Kevin MacDonald August 24, 2009 The health care debate continues to rivet the country. By most accounts, the sheer emotional intensity of the protests has forced Democrats to scale back their plans for nationalized health care. And who are these angry protesters? The vast majority of these angry citizens are White people — a topic I wrote about recently, but before the health care debate assumed center stage. The health care debate seems to have ratcheted things up a notch. As an NPR commentary of August 13 noted, Actually, it's White women too: [pics] A Democrat strategist commented, I've never seen as angry an electorate as this one. …. They're as scared as I've ever seen them, and that manifests into anger. There is a general fear that the American dream is not going to be there for them or their children. … There is concern about trust broken between government and the people. Angry White people. And we are not talking about elite Whites who wouldn’t have to worry about health care no matter what the government does. This is racially-based populism: The protest is coming from middle- and lower-middle-class Whites, not Blacks and Latinos in the same social classes. And it’s about more than health care. A month ago it was the angry White people who support Sarah Palin. And before that, it was angry Whites participating in "tea parties" protesting the stimulus bill. It's not any specific issue, but a generalized fear that the country is slipping away from them — that the Obama presidency is moving America very rapidly into a country that they would not recognize and where they do not have political power. Our friend, Mark Potok, of the $PLC, comments, "Clearly, this president has set off a real rage. ... Certain people look around and see this is not the country their white Christian forefathers built, and they are angry." Not that there's anything wrong with that. These angry White people are quite right to fear such a transformation. The anti-White revolution is working beautifully. Legal and illegal immigration is gradually but noticeably transforming the country so that the White populist base will have decreasing political power. By my calculation, by 2012, the Republicans would have to attract around 63% of Whites to get a majority (assuming Whites continue to represent 90% of the Republican vote). In the ideal world of the left, however, this transformation would be carried out without anger and mass protest, apart from the occasional skinhead, swastika-painting fringe that replenish the coffers of organizations like the $PLC and the ADL. White people would sink peacefully into the sunset of American politics, happily joining multicultural coalitions in both parties. The problem for the left is the anger. With huge majorities in both Houses of Congress and an Obama presidency that seemed committed to nationalized health care, the “progressives” are saying the Democrats should just push through a plan. Elections matter. We’ve got the power, so let’s do it. But trampling on the sensibilities of what remains a large constituency is very risky. These voters are energized in a way they were not during the 2008 election where the media’s slobbering love affair with Obama (including Chris Matthews’ “thrill going up my leg” when Obama speaks), the failed Bush presidency, the horrible economy, and John McCain (need I say more?) kept populist passions low. The White House seems to realize that simply having a large majority in Congress isn’t enough if a large angry minority is so enraged that they start storming the barricades with torches and pitchforks. Imagine the commentariat trying to explain away a 65–70% White vote for the Republicans in 2010 or 2012. The stark racial abyss of American politics would be staring everyone in the face. Best not to wake the sleeping giant until it’s really too powerless to matter much at all. There are doubtless a great many anxieties behind this anger. Certainly many lower-and middle-class Whites have been devastated by the changes in the labor market brought about by massive immigration (including the H1-B program that imports skilled workers), and many companies cutting health benefits because of the need to compete in a globalized economy in which American elites feel no obligation to protect American workers. And as immigration begins to transform cities in the heartland of America, more and more Americans are coming face to face with the future. Indeed, I suspect the next major outbreak of White anger will be any attempt by the Obama administration to legalize the millions of illegals. Already, the administration seems to be scaling back its ambitions on the immigration front. But I suspect that a large part of the fear is about what health care would be like if the progressive wing of the Democratic Party got its way. These middle class Whites envision themselves standing in line with Blacks, Latinos, legal and illegal immigrants, and everyone else. And they realize that in general the taxes of people like themselves are being used to support services for people quite a bit unlike themselves — people who pay proportionately far less of the tax burden and are part of the coalition of minorities that is the backbone of the Democratic Party, while 90% of the Republican vote comes from Whites. From an evolutionary perspective, this is a classic case of a public goods issue in a multicultural society. As noted by Frank Salter, because of closer ties of kinship and culture, ethnically homogeneous societies are more likely to be open to redistributive policies such as social welfare and nationalized health care. In an ethnically homogeneous society, providing basic services like health care is much more like helping relatives in your own family. European nationalized health care systems were initiated decades ago when those countries were ethnically homogeneous. In the US, the Medicare system was enacted in 1965 — well before the multicultural onslaught. Some enraged Whites may also have read about the aspects of the bill that make it “affirmative action on steroids,” including what amounts to a quota system for "underrepresented minorities" in medical schools. It's one thing to have affirmative action professors teaching obscure subjects to college students. But do people really want affirmative action doctors performing heart surgery? The problem for advocates of universal health care in the US is that this round of reform is being proposed at the precise point when general anxieties about America's multicultural future are on the minds of a whole lot of White people. It's not at all unreasonable for them to believe that universal health care will indeed be the embodiment of the multicultural nightmare of the future. And it's not at all unreasonable for them to be very angry about that. Finally, in my recent fundraising appeal letter, I suggested that the next revolution — like the one that resulted in our current multicultural nightmare — will be a top-down revolution that begins by converting the elite opinion makers. This anger among non-elite Whites suggests there is a possibility of a successful movement energized by non-elite Whites. In the health care debate, there certainly seems to be a prominent role of elite conservative media figures, such as Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, in mobilizing hostility toward the Obama plan and validating the energy of the protests. The question remains: Will these elite conservative voices openly advocate what needs to be done for their constituency to really take back the country?

