I wanted to mention to you that I am just now listening to Duke's "My Awakening"... Honestly, I'd never read it, nor paid any real attention to him until recently...
I've noticed that he talks in a kindred way in some places.. Thus, I hasten to add that I was thinking in terms of ecology, and not altogether originally either - except as it applied to race - years before My Awakening's publication...Though, for focusing on Individualism vs Class, as enjoined by the constitution, as a central problem as applied to race, I will take some credit, as much as applying pervasive ecology to race. In fact, I sent out White Women For Sale! all over the place, probably to Duke's organization, (recommended some ideas as well, such as applying ecology) the Louisiana, Mississippi areas and Aryan Nations areas up around Idaho and so on, in the early 90's..
..listeners may be assured they are not getting mere hand me down stuff.There are enough other original ideas; for that, and the opportunity to put it together, I am grateful to have been granted an opportunity to speak.
So, if there is any question of whom was copying from whom, the reverse would be more likely... not that I am making that allegation nor is it really important... I am not saying he was copying me or could not have arrived at similar conclusions about some things, only want to assure that I have not copied him, at all.Though I do wonder if my early use of the term, "Mulatto Supremacism" wasn't influential to what he suggests is the great term, "Jewish Supremacism"...
For academics, Jewish Supremacism would sound terminologically unskilled - one would think the term might be, Judeo-Supremacism - though that would have draw backs as well, a bit too respectful in sound; so, I can forgive the use of Jewish Supremacism, though it still sounds funny and thus, I would not use it, despite his boasts about the wonderfulness of the term.- I think Jewish elitists, Jew elitists, or Kike elites would be more effective. Mulatto Supremacism is a very good term, however - and should be effective.
More, he still doesn't get social constructionism. If he were to say, "they want to say race is a mere social construct" it would much better than chiding, "they want to say race is a social construct".Social Constructionism is realist, not idealist.
Race is a social construct. In fact, everything is. Nothing is ever apart from interaction and how facts count must be negotiated between people. This notion, while weakening the traditional, scientific warrants of race, can and should be used to augment and strengthen them, ultimately.Be that as it may, as usual, you are spot on to say that we must move back to individualism at this point - I found that out the hard way. And when you mention that it doesn't matter if the nigger is a doctor or a genius - Right ON!
Incidentally, I was posting White Women For Sale! during a time when Farrakhan made an appearance (an appearance for which he was said to have been paid $10.000) at the university where I was studying...Shortly after, Morris Dees came to campus, and I attended his lecture already long disposed to view him as an enemy.
At the time I viewed him as a dumb, bible thumping Southerner (that would be a terrible insult to Southerners, sorry about that).. I was still focused on the Black problem... suspicious, at the time that some people, especially women, might use anti-Jew sentiments as a diversion from the Black issue..I got thrown off that campus for a year, three different times... it was only part of how I tried, in so many ways to fight, while still in the US... before I finally had to leave in the late 90's to save myself from what began with Duke style elitism, his condescending refusal to distance himself from those who would insist upon maintaining Christianity to what seemed to be a belated embracing of all ethno-Europeans, including those not from the north-West.
Though I have not written him, and will not, suspecting him to be self aggrandizing.. ("that thought takes me back, a little boy of 14, in his room, reading into the late hours of the night" ha! ha! ha!) ..still, for me, there may not be a necessary big conflict with him... some putting on of a happy face and promulgating race consciousness and free speech is probably good, so long as more radical thinkers are aware that Christianity, the working notion of rights and other right wing foibles that come with him will likely be counterproductive in the long run.I continue to be impressed by your work - many thanks...
