Alt-Right: WASPs and Jews

It appears that in America there is a strong new movement that calls itself=
 alt-right. According to them, black people are lazy and violent, Jews are =
evil manipulators, and Muslims are terrorists.

I ask these people: Where would America be without Michael Jordan, Eddie Mu=
rphy and Colin Powell? I ask these people: Where would America be without A=
lbert Einstein, Mark Spitz, Donald Rumsfeld, Henry Kissinger, Adam Sandler,=
 Steven Spielberg and Ayn Rand? I ask these people: Where would they as for=
mer Tea Party be without the Koch brothers? All these people contribute a l=
ot to America. And they contribute much more than they would if they had si=
mply assimilated into the WASP culture, as some people say that they should=
.

Every culture has something wrong with it. That includes the White Anglo Sa=
xon Protestant American. Now there are many things that are right with that=
 culture, and they have the right to affirm these virtues. The stress on ch=
aracter, hard work, strength and ethics is right. The biggest problem with =
this culture is emotional repression. Apparently feelings are for the weak =
and the stupid, and anyone showing feelings is trampled down. For people wh=
o do such a thing, the greatest nightmare is a feelings-oriented person wit=
h a brain, as many Jews are. They are a nightmare for two main reasons. One=
 is that they cannot be credibly portrayed as stupid and thus form a refuta=
tion by counterexample of this falsehood in their worldview. And the other =
is that they have the wits to be able to help other feelings-oriented peopl=
e whom they want to trample down. So portray them as evil manipulators or d=
angerous individuals. Brand them with untreatabled disorders. Or claim that=
 their whole culture is evil.

Regarding the black people, I am close to a number of black ladies who expe=
rienced domestic violence, and from what I have heard from them I feel like=
 punching the men who had treated them that way in the face. However this i=
s not limited to black people, and I feel the same way about a number of pe=
ople who are Muslim, Russian, Australian and the American WASP. That some b=
lack people are lazy and violent is certainly correct. However there are an=
y number of others who are no such thing. It is correct to go after the gui=
lty; but do not stick these labels on the innocent. I have seen a number of=
 good efforts that the black people are doing to improve the behavior of pe=
ople in their community, and these efforts deserve respect. Yes there are s=
tupid hoodlums who are black. But there are also many black people who are =
admirable individuals, and they do not deserve to be blamed for the sins of=
 the hoodlums.

One thing they are right about is that political correctness is wrong. Yes,=
 it is completely wrong. Not only does it fail to achieve its stated goals =
of tolerance and respect, but it makes them impossible. For me to actually =
tolerate or respect you I must understand your perspective. For me to do so=
 you must be able to express your honest opinion, however offensive it may =
be. If you cannot express your honest opinion because someone considers it =
offensive, I will never understand your actual perspective, which means tha=
t I will not know whether or not to extend to you actual tolerance and resp=
ect.

Maybe the WASP culture has been criticized too much, and it may be valid th=
at it should remind people of the positives in it, of which once again ther=
e are many. However do not in the process bring back features that are wron=
g. Do not bring back emotional repression. Do not bring back coldness. Do n=
ot bring back meanness and cruelty. If you do that, it will always be only =
a matter of time before something like 1960s happens again.

So yes, celebrate the things that you are right about and that are right in=
 your character. But do not portray as evil or lazy or violent or whatever =
people who are none of these things and many of whom are strongly contribut=
ing citizens. America benefits from many black people and many Jews. And it=
 is rightful that these people be properly credited for the work that they =
are doing for America.
