George Floyd was a six foot six, powerfully built nightclub bouncer and ex-con who had served time for armed robbery. That he died in the manner in which he did was dreadful, but had he been a white man with exactly the same attributes, who died in exactly the same way, we would never have heard of him. But in fact he was a big scary black man (now ludicrously sentimentalised by some as a “gentle giant”) hence all the present turmoil in the US.
I’m tempted to wonder if all the focus on the death of one man because he was black, rather than white, is a case of “black privilege”?
Alternatively, was he pinned down with a knee on his neck simply because he was black, despite two of the arresting officers being themselves “persons of colour” (although not black)? In other words was it a “racist” offence at all?
I don’t know, but I do know that there have been two autopsies, one of which found that the cause of death was not pressure on his neck but “underlying causes” aggravated by fentanyl. The other autopsy, paid for by his family, unsurprisingly found the opposite; no need to wonder where they found the money to pay for a private autopsy, there is no shortage of extremely well funded left-wing pressure groups eager to cause whatever mischief they can. Two conflicting autopsies is surely enough for “reasonable doubt”? You might think so, but I fear ex-Officer Chauvin is doomed – after all, he is white!
The facts themselves, such as they are, show no evidence whatsoever of “racism” beyond the reality that Chauvin, although married to a woman “of colour” is white, and Floyd was black. So how to account for what has happened, and as I write, is still happening?
Well, in fact there are two different things happening:
First: There is the burning and looting which is the sort of thing that we always see in events of this kind given the slightest excuse, or no excuse at all; Jared Taylor remarked on American Renaissance, “it’s what they do when there’s enough of them gathered together in one place at the same time”.
A novelty this time (as far as I know it’s a novelty) is the large number of whites mixed in with the black rioters — these are supplied by Antifa — now and not before time, proclaimed a domestic terrorist organisation by the President. Another novelty not unconnected with the presence of Antifa is the celebration of the violence and burning as necessary for effecting “change” and the eradication of “racism”. As Antifa is an anarcho/communist organisation it serves their purposes all too well.
Second: Is the protest movement mounted by Black Lives Matter (BLM) and their satellites. You’ve probably seen the photos of all the middle class white youngsters most of them, it seems to me, female. The people at the London protest looked like the very ones who swooned for Jeremy Corbyn at Glastonbury a few years back, and probably were. Needless to say, celebrities, including such luminaries as Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield, are piling in to support “Black Lives Matter”, joined by big money corporations – Microsoft, Citybank, Nike and others.
But what do they all want, whether white or black?
“Justice for George Floyd” they proclaim. But the alleged murderer is in custody so justice (of a sort) will take its course. They demand an end to the “racist” murders of blacks by whites, but seem not to care, or even know, that the majority of white/black interracial killings in the United States are of whites by blacks, which if proportionality applied, is the reverse of what it should be as whites outnumber blacks by four or five to one!
But “justice” has a wider meaning here; it means an end to racial discrimination against blacks. But that is precisely what the United States has been striving towards for nearly sixty years – two generations!
Segregation was abolished, affirmative action introduced in schools, colleges, and workplaces promoting blacks at the expense of equally, or better, qualified whites, and trillions of dollars have been thrown at improving education and housing for blacks. The result is that it is mainly poorer, less educated whites who are on the receiving end of this inverted racial discrimination and find themselves despised as “white trash” for their pains. Small wonder that life expectancy is falling among whites, poor and rural whites more especially, but rising among all other groups. “Justice” eh?
But racial discrimination or “racism” can’t end because of the very nature of humankind. There are inherent differences of intellect and temperament between the several sub-species of humankind, which makes it difficult and uncomfortable for us to live together, and the widest genetic gap is between sub-Saharan Africans and the rest. It has been observed that in the natural world two sub-species of the same species are never found together, one always drives out the other.
So what is the solution? Black activists have the answer: abolish whiteness. By this they mean the civilization and its supporting constitutional, legal, and cultural constructs built by white people in white countries to suit themselves, but which is therefore institutionally “racist” against non-white, and especially black, people.
The push to delegitimise whiteness began in academic circles in the United States, so we have “whiteness studies”, “critical race theory”, “critical whiteness theory” and so on and so forth. A relatively new area of study (although it had forerunners), its proponents have always been largely coloured or Jewish although one of the pioneers, Theodore W. Allen, was a white American communist. It now pervades universities in the United States and is rapidly gaining ground in universities and schools throughout the Anglosphere, which means that it is going to be taught to your children, if it isn’t already. Baldly stated, its purpose is threefold:
Firstly, to persuade us on entirely unscientific grounds that whiteness is an illegitimate concept and that the white sub-species of humankind does not therefore exist;
Secondly, that white people – although they tell us that there is not really any such thing as “white people” – are responsible for most of the bad things that happen to non-white people;
Thirdly, as a consequence of the other two, to cause white people to despise their own identity.
The American Jewish writer, David Horowitz, has said:- “black studies celebrate blackness, Chicano studies celebrate chicanos , women’s studies celebrate women, and white studies attack white people as evil.” As a Jew, Horowitz knows where a propaganda of contempt and delegitimization of an entire race can lead.
It is because of the rapid growth of these whiteness studies that we now, quite frequently and always pejoratively, encounter the phrases “white supremacy”, and “white privilege”, which would not have been heard outside academic circles before the year 2000.
It is an indication of the rapid spread of these notions that on a recent walk around a popular high street book shop I found the following titles (note that all of the authors are non-white and therefore might be thought to have an axe to grind):
“Why I’m No Longer Talking To White People About Race” by Reni Addo-Lodge;
“Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire” by Akala;
“Brit (ish): On Race, Identity and Belonging” by Afua Hirsch;
“Black and British: A Forgotten History” by David Olusoga;
“White Fragility: Why It’s So Difficult For White People To Talk About Racism” by Robin di Angelo;
“How To Argue With a Racist” by Adam Rutherford;
“Check Your White Privilege” by Laila Saaed; and
“Superior: The Return of Race Science” by Angela Saini.
So that’s eight books on a quick sweep through a High Street book shop, not a university library, and I may have missed some. You will not be surprised to learn that Rutherford and Saini are occasional guest presenters or writers on the BBC and the Guardian. Di Angelo’s book has been top of the New York Times bestsellers list since last June.
I do wish that the authors of this stuff, and the self-hating whites who swallow it, would reflect that the great majority of coloured people alive in the world today, would not be alive – would never have been born – if it were not for the modern world and all of its marvels, all of them creations of the blood, sweat, daring and genius of the despised white race.
There is another solution to the “problem” of white supremacy and it is one which addresses the fundamental differences of race: separation, the removal of blacks and whites into separate homelands of their own. This was the proposal of the black nationalist pioneer, the late Marcus Garvey, and it remains the aspiration of many nationalists, both black and white.