Anger in White America — Again
If you've been anywhere near a TV in the past week, you have seen images of irate voters berating their elected representatives. And if so, you cannot have missed the strong representation of vociferous Caucasian males of a certain age. Theirs are not the only voices raised, but they are surely the loudest and most numerous.
the vocally disaffected represent a very real phenomenon that has been rising around the country since before Obama's election. It is growing in the face of a damaged economy, a series of bank and Wall Street bailouts, and big-dollar government programs to stimulate jobs and stave off foreclosures.

And the pissed off non-"White" Americans don't count?
I am guessing he is calling for a return to Jim Crow. The combination of granting the franchise to both women and minorities is how the white nationalists find themselves in such a political predicament. He may also desire to raise the voting age to around 30. People under 30 went 70 percent for Obama and they turned out in record numbers, leading many of those who used to lament the political apathy of the youth to long for the good ol' days of 25 percent turnout. A darker interpretation would be he is wanting someone to openly advocate genocide or at least deportation of all the nonwhites.

They are trying to play on the white guilt that got Obama elected in order to push socialized medicine. It is racist to oppose it.
The superficial will chalk this up as a race issue but it is not. Yes, a lot of blacks support Oh'bummer solely because "he's one of God's chilluns", but that is a superficial analysis at best. The real divide is between the educated working and middle classes and the uneducated dumbshits and the elites who manipulate them. There is a sizable, and growing, minority of blacks who are increasingly aware that, as the Reverend James Manning calls him, the "Mulatto Mack Daddy" is bad for black America on several levels. 1. He is enraging the white populace, already screwed without lubricant by the 3 preceding criminal administrations, and this anger could be turned against blacks by shallow thinkers to whom black people are a generality and not individuals. 2. Because blacks are perveived, correctly in too many cases, of having voted for Oh'bummer only because he was perceived as black this will drive a further wedge between black and white, and red, brown, and yellow. The result is a politically marginalized Black America. 3. Because of the increasing marginalization, resulting from Oh'bummer, there will be greater resentment and disaffection in the Black Community. 4. Some blacks, because they (like white racists) see things only in terms of race, will continue to back Oh'bummer regardless of how bad he is fucking them. 5. Some whites, because they only see race, will continue to rail against Oh'bummer never seeing the WHITE Banksters and Psychiatrists who put him into orofice. While I could go on the upshot is that the preening narcissistic "Mulatto Mack Daddy" needs to be thoroughly repudiated and if at all possible delegitimized by proving that he is not a natural born citizen (and perhaps not a citizen - in the legal sense) at all and removed from office. Otherwise this pResident will rip this country apart.

Except "that dog won't hunt". Even the White hand wringing left is beginning to get a clue as to who is really pushing the Obamacare© agenda i.e., Big Pharma and ultimately their owners - again the Banksters.

We can only hope. The more people who wake up the better off we will be.
The only way this country will be able to revert to it's former freedoms is if the Federal income tax is repealed and the voters have no reason to vote their pocketbooks (which has consistently been done since WWI).
Sure they do. 3/5.

