Recently, many Republicans have been complaining bitterly about John McCain’s failure to take advantage of many of Barack Obama’s obvious weaknesses. In particular, why has the McCain campaign ignored Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s white-bashing pastor? Today, McCain finally released an ad revealing Obama’s history with the disgraced minority activist group ACORN, which pressured banks to make risky loans and has a history of voter registration fraud. But why did it take McCain so long to raise this association when it is so embarrassing for Obama? And why hasn’t McCain used the financial crisis as an occasion to denounce affirmative action, which is deeply unpopular with voters? After all, government policies that pressure banks to make loans on easier terms to non-whites than whites are certainly a form of affirmative action. McCain’s avoidance of these topics is an example of the great silence on racial issues that leukophobia, or the fear and loathing of white people, forces on America. As we saw in a previous article, leukophobia attributes to whites a uniquely racist, intolerant, greedy, and violent nature. So entrenched are these hostile stereotypes in the minds of Americans, and particularly of the elites, that any white who criticizes non-whites is immediately suspect. It is as though criticism of minorities were the thin end of a wedge that will end in lynchings and genocide. This paranoia is particularly pronounced when it comes to Republicans, since they are, in Howard Dean’s words, the “white, Christian party.” Leukophobia makes fundamental issues of race entirely unmentionable. The most momentous problem in America today is the coming of white minority status, a process that will bring with it enormous changes and conflict. Yet the demographic transition is virtually never mentioned by politicians, and, when it is, always welcomed as a wonderful boon. Imagine this scenario. Someone in last week’s town hall debate between Barack Obama and John McCain, in which the candidates answered questions from the audience, stands up and asks, “According to the Census Bureau, white people will become a minority in the US by 2042. Given these demographic trends and the widespread acceptance of interracial marriage, American whites will probably cease to exist as a distinct people within two or three centuries. Senators McCain and Obama, do you believe the extinction of the white race in America is a good thing?” Of course, the people responsible for vetting the audience for the debate would never allow such a wild-eyed maniac in. However, if one did manage to get past the gatekeepers, how would the candidates react? They might well refuse to answer. If they did, they would no doubt brush the questioner off with a few stern words about intolerance and racism and do their best to move on quickly. No matter how reasonable it is, our elites put concern for white survival on par with neo-Nazism. Leukophobia not only prevents the discussion of fundamental racial issues but also more superficial ones. Consider the regime of censorship that the McCain campaign has imposed on its own supporters. Last month, Didi Lima, a Hispanic Republican Party official who was working for McCain, was removed from her post for saying, “I’m very much afraid that the Democratic Party is going to do [to Hispanics] the same thing that they did with the African-American culture and make them all dependent on the government and we don’t want that.” A McCain spokesman said Lima’s comments “are not tolerated on [McCain’s] campaign.” Apparently, Republicans are no longer allowed to notice high black poverty and welfare dependence rates. Similarly, some young immigration restrictionists attending the Republican National Convention were told to take down a sign saying “Build a Fence” by the Secret Service on the orders of the Republican Control Room. Signs reading “Viva McCain” were welcome, however. Of course, none of this discourages the liberal media, who accuse Republicans of racism on the most contrived of pretexts. When Sarah Palin impugned Barack Obama for “palling around with terrorists” like William Ayers, an Associated Press article called the remark “racially tinged,” despite the fact that Ayers is white. When McCain put out an ad comparing Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, the New York Times accused him of appealing to whites’ fears of interracial sex. The very racial makeup of the Republican Party is enough to put some commentators on edge. Thus, Harold Meyerson of the Washington Post called the Republican National Convention “shockingly—unAmericanly—white.” Last month The Huffington Post’s Nora Ephron seethed, “I forget how white [Republicans] are, and mean-spirited, and thin-lipped.” For these commentators, the very whiteness of the Republican Party renders it suspect and dangerous. A more consummate expression of leukophobia could scarcely be imagined. When they are pilloried for the color of their skin, no wonder Republicans are afraid to complain about Jeremiah Wright. A recent experiment performed by psychologists shows that whites are nervous about even mentioning race when talking to non-whites, even when race is crucial to the conversation. “Whites are strategically avoiding the topic of race because they’re worried that they’ll look bad if they admit they notice it in other people,” said one of the researchers. This week, we witnessed the terrible consequences of the great silencing. After all, the current financial crisis and terrifying stock market crash are in part due to America’s failure to confront racial reality. Given their tendency to seek immediate gratification regardless of long-term costs, blacks and Hispanics are naturally worse credit risks than whites are. Thus America’s decades-long effort to create a world in which “the improvident races” have rates of home ownership equal to that of whites was a sure way to destroy the credit markets. If America were capable of confronting hard truths about race, we would all likely be better off today. No matter how much money we may be losing as a result of the financial crisis, and no matter how devastating the long-term effects on our economy, it is impossible for a race realist to watch the current debacle without some degree of satisfaction. A country that silences fundamental truths deserves to crash. We are finally seeing a castle built upon the sands of cowardice and wishful thinking crack at the foundations. Hopefully, a more courageous and honest nation will emerge from the rubble.

