What is "White supremacism"? Does it actually exist?

[hengest]

I ask this question, because the jew-media uses the term so often when refering to any and all, pro-White groups or individuals; but does it actually have any basis in reality? Are you, or anyone you know, a White supremacist?
I am a National Socialist, and it seems to me that all the pro-White advocates that I have encountered over the years (including the members of this forum) identify as White nationalists/separatists or NS; so what the hell is White supremacism? Is it nothing more than a pejorative label, employed by the jew-media, to demonize ANY form of White identity?

[Rick Ronsavelle]

They (White supremacists) are accused of wanting to be "supreme" over muds- to enslave, to extract surplus value.
The claim is that White wealth is stolen, and that without ripping off others, our standard of living would be no higher than jungle savages. Critics can't believe we really want to live alone- they really believe the wealth would plummet. They will NEVER acknowledge that White Wealth stems from White genius.

It's a vague term that sounds bad. I think the enemy thinks "white supremacists" means 1. whites that think they're better than everyone else (hubris), 2. whites that want to exterminate every other race (mass murderer wannabes), 3. whites that want to enslave others or rule them (unfair and lazy). However, they also use it to describe anyone who is pro-white in any way. They have done a great job of propaganda with that term. That's for damn sure.

Funny I had a nearly baked blog entry that deals with this question, and I provisionally entitled it "Why I'm a preservationist, not a supremacist'.

Here is the first paragraph....

Any liberal leftist reading the various writings on this site who thinks that race doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things would likely be the type who might accuse the posters here of being white supremacists. As we all know the term supremacist is a misnomer, as it implies wanting to rule over other races. This label originated decades ago when whites were still a comfortable majority, and anyone engaged in a white identity group was seen as wanting to dominate the non white minority, in addition to being considered unconventional in the eyes of the mainstream. In the following years immigration, and more recently miscegenation continued to whittle down the white population base, but the classic term white supremacist has managed to survive. Most white nationalists do not desire to invade non-European countries or deny other peoples a right to their autonomy. This is an issue David Duke stresses in his talks where he typically states “we believe that every people on earth have the right to preserve their heritage”. Sounds fair but even that reasonable position is sometimes not sufficient to appease anti-white liberals. For them, it’s merely the belief by WNs that whites have a right to organise as a group, or are superior in every aspect of their behaviour than everyone else. Well, that was how a former acquaintance of mine saw it in a debate we had a few years ago. He got uptight when I said that whites had made the most outstanding contributions to science and other fields of human endeavour, adding that the greatest inventions were created by persons of European descent. That essentially made me a supremacist in his eyes. I tried to argue that I was simply trying to be objective in my analysis rather than pushing my own biases. However at the same time I was also quite critical of fundamental traits of our behaviour. But beside the indisputable fact that whites have played a key role in technological progress for humanity, that by itself does not imply superiority anyway. We really need to analyse what the defining hallmarks of civilization are. If you asked someone to define what civilization is, they’ll probably cite technology in their response. But a civilization is not merely a society that has the trappings of technology and industrial development. It’s much more than that, as thriving civilizations existed in the distant past which only had it a rudimentary or emerging level. A real civilization is where its citizens have bonds with each other, are reasonably friendly, and have a sense of civic duties to maintain the vigour, culture and cohesion of society. In short how civil and considerate people treat each other is what really counts. When you look out into society today you see the opposite of that: selfishness, unfriendliness, impatience on the roads, disrespectful youths, not to mention immigration and racial mixing.

No, Not really. Not in America.

As Whites are pushed more and more into the corner. It may have a come back. I am talking about actual White supremacy.

[TwistedCross]

White Supremacy is displayed in every breath we take, thought we think, honorable action and noble deed we perform. They hate us for being better people.

Admittedly, jews are better leaches, parasites, thieves, hucksters and swindlers than us. They hate us for that too.

White Supremacy

White Supremacy is the belief that members of the Caucasian race are superior in all ways to other groups or races in the world. In the history of the United States, white supremacy has existed as a means of justifying and preserving the nation as a white Christian country. The history of white supremacy is closely tied to the presence of slavery and the emergence, in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, of the theories and categorizations of groups and nations into races. In the United States the presence of slavery and its continuance and growth in the South served as a strong foundation for white supremacy. Also important was immigration, first of the Irish and later of eastern and Mediterranean Europeans, which heightened the belief in the superiority of whiteness, defined as White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.

The key group representing white supremacy was the Ku Klux Klan. Founded in Pulaski, Tennessee, in 1866 by Confederate colonel Nathan Bedford Forrest, its aim was to preserve the traditions of the Old South, which for the Klan focused primarily around the suppression of African Americans and the protection of white women. In its evolution during the early twentieth century, the Klan came to stand for "100 percent pure Americanism," a fervent belief in Protestant Christianity, and a staunch opposition to immigration. But still there remained a rock solid belief in the moral, intellectual, and physical superiority of white people. Through the years the Klan fragmented, reemerging at various periods; the largest regrouping occurred after World War I. The Klan arose again in the 1960s and 1970s as the civil rights movement was successfully attaining the desegregation of public accommodations and voting rights for black Americans. In the 1980s and 1990s the Klan once again appeared, but other groups formed in that period which also espoused white supremacy or white power.

