Breaking the Great Taboo

Race, as the late Samuel Francis writes in the introduction to this
collection of race-realist essays, is the Great Taboo of our age, as
sex was for the Victorians. Just as the Victorians punished people who
"talked about sex, made jokes about sex, or wrote too openly and
frankly about sex," so do the racial Victorians of the 21st century,
denying as they do the reality of race, punish people who assert that
race lies at the heart of many of our most intractable social
problems.

Dr. Francis should know. He suffered firsthand the consequences of
violating the Great Taboo. At the first American Renaissance
conference, held in Atlanta in 1994, he said:

"[W]e as whites must . . . reassert our identity and our solidarity,
and we must do so in explicitly racial terms through the articulation
of a racial consciousness as whites. . . . The civilization that we as
whites created in Europe and America could not have developed apart
from the genetic endowments of the creating people, nor is there any
reason to believe that the civilization can be successfully
transmitted to a different people. If the people or race that created
and sustained the civilization of the West should die, then the
civilization also will die."

For this and other observations he was fired from his job at the
Washington Times, the "conservative" Washington newspaper. A lesser
man might have groveled to keep his job, and perhaps submitted to
sensitivity training. Not Sam Francis. He spent the remaining decade
of his life writing and speaking on a variety of topics, including the
racial crisis whites face. He spoke at every AR conference until his
death in February 2005, and his speeches were always among the
highlights of the program. He was, in the words of American
Renaissance editor Jared Taylor, "the premier philosopher of white
racial consciousness of our time."

Race and the American Prospect was Dr. Francis's last book. He
conceived of it, chose the contributors, edited their essays, and
wrote two chapters. The book as a whole is an exhortation to whites in
North America, Europe and Australia to reclaim their racial birthright
before they and their descendants are displaced by non-whites in their
ancestral homelands. It is not a screed, but a sober, scholarly, well-
reasoned examination of the crisis that we as whites face in an era of
mass immigration, multi-racialism and multiculturalism.

What is racial consciousness and why is it important to whites? Simply
put, racial consciousness is the conviction that a biologically unique
group has a right not only to survive, but to thrive, that it is
entitled to protect its interests as a group in the geographical
territory from which it sprang or in which it developed. Racial
consciousness asserts the right of a race to fashion a society and
institutions that serve and advance its interests, and from which its
people and their descendants are the main beneficiaries.

Racial consciousness is both natural and moral. It is particularly
important to whites because it is to them, and to them alone, that it
is now prohibited. As even a cursory glance through Race and the
American Prospect will show, this was certainly not always the case.
But as Dr. Francis explains in the introduction, over the last century
the West has suffered a "racial revolution" that has "eviscerated"
white racial consciousness and identity "through the pseudoscientific
denial of race, the political and cultural demonization of whites, and
the political and legal destruction of white cultural power." The same
revolution has encouraged non-white, and indeed anti-white racial
consciousness among minority groups. Thanks to mass immigration,
within this century non-whites are likely to displace whites as the
majority in many of their historic homelands.

Dr. Francis lays out three reasons why whites must recover an
explicitly racial consciousness. First, science has rejected the "race
is a social construct" fallacy. Races are biologically distinct, and
one cannot replace another. If whites were to be displaced, no other
race could replicate their contribution to human society. Second,
independent of the scientific reality of race, whites are entitled to
survive and thrive for their own sake, just as all members of a family
want that family to survive and thrive. Finally, whites must recover
racial consciousness for reasons of self-protection. Every non-white
group in Western nations explicitly promotes its own interests. By
abandoning racial consciousness, whites have unilaterally disarmed in
the face of non-whites who promote their racial interests, often at
the expense of whites.

One day Adolf Hitler will be recognized as the great visionary that he was.

Yeah, right.

A better idea--adde Ted to your killfile.

I skip him because he's boring before even deciding
whether there's anything worthwhile in his posts.

Whatever his talents were, he was also strung out on amphetamine. The
only thing Hitler teaches us is what happens when you have great
nation run by a meth head. Had we understood that meth would have
driven Hitler into cardiac arrest in a few more years, we could have
stayed out, and let him defeat Stalin. The Cold War never would have
happened.

In the meanwhile how many more would he have executed?
