Liberalism: there is consistency, if you know where to look…

Suggesting Slavs are, as an, um, ‘socially constructed’ group, are racist. Isn’t that, oh dash it, social constructivist bigotry?

The real crisis is our failure to adjust to change in our society and our failure to find a civilized way of talking about our diversity.

“Ours” does not include smooth-moving Trevor.  He is not ours.  He is Africa’s.  We cannot “talk about” what does not belong to us but to Africa as “ours”, let alone within the appallingly unintellectual, utterly dishonest context of “our diversity”.

And what a ridiculous word that is.  Why would any Englishman wish to lay claim to ownership of the Smooth Dude and his many friends when they are all utterly diverse from us?  Diversity is a cause for rejection, not gullible acceptance.  Sorry Trev, but it was ever thus and ever more will be so.

I don’t know how the John Shaft of racial equality will survive the fall of his pixie-faced protector and friend to all moderate Iraqis.  Cameron must be dreading the lunch invite.

Trevor Phillips probably has nothing to worry about. In Canada those conservative Catholic anti-communist Poles who hated the evil Soviet Empire ended up being loyal supporters and activists for the leftist, occasionally commie-sympathising Liberal Party.  I guess sticking it to the Anglo-Canadian majority was more important than Pope John Paul’s sermons and Soviet imperialism.

I’ve been reading about tensions between Poles (always described as “hard-working”) and Brits in Scotland and parts of England and have heard from a contact in Northern Ireland about fights between Protestants and Poles in several cities. The Poles just need a little direction from Phillips and the other minority rights hustlers and before you know it they will join the anti-majority rainbow coalition.

Celebratory cartwheels, rather than complaints, should be the British response to Polish immigration. Poles are White, they’re non-Muslim, they’re productive, and they don’t hate you. Their arrival is good news.

From Daniel Pipes’ mail-list:

A Clash of Civilizations on Europe’s Mean Streets

Christopher Dickey writes in Newsweek International about the “increasingly internecine brand of ethnic warfare” taking place at the bottom of Europe’s social order. I excerpt the sections particularly pertinent to Muslims. The battle

pits group against group, race against race, in a competition for economic survival featuring Chinese against North Africans, South Asian Muslims against white or fair-skinned Christians from Eastern Europe and Latin America. Their struggle risks becoming a real clash of civilizations in the mean streets of immigrant Europe. Already it’s a clash of underclasses and underworlds, mosques and churches, extended families, tribes, triads, mafias and traffickers.

The United Kingdom hosts an especially raging battleground, being one of only three European Union member states to permit citizens of the ten mostly East European member states that joined in 2004 to seek work. Already in 2004, unemployment among Britain’s Muslim population was three times the national average.

Then came the staggering influx of Eastern Europeans. Last week, the British government announced that some 600,000, most of them Poles, had come to work in the United Kingdom over the past two years. According to John Salt, director of migration research at University College London, this is the single largest wave of immigration in British history. Government numbers show that 97 percent of those East Europeans found jobs.

Certainly, not all of them took work away from someone else—but many did. Indeed, the impact of the new immigrant invasion can be seen on the streets in Muslim neighborhoods across the United Kingdom. A British Muslim of Arab descent who runs a car wash in Hammersmith, in West London, tells a variation on an increasingly common story. He hires Poles and other newcomers, he freely confesses, because “they work hard and they stick around.” But “Kam” refuses to give his full name because he fears the anger welling up in the competing communities. “A white Polish person has a better chance than a dark-skinned Muslim at landing a job,” he says. “The Eastern Europeans are 100 percent threatening for Muslims. Being Muslim means it’s harder to get work. If your name is Mohammad and you speak English, or Richard and you don’t, employers will pick Richard.”

Comment: The experiment of Muslims moving to Europe is souring in ways no one could even imagine decades ago. (September 11, 2006)

Why must they celebrate any foreign immigration swamping them and threatening to change or replace their race?  Yes, I said their race.  Poles and Brits are not the same race.  A Pole is different and when I go to Britain I don’t expect or want to see Poles in place of Brits any more than I expect or want to see Negroes, Chinamen, or Subcons in place of them, or any more than I expect or want to see Brits when I go to Peking, Karachi, or Warsaw.  I want to see Brits in Britain if no one minds, thank you, the real deal, the real McCoy.  No substitutes if you please.  Do British men and women have the ability to make babies?  Why won’t their government stop thwarting that?  Why won’t it confiscate less of their money in taxes so they can plan on starting a family and why won’t it stop its tax-payer-funded subsidizing of lesbian-oriented, anti-men, anti-natalist women’s lib propaganda that teaches girls to loathe men, modesty, morality, and the idea of marriage and abhor the getting of husbands and the having of babies, and brainwashes them to believe that if ever the worst comes to pass and they do have babies it must be with a Negro not a white man and they must above all else not be married when the baby comes because marriage will be the ruination of them and of all their and their baby’s chances for happiness?  Why doesn’t government stop pushing exactly that propaganda on British girls and boys ceaselessly, 24/7?  Why doesn’t it?  Let it stop that and then let’s see how well or ill British lads and lasses can reproduce themselves shall we?  Yes British ones, as the word “British” was understood in 1950.  Not Polish ones or anything else thank you very much indeed I’m sure.

The most effective thwarting of British baby-making is through the imposition of excessive incompatible immigration on Britain:  why won’t they stop that?  Let’s stop some of these other things first, then let’s see about celebrating massive volumes of Polish immigration or not, shall we?

Of course they are.

You have some good ideas for increasing the native British birthrate. But while we wait for the Labor party to implement them, we can also celebrate the arrival of East European Whites in browning Britain.