We're heading into the "There's nothing to lose" category for many. It's a dangerous time for progressives.
Oh, that's easy. It should officially be renamed "The Corporate Owned Whorehouse", or "The Best Little Corporate Whorehouse in D.C." And Congress should be renamed "The Big Corporate Whorehouse." Let's face it, folks. America is and has ALWAYS been "Of the Elites, By the Elites and For the Elites". Always. And it will remain that way until that happy day comes when this corrupt, greedy and vicious empire of lies finally crumbles under the weight of its own B.S.

"If, from the more wretched parts of the old world, we look at those which are in an advanced stage of improvement, we still find the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry, and grasping the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually exercised, to furnish new pretenses for revenues and taxation. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape without tribute." --Thomas Paine, Rights of Man, 1791

Not until they are confident they will survive any scenario that might arise. Only when they are certain that the iron fist will protect them will this country drop into chaos. Look at this lust for power person that the Grim Reaper dragged away today. Unless the 550 people at the top are eliminated, the masses will wear their chains.

I have never been an admirer of military coups, however, I am at the point that one in this country would be as acceptable as the plans our "elected" government has for us. Opening day of Congress, throw a military fence around the Beltway, no one in, no one out. Those not caught in the dragnet would have a bounty on their heads. Each and everyone of them would be given a choice, resign immediately, and spend one year in prison, or face criminal charges in front of a Peoples court, not the rotten system we now have.

I feel just like Lod. I can feel the explosion coming, and with it will be resistance. How far it goes depends on how large a sliver of the military is as concerned as many out here are.

Remember 70 per cent of the Colonists sat on their hands and did nothing during the first Revolution. When the men of the masses won, they all came out cheering ready to breath the freedom. Human nature has not changed. The few will risk all, the many will risk nothing. Informing on you at every opportunity.

Perhaps we should institute a simple test of character and correlate the degree of character with the degree of citizenship and rights recognized for that individual. By a fair and impartial test you might be so lucky as to pass as 1/10th of a real human being.
Sure they do. 3/5.

Collectivists of the racist variety have very little to no mind. This is the case with all of the varieties of collectivists. Why should you small minded people be allowed to vote, drive, or own guns when you lack the essential qualities of a human being? It is true most non-"White" people do not have these qualities as they are your fellow collectivists, but why should we make an exception based on an arbitrary and meaningless physical characteristic? I know why - it favors you and your own group of small minded pseudo-humans. At least I'll be able to spend the next few years laughing at the irony of y'all complaining about the very same thing you are.
No.

I'll explain this to you and use small worlds so you understand. Whites have invented nearly everything in the world. The other races, almost nothing. If blacks had never existed, the world would never have noticed. The Scottish Enlightenment changed the world. There will never be an African Enlightenment, or Muslim one, or Mexican one, or Asian one. If you can't handle the truth, and instead babble leftist nonsense, that is your problem, not mine. I'm quite comfortable with the fact I'm an utterly superior to you in all ways. The reason, quite obviously, is that you are not white.

Small worlds? If you know any "big worlds" please share - I'm always looking to improve my vocabulary, but I suspect that you won't be able to teach me any I don't already know. Bullshit. The history of China alone proves you to be an ignorant fool. Again, bullshit. You are ignorant. No shit. How would one notice something that doesn't exist? Wow, you really don't know jack shit about the history, do you? I'm an autodidactic polymath & genuine genius. Truth is my specialty. You are ignorant and quite possibly an idiot - just because you don't know and don't understand what I am saying is a damn pathetic reason to try to pretend it's "leftist" or "nonsense". "that is your problem, not mine. " Unfortunately, you are my problem, as it's you ignorant insane idiots who keep ruining the world. I'm whiter than most white people, very likely my skin is a lighter shade than yours as it is usually only the anemic and the albinos who are whiter than I. I don't have nearly enough data about you to be sure, but most likely I am superior to you in most if not all ways, but my skin color has absolutely nothing to do with it. Nor is my unusual level of intelligence why I am superior to you - for that is something I was born gifted with. No, it's my individual character that makes me superior to you. You are just another sad sack of shit who lacks any substantial individual character and instead clings desperately to the achievements of other people based on the most tenuous of all possible connections. I've also met dozens of blacks (and Africans), Asians (and people of Asian descent), and Mexicans (and people of Mexican descent) who are superior to you. Would you like to know what you really are? White trash.

True, because it was based upon reason. You display a shocking lack of reason. Is your collectivism due to the combination of your failure as an individual human being and the fact that your ancestors were successful?
