We have the self-evident right and duty to work for the survival of our own culture and civilization. There is no reason to believe that the advances of modernity and the political freedoms we enjoy will endure with the extinction of the civilization that allowed them to exist.

According to their website (http://www.westernyouth.org/):
‘What is YWC?
Youth for Western Civilization is a campus youth movement with a mission to organize, educate and train activists dedicated to the revival of Western Civilization.
Are you a racist/hate group?
We realize that any patriotic group is going to be accused of this regardless of what they do, so we don’t take the accusation seriously. Youth for Western Civilization has no racial requirements for membership and we are not a racist group. Anyone who agrees with our values can join.
What is Western civilization?
The fact that we even have to answer this question shows why our group is necessary. It would be amusing to ask the multicultural groups on campus to “define their culture” and see what they say. Western culture is built on the foundation of the Greco-Roman, Christian, and indigenous folk traditions that created the social norms, values, practices, and high culture of Europe and those places settled predominantly by the peoples from that area. While in some sense this culture has become globalized (countries all around the world use Western concepts like the rule of law, democracy, and limited government), we agree with Samuel Huntington’s definition of the Western world as limited in scope, rather than encompassing the entire developed world.’
Oy vey.
A racist group at CPAC?
Surely you jest!
The whole conference is nothing but a racist, hate group!
Ok….just watched it. Apparently being against racial preferences and illegal immigration is…..racist? Let me say that again….being against racial preferences is….racist?? Is that the gist of it? You call people that think it’s fucked up that the government and some other institutions base their hiring practices on racial and ethnic bean counting that unjustly put some at the bottom rung of the totem pole (due to their race) in the grievance industy you’ve created to buy votes….and they’re racist??
Whatever. A group like this is long overdue. I’ll be joining. Call me a racist. Whatever. I don’t give a shit. It’s meaningless now anyways. It’s a disingenuous way of trying to delegitimize and silence people or groups with views that you are threatened by, and in this case, *some people* are smearing them because they are a threat to a certain demographic being ranked #1 in the grievance industry.
Again, thank you. I’m signing up.
Here’s a realization liberals are going to have to come to sooner rather than later if they want to stay relevant: you can’t expect white americans to not look out for their own interests first, when every other demographic does exactly that. Seriously….some think blacks (or fill in any demographic higher than whitey on the historical grievance scale) should be hired over me, even in some instances when I’m more qualified…..and I think that is ridiculous, but I’m the racist? Yeah….kiss my behind. You are going to run white people out of the democratic party unless you drop this bullshit. And recent polls show it. You come across as hostile to many of us. Deal with it.
Thanks for speaking up for the oppressed, Moonbat! May your hard work dispel the long-held belief in the natural superiority of the white race!
Here’s a realization liberals are going to have to come to sooner rather than later if they want to stay relevant
Hm.
Reporter: What do you think of western civilization, Mr. Gandhi?
Gandhi: I think it would be a good idea.
You come across as hostile to many of us. Deal with it.
Poor, poor aggrieved ‘batty! How unfairly you are treated in this society as a white male!
Who were you talking about when you wrote “You come across…”? Were you talking about Oliver or black people as a group?
‘Apparently being against racial preferences and illegal immigration is…..racist? Let me say that again….being against racial preferences is….racist??’
So because this guy and his minions declare that higher educational institutions favor minorities over ‘real Americans,’ everyone should simply believe that there is a systemic anti-White bias on U.S. campuses?
Not buying it.
‘Whatever. A group like this is long overdue. I’ll be joining. Call me a racist. ‘
The communal gasp you don’t hear is the utter shock this statement has generated.
you’re probably too old to join, dumbass
They’ll probably waive the requirements for Moonbat. He’s their kind of victim: A bunch of white guys in college whining about how white guys can’t get into college anymore because of minorities.
Jrfunkenstein,
you’re creating a strawman argument with the “real americans” bs. They’re all “real americans,” however, the idiocy that is racial preferences happens to discriminate against one of them. Guess which one. And why the hell shouldn’t any white dude get pissed at the fact that some people and institutions think it’s just dandy to racially disciminate against them? Seriously….what part of getting passed over for a job, scholarship, etc, should I have ever been happy about if I was most qualified, and didn’t get it because of some stupid quota that in turn, could have allowed someone less qualified. I don’t want handouts. I don’t want special treatment. (like some do) I want real fairness. Not this warped bs by a bunch of race-obsessed collectivists that have no respect for merit, fairness or individuality. Again…tell me, why should I support any of these race-based perks, when all they will do and have done is fuck guys like me over? I’d love to hear an honest answer from you.
