Quickies: “White Supremacy”

     I’ve just watched a video that’s mostly a routine Red Ice production. The narrator, Lana Loktieff, makes various sound points. However, what has my fingers smashing keys at the moment is this one little bit, which I’ve clipped loose for the purposes of this tirade:

     The video above is only 14 seconds long. Please watch it.

     Here’s what InfoGalactic has to say about Noel Ignatiev:

     Noel Ignatiev (born 1940) is an author and historian. He is best known for his work on race and social class and for his call to abolish "whiteness". Ignatiev is the co-founder and co-editor of the journal Race Traitor and the New Abolitionist Society, a journal that promotes the idea that "treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity". He also has written a book on antebellum northern xenophobia against Irish immigrants, How the Irish Became White. His publisher bills him as "one of America's leading and most controversial historians".

     Also:

     Ignatiev, the son of Jewish immigrants from Russia, was raised in Philadelphia. He attended the University of Pennsylvania but dropped out after three years.

     Under the name Noel Ignatin, he joined the Communist Party USA in January 1958, but in August left (along with Theodore W. Allen and Harry Haywood) to help form the Provisional Organizing Committee to Reconstitute the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party (POC). He was expelled from the POC in 1966.[5]

     Later he became involved in the Students for a Democratic Society. When that organization fractured in the late 1960s, Ignatiev became part of the Third-worldist and Maoist New Communist Movement, forming the group Sojourner Truth Organization in 1970.

     And finally:

     Ignatiev is part of a group of social scientists of the late 20th and early 21st centuries who view race distinctions and race itself as a social construct, not a scientific reality (however, the idea of "race" in the sense that Ignatiev wishes to challenge developed in the 17th century and has been disputed and rejected by scientists and scholars for much of the 20th Century).

     “There can be no white race without the phenomenon of white supremacy.” Isn’t Ignatiev saying that whites:

  1. Have advanced faster than the other races;
  2. That we did so because of our inherent characteristics?

     Doesn’t it imply rather strongly that therefore, the other races cannot, by their very nature, catch up with us -- ?

     Perhaps not, since Ignatiev denies that race is biologically meaningful. Of course, he does so with some utterly specious “logic.” But expecting a Communist to make sense is about like expecting ice to spontaneously explode into flames.

     Remember the little snippet above; it's a touchstone of great importance. Show it to your left-leaning friends, assuming they haven’t all disavowed you. Ask them if they agree with Ignatiev’s statements. If they say they agree, ask them what they think of the prospects for harmony in a multiracial society. As for this racist, I’d say it’s just about time for lunch.

  1. You sometimes add key words found at the bottom of your posts.

    Let me urge that you add revealing to this one.

    Lunatic would be a disservice to those who are but not also inherently evil.

  2. Traitor is the word I'd use to describe the man.

    There's an old Yiddish proverb to the effect that while it's important for a Jew to not cheat [or betray] another Jew, it's especially critical to not do so to non-Jews... for such will bring shame and dishonor upon the entire Jewish community.

    This man is betraying America, and Western Civilization. The problem is that he and his JINO ilk truly believe, with the same faith that I believe in G-d, that by eliminating whites (and the West) world peace will break out.
