TOQ Editor's Note: The following discussion of Michael O'Meara's recent
review of William Lind and the late Paul Weyrich's The Next Conservatism is
from the Occidental Dissent blog. It is so good, I have decided to steal it.

Occidental Dissent


At The Occidental Quarterly, Michael O'Meara is saying a lot that I happen to
agree with about America's racial decline. It wasn't a function of a small
cabal of Jewish cultural Marxists associated with the Frankfurt School. The
triumph of political correctness in the 1980s happened long after the Civil
Rights Movement had realized its primary goals. The worship of "diversity" as
a fundamental American value was unheard of before Judge Powell's opinion in
the Bakke case. Multiculturalism first emerged on the scene in the 1970s.
Chalking up our racial demise to "diversity snobbery" is putting the cart
before the horse.

Capitalism has always been one of the primary drivers of race replacement. In
the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the internal logic of international
markets (the profit motive) resulted in the dumping of hordes of negroes on
America's shores. The settlement of the West Indies was even more driven by
these concerns. In the mid-nineteenth century, demand for cheap labor in the
sparsely populated American West brought the first waves of Chinese immigrants
to the United States. This experience was repeated with the Japanese in Hawaii
(working on sugar plantations), Mexicans in the Southwest (who first came to
work on the railroads), and the Great Migration of blacks to Northern cities
(who came to work in wartime industries). The Immigration Act of 1924
specifically exempted Mexicans in order to appease Southwestern business
interests.

The Germans, the Irish, the Italians, the Scandinavians, the Slavs, and the
Jews all came in waves and settled throughout the American North. Most left
their homelands for economic reasons. Many were attracted by the wages being
offered by Northern industries at the time. Then as now, big business lobbied
Congress for loose immigration laws. The indigenous Yankees soon dwindled to a
minority throughout most of the Northeast. It was the push and pull of
America's capitalist economy that drove these demographic changes, not a vast
Jewish conspiracy.

The fate of New England is now happening on a nationwide scale. The U.S.
Chamber of Commerce, Business Roundtable, and the Wall Street Journal are
naturally the biggest boosters of open borders. The same fundamental forces
are at work that have always been operative throughout American history. The
only difference is that they are now met with less resistance than before.

Capitalism has eroded white racial consciousness in other insidious ways.
During the Cold War, Americanism came to be identified with anti-communism. In
order to score points for capitalism in the Third World, rightwing
anti-communists like Dean Acheson adopted anti-racist rhetoric and began
pushing for desegregation in the Jim Crow South. The most obvious example of
this would be the Eisenhower administration's response to the crisis in Little
Rock with the Civil Rights Act of 1957. America's elite ultimately cared more
about the wealth and privilege they enjoyed under capitalism than the racial
values inherited from their ancestors. And so, Truman and his postwar
successors would go on to give their seal of legitimacy to Martin Luther King
and his fellow radicals.

As the capitalist system evolved in the twentieth century, it became necessary
to dispense with traditional values like thrift and prudence in order to
sustain economic growth. The advertising industry began to take shape after
the First World War. Americans were molded by its propaganda into thinking of
themselves as consumers. An ethos of expressive individualism was encouraged
that ultimately became severely corrosive of white ethnocentrism. It triumphed
in the counterculture and eventually went on to dominate the cultural
mainstream.
