The White Anti-racist Community Action Network...

...Commonly known as "WACAN". This is a site dedicated to forming a community of people (Despite the title, not just white people. Anyone is allowed and indeed encouraged to join.) with a common goal; ending white supremacy in Northern America and Canada. That's the stated goal in any case, but I imagine that it extends to Europe too.

The site itself is well managed and has some good news items and intellectual injections that are often truly food for thought, well worth some detailed exploration. Obviously however, being a community, the forum is where the true action should be happening. Unfortunatly, this isn't really the case. The forum is rather empty and a couple of the regular members, avid Fullerites both, tend to steer the discussions down the "All white people are racist" path (itself a racist idea) and little gets to be acheived.

On the whole however, an injection of new and like minded members would really get WACAN kicking in the right direction, so the more people who hear about it the better:

Get in there!

White people are more racist than the rest?

Actually, no, that aint true. Let me demonstrate.

I live in Britain, so I'll go with the population there. In Britain, approxiametly 85% of the population is white, for the purpose of simplicity, I'm gonna call it 90%. That means 10% are non-white. Let's take those percentages and simplify the equation further:

Welcome to "Little Britain", population; twelve. Now, 90% of the population of "Little Britain" is white (for the mathematically challenged, that's 10 and-a-bit, we'll call it 10 people) and 20% are non-white (i.e. 2 and-a-bit, we'll call it 2 people) and all twelve of these people are racists sons-of-bitches. On average, everyone one of these people commits 5 acts of racism every day. These acts can be anything; an insult, a biased promotion, whatever. For the purposes of simplicity, we'll just assume they are all insults.

Now, every day those 10 white people sling 5 racial slurs each (for a total of 50) at the nonwhite people, each nonwhite person is a victim of racism 25 times a day. The nonwhite people do exactly the same thing, they sling 5 insults each, every day. This means that the white people are insulted just once every day. The inherent problem here being that despite the fact that nonwhite people are every bit as racist as white people, they are more likely to experience racism because they are the minority. Chat with a white person in South Africa, for them, its the other way round. Like Beharry said, "Sometimes you the bug, sometimes you the windshield".

When will there be equality? Well, let's see. In order for the white people to experience 25 acts of racism a day, the nonwhite people have to each sling 125 racial slurs every day. In other words, they have to be 25 times more racist than white people.

But wait, there's another way...If nobody commits any acts of racism, then nobody experiences any racism at all! That's the perfect solution, and one we should all strive towards.

Racist Suspect

Roight, this one is pretty wierd, so bear with me.

As soon as you tell a 'counter-racist' (bit of an oxymoron in regards to them) that you are a white person, they will instantly label you a racist suspect. In other words, if you're white, they think you're a racist, no middle ground. The logic behind this is that because of this [mythical!] system of White Supremacy, any white person is capable of practicing racism and is therefore a suspected racist.

No, how logical does that sound? Apart from the fact that it's blatant racism, it doesn't even make sense. Pretty much all the people in the world are capable of being rapists, should we treat them as if we think they're rapists? Worse, everyone over the age of 18 is capable of being a paedophile (which incidentally, has an 'a' in it, damn American spelling), should we treat them as if we think they are a paedophile? Obviously, merely having the ability to do something IS NOT enough to label them a suspect, but hey, since when do racists think logically?

My suggestion, next time you get called a "Racist suspect" or "Suspected Racist", answer with "To the suspected paedophile..." and walk them through their own logic.

The “Fuller Trap” part 2

Oh yeah, forgot a bit. The slogan of the Fuller gang is "Replace White Supremacy with Justice". Not the everyday, boring kind of Justice that you and me are familiar with though, oh no. According to them, "Justice" means guaranteeing that no person is mistreated and that the person who needs the most help gets the most help. All well and good, I'd have some of that.

Problem is, however, anyone with half an ounce of common sense knows damn well that isn't possible. Any criminal could bring the whole system down with as little effort as spitting on a granny and whoops, someone got mistreated. What are we meant to do, assign each and every person their own personal policeman to ensure they don't mistreat anyone? Oh shit, can't do that, having the law watching your every move is mistreatment in itself. Build a race of robot cops? Hmm I watched Battlestar Galactica yesterday, best to bin that idea I think. The relatively obvious point is that it is completely impossible for anybody to guarantee that nobody is mistreated, it just can't happen. Naturally however, that doesn't stop the Fuller gang from demanding that white people implement such a system or even from insisting that it would take them about five minutes to do so. Preposterous.

