I can't wait to get the responses to this guy's idea for a "brave new world":




Highlight quotes:

We don't know what our culture is

I'm willing to change the Constitution to......[something else ????]

We're connected to a grand story and that's connected to Europe

I'd have probably been a loyalist

Yes (to question that you're really not a patriot)

I want to make our race great again....we do want a state of our own in the future...I'm an identitarian

I have a lot in common with Zionists 125 years ago (then laughs and nods when interviewer notes that he doesn't like Jews)


What's really amazing about this guy, other than he really doesn't know what he wants or that what he wants is never gonna happen, is how affable his racism is.

What's the point of this thread? Are you denying that white people possess a culture, or?

Have you visited Europe?

The guy in the video couldn't describe it (other than having a white only state) so why don't you give it a shot? BTW, what's going the be the DNA parameter for what's "white" in your brave new world? Or will there be other ways of determining who's white? Elaborate answers encouraged.

I've both lived in and visited "Europe" many times. The guy in the video and you seem to think of Europe as a country. IOW, the Sarah Palin "geography."
You might be surprised at how ethnically diverse Europe has been over the millenia...but wait, I assume too much. Never mind.

So you also don't think there's such a thing as "black culture", I take it? Go on, go and tell a group of blacks that and see their reaction...

Obviously. And blacks comprise Somalians, Congolese, etc., but here in the U.S. blacks definitely have their own unifying culture. The same is true of Whites. The various ethnicities from which White Americans descend -- mostly British and German -- have 'morphed' together into a White American culture. It's the culture which put the first man on the moon and reached the bottom of the Challenger Deep (the lowest point in the ocean) merely years apart :)

Not being black, I wouldn't presume to pontificate (as you have) about what black culture is. But it seems to be pretty much the same as "white" culture is: which is to say pretty much different depending on where one is and whom one's talking to. Oh, and I'm glad you recognize that Europe isn't some monolithic ethnic or cultural unit. I wonder if you might be starting to suspect that ascribing a culture solely on the basis of skin color isn't very smart.

P.S. I don't think it's accurate to say that all the white descendants of European immigrants have "morphed" into one homogenous culture. Especially since neither you nor the other "white culturalist" have yet to define what that culture looks like.

White supremacists should get their own country. Preferably a deserted island somewhere.

Who cares?

This doesn't mean anything except that this one individual has such ideas.

What has this to do with anything other than to note that there are still people of all types with fringe ideologies in our country? :roll:

"Loyalist" or not, he still has the same rights to engage in the political process as any SJW's or other odds and sods ideologues do. :coffeepap:

There definitely are multiple White cultures, but they are all united by commonalities: Christianity, an inheritance from Ancient Rome/Greece, etca.

That is why there are similarities between German, French, and Swiss culture, but no similarity at all between German and Syrian culture...

This guy is a Trump supporter as many of them are. The CEO of Trump's campaign, Steve Bannon, has written extensively and offensively of the superiority of the "white culture" to justify white entitlement. Don't pretend white supremacy isn't a big part of the deplorables. That element was specifically what Clinton was referring to--not, as the fake victim pushers would suggest--every one of the people who go to his rallies.

If anything, "white culture" could be described as conservative Christian Americana.

Whites have as much right to identify a root "culture" as anyone else. Western (as in European and American) culture involves the development of democracy, individualism, liberty, equality, etc..

You know, all those ideals leading into our Constitution back in the 1700's?

Meanwhile, there is no white entitlement in the USA. Don't pretend that SJW philosophy isn't deplorable too.

See how that type of thinking can come back to bite YOU in the ass?

A lot of individuals have this amorphous idea of some common white culture and it's not a positive thing. If one only wants to associate with white people that's his choice but to think a nation should be formed around an idea they can't even describe is not just laughable but dangerous as the past has clearly demonstrated. This stuff, just like the thinly veiled assassination references from the Orange Vulgarian, should not be laughed off. History also tells us how dangerous that attitude is.

The polls in the sources were not conducted by those sources. So are those pollsters right wingers too?

"White culture" is a bit of a misnomer. What's he's really referring to here is the linguistically Anglo-dominant, but technically pan-European, "melting pot" culture which is unique to the United States as a result of its immigrant history. It is the culture - baseball, apple pie, Christianity, dead presidents, and patriotism, etca, etca - most people think of when they think of "America." It simply happens to be the case that the majority of the people who belong to it are white Europeans, as most of its various elements originated with them, and because they have traditionally made up the vast majority of the United States' population.

Quite frankly, I don't see what's wrong with holding "whiteness" up as being an identity in the first place, if every other ethnic minority and their brother are going to do the same with their own ethnicities.

Good post. Up until about 1970 the U.S. was 85-90% White, and 10-15% Black. So of course the dominant American culture for most of the country's existence, and probably today even, was a sort of "White culture", in the sense that almost all American statesman, writers, architects, poets, philosophers, scientists, artists, entrepreneurs etca were White from the time of the Founding (and before) onward. And, of course, Protestanism has had a major influence on this continent since the arrival of the Mayflower, and most of the political philosophers invoked by the Founders were British, as well as Greek, Roman and French, and those political ideals laid the groundwork for the country.

Rather than aimlessly hating ourselves and our heritage, we should celebrate American culture as having been tremendously liberating - in so many respects. Economic prosperity, the adoption of the rule of law, and religious freedom are only some of the hallmarks of classical America. We've also historically been known around the world as tirelessly hardworking, upright and moral people, who defend our own when necessary - à la our muscularity seen in conflicts with everyone from Britain, to Mexico, to the Nazis & Communists...

Black voters are turning from Clinton to Trump in new poll | New York Post

Imagination? Clinton needs 90% of the black vote to win, she is not going to get 90%.

The side that depends on 90% of white evangelicals ought not to bring this up. But I guess it can't help itself when race is in the subject. Whites OKAY!! Black BAAAD.
But I do like how easy you guys make it to point this out.

So, what is YOUR definition of "white culture." Please...enlighten us with your radically leftist views on how white people should be, in your eyes. Don't prop up a YouTube video. Tell us in YOUR words.

Bonus points if you successfully leave out Trump or his supporters. The OP is not about "Trump Culture," it's "White Culture." As a white person, I want you to describe exactly what my culture is, without making a punk out of yourself and just blabbing on and on about Trump.
