What's "White Nationalism?"

S'plain Yourself, Scooter


If I say... as I said in a preceding post about pardoning Sheriff Arpaio... that President Trump's "base," the firmest core of his supporters, are White Nationalists, what am I saying?

Here, Let Wikipedia tell you...

White nationalism is a type of nationalism or pan-nationalism which holds the belief that white people are a race[1] and seeks to develop and maintain a white national identity.[2][3][4] Its proponents identify with and are attached to the concept of a white nation.[5] White nationalists say they seek to ensure the survival of the white race, and the cultures of historically white states. They hold that white people should maintain their majority in majority-white countries, maintain their political and economic dominance, and that their cultures should be foremost.[4] Many white nationalists believe that miscegenationmulticulturalismimmigration of nonwhites and low birth rates among whites are threatening the white race,[6] and some argue that it amounts to white genocide.[6]
White separatism and white supremacy are subgroups of white nationalism. Separatists seek a white-only state; supremacists believe that white people are superior to nonwhites,[4] taking ideas from social Darwinism and Nazism.[7] Both subgroups generally avoid the term supremacy because it has negative connotations.[8]

I am definitely NOT saying all of Trump's supporters are W.N.s, just that the pit in the center of the Trump peach is. The Arpaio pardon, the trouble for DACA, the trans/military move, The Wall... all that and more are aimed at the White Nationalist pit. 
Er, hard core. Hard core.

While I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion (while we should all agree on actual facts), I think White Nationalism is the exact wrong idea for America to survive, prosper and be the World Good Guy, providing leadership in the concepts of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. We are already a diverse society. And it's proving to be a powerful new formula for success. Best we stop knocking our own unique Democratic Experiment and get with the program.