ReplyGeorge Floyd’s death has become a convenient pretext to disrupt Western society on the grounds of furthering justice. If “Black lives mattered” then the black population need to be appraised of this as the majority of killings involve black people killing other fellow black citizens, whether in the US or UK.
A disproportionate amount of resources had been expended over the years to improve the prospects of the black population both in the US and UK, but to no significant extent. The number of young white people observed at the
current protests is indicative of a vile form of “virtue signalling” indicative of the present times and is further evident among the degenerate and equally talentless members of the entertainment industry.
The Equally vile and troublesome Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle declared that George Floyd’s life mattered, as if he had been a paragon of virtue, rather than somebody who had spent time in prison for armed robbery. This is not to justify what may amount to an unlawful killing, but merely to place the whole matter in an appropriate context.

ReplyI mentioned above that the “whiteness” stuff would soon be taught to your children if it isn’t already. Well, guess what? The following item in the Daily Telegraph for the 6th June caught my eye; “Head teachers back calls to make English GCSE syllabus more diverse. More than 250,000 people have signed a petition demanding more books by BAME authors are added to the curriculum”. …… “Why I am no longer talking to white people about Race by the Nigerian author Reni Eddo-Lodge” (see above) “and The Good Immigrant by Nikesh Shukla should be studied as set texts, it adds” Set texts, note, not choices which students could leave out. Both of these works, by the way, are not literature in the sense in which existing set books are literature in that they tell stories, they are polemical political works which are not designed to show white society or white people in a good light.
The comments of Dr. Patrick Roach, General Secretary of the NASUWT, are of interest because they explain exactly what this change is for: “Racism affects all our lives, and it is important that education plays its part in challenging discrimination, prejudice and hatred whilst also promoting inclusion and diversity. The curriculum in our schools and colleges can no longer be disinterested. Because black lives matter, the curriculum must also actively encourage learners to question the status quo and contribute to advancing equality by promoting BAME voices, experiences and representation.” In other words are to be taught to be Social Justice Warriors.

