as well use it.
The eagle attacking the cuckoo and its eggs. Good enough for a cartoon, not the WN flag. “New America Party”, “White Phoenix Party”..just joking.

Where is our Betsy Ross? Where is our Lindburgh? It is coming. Joe

“American Tradition” would be a good name.
Barack Obama has cut himself loose from class-based politics as he positions himself for the 2012 election. He is pursuing the corporate and Wall Street-friendly triangulation strategy that Bill Clinton did. There is little hope for much improvement in the economy as whatever countercyclical policies pursued are not enough. Obama is hoping the Republicans will overreach as they did after 1994 election and that will suffice to let him slide back into the White House.
You guys are dreaming. All of these white Republican voters that you are slobbering over are brainwashed Jew worshiping rabid pro-Israel Zionist warmongers. They are complete morons, and their pro-wars for Israel stance makes them very dangerous.
Shut up ZOG. You are a silly one trick pony that repeats the same line over and over.
I would add they are also one half of the “Democracy” shell game of divide and conquer. You know… democracy?…Government of the lowest common denominator?
“Well, there are a lot of countries where Europeans are a minority and there hasn’t been any “racialization of politics”.
Just look at South America.”
Are you serious? Politics in South America is heavily racial. What do you think Hugo Chavez and Evo Morales are about?
OK. There has been some racialization of politics in Bolivia and Venezuela…
But look at countries like Paraguay, Ecuador, etc.
Europeans in those countries mixed up with other races and disappeared without a fight.
The only European group that preserved its identity in those countries are the ethnic German Mennonites.
“The result will be that Whites will move from having an implicit racial identity to having an explicit racial identity, and that is all to the good.”
Yes, I have always believed that whites have a hidden racial identity, and they keep it hidden for good reasons.
I know people who project the multicult ideal in public, but within their own thoughts, they think just like a wn.
There’s plenty examples of leaders doing what the Jews ask of them, but in private, they would sooner cast the Jew out.
That must be a real problem for the Jews. Jews are sneaky, but they can’t read peoples minds.
man, that video freaked me right out!
Those Muslims who behead people are truly sick. And they probably have all emigrated to Britain. Probably live somewhere next to me!
I would not be brave enough to watch the whole video.
That’s really shocking stuff.
I will never understand how they can do that.
And to think Jews would rather let these people into your country than allow it to remain a white majority population.
A lot of WNs are very ignorant about Islam and think fear of Islam is some manufactured neocon plot. They are wrong. Muslims are bad news. Jews AND Muslims are no friends of WNs.
Well,keep it simple. Everybody says there is this race problem, Everybody says this race problem will be solved when the third world pours into every white country and ONLY into white countries and whites are assimilated via intermarriage with all those non-whites. This is a program of GENOCIDE. Needs to be hollered from the rooftops.
“There are other motivational systems besides nurturance, and in this case it would appear that for most White American women, the threat to the ingroup is trumping the urge to nurture.”
I would elaborate on part of this assertion, and suggest that “White American women” are beginning to wake up to the fact that their opportunities to nurture, and feel nurturing, are stunted in this career-driven, sex-without-love-and-commitment influenced society.
(I witness this firsthand daily in the almost sleazy dress of female eligible co-workers, filling the halls, trying to get some attention/validation, in an environment where being sexless is law–that is, no men will give them the time of day, fearing harassment claims; also over 80% of managers are female, overseeing far more competent older white males; and the women aren’t stupid, they realize they weren’t placed in those positions due to experience or other merit, and that results in tentative, self-conscious actions)
They try to do all they’re supposed to, and at the end of the day, far too many feel unloved, and unloving.
Their mind and perhaps even heart-driven desire to obey authority, pushes them in opposition to, and in rebellion against, their fundamental natures, when they are led to oppose what allows for love, in all of its types (except perhaps self-love, but even that is warped by the mainstream media).
The cognitive dissonance cannot continue year after year, generation after generation, heartbreak after heartbreak, without the numbness eventually fading, leaving a raw core exposed.
Poignant emotion is a cry, a resounding cry, within them, sounded to their friends and family, to their communities, and ultimately the world.
The hand that rocks the cradle rocks the world.
When that hand rocks not, it will form a fist of righteousness that inspires themselves and their menfolk.
And those who so long have fed them lies unto barren, loveless death, shall learn true fear of love and passion so long quenched, igniting into a roaring firestorm.
@Liam
Well said, very poetic. I hope it true!
CompassionateFascist – they use the name American Third Position because it appeals to the right people. It sends the message to other intellectual elites that “we’re not the Klan”.
To understand references to the term “Third position” means that you are culturally literate and therefore desirable.