Quaker…
This isn’t about being a “part” of a collective in reality. It’s being *treated* as one of a collective that the government and some universities find it ok to discriminate against, rather than an individual judged on his or her merit. Example, white kid from poor area gets passed over by a school in favor of a black kid from a middle class area. What good is that doing anyone? The *some people* reference was towards anyone that continues to defend racism against whites. Include yourself in that bunch.
Paul D..
And may your comments on lefty blog sites dispel the myth that you have anything of substance to contribute to a thread. You’re a miniature Zython. Just stupid as all hell.
Oliver…
Look up his poll numbers among white voters now. Hell, I’ll do it for you….
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/thefix/white-house/obamas-problems-with-white-vot.html
And yet again on this site, none of you have really cared to address the substance of what I posted. Just more of the same ad hominem attacks, smartass comments, etc etc.
fafaroo….
It’s about being an individual, and not a statistic. I don’t think you’ll ever understand that though.
It’s about being an individual, and not a statistic. I don’t think you’ll ever understand that though.
Oh really? Cuz I thought it was about painting yourself as a victim of minorities and liberals no matter what the facts or your own circumstance.
Case in point, the moron at their site who writes a blog post with the headline: “Providence College Newspaper Censors Dr. Trifkovic.”
And how did the Providence College Newspaper “censor” the good doctor? By not reporting on the speech he gave on campus:
So to recap, the guy gives his speech on campus but he was “censored” because it wasn’t reported on.
That’s a pretty broad definition of censorship and free speech don’t you think?
Of course is is. Unless your whole purpose is to paint yourself as a victim of evil liberals despite reality.
As some other moron at the site described the doctor’s event:
CENSORSHIP!!!!
The *some people* reference was towards anyone that continues to defend racism against whites. Include yourself in that bunch.
Racism towards whites? In America?
Gosh, ‘batty! I look around and all I see are white men who can’t find jobs, can’t buy nice homes, are abused by the police, and treated poorly in restaurants and stores.
And it’s all because of the societal systems we have in place to deny the white man equal justice.
Put it this way, ‘batty: Since you seem to think white folks are the real victims of racism, you’d probably be willing to trade in your standing as a white person for the advantages of being black.
Right?
…when all they will do and have done is fuck guys like me over?
I’d love to hear how you, personally, have been fucked over by race-based decision making.
Example, white kid from poor area gets passed over by a school in favor of a black kid from a middle class area. What good is that doing anyone?
I’d also love to see you provide some evidence, you know, statistics, to show there is an imbalance between white and minority admissions in college and scholarships that favors a minority group or groups.
Every time you go off one of these screeds, Moonbat, you offer nothing but your own seething rage. You never provide evidence for any of the claims you’re making.
The same whiny idiots who throw a hissy fit about any perceived admission advantage given to minorities are surprisingly mum on legacy policy.
Golly, I wonder why- it can’t be because it primarily benefits caucasians, since they’re all for, like, a color-blind process and all.
Personally, I love when these indignant jackasses get up on their soapboxes and preach about how all they want is an honest, fair, let-the-chips-fall-where-they-may meritocracy.
No, they don’t. They simply want to take the current system, which might occasionally give overt, unfair advantage to a minority candidate, and replace it with the good ‘ol wink-wink, nudge-nudge system which routinely favored whites.
But not in a racist way, of course.
They simply want to take the current system, which might occasionally give overt, unfair advantage to a minority candidate, and replace it with the good ‘ol wink-wink, nudge-nudge system which routinely favored whites.
Almost agree.
They don’t have to re-introduce the wink-wink, nudge-nudge system. We still have that. They just want to do away with that other thing.
^ This. Consider my previous post amended.
‘…the idiocy that is racial preferences happens to discriminate against one of them. Guess which one. And why the hell shouldn’t any white dude get pissed at the fact that some people and institutions think it’s just dandy to racially disciminate against them?’
For the simple fact that just because some similarly minded proto-humans believe something without having a shred of evidence to support such a specious and ridiculous claim as ‘White people in America are being discriminated against,’ doesn’t make it true.
This same argument has been used by the Right for decades to decry attempts to negate actual discrimination against minorities, women and gays, and it’s been programs like Affirmative Action that have made it possible for those who have been systemically denied access to equal opportunity that has created a less oppressive society for everyone.
Are such programs perfect? No. Have they solved the issue of discrimination in America? No. Have they created a sense of outrage and intolerance from those who have seen their traditional power base threatened? Yes. Are these the same people who would reverse Brown vs. Board of Education? Yes. Do these people represent the future of America or its sordid past? The answer is obvious.