What I find even more galling is that they use this as a premise to actually practice racism; "Replaced White Supremacy [Which still doesn't exist by the way] with Justice yet? Ahh shoot, looks like I'll have to continue labelling you a racist for no other reason than being white". Irony at it's finest.

Stormfront.org

Stormfront.org is widely considered to be the most racist site on the net. Many people accuse the people frequenting it of showing more supremacist ideology than anywhere else, but does stormfront.org really deserve it's reputation?

Short answer? Yes, yes it does. The first complaint I have with stormfront.org is the insistence of many of it's posters that they are not "white supremacists" but are rather "white nationalists", meaning that they don't want to oppress anyone, they just want the "white race" to live seperatly from other races. What they generally don't mention, but is easily discernible from a few hours lurking, is that in order to acheive this aim, they're willing to use pretty much any means, up to and including killing, in order to make that happen. Sounds just like racism to me.

Another beef I have is the perpetuation that races are a biological reality. This is plain wrong. I could be convinced into believing that once, hundreds of thousands of years ago, there may really have been seperate races. However even that's only a maybe, and only then if you gather a world of evidence to support it. Fact is, race is a social construct, not reality.

Finally, the (in my opinion) ridiculous idea that if you do not follow their racist beliefs, that somehow makes you a racist??! I never quite understood that because halfway through the explanation I got fed up and left, but it didn't seem to be making sense anyway.Check out stormfront if you must, but fully expect to be inundated with people ordering you out of "their" country or threatening you with death. On the other hand, White Supremacists though most of them be, there are a good number of people there working to refute and counter the racism they spout. If nothing else, it's worth dropping by just to offer them your support.

How disgusting is this?

I actually sat and stared at my computer screen in disgust when I first read this post:

http://www.counter-racism.com/cgi-bin/work-study/viewtopic.php?t=918

Hey, all you non-white people can go and force as many women as you like to have sex with you, because according to the"counter-racists", it's only rape if a white person does it.

Not only does this bullshit completely trivialise a traumatic and really quite horrific occurence, providing the perpetrator (who in my opinion, should be killed for their crime) isn't white, it also further perpetuates and refines the "Fuller Trap". These people actually preach that only white people are capable of such hideous crimes, if anybody else does it, it's a white mans fault.

Still think the scumbags aren't racist?

The trap that Fullerites lay for White People

Browsing through the 'counter-racist' forums, it struck me pretty hard one day just how tight the trap they have laid for white people is. Let me elaborate:

First of all, this 'System of White Supremacy'; a global system in which all non-white people are mistreated at all times in every aspect of their lives by white people, plain does not exist. It's a lie. But by perpetuating the myth that it does, these 'counter-racists' (and I suggest you take that term with a pinch of salt) can pretty much absalve themselves of all blame for anything they have ever done. The Rwandan Genocide? White people. Rapes by black people? Yep, whitey again. Any war that ever happened, initiated by non-white people? Well it's not going to be their fault is it? They only started it, white people were the ones who made them do it. Obviously, this is bullshit, but they will refuse to take any responsibility for any transgression whatsoever. Pretty convenient isn't it, preaching an infallable moral superiority.

Secondly, any genuinely good willed white person who offers help to these 'counter-racists' instantly opens themselves up to attack. According to their ridiculous dogma, all white people know every intricate detail regarding the 'System of White Supremacy' and therefore any question a white person asks about it is an attempt to confuse non-white people, and is itself racist. Riiiight. Let's look at this logically. You insist white people owe you help, even though they don't, but when you manage to fool one into thinking that he does, you refuse to explain why you need help, and how he could help you, and even brand him a racist for daring to ask how he could help you. Anyone see where this is going? It's impossible for anyone to comprehend a system that doesn't even exist, so the resulting confusion on the part of the good-samaritan is simply marked as racism and the good-willer as a probable racist, meaning that the 'counter-racists' can claim they are still oppressed and continue to claim that white people owe them compensation for their mistreatment. To me, this shit is all the evidence I need that the Fuller cult is just a way of maintaining the "Victim mentality". Far from wanting the 'System of White Supremacy' to be abolished, they know full well it doesn't exist and are simply maintaining the myth that it does to milk the race card for all it is worth.

There's one easy way to get out of the trap they lay, and it also, very interestingly, easily explains all the things the 'counter-racists' claim to find confusing or evidence of their mythical system. Whenever you read their forums or talk to one of them, always keep at the forefront of your mind the fact that the 'System of White Supremacy' does not exist! Do that, and their traps become crystal clear.