I kind of like the irony here. Notice how the author blames the financial meltdown on the wets & spooks while carefully sidestepping the 'race' of the culprits responsible for the whole mess. Write it, live it, Bubba. Who crashed the economy again?
good catch

Since when do racist punks warrant praise. Ian is a punk and a racist and anybody who buys into this crap is sick.
You're voting for Curios Obama, correct?

Let's see.. because I am against racisim, discrimination of any kind and such that means I'm voting for Obama. You a racist also? I'm sick of neocons, racists of any color, war mongers, sexists and such. If you have a problem with that then see a shrink. American is going to hell in a hand basket and all those causing it to happen should be shot.
Jealousy is so ugly....
Never mind Christine. I take it you have never read anything by him. If you support that kind of crap then you are just turning out to be like Goldie.

would you please tell me what is racist in this particular commentary. you don't see the reverse discrimination against whites, huh? or you only hate racism and discrimination when it's against a person of color?

I am over 55, white and a Christian. The difference is I am not going to fall into the neocon Hegelian dialectic trap and help them to further destroy the country I fought for in another immoral war. While you guys post this crap the neocons and atheist Ashekenazim are busying destroying our future and the future of our children.
sorry, i'm not following your line of thought here. what has the content of the article got to do with neocons? why is it racist for this author to point out that white people are indeed being silenced? and why are you troubled by even the discussion of it?

If you're a Viet Nam veteran then please tell us about all the race riots that the NEGROES started all around the planet on U.S. military installations. Tell us about all the white servicemen who were beat and murdered by black thugs who never should have been admitted into the military. I'm sure you witnessed it according to your stated age.
If you take the time to read some of his articles you will see he is a typical stormfromt person. While Americans allow this type of crap to distract them from the real threat to this country bush and the neocons continue to destroy our Constitutional rights, civil liberties and our economy. It's time people put aside this racist, liberal this, liberal that, conservative this, conservative crap that and accept that many of current PNAC and that bunch are former communists, socialist worker party members and their goal is to turn America into another Israel. If anybody might have a valid reason for being racist it is me. In 1970 while I was stationed in San Diego I was caught up in the middle of a race riot that also took place in LA and SF. I was beaten to within an inch of my life and was sure I was going to be killed. A black friend who I was with at the EM club stepped in and put his life on the line to save me by grabbing me in a headlock and acting like he was hitting me. At the same time he was telling those who were beating the hell out of me that he was going to "cap my ass" and that they should get some other white guys somewhere else. When they turned away and left he picked me up and carried me to sick bay. I will not be distracted by BS like this when the real threat to our country comes from our own government and they use this kind of garbage to distract us from what they are really doing. And it is foolish to cause further division among Americans, particularly with bogus crap, while they turn our country into another USSR (remember who the primary bunch was during the 1917 Russian Revolution). Does that explain it well enough?
read the next post and your question will be answered.
Before you get wound up with your ranting, read this for a clue: inverted- world.com/index.php/artic...y_i_started_this_website/ Notice the David Duke picture with a "red X" through it. Race realists are not all stormfronters', there are varying degrees and philosophies.
first of all, i had never heard of Ian Jobling and have never read anything he's written before. my assessment was of THIS particular article which i still fail to understand what you find objectionable in it. secondly, i can understand if you do not wish to be "distracted by this BS" but why denigrate and insult me (comparing me to Goldi???) and the entire forum because we are interested in discussing racial issues? further, there is a plethora of articles, news, and commentary on varied topics posted on this forum and you have the option to ignore any thread, any comment, or any poster that you want.

You should apologize quickly for this ill considered remark. I wouldn't let her rest tonight without saying you're sorry. The comment was hostile and indefensible. She didn't deserve it, and you are clearly projecting.
further, there is a plethora of articles, news, and commentary on varied topics posted on this forum and you have the option to ignore any thread, any comment, or any poster that you want. Regardless of Ian's history, your observation is timely because it raises the question; "Will white folks be able to speak freely under an Obama presidency, or will his supporters shout us down with cries of "racist" and hater!" to avoid answering tough questions if (when) Obama starts to carve up the treasury for his buddies the way all presidents do? Oh, yeah, bush_is_a_moonie wants us to just forget all that ol' racial hostility until it's time for him and his homies to whip it out and sidestep real questions that all Americans should have the right to ask but whites won't dare mention above a whisper!
I guess you have all the friends you need then.
That is so wrong.
Cool
It's the second mouse that gets the cheese
White guilters can justify and sugar coat anything.
Shot by whom? I'm a racist, a man of my race. You will be a good soldier for JOG and it will be men like me who you will have to shoot for not going along with your forced diversity BS. May the best side prevail. Oh, and the fact that you were "saved" by some nigger from a pack of other niggers 38 years ago has nothing to do with the greater question of whether or not the White race is worth preserving, thus is a noble cause worth fighting for. That you think Our Cause is impacted whatsoever by your anecdotal incident from decades ago simply demonstrates that you haven't learned to grasp the concept of a 'non sequitur.' It simply doesn't follow. I was set upon by a pack of Peurto Ricans forty years ago, myself, and none of them "saved" me. I saved myself. What did that prove?
It's Great to be White!
