Entry: Confederates and Catholics, Unite! Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/down_in_dixie#2520 Post contents: “Southerners of both races have more in common with each other than they do with their fellows in the rest of the country.” Surely the author can’t be serious. How many blacks listen to country or bluegrass? How many follow NASCAR? How many vote Republican? Why is their so much black-on-white crime in both the north and south? Why are blacks demanding the removal of all Confederate statues, flags and memorials? Why do we never hear of black southerners attacking black northerners (or vice versa)? Why is the south so segregated (churches, schools, neighborhoods, social events)? Why did white southerners fight so hard to resist integration? The race issue will not be “laid to rest”—at least not by blacks. Sam Francis called this way of thinking an “infantile disorder.” This is from his February 1998 column in Chronicles: “I mention this racial dimension of the secession controversy not because of the obvious conflicts that will arise in its wake but to suggest that the majority populations of the South in the near future will either be blacks, who have only hostile memories of what secession and the historic South meant to them and their ancestors, or Hispanics, who will sympathize with secession only if it means union with Mexico. It is unlikely that either the black or the Hispanic populations will evince much sympathy for Jefferson Davis and his legacy. But the racial composition of the future South is significant also because the racial consciousness and solidarity non-whites will exhibit is already plain, in the frenetic, hate-driven language of their leaders and organizational vehicles, in their political behavior, and in the whole fabric of their subculture. It is a consciousness that readily identifies whites as an enemy and their institutions and values as alien and oppressive. The only prospect of white Middle American resistance to this racial and political engulfment is our own solidarity; instead of snorting at white Northerners as "Yankees" who lack good table manners and the rudiments of culture, white Southerners should be standing firm with them in opposition to more immigration and more domination by the federal leviathan that serves as the political instrument of the overclass-underclass alliance.” Sent at: 2008 09 07