You wouldn’t want members of White gangs or the KKK to be attracted to the a3p would you? You wouldn’t want to have people join the a3p that you wouldn’t want your 17 year old niece around would you, assuming you don’t have a 17 year old daughter.
To assure others that you don’t have no truck with David Duke is much more important to academics then a popular name that might attract members of the Tea Party.
sk,
this idea of assimilation and intermarriage is exactly what the jewish community is fighting. They are in the for-front in politics, media , moral watchdog, finances etc. which can buy them a voice, esteem, from all walks of life, along with their successes, and fight for their own right to keep their racial identity, or religious purity here in the US, or in Isreal’s Fundementalism. The sad part is, that their success (also the success of other minority groups within the US or elsewhere) is our demise, or better said, at our expense. (whites) Isn’t this what was said in Europe before?
What will the “third party” bring?
Let it not be another Hitler on our heads, there has to be a better way, as to become so desperate, which accompanies blindness. (WWI) We can not learn from the PAST if we are not allowed to discuss the past ‘truthfully” and intelligently. It does not serve the whites, and it does not serve the Jew, unless their pay off is “the eternal victim”, and the Gentile the eternal perpretator.
We must fight for free speech, no matter how painful, if healing this, or any other country, race, or culture, can take place, and move to healthy actions or activism. (We are all suffering from paralysis). I have always believed that the psychology department has miserably failed, in that it does not publicly, or make known to all, the seriousness of the various war-ailments to the citizens of a country, and those actualy engaged in warfare. (The US is finaly getting a very small taste of it) May it be a culture war, racial war, battle of the sexes, religious wars and so forth. The aftermath leaves people crippled, not only physical, but also mentaly, (war-psychosis) and emotionaly, for which all sides (races or countries), no matter of what kind of war, become responsible to their people. (that is why I am a democrat) The state of affairs in a country or politics, and the ability for the wrong people to gain power or control, may it be Jews, Obama, or who ever else anyone may perceive to be wrong for a job, or position, not to mention the under-educated, or those unable to think, learn and draw accurate conclusions for themselves,… it should be said, is a failure of the sciences, or so called educated interllectual intelligencia, (who run this country with their greed)encluding the psychologies, to keep the FREE SPEECH window open for ALL victims, not just the jewish. If we feel MUZZELED, and we actualy are, (I have often thought this is like Nazism), the PSYCHOLOGIES should open their Books of knowledge and understanding, that the power of expression, from oppression and so forth, is vital to all. That encludes POLITICS, the Banking-Industry or the Media-owned selected News, to the smalles arena, the ghettos and race-wars, and allow the outrages to have a voice and healing, and I will step on your toe for my right ot live, instead of a turning to silentcing, more crime, and more wars.
WHITES and Jews particular must dialogue their past, the greed, their religion, and what ever constitutes their rights of exploiting or diminishing one human being in statue, worth or value from another. *NO RELIGION HAS THAT RIGHT”, or any educated group.
Let the THIRD PARTY be humanly aware, and well healed of all past wars. I doubt this person or group exists.
European:
Natural Polarization party….Since life is basically a contest between people for status, value, power etc.
It is futile to try to make people “equal” “free” “fair” etc. To do so is to actually make things WORSE than nature intended.
The most equitable and healthy system is a Double Hierarchy of men and women, each with their own value system…Natural Polarization.
Thus everyone can “win” because they have a role/place in society. “A place for everyone, and everyone in their place”
European you sound more Asian. Its the Third Position, as well as a third party.
Jews role in society is passive aggressive. There is no defense for such behavior. So you have to be aggressive to get rid of them. That is why they have always been violently driven from every place they ever lived in Europe. That is why Hitler and the Nazis, god rest their souls, spoke of a “final” solution.
White people, as the article above speaks about, panic and revolt when they see how radically jews change society to do harm to them in their own countries.
Then they realize that one jew in the United States Senate is much more dangerous than the Arab terrorists they have been committing a holocaust against and they turn their guns on the jews.
Previously it was Europeans, Germans and Russians who fought against the jews but we’re Americans. What do you think we’ll do to them?
“What do you think we’ll do to them?
Continue sucking their pee-pees, in perpetuity.
“Barbara January 9, 2011 – 5:07 pm Jews role in society is passive aggressive. There is no defense for such behavior… Previously it was Europeans, Germans and Russians who fought against the jews but we’re Americans. What do you think we’ll do to them?”