Do you seriously expect people to believe that White men and women are being denied access to colleges across America? Because that is just fucking ludicrous.
‘Seriously….what part of getting passed over for a job, scholarship, etc, should I have ever been happy about if I was most qualified, and didn’t get it because of some stupid quota that in turn, could have allowed someone less qualified.’
Maybe YOU were the one less qualified; what part of being White makes you believe you should be given you an automatic advantage over anyone who isn’t?
“My name is Dennis, and I’m a recovering White male.”
“Hello, Dennis.”
JRFunkenstein,
thank you for an honest answer that addressed the content of what I typed. Sincerely. I mean that. 9 out of 10 times any comment I type is met with immature snide remarks from assholes that aren’t really interested in exchanging ideas, but instead look for backup to reinforce their own rigid ideologies.
Anyhoo, in response to your post, I say the following….
The situation I gave was a hypothetical. The way affirmative action works now, it is not only likely, but certain, that there are people that have been passed over for a job, scholarhship, promotion, etc, because of their race. This only happens to white males. As a white man, I sincerely ask you, why should I ever support a policy that could/would/has unfairly discriminated against myself and people like me because of our race? Furthermore, why should I continue to support a political party that makes this one of the points of their focus. The Democratic party believes I should be discriminated *against* because of my race, even though I’ve never wronged anyone, none of my relatives have, and if anything, being of irish and cherokee heritage, got the short end of the stick more than most in that regard.
Also, for what it’s worth, I do believe programs like affirmative action were necessary to a point. I just think that in 2011, it’s time has passed. I don’t believe any demographic in this country can attribute it’s own flaws to the oppression of another demographic. Equal opportunity does not mean equal outcome racially. Cultures differ in what they place emphasis on. Asians outperform whites across the board. By your logic, I should assume that this country prefers asians, and is biased against everyone else. But we know that’s not the case. Asian culture stresses education and discipline more than ours. ANd quite frankly, we can apply that same logic to the white/black, white/hispanic disparities. That is my opinion. Perhaps we should just agree to disagree. I know I’m not going to change your mind. And you must realize this: the time for race-based perks is coming to an end. Every day that goes by, it becomes harder to justify. Liberals are eventually going to have to find another way to buy non-whites off. And make no bones about it, that is what your side of the aisle has done for a half century.
Good day sir.
MM,
I sincerely try to engage with everyone on the site in a civil manner, but will admit to often being goaded into commenting with an equal level of acrimony when that is directed at me. I recognize that this is not the most mature response, but being human, I will admit to sometimes succumbing to baser instincts of self defense when others decide to degenerate the level of correspondence to that of preteens in a schoolyard.
I’m sure we’ve often disagreed, though I don’t recall having the kind of vitriolic exchanges that I commonly have with Dennis or Frank, so for that you have my thanks as well. I can’t speak for others on this blog, but can only hope that for whatever it’s worth, they can see it’s possible to disagree without the slurs and insults.
‘The way affirmative action works now, it is not only likely, but certain, that there are people that have been passed over for a job, scholarhship, promotion, etc, because of their race. This only happens to white males.’
As I stated, AA is not a panacea that has eliminated discrimination, and I won’t argue that it’s impossible that there haven’t been instances where it has failed to achieve its goal of countering discrimination. However, the reality is that it was enacted to address the widespread and longstanding practices of discrimination against minorities which showed no evidence of being negated by the status quo, in this case Caucasian Americans, who for a considerable period had been the recipients of the benefits of such systemic inequalities, a fact which is undeniable.
These problems were not going to be addressed by continually telling minorities that ‘your time will come; be patient, change takes time,’ which had been the standard response to their pleas for an end to practices which left them incapable of striving for the American dream of homeownership, higher education, equal opportunity in the workforce and justice under the law.
It isn’t legitimate in my mind to dispose of those acts which serve to correct these injustices because some transgressions may occur, when the alternative has been shown to be indisputably worse.
The claim by you and this group that White males are currently the victims of a reverse discrimination policy that has incurred untold disparities and suffering has yet to be demonstrated by facts and evidence by either you or them, which is my problem with the entire notion that in 21st century America, White men are now the most oppressed demographic in that society, especially as they still constitute the bulk of the government, the judiciary, the police and security services, the corporate boardroom and the media.
‘As a white man, I sincerely ask you, why should I ever support a policy that could/would/has unfairly discriminated against myself and people like me because of our race?’
