A FEW days before he died of pancreatic cancer in 2013, my great friend Lawrence Auster, who had written for many years so courageously and truthfully on the topic of race, said something I will never forget.
He was sitting in his bed in a hospital near my home and looking out the window. In the brief interval between hospital procedures, when he was alert and feeling relatively well, he said something out of the blue.
“I believe in about a hundred years, all the races will be back in their homelands. Africans will live in Africa, Asians will live in Asia and Europeans will live in the West.” He gestured with his hands to suggest a great dispersal.
He didn’t say much more, being busy with the process of dying. But he didn’t need to because I knew what he meant. I knew that this was the inevitable conclusion of all he had written. It had a child-like simplicity and wisdom, but then truth often looks childish and simple in this way.
This simple and beautiful idea of geographic racial separation, so in accord with nature, so in accord with the spirit of Christian charity and God’s revealed plan for humanity, was the only solution to the modern Tower of Babel and a world gone mad with multiculturalism.
In the years since Mr. Auster died, the public rhetoric bitterly condemning the white race for a host of unforgivable sins, the psychological and political war against whites he wrote about, has dramatically intensified. The systematic discrimination against whites in hiring, college admissions, the arts and other facets of life that he also wrote about has dramatically intensified too, as he predicted it would.
Violent riots have been approved and applauded by government authorities and corporations. Monuments have been defaced and thrown down — not because they were about slavery but because they represented evil whites. A cartoonish “insurrection” was staged to vilify whites and a “racist” president rose and fell, with the powers-that-be obviously setting out to use him to make middle class whites look as crude and unlikeable as possible (of course, in many cases, they are crude and unlikeable). Corporations have stepped up to new levels of political correctness and favoritism for non-whites. And, of course, many whites, more ardently than ever, believe in the utopian creed of racial equality, so contrary to true and organic diversity. For some, nonwhites are just moral status symbols, not human beings. Let those who passionately believe race is a “social construct” find out for themselves that it is not. In most cases, it is pointless to try and convince them otherwise.
The mainstream media speaks of “white supremacy” and “white privilege” in a way it wouldn’t have just a few years ago and many whites devour these taunts with perverse pleasure, feeding the sick masochistic thrills Mr. Auster spoke of. The government has officially and ludicrously declared “white supremacists” to be the supreme threat.
All this was inevitable. The numbers are decisive. Whites have lost and are continuing to lose their demographic advantage, and non-whites, especially blacks, are being even more insistently and systematically, every day, incited to revenge and envy as a permanent mode of being. Why wouldn’t they be envious and resentful, given the immense political and monetary payoffs? We don’t live in a world governed by the spirit of Christian charity — and even so-called Christian leaders not only believe it is perfectly fine for some groups to revel in envy and resentment, but positively egg them on.
Racial division will always be a fact of the world, given the fallen human condition. But there is a long-range path toward relative peace, for America and Europe especially.
That path must involve geographic racial separation. The peoples of the world — all races — must have as much self-determination and cultural independence as possible, while seeking amicable trade and cultural exchanges. In Europe, this would mean the repatriation of millions of people — yes, millions — ideally over the course of many years to their ancestral homelands in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
The American Colonization Society, originally known as the Society for the Colonization of Free People of Color of America, knew the importance of racial homogeneity in the early nineteenth century when it tried to mobilize the funding and will to resettle freed blacks in Africa. Of course, the ACS is slandered as racist, but its leaders and many of its supporters were motivated by wisdom, generosity and good will toward freed blacks. They believed blacks would face heavy burdens in a white society even when they were not enslaved. Marcus Garvey, the black leader who inspired tens of thousands of black Americans to desire a return to Africa, believed in this ideal of separation too. Unfortunately, despite the narrative of white oppression, the Colonization Society found that blacks didn’t want to go back to Africa and Garvey’s project was stymied by his enemies, who wanted to use blacks as pawns in a racial war they couldn’t have if blacks returned home.
While there are advantages for nonwhites to live in a white dominated society, as is obvious from the many “migrants” who have invaded Europe in recent years, there are also tremendous psychological pressures. Blacks are constantly told they can achieve complete equality. This equality is impossible, and will always be impossible, because of innate and unchangeable differences. The stress of seeking this illusory equality is undeniably and understandably the cause of much black anger, of the constant picking at the supposed wounds of the past.
As Arthur Kemp points out in his book The War Against Whites: The Racial Psychology behind the Anti-White Hatred Sweeping the West (Ostara, 2020), blacks can best cultivate pride in their very real achievements and abilities in a black society in Africa or in a separate black nation in North America. One African country, Ghana, in a remarkable act of reparation for its own sins in the slave trade, recently offered citizenship and aid to resettle to black Americans (only those who do not have a criminal record.) Other African nations could do the same.
As for whites, they — I mean, we — must not descend into bitterness and anger over our inevitable dispossession in a multicultural America or Europe. We must cultivate a spirit of good will and charity toward other races. At the same time, we must realize that the anti-white rhetoric of today will become the violence and theft of tomorrow. We must protect our heritage and future generations by seeking geographic racial separation in a more deliberate and organized way and as a long-term, gradually unfolding goal.
The first step toward separation is for whites themselves to stop internalizing the narrative of white guilt, an edifice of patent lies, and stop entertaining foolish notions of appeasement.
We must cultivate the will to separate, moving now whenever possible out of the major urban areas and to relatively white areas of the country (something whites have been doing instinctively for many years), but also we must strengthen their families, “be fruitful and multiply,” as God has commanded. The state of the family, and relations between men and women, are at the heart of our racial suicide. Contraception, abortion, divorce and remarriage, feminist careerism, delayed marriage, vilification of men — these are all elements of race suicide, as well as personal sins. We must cultivate true virtue and confidence in God. Our plight is most certainly a divine chastisement, something we should always bear in mind.
The political disintegration of America as it is now is will likely occur. We will lose many of our historic sites and institutions. Asians and Hispanics may be repatriated to their home countries or they may remain in a part of this country relatively devoid of whites. Time will tell. It may even be too late in the history of the world for us to achieve this end, but let us strive to make this ideal a reality and to make it as peaceful and dignified as possible for people of all races and ethnic groups, refusing animosity toward others and refusing to destroy our own. May God protect our hearts from all resentment, anger and obsessive fixation on racial realities, including suicidal hatred of ourselves.
The details will naturally fall in place once the will exists.
Although it is truly sad that Mr. Auster is no longer here to comment so incisively on our situation and to develop this objective, he said the last word. He left us with a clear plan for the future. (more…)
