C. F. van Niekerk:

White American flag-wavers are all stirred up over black football players who sit or kneel during the National Anthem. But white American tribalists of various stripes guffaw and say “What do you expect from a bunch of niggers?”

(I don’t know why people want to watch that foosball anyhow, bunch of full-grown monsters man-handling each other. Watch hockey instead!)

As the United States continues to crack apart into various self-centered tribes, a cultural gulf has gaped open between, on the one hand, those race-conscious American whites who see the U.S. government and culture as a foreign enemy, and on the other hand, those relatively traditional American whites, generally old folks and patriotic “normies”, who, in their ignorance, still believe in the system, and who still equate the overall United States to a single American nation.

E Pluribus Unum or E Unus Pluribum: One White America, Or Many?

Until the 1960’s, the United States equalled what we would now call “white America” and vice versa. Until the 1980’s, average Americans could still credibly pretend that the United States was a single nation with a single people.

Yes, some blacks lived here, too, in those days, along with a growing number of other non-whites, but outside the cities and certain parts of the country, such people were hardly worth thinking about at all. They hardly affected day-to-day life.

In the middle of the twentieth century, good Americans were welded together in their love for their “free” government, their belief in the God-given rights embodied in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, their common social Christian values, and—if only subconsciously—a common American culture, European heritage, and English language. Good Americans stood for and respected the National Anthem and our brave military. Good schoolchildren stood and recited their daily Pledge of Allegiance.

Of course, that idea of one single American nation was never more than partially true.

A decent attempt to map White American sub-nations.

Just as continents around the world are cris-crossed by fault lines and broken into separate tectonic plates, even white America at its peak in the 1950’s and 60’s was subdivided into distinct sub-nations. New England Yankees stood apart from the Irish and Italians (especially) who came after them and took over Boston and New York. The white South remained a very distinct sub-nation. Different regions all over the country, populated by different waves of white migration, have kept distinct sectional cultures since the first days of the founding of the colonies.

Yet, by the 1960’s, those differences had begun to soften and blur.

Homogenization of American Whites

From the 1880’s to the early 1900’s, progressive nationalists in the United States wanted to dissolve regional identities and promote cultural homogenization of white Americans. They figured we would be stronger that way. And maybe so.

To melt these regional and ethnic identities together, nationalists and progressives in the United States—most of them well-intentioned—demanded more power for the federal government, the standardization of public schools, and the promotion of flag-waving patriotism by the adoption of a national anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance.

The Pledge of Allegiance helped foster unity among white sub-nations in the United States, and it reminded us that we serve something greater than ourselves: our God and our people.

Those superficial symbols of Americanism, those flags and bald eagles and patriotic words and stern-faced Uncle Sams, helped to glue the United States together and slowly eradicate the differences between the various white ethnicities. Some of the more optimistic, radical progressives, most of them fools, believed that one day even Jews and blacks would melt into the pot.

And with the 1924 Immigration Act cutting off most immigration to the United States, the ethnic differences between American whites did in fact begin to blur. People thought more and more of themselves as Americans, and the culture began to homogenize through nation-wide commercial products, and national radio and television broadcasts.

But if different metals could start to melt together into a single alloy, the addition of sand and clay to the mix would utterly destroy it.

Unraveling White America

After that business with Hitler in World War II, increasingly influential American Jews felt threatened by the idea of a homogeneous white society. With other half-assimilated immigrants and their second or third generation offspring, they persuaded the United States to open the floodgates to people from across the world, and they’ve been pouring in by the millions ever since.

Meanwhile, along with other conniving Marxists, they promoted the rise of egalitarianism and various counter-cultural movements.

By the late 1960’s, a growing number of snotty, spoiled young baby-boomer brats scorned the symbols of American patriotism as quaint and barbaric, or even oppressive. Bunch of damned dirty long-haired, hippies anyway!

Dirty pansy hippy traitors! Went to college and changed the whole wide world. And what a world you have made! But hey, you’ve got nice retirements, right? That’s the important thing.

From that time, these pansy cultural Marxists have increasingly dominated the culture. For most of the brain-numbed public born after 1980, the old patriotic symbols have all but lost their significance.

Still, the Left continues its relentless war against patriotic symbols to this very day, and those decent folks who were raised to uphold them are rightly outraged.

Flag-Wavers

Today, plenty of mostly older people still value those old patriotic symbols. They stand by the Pledge and the National Anthem. They rally behind “In God We Trust” on the currency. They still love their Constitution and the form of government it established.

These are good white Americans, our parents and grand-parents and aunts and uncles, and most of them are natural allies to those of us who would preserve the white nations that still exist within the gangrene-riddled, leprous body of the United States.

Maybe most of these old veterans would be appalled at the loss of American allegiance by white etho-nationalists. But sooner or later, those who haven’t died will come around to our view. We should make it easy for them to do so.

White Ethno-Nationalists Should Support White American Patriots

Today the United States is unraveling. Everyone with half a brain knows that.

Any notion of forging an identity based on the entire United States has become increasingly ridiculous, even stupid.

Younger white people have no memory of the 1960’s or earlier. They embrace some combination of the suicidal ethnic nihilism promoted by the snot-nosed Leftists on the one hand, and a groovy kaleidoscope of identities based on regional or local cultures maybe, or more likely some other hobbies, interests, ideologies, religions, afflictions, perversions, and expensive tribal tattoos.

Personally, I’ve never valued the Pledge of Allegiance. (Allegiance to a flag?) Or the National Anthem, or flag-waving, or the mindless support of our troops. And why should we appeal to God on our wicked Federal Reserve notes?

But I do value these good, patriotic white Americans.

So out of respect for them, I do stand for the National Anthem, and I do recite the Pledge at patriotic gatherings. I support keeping “In God We Trust” on our money, nativities around our courthouses, and the Ten Commandments in our courtrooms. And I humbly acknowledge their thanks for my military service, even though I believe that my sacrifice was mostly a crock.

Most white patriots throughout the United States hated the attacks on the Confederate flag, even if most of the rallies were held in the South. White Americans should stand by all white symbols when the Left attacks them.

A year ago, many of us white ethno-nationalists were infuriated by the lack of solidarity on the Right against the Leftist attacks on the Confederate Flag. The establishment cucks even joined the bastards in this attempt to eradicate the symbol of the white American South, and such traitors deserve our continuously burning wrath.

Yet, around dining room tables and on front porches across America, not just the South, white American flag-waving patriots quietly cursed or lamented this destruction of an American symbol.

They are good people.

Solidarity

Those of us who want our white societies in America to survive should have patience with the “normies” who love their flag, their Pledge, and their National Anthem, most of whom also despise the ways that Leftists have destroyed the country.

Sooner or later, we can win them over. We have the same enemies.

We all belong in the same Basket of Deplorables.
