The Two Main Strands of White Nationalism

White Nationalism, as a political and ideological movement, consists of two primary strands: separatist White Nationalism and inclusivist White Nationalism. Separatist White Nationalism advocates for a racially homogeneous nation-state, free from non-White inhabitants, while Inclusivist White Nationalism seeks to maintain a White demographic supermajority within a multiracial society, similar to the racial composition of the early United States. Both models share the overarching goal of preserving White identity, culture, and political dominance, yet they differ in their strategies and their willingness to integrate non-Whites into the national fabric.

Early America: Ethnonationalist Foundations

The United States was founded on principles that aligned closely with inclusivist White Nationalism, aiming to maintain a dominant White population while allowing limited non-White presence under conditions that ensured White political and cultural supremacy. Numerous historical documents, laws, and statements from the Founding Fathers support this interpretation:

  1. The Naturalization Act of 1790
    • The first law governing U.S. citizenship explicitly restricted naturalization to “free white persons”, demonstrating an early commitment to maintaining a White polity. This stipulation was not merely an early legal precedent but was reinforced through subsequent updates to naturalization laws for generations. Court rulings consistently upheld that the law excluded not only non-Whites but also foreign religions such as Islam. These racial and cultural restrictions remained a foundational element of U.S. immigration policy well into the 20th century, persisting into living memory before being dismantled through later legal and legislative changes.
  2. Statements from the Founding Fathers:
    • John Jay (First Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Federalist No. 2): “With equal pleasure I have as often taken notice that Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people–a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, by their joint counsels, arms, and efforts, fighting side by side throughout a long and bloody war, have nobly established general liberty and independence.”
    • Thomas Jefferson (Notes on the State of Virginia, 1785): “Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people are to be free; nor is it less certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live in the same government.” Jefferson supported colonization efforts to relocate freed slaves outside of the U.S.
    • James Madison: “To be consistent with the principles of our government, we must deny citizenship to those who are not of European descent.”
  3. State and Local Laws:
    • Many states implemented laws restricting voting, land ownership, and civil rights based on race, reinforcing White dominance.

The Failure of Inclusivist White Nationalism

The early American model of White Nationalism, while dominant for centuries, ultimately failed due to the gradual inclusion of non-Whites into the body politic. This process unfolded in key stages:

  1. Abolition of Slavery & Reconstruction (1865-1877): The enfranchisement of freed slaves was the first major step in eroding White political exclusivity.
  2. Civil Rights Amendments: The 14th and 15th Amendments granted birthright citizenship and voting rights to non-Whites, fundamentally altering the racial foundation of the nation.
  3. Early 20th Century Immigration: While the Immigration Act of 1924 sought to preserve European racial dominance, subsequent laws gradually undermined these restrictions.
  4. Civil Rights Movement (1950s-60s): Led to legislative changes such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which ended legal racial discrimination and enshrined racial egalitarianism.
  5. 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act: Opened the floodgates to non-European immigration, leading to the gradual demographic decline of Whites from nearly 90% in 1960 to approximately 55% today, with projections indicating a White minority status around 2040.

The Inevitable Erosion of the National Identity

The failure of inclusivist White Nationalism illustrates a fundamental lesson in political demography: once a nation allows significant numbers of outsiders into its population, it is only a matter of time before these groups seek increased political power. Over decades, this results in the reorientation of the national agenda toward the interests of non-native groups, often at the expense of the original majority population.

  • The Civil Rights Acts have effectively established supra-constitutional legal frameworks that privilege minority groups while restricting White Americans’ right to free association and racial self-advocacy.
  • Affirmative action policies in education and employment explicitly disadvantage Whites in favor of non-Whites.
  • Ethnic advocacy groups (e.g., NAACP, La Raza) are not only permitted but actively encouraged, whereas similar White advocacy is labeled as hate-based.
  • Media and cultural narratives now overwhelmingly favor diversity and multiculturalism while portraying White racial consciousness as inherently immoral.

The Case for White Separatism

Given the historical trajectory, separatist White Nationalists argue that peaceful separation is the only viable solution to ensure the survival and flourishing of White people. This philosophy is based on fundamental moral and biological principles:

  1. The Natural Order of Human Affiliation
    • Just as a father prioritizes the well-being of his own children over those of his neighbors, so too should a people prioritize their own survival and advancement. This is neither hatred nor bigotry, but an extension of the natural law that governs human evolutionary fitness.
  2. The Failure of Integration and Universalist Utopianism
    • Decades of social experiments—such as desegregation, affirmative action, and forced integration—have failed to achieve equality of outcomes, despite immense financial and political investment.
  3. The Right to Ethnic and Racial Self-Determination
    • Every other racial and ethnic group is granted the right to advocate for its own interests. White people should demand the same right without fear of persecution.

Conclusion: The Choice Between Inclusion and Survival

The lesson of history is clear: inclusion leads inevitably to demographic and political displacement. White Nationalists who advocate for separatism do so not out of hatred for others, but out of love for their own people. Just as Asians, Africans, and other groups have their own homelands where their cultures and genetic legacies can flourish, so too should Whites have the right to secure their own future.

White Separatism is, therefore, not an ideology of aggression but one of self-preservation. It is based on a fundamental respect for all peoples, advocating for mutual respect and peaceful coexistence through geographic separation. It is the logical and moral response to the historical lessons of inclusion, ensuring that the unique genetic and cultural identity of White people endures for generations to come.