The frequency of different personality types (and Personality Disorders) may well vary between groups if there’s a large genetic component, but consider this: are the Japanese ‘White People’? Are the Iranians (land of the Aryans)? What about the Chinese and Koreans, and the Indians cf. Generlia D’Souza – see her in the film ‘Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na’)? I raise this just to point out that classes and classification is very important if one is not to end up pointlessly squabbling (if not worse – see recent events in Arizona and remarks in the Jewish press:
http://www.jta.org/news/article/2011/01/09/2742456/giffords-staffer-gabe-zimmerman-killed-in-arizona-shooting
Note, that according to the US Census Bureau, the US population is slowly changing, and dramatically. By 2050, White Americans (which include Jewish people) will be a minority. The higher birth rate of the Hispanics largely accounts for this. Over in Europe, birth rates are all below replacement level (except amongst Muslims, and in some boroughs of London White British are already a small minority in the lower age bands). Are Muslims to be vilified for proscribing ‘riba’ (interest basd loans) and for otherwise behaving much like Catholics, or have they too been lured into adopting values inimical to their economic prosperity (see Ireland, Spain and Portugal in the past)? Some EU countries are now in much worse shape than others (especially East European, but see also Spain, Portugal etc). Over in Asia (outside of the PRC where the population is actively state managed), this appears to be a Liberal-Democratic (Libertarian) phenomenon, i.e. it’s true of Japan and the S E Asian Liberal-Democracies in general. These political economies were, you will note, ‘White American’ creations (even the European Project after WWII).
This is now the major political, i.e ideological/economic problem I suggest. Too many Libertarians seem to want to have their cake and eat it, even when it’s killing them?
It is indeed a difficult political issue in anarchistic liberal-democracies, for how does one get anything done when so many people oppose regulation? Are we not seeing the price? I suggest we did not see this problem in the past because it is a very slow, self-destructive process brought about by good, but naive, almost child-like intentions, alas “The road to hell is paved with good intentions”.
David:
Interesting post, and I agree with much of it. Remember Jim Bakers famous quote ? “The economy stupid”
What do you make of the fact that in the last thirty or so years technology has virtually made human labor obselete in the developed world anyway. And at the same time…and adding to the labor pool….the population has grown…leading to mass unemployment, poverty, credit over-extention etc. think abot the ramifications both economically and socially…
Barbara:
“To understand references to the term “Third position” means that you are culturally literate and therefore desirable”
The trouble is that the educated probably know that fascism was also Third Position (among several others). Now, I realize this was not the intention when the name of the party was chosen, but that was my first thought when I heard the name.
I think the best idea for our long term survival is the Sailer Strategy; that is, for as many of us as possible to vote for our already exisiting de facto white party.
henry b,
I disagree, your statement is a cop-out not to want to do the hard work. We are not all equal, but we all have value and worth to live in our God given full capacity. To have this greedy slave-master system in plain english, is not natural and irresponsible.
And no, I am not Asian Barbara, I am European living in America and see the worse and the best of two worlds.
Jews fought and aligned themselfes always with the Nobles in the middle ages and later with the Ruling Clowns. That got them into the Universities and the education systems of their times they boost about today. They fought the class wars. If that is natural selection, and they become the ruling class here in America, well then what are we talking for, sit back and enjoy the groups demise. a Double Hierarchy is “created” and is not natural.
European:
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, But I would just like to make two points:
One; equality doesn’t exist in nature
Two; hierarchy, or what you call a “greedy master-slave system” does.
Also a double hierarchy is the most natural way for humans to live, and did, until the last hundred years or so.
That is to say that men had a male value system (hierarchy) and women had a seperate but equal value system (hierarchy.) Thus, a woman of high rank would marry a man of similar rank. and the system worked for 5000 years or so. Compare that to the so-called equality of the last century
There were many horrors of the old system, but they were mostly due to ignorance (superstition) A new system based on the old natural law would work even better jmo
correction: sit back and enjoy the groups demise,
“I mean our demise”
I’m from the UK and newish to this site and would be interested to know why you’ve given up on Obama. I thought he was half-white, so why do you call him black?
I’m not suggesting you haven’t thought about it, just wondering.
Steve: “I’m from the UK and newish to this site and would be interested to know why you’ve given up on Obama. I thought he was half-white, so why do you call him black?”
He identifies Black, married Black, committed to an anti-White church, and pursues Black interests at the expense of Whites.
That makes sense. On the other hand, he is Christian as opposed to another Malcolm X and his policy on Israel was more even-handed than is usual from mainstream USA. We don’t really have the healthcare issue in the UK, if that’s what you mean by “at the expense of whites”.
I’m afraid I’m not convinced by the sociobiological accounts of religion, not entirely at least, that you seem to be making part of your platform. The idea of legitimising ethnic interests chimes with me though.
