Entry: Requiem for a Heavyweight Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/requiem_for_a_heavyweight1#699 Post contents: Jerem Wilkinson asks what's wrong with Jones' speech. Well, I read it too (Thanks, JGB, for the link)and here's my take. It's not a bad speech, nor one that should prevent the conference being aired by C-span. Jones has an interesting view of the motivations behind Jewish support for radical movements in Christian societies. His delineation of a fundamental distinction between Northern and Southern views of "whiteness" has some validity, though only - I would assert - before the 1960's, and the rise of the modern civil rights movement. In fact it was George Wallace(whose key role was pointed out by Sam Francis), more than anyone else, who taught northern ethnics that they too - Irish, Italian, Polish, whatever - were first and foremost American white people, as much as Yankee WASPs or Southern Anglo-celts. And this fact, the transcending of their ethnicity, was a product of another transcending force: American history, and the scorned but effective operation of the "melting pot." These were indeed meltable ethnics, unlike blacks, hispanics and asians. This is what's really wrong with Jones' speech. His Logos, his (what looks like)rigid Catholic particularism trumps 300 years of inter-marriage between the various white ethnic groups, and the assimilation of these groups into the British Protestant cultural patterns that Peter Brimelow and Lawrence Auster(an ethnic Jew, btw) have both written about so well. Jones denies this. He says that we are merely, "...a nation of nations...we have no common past...we have no racial identity..." That's bunk. That's what the multi-culturalists and the neocons want us to believe. That's what they preach to us 24/7 in every mainstream media outlet, be it newspaper, magazine, TV or movie. That's why they have been so busy re-writing American history for the past 40 years. And that's why Jones' speech is wrong. Sent at: 2008 07 23
