more concern for them than I have for the Hottentots. They are
God’s poor; they always have been and always will be so
everywhere. . . . The laws of political economy will determine
their position and the relations of the two races. Congress can
not contravene those.[/quote]

Francis Parker Yockey
[quote]Francis Parker Yockey has significantly influenced the
neo-fascist movement, receiving acclaim from many who share his
perspectives. His advocacy for a Spenglerian Worldview, focusing
on the creation of a Pan-European Empire, has been notably
celebrated. Yockey devoted his life to the idea of a Europe free
from external cultural influences that he believed diluted its
true nature. He aspired for Europe to fulfill its World Destiny
through "Endless Imperialism" and the rise of "Ethical
Socialism." Despite the obscurity surrounding much of Yockey's
early life, this exploration aims to illuminate his biography
and examine the development of his political activism.
...
Yockey called for a unified Western Empire to fulfill the West’s
destiny, drawing from Carl Schmitt, Oswald Spengler, and
Friedrich Nietzsche.
...
Yockey argued for a European spiritual ethnogenesis, suggesting
that cultural assimilation was possible within European groups
but not with "alien cultural groups," with Slavs being a
potential exception due to their "Northern Barbarian Stock."
Yockey's discourse on race intertwined biological, cultural, and
spiritual aspects, proposing a focus on a "Culture Bearing
Stratum" to enhance the race's quality. He posited that Western
culture could not integrate individuals from certain "barbaric
races" due to insurmountable cultural and biological
differences.
...
Frederick Weiss, a devotee of Oswald Spengler like Yockey, was a
significant ally and friend to Yockey. Weiss contributed
writings and support to radical groups, exploring Spenglerian
ideas in his piece Germania delende est. Here, Weiss delved into
the notion that race is influenced by genetics and environment,
voicing his alarm over the white world's peril amidst the rise
of non-white populations and communist influences within white
societies. Weiss pondered the utility of atomic weaponry when
the adversary had penetrated the defenses. During periods of
legal pursuit against Yockey, Weiss offered sanctuary, providing
a safe haven for Yockey when he returned to the United States.
Weiss and Yockey alike considered Russia a distinct
civilization, sprawling across Eurasia, and aspired to create a
Great Russian Empire.
...
Yockey purportedly relied on the financial support of a wealthy
Jewish woman drawn to his fascist ideologies.[/quote]

White Westerners oppress the world not because they 'lack food
and resources,' but because they truly have an evil worldview.
[quote]In the early (theological) versions of the Racial
Contract, this difference was spelled out in terms of heathen
unwillingness to recognize God's word. One early
seventeenth-century minister characterized Native Americans as
"having little of Humanitic but shape, ignorant of Civilitie, of
Arts, of Religion, more brutish than the beasts they hunt. more
wild and unmanly [than] that unmanned wild Countrey, which they
range rather than inhabite; captivated also to Satans
tyranny."42 In later, secular versions, it is a raced incapacity
for rationality, abstract thought, cultural development,
civilization in general [generating] those dark cognitive spaces
on Europe's mapping of the world), In philosophy one could trace
this common thread through Locke's speculations on the
incapacities of primitive minds, David Hume's denial that any
other race but whites had created worthwhile civilizations,
Kant's thoughts in the rationality differentials between blacks
and whites, Voltaire's polygenetic conclusion that blacks were a
distinct and less able species, John Stuan Mill's judgment that
those races "in their nonage" were fit only for despotism." The
assumption of nonwhite intellectual inferiority was widespread,
even if not always tricked out in the pseudoscientific appatatus
that Darwinism would later make possible. Once this theoretical
advance had been made, of course, there was a tremendous
outpouring of attempts to put the norming on a quantifiable
basis - a revitalized craniometry, claims about brain size and
brain corrugations, measurings of facial angles, pronouncements
about dolichocephalic and brachycephalic heads,
recapitulationism, and finaly, of course, IQ theory - the
feature putatively correlated with intelligence varying, but the
desired outcome of confirming nonwhite intellectual inferiority
aIways achieved[/quote]

