White genocide conspiracy theory

This article is about the white nationalist conspiracy theory. For the article about the Armenian term, see White Genocide.

White genocide is a white nationalist conspiracy theory that mass immigration, integration, miscegenation, low fertility rates and abortion are being promoted in predominantly white countries to deliberately turn them minority-white and hence cause white people to become extinct through forced assimilation.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] The phrase "Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white", coined by high-profile white nationalist Robert Whitaker, is commonly associated with the topic of white genocide.[8][9] It has been spotted on billboards near Birmingham, Alabama[10] and in Harrison, Arkansas.[11]

Beliefs about the causes

In his White Genocide Manifesto, white supremacist David Lane made the claim that the government policies of many western countries had the intent of destroying white European culture and making White people an "extinct species".[12] Lane, a founding member of the organization The Order, criticized race-mixing, abortion, homosexuality, the legal repercussions against those who "resist genocide" and also the "Zionist Occupation Government" that he said controls the U.S. and the other majority-white countries and encourages "white genocide". It is rooted in "doctrines of universalism both secular and religious" according to Lane, and it may have been a factor that led to the murder of anti-Nazi Jewish talk-show commentator Alan Berg in 1984. Prior to his murder, Berg regularly taunted racists on his show .[12]

While opinions may vary on the underlying causes and origins of the phenomenon, Jewish influence, people who hate whites,[13] and liberal political forces are commonly cited by white supremacists as being the main factors leading to a white genocide.[2][14][15][16] This view is held by prominent figures such as David Duke, who cites Jews and "liberal political ideals" as the main cause.[17][18] White nationalist Robert Whitaker, who coined the phrase "anti-racist is a code word for anti-white", uses "anti-White" to describe those whom he believes are responsible for the genocide of white people, and he has singled out Jews as a contributing force.[19][20][21]

However, the view that Jews are responsible for a white genocide is contested by other white supremacist figures, such as Jared Taylor.[22]

Discourse

The manifesto of far-right terrorist Anders Behring Breivik entitled 2083: A European Declaration of Independence makes frequent mention of an alleged ongoing genocide against white Europeans.[12]

Discussion threads on the white nationalist internet forum Stormfront often center around the theme of white people being subjected to genocidal policies by their governments.[12]

The notion of racial purity, homogeneity, or "racial hygiene" is an underlying theme of the white genocide discourse and it has been used by people with a neo-Nazi and white supremacist background.[13][23]

Unlike many other white supremacists, Taylor is not anti-Semitic, and in fact encourages Jews to join his fight...however many within the white supremacist/anti-immigration movement disagree with Taylor, most notably David Duke, and he has been under tremendous pressure to break ties with the Jewish community. Taylor, at least for now, has refused to submit to this pressure and continues to work with Jews to further his platform.

Race categories are organized hierarchically to reflect differences that are inherent in the essence of these categories. These differences justify and underlie the hostility that is expressed toward inferior groups. This hostility further fuels the drive for racial purity. "Race-mixing" is treated as genocide and is understood to be the goal of all non-whites.