I certainly wouldn’t; I’m against injustice no matter how it’s fomented, but again, where is your evidence to support that this is actually happening?
‘Furthermore, why should I continue to support a political party that makes this one of the points of their focus.’
In what way has the Democratic party EVER supported injustice, especially against White men? From what I can see, White guys account for the majority of the Democratic Congressional members, state assembly members, governors, mayors and councilors across the nation; what would make me believe they got there IN SPITE of a policy they support which purports to oppress them?
‘The Democratic party believes I should be discriminated *against* because of my race, even though I’ve never wronged anyone, none of my relatives have, and if anything, being of irish and cherokee heritage, got the short end of the stick more than most in that regard.’
What can you provide as evidence to support this claim?
‘I just think that in 2011, it’s time has passed.’
Respectfully dude, when 40% of polled Republicans can suggest they believe President Obama is a foreign born, secret Muslim intent on spreading Sharia law and turning the U.S. into an Islamic caliphate state without a SHRED of evidence to support this nonsense, the idea that policies to counter racist and unjust discrimination are no longer necessary, is not born out by reality.
Come on, ask yourself honestly; if this man weren’t Black and named Barack Hussein Obama, would anyone suggest he wasn’t a U.S. born citizen and a Christian?
‘Equal opportunity does not mean equal outcome racially. Cultures differ in what they place emphasis on. Asians outperform whites across the board.’
I don’t believe it’s a cultural reality that Asians outperform Whites due to some inherent cultural work ethic, any more than you could claim Mexicans are lazy or Blacks are shiftless, as many have done, which is part of the reason a systemic correction of injustices in the U.S. are addressed by policies like AA.
‘By your logic, I should assume that this country prefers asians, and is biased against everyone else’
That is your assertion, not mine; people who study and work hard are not confined to any racial group.
‘Asian culture stresses education and discipline more than ours.’
That’s a convenient myth, but not one I ascribe to; I don’t know of any racial group that asserts you can’t achieve things by hard work or that you can achieve anything by not working hard for it.
How do you account for the fact there are very few Asian Americans in high political office, corporate boardrooms, the media etc, if they have such a ‘culturally’ inherent edge?
‘And you must realize this: the time for race-based perks is coming to an end.’
I hope you’re right, and for what it’s worth, no one will be happier on that day than Liberals. Sadly however, that day hasn’t dawned as yet.
‘Liberals are eventually going to have to find another way to buy non-whites off. And make no bones about it, that is what your side of the aisle has done for a half century.’
If you mean that by ‘buying off Whites,’ that White people still manage to retain the highest positions in the land in all aspects of society in spite of your claim of politically motivated social injustice, then i guess you’re admitting that this purported discrimination against Whites has been an abject failure.
‘Mankind censure injustice fearing that they may be the victims of it, and not because they shrink from committing it.’

Have a nice day.
Just for the record MM, you haven’t been immune from making acerbic comments, so maybe we should all just chill out and be adults.
Once again, no facts, all whine.
Just for the record MM, you haven’t been immune from making acerbic comments
Why does it seem like it’s always the conservatives on this board that whine about these sorts of comments, whilst still doing it themselves? Frank and moonbat come immediately to mind; I seem to recall Jay (and/or Jay Tea) doing so as well.

Seriously….what part of getting passed over for a job, scholarship, etc, should I have ever been happy about if I was most qualified, and didn’t get it because of some stupid quota that in turn, could have allowed someone less qualified.
This right here is nothing more than mere conjecture borne from arrogance. How do you know you were the “most qualified”? And even if you were (not likely), there’s other things to consider, like how having an employee that, say, advocates a violent overthrow the UN isn’t likely to be all that stable. Maybe they need to consider what’s wrong with them before blaming minorities.
Again…tell me, why should I support any of these race-based perks, when all they will do and have done is fuck guys like me over? I’d love to hear an honest answer from you.
To put it simply, it’s not all about you. There are minorities that can provide more in a certain field than you can, and pushing them to the side in favor of you hurts society as a whole. Not to mention the more qualified minority candidate.
I want real fairness. Not this warped bs by a bunch of race-obsessed collectivists that have no respect for merit, fairness or individuality.
What makes you think that getting rid of AA will further that goal? What makes you think that minorities will get a fair shake in this day and age? There are people in this country that believe that a religious minority shouldn’t be allowed to build a house of worship, that 2 consenting adults should be granted the same rights as other people because they’re the same gender, and that Joe Arpaio is a decent human being. Why are you not concerned about people like that sabotaging this “fairness” that you desire?