ReplyWe have had large riots for the last Forty odd years, staring at the Notting Hill Carnival in 1978, and since then these riots by Blacks and Muslims occur every few years and after the Government of they day throw more money at there communities, and more rigorously implement further positive action for blacks in the workplace often at the expense of the white working class,
All these riots that Britain has endured are from a direct consequence of Mass Immigration and failed Multiculturalism,
This Country is a deeply divided fragmented broken society of Race, Religion, Class, Rich & Poor, + Brexit and a powder keg waiting to go off and when it does all hell will be let lose, The worse Wars are the Civil Ones,
All this came about with the Landing of The Windrush in 1948, from that date was the beginning of the end of The United Kingdom

ReplyIt’s only going to get worse, especially as the government has wrecked the economy with this lockdown. There’ll be much greater unemployment, especially among younger people. The government will be forced to do universal basic income which will only buy time.
Another issue is non-whites already get preferential treatment in both education and work. Black activist Trevor Phillips stated a few months ago that more money is spent on black boys per head in education than any other group. White boys get the least. He stated white boys were getting left behind because of this. Under the Equality Act 2010 non-whites are given preference for jobs and promotion over whites. Non-whites are fast tracked in many professions, even the BBC advertises its jobs for non-whites only. The problem is no matter how much is given to non-whites it’s never enough and will never be enough. This is really about domination not equality. Multiculturalism does not work because each group seeks to push for control over the others.
I’m exhausted by the victimhood nonsense by non-whites and the white left wingers peddling these lies. I agree with segregation but I’m sure we all know the real globalist agenda for whites. The left are just useful idiots. It won’t be long before the non-whites turn on the whites during these protests. Only then will many, not all, finally get it but they’ll run off back to the suburbs leaving people like me, living in these crappy areas, to deal with the mess.

ReplyProof of the power of propaganda, for more years than I can count white South Africans were demonised and pilloried, we were attacked in the (white) parliaments world wide, slandered in the United Nations, terrorised by communist supported “black liberation movements” for the heinous crime of wishing to live our lives separately. To this day we are discriminated against in the immigration laws of most anglophone countries and we now have visited on us the glories of black majority rule which has brought us a murder rate of +/- 80 per thousand in 2017 up from +/- 30 per in 1980. the murders of farmers (mainly white) stands at between 6 and 10 a month, often accompanied by the most sickening brutality, a white child of 3 being boiled alive comes to mind. As much as I understand your desire for “race separation” (apartheid) you are not going to get it, so gird your loins our travails are soon coming to a suburb near you.

ReplyI don’t think there’s any other country more generous and welcoming than Britain has been in the past to those from the sub continents of Africa and the Caribbean. I also don’t think that any other country could offer black immigrants and British born blacks more in the way of privileges in jobs, housing and welfare.
Yet it is in part due to the race baiting MP’s such as Lammy, Abbott and Khan that continues to feed the black minds that as long as the invented white privilege exists, blacks will be viewed as worthless. Thus, white privilege does not exist. What does exist is self worth issue’s and low self esteem within the black community that turns to anger when what we see as a violent drug dealing criminal on another continent becomes a victim to what is deemed an under privileged race.
This perceived under privileged race is a narrative deliberately manufactured by media. How different the reaction would be should every headline on the globe read ‘ USA police officer kills suspect’. Instead every gutter press rag screams ‘ White cop kills unarmed black suspect.’ No mention of the suspect once pressing his gun against the belly of a heavily pregnant black woman during a violent home invasion. Nor any mention of the bag of white powder dropped by Floyd as cops approached him caught on the shops cctv camera’s that has now been airbrushed from the footage shown on you tube. Likewise no sign of the cctv footage of what took place in the back of the car when officers were trying to handcuff him that possibly showed him getting violent. This has disappeared along with any reference to the fact that one of the officers was half Chinese and another Vietnamese.
The riots, looting and violence that followed in the USA and in Britain including the murder of a black retired police officer immediately negate any protest that Black Lives Matter believe they have.
Both nations citizens have been left disgusted and appalled at not only the mob culture but the transformation of a violent repeated offender who terrorised a pregnant woman of his own race into some gentle giant hero. What next? A statue of George Floyd in Parliament Square alongside the former Terrorist Mandela for the masses and deluded to fawn over?
What Black Lives Matter have shown yet again is that in fact, Black Lives don’t matter. The heavily pregnant black woman with a gun to her belly doesn’t matter. The black retired police officer murdered trying to protect a pawn shop doesn’t matter,
The vandalism to our Churchill statue, the Cenotaph and William Colston’s statue in Bristol demonstrates what this is really all about. Not white privilege spewed daily by the likes of Abbott and Lammy but black envy and hatred of their host countries where they choose to live,