[quote]John H. Van Evrie (1814–1896)[1] was an American
physician and defender of slavery[2] best known as the editor of
the Weekly Day Book and the author of several books on race and
slavery which reproduced the ideas of scientific racism for a
popular audience.[3] He was also the proprietor of the
publishing company Van Evrie, Horton & Company.[4] Van Evrie was
described by the historian George M. Fredrickson as "perhaps the
first professional racist in American history."[5] His thought,
which lacked significant scientific evidence even for the
time,[6] emphasized the inferiority of black people to white
people, defended slavery as practiced in the United States and
attacked abolitionism, while opposing class distinctions among
white people and the oppression of the white working class.
...
he reinterpreted the Golden Rule through a racial lens, arguing
that one need only treat another as one would like to be treated
if the other is of the same race as oneself.[13]
...
Van Evrie argued that the presence of black people and Native
Americans in the United States provided the basis for American
democracy; it "led directly to the establishment of a new system
based on foundations of everlasting truth—the legal and
political equality of the race, or of all those whom the
Almighty Creator has Himself made equal."[29] In Negroes and
Negro "Slavery" Van Evrie argued that slavery was a necessary
condition for white freedom because it allows the elite to be
free of manual labor and so to pursue education, which for Van
Evrie was the foundation of freedom.[30]
...
He felt that "slavery" was an unsuitable descriptor for the
position of black people in the antebellum South, as the word
implied an unnatural relationship, whereas the institution of
slavery, for Van Evrie, was "the most desirable thing in human
affairs".[24] "The simple truth is," he wrote, that "there is no
slavery in this country; there are no slaves in the Southern
States."[32] Van Evrie believed that slavery was divinely
ordained as a part of nature: God had designed the races of
humans for specific purposes, according to which slavery was the
natural condition of black people; and white people, defined by
certain physical features, were naturally fit to be masters.[18]
He saw the relationship between a slave and their master as
resembling the relationship between a father and a child
...
He considered anti-slavery sentiment to be a delusion derived
from "European aristocrats who by holding up the imaginary
wrongs to American slaves diverted attention from their own
mistreatment of the white working class."[38]
...
Van Evrie believed that the greatness of the United States could
be attributed to the fact that its white peoples had mixed with
one another while refusing to mix with black or Native
people.[21] He believed that the English settlers of the Colony
of Virginia had valued class distinctions and believed some
white men to be superior to others, but their contact with black
people had led them to realize how alike and naturally superior
they collectively were. This consciousness, Van Evrie argued,
had given rise to the egalitarian ideas of the Revolutionary
era.[43]
His belief in the necessity of slavery was set against a
critique of class privilege and social stratification in
homogeneous white societies, including the perceived oppression
of the working class and peasantry by the aristocracy in the
United Kingdom, on grounds that the subordination of white
people to other white people was unjust and "artificial".[44]
"The subordination of whites to whites," he wrote in the Day
Book (then published as the Caucasian) in 1863, "is unjust and
artificial. The English are ruled by those who are not naturally
superior, while American democracy assures self-government of,
by, and for naturally equal whites."[38]
...
Wood attributed Van Evrie and his contemporaries' opposition to
miscegenation to two factors: concern for the perceived purity
of white women, and fear that the white race would be
diminished. Van Evrie believed that the "delicate" nature of
white women in the South was the result of traditional southern
attitudes toward race relations, that love across the racial
divide was "eternally impossible," and that southern white women
believed their "degradation and debauchment" to be the objective
of the Union in the American Civil War.[59] In 1983, literary
critic Eric Sundquist wrote that Van Evrie had "anticipated ...
the hysterical defense of southern womanhood that would become
and remain the touchstone of white racism".[40][/quote]
