Post-Americanism and the Great Silencing

Post-Americanism and the Great Silencing Given that our immigration policies are so overwhelmingly detrimental to our country, why don't we change them? And why is there so little honesty about the realities of the immigration in our nation's public sphere? Why is it that, in the midst of this nightmare, we have two presidential candidates who not only barely mention America's most pressing problem, but actually support amnesty for illegal immigrants and increases in our immigration quotas? As we saw in The Great Silencing, the restriction of discussion on immigration is part of a broader taboo against criticism of minorities by whites. The taboo is the result of leukophobic stereotypes that paint any manifestation of white ethnocentrism, no matter how reasonable, as the thin end of the wedge that will eventually lead to lynchings and genocide. As William McGowan has documented in Coloring the News, the American press has a long history of assimilating attempts to restrict immigration with Nazism and other forms of "racism." Krikorian documents that the Mexican government has done the same thing. This rigid hostility to white ethnocentrism has given rise to what Krikorian calls a "post-American" elite, which I have elsewhere called "the destructive class." http://whiteamerica.us/index.php/art...ructive_class/ This elite identifies with humanity at large rather than with any particular nation, rejects the legitimacy of the United States as a distinct nation-state, and promotes multicultural tolerance as the highest value. There is no issue on which elite and majority opinion are more at odds: 60 percent of the American public sees current immigration levels as a threat to the vital interests of the United States, but only 14 percent of elites do. However, since the elites control the dominant organs of political commentary, the legitimate rage of the American majority can find no voice. If America is ever to wake up from the immigration nightmare, the white majority must rebel against the great silencing and assert its right to judge what is best for the country without worrying about wounding minority self-esteem or incurring the wrath of the elites. If we don't, we can expect to see the complexion and character of our nation change at the same dizzying speed as our government continues to put the interests of immigrants above our own. Excerpted from America's Immigration Nightmare By Ian Jobling http://whiteamerica.us/index.php/art...ion_krikorian/ I apologize for this off topic article. I do think that left "as is" this immigration problem will destroy America. ted |
