Dead end

One of the GayPatriot guys, whom I have met, is a bright Libertarian. This means he is not a Conservative, but Conservatives are the only people who give Libertarians the time of day. He told me that seeing humans in terms of race is a dead-end.

He's right.

But not in the way he meant it. He wants to transcend things like race and ethnicity because they stand in the way of his political philosophy, an ideology based on the absolute primacy of the free and ethical individual.

Race is a dead end because there is no way out of it.

My ruminations of late lead me to suspect that the American people once existed because the American people were White Christians...especially and foundationally White Protestants. Blacks were the eternal problem children, a troubled and troublesome minority. Minority.

Once White America gave up the ghost and accepted "Dr"** King, the Black Trojan Horse, into their city, they surrendered their status, their self-confident right to determine what "American" meant, their sense that it was, after all, their country. They all --Liberals and Conservatives alike...at least the "decent" Conservatives-- accepted the suicidal meme that Burnham's Law describes: in the presence of a group they consider less well-off than themselves, they are morally disarmed. The "decent" majority had to dance to the tune of the "suffering" minority. This dance continues to the present day and it is, for us as a people, a Dance of Death.

And now, fifty years later, we have Barack Hussein Obama. Twice. And his travelling menagerie of Holder and Michelle and Susan Rice and the NAACP and SharptonJackson and all their enablers. And the growing Hispanic Invasion that we have given up our moral right to resist. Or even to notice, much less protest, our replacement.

If you look at how things have actually unfolded --not stuck in some Laputan illusion of color blind America where what counts is the content of your character-- it is just as unlikely for Blacks (or, in their wake, Latinos) to really think of themselves as Americans as you'd expect Arabs in Israel to think of themselves as Israelis or as the Irish --even after centuries of inclusion into Great Britain-- to think of themselves as part of the UK or Hungarians to think of themselves as full members of the AustroHungarian Empire, or the Serbs, Bosnians, Croats to think of themselves as Yugoslavians...or the Tibetans to think of themselves as part of China.

Huntington's clash of civilizations is true, both globally and intra-nationally. If you turn Clausewitz on his head, American politics is racial war carried on by different means.

Once the containing lid of White self-confidence and dominance was undone in the second half of the 20th century, what was America began to unravel and what we have now, I suspect, is the formation of eventual new countries based on race. They are alien nations artificially bound by a single government. Unfortunately, they are hugely intertwined, but the only group with any residual allegiance to America are the Whites, and not even all of them.

The experiment was, I now sadly suspect, doomed from the start. Race is indeed a dead end, that is, a limit you can't pass.

**During his life he was usually Rev. That's where a lot of his power came from. Now the Blacks like to call him Dr. Makes him sound smart. And do you think for one minute that if Ex Cathedra had plagiarized his Phd Thesis that he'd still have his doctorate? Yeah, sure.

Read your comment on GayPatriot. Was surprised to see that heliotrope agreed with you, but he still sees things through the "content of character" lens. That said, he emphatically said that many "welfare blacks" are "lacking in character."

Kind of annoyed that there's a continent between me and all you interesting people I converse with over the internet. By comparison, the East Coast is so boring.