ReplyThe reaction to the death of George Floyd has been disproportionate because it has become a convenient pretext to riot and set in train a plethora of political demands consistent with the distorted values of leftist politics.
The precise circumstances in regard to the death of Floyd remains unresolved but this does not concern “social justice warriors” who outwardly express , concerns for his fate but seek the radical transformation of western society and replacing it with a leftist dystopia, in the process rejecting our traditional values and identity.
The attempt to justify the unlawful removal of a statue in Bristol and the riot in London culminating in the injury of 50 officers clearly show that battle lines are being drawn regarding our history and identity. A situation has developed over the years and is reaching its climax whereby white middle class university indoctrinated agitators
together with those from non-European racial backgrounds now feel confident in their infinite impertinence to decide what may constitute British identity and acceptable history. In the process certain monuments are now regarded as unacceptable as evidenced in Bristol. The new narrative claims that the supposed contribution of the non-European is of long standing and requires recognition. It is further claimed that they are entitled to decide a new more inclusive identity quite at odds with our own traditions.It never occurs to the progressives or the new arrivals, even if born in the British Isles that perhaps a disdain towards our traditions and history is proof that they have no legitimate place in our society.

ReplyThe killing of a black criminal 4,000 miles away, for which the accused has yet to go to trial and the full story told, is a different historical signifier to that of the obviously primed reaction from the hating left, black activists, woke politicians, media, and corporations all across the European world. The former is a criminal matter which is undergoing due process (as, for example, is the killing of the black policeman David Dorn in St Louis).
The latter is a deliberate paradigm shift, This is no longer a “happy multicult” -style paradigm, whereby everyone involved in the culture war tries to present what is happening in our home as “diversity”, “exciting”, “the future for our children”, etc. We are now entering a paradigm of fully-exposed white-hatred and a struggle for whitelessness, widening the left’s anti-white culture war to anti-white race war; generalising the hatred of white institutions to all white people, and paving the way for genocide.
The enemies of our existence have to be fought on the ground on which they are now standing. That, obviously, means our nationalism, which means a return to the political fight to seek the burning-out of anti-white racism from all its places in the polity, the government machine and the public sector, and the ending of multiracialism via an humane but thorough-going, long-run process of mass repatriation.

ReplyThe paradigm shift to which you refer confirms that those who despise our traditional society now feel so emboldened that all pretense for peaceful co-existence in a “melting pot” of cultures has been abandoned,
The situation will only worsen and it is difficult to see how an effective resistance can be sustained in the wake of collusion at the highest level of government and financial vested interests. However this is not a counsel of despair. We need to remain resolute and challenge all false narratives when opportunity arises.
The quiet majority suspect something is amiss despite the misleading misrepresentations of the vile main stream media.

ReplyThis last weekend is an absolute object lesson on why the Right shouldn’t do protests, we can’t win at that game under the present circumstances.
We are playing by other peoples rules.
The Right fighting with the police, the man urinating & the man being rescued, absolute gifts to the other side.
Never mind what they did.
Lessons aren’t being learnt & this is why I can’t be bothered anymore, same s***, different day, same result, same stagnation.
There’s no intelligence to any of this.
It will not gain any support from the neutral public.
In a lot of people’s cases, like GA & CC got old, ill & gave up.
That’s pretty much where I am at now.
If the young are happy with the way things are going, then they will live with the consequences of all that happens, I won’t have to.
It’s up to them to decide what they want & to do something about it.

ReplyHi Stefan,
You are right that no intelligence went into nationalist participation in last Saturday’s demonstration, however there is intelligence being applied by some nationalists, Western Spring operate intelligently. The difficulty we suffer is that current conditions require us to work covertly to avoid the obvious pitfalls and that means that few people are aware of what we do, whereas the idiots parade around in public and attract the bad press which in turn demotivates people such as yourself.
The way forward is not to allow the news media to demoralise you, but to support Western Spring and pay no heed to anyone else. Progress is slow at present, but the more solid and determined our support the faster things will start to improve.