A full generation after the successes of the civil rights movement, many white Americans exhibit an increased tolerance of African Americans and a growing acceptance of racial equality. Nonetheless, the ethic of white supremacy is still very strong among some white Americans, namely those belonging or sympathetic to groups formed in the late twentieth century such as Posse Comitatus, the National Association for the Advancement of White People, the American Nazi Party, Aryan Nations, and World Church of the Creator. These groups have tried to recruit young people and have numerous sites on the Internet. They can be violent physically, with most of their attacks directed toward blacks, Jews, and immigrants. Their main goal is to return the nation to white people, root out what they see as a conspiracy between blacks and Jews to eliminate the white race, and regain pride and power for whites.

Wikipedia-

White supremacy is the belief, and promotion of the belief, that white people are superior to people of other racial backgrounds. The term is sometimes used specifically to describe a political ideology that advocates the social and political dominance by whites.[1] White supremacy, as with racial supremacism in general, is rooted in ethnocentrism and a desire for hegemony.[2] White supremacy has frequently resulted in anti-black and antisemitic violence. Different forms of white supremacy have different conceptions of who is considered white, and not all white supremacist organizations agree on who is their greatest enemy.[3]

White supremacist groups can be found in most countries and regions with a significant white population, including North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Latin America. The militant approach taken by white supremacist groups has caused them to be watched closely by law enforcement officials. Some European countries have laws forbidding hate speech, as well as other laws that ban or restrict some white supremacist organizations.Contents [hide]

Systemic white supremacy

White supremacy was dominant in the United States before the American Civil War and for decades after Reconstruction.[4] In large areas of the United States, this included the holding of non-whites (specifically African Americans) in chattel slavery. The outbreak of the Civil War saw the desire to uphold white supremacy cited as a cause for state secession[5] and the formation of the Confederate States of America.[6]

In some parts of the United States, many people who were considered non-white were disenfranchised, barred from government office, and prevented from holding most government jobs well into the second half of the twentieth century. Many U.S. states banned interracial marriage through anti-miscegenation laws until 1967, when these laws were declared unconstitutional. White leaders often viewed Native Americans as obstacles to economic and political progress, rather than as settlers in their own right.

White supremacy was also dominant in Southern Africa under apartheid and in parts of Europe at various time periods; most notably under Nazi Germany's Third Reich. Governments of many European-settled countries bordering the Pacific Ocean limited immigration and naturalization from the Asian Pacific countries, usually on a cultural basis. South Africa maintained its white supremacist apartheid system until the early 1990s.[citation needed]
Ideologies and movements

Supporters of Nordicism and Germanism consider Nordic people (Scandinavians, Germans, British and Dutch) to be superior, shunning those of Southern and Eastern Europe (who may have darker features and different cultures), including mostly Spanish, Portuguese, white Latin Americans, Lusophone white Africans, and Russians, along with anyone whose ethnic heritage is not European. By the early-19th century White supremacy was attached to emerging theories of racial hierarchy. The German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer attributed civilisational primacy to the "white races":

The highest civilisation and culture, apart from the ancient Hindus and Egyptians, are found exclusively among the white races; and even with many dark peoples, the ruling caste or race is fairer in colour than the rest and has, therefore, evidently immigrated, for example, the Brahmans, the Incas, and the rulers of the South Sea Islands. All this is due to the fact that necessity is the mother of invention because those tribes that emigrated early to the north, and there gradually became white, had to develop all their intellectual powers and invent and perfect all the arts in their struggle with need, want and misery, which in their many forms were brought about by the climate.[7]


Members of the second Ku Klux Klan at a rally in 1923.

The eugenicist Madison Grant argued the Nordic race had been responsible for most of humanity's great achievements, and that admixture was "race suicide".[citation needed] Calvin Coolidge (who later became president of the United States) agreed, stating "Biological laws tell us that certain divergent people will not mix or blend. The Nordics propagate themselves successfully. With other races, the outcome shows deterioration on both sides."[citation needed] In Grant's 1916 book, The Passing of the Great Race, Europeans who were not of Germanic origin, but who had Nordic characteristics such as blonde/red hair and blue/green/gray eyes were considered to be a Nordic admixture and suitable for Aryanization.[8]

In the United States, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is the group most associated with the white supremacist movement. Many white supremacist groups are based on the concept of preserving genetic purity, and do not focus solely on discrimination by skin color.[9] The KKK's reasons for supporting racial segregation are not primarily based on religious ideals, but some Klan groups are openly Protestant. The KKK and other white supremacist groups like Aryan Nations, The Order and the White Patriot Party are considered Anti-Semitic.[9]

Christian Identity is another movement closely tied to white supremacy. Some white supremacists identify themselves as Odinists, although many Odinists reject white supremacy. Some white supremacist groups, such as the South African Boeremag, conflate elements of Christianity and Odinism. The World Church of the Creator (now called the Creativity Movement), believed that a person's race is his religion. Aside from this, its ideology is similar to many Christian Identity groups, in their belief that there is a Jewish conspiracy in control of governments, the banking industry and the media. Matthew F. Hale, founder of the World Church of the Creator has published articles claiming that all races other than white are "mud races".[9] His movement claims that a Racial Holy War is destined to happen, which would eliminate Jews and "mud races" from the planet.[citation needed]

The white supremacist ideology has become associated with a racist faction of the skinhead subculture, despite the fact that when the skinhead culture first developed in the United Kingdom in the late 1960s, it was heavily influenced by black fashions and music, especially Jamaican reggae and ska, and African American soul music[10][11][12] By the 1980s, a sizeable and vocal white power skinhead faction had formed.[citation needed]

White supremacist recruitment tactics are primarily on a grassroots level and on the Internet. Widespread access to the Internet has led to a dramatic increase in white supremacist websites.[13] The Internet provides a venue to openly express white supremacist ideas at little social cost, because people who post the information are able to remain anonymous.
