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 third world immigration, integration, miscegenation, low fertility rates and abortion is being promoted in predominantly white countries to deliberately turn them minority-white and hence cause white people to go 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]

Contributing factors

Racial integration and miscegenation

In his White Genocide Manifesto, David Lane makes the claim that the government policies of many western countries have the intent of destroying white European culture and making White people an "extinct species":[10]

Beliefs about the causes

While opinions may vary on the underlying causes and origins of the phenomenon, Jewish influence, people who hate whites,[11] and liberal political forces are commonly cited by white supremacists as being the main factors leading to a white genocide.[2][12][13][14] This view is held by prominent figures such as David Duke, who cites Jews and "liberal political ideals" as the main cause.[15][16] High profile white nationalist, Robert Whitaker, has employed the term 'anti-White' to describe those he believes are responsible, and he has singled out Jews as a contributing force.[17][18][19]

David Lane, of the organization The Order, which existed from 1984–85, wrote about this conspiracy theory in his White Genocide Manifesto, in an account critiquing race-mixing, abortion, homosexuality, the legal repercussions against those who "resist genocide" and also the "Zionist Occupation Government" that controls the U.S. and the other majority-white countries that encourage "white genocide". It is rooted in "doctrines of universalism both secular and religious" according to Lane, and may have been a factor which led to the murder of anti-Nazi Jewish talk-show commentor Alan Berg in 1985 who regularly taunted racists on his show.[10]

However, the view that Jews are responsible for white genocide is contested by other white supremacist figures, such as Jared Taylor.[20]

Discourse

The manifesto of far-right terrorist Anders Breivik entitled 2083: A European Declaration of Independence makes frequent mention of an alleged ongoing genocide against white Europeans.[10]

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.[10]

The notion of racial purity, homogeneity, or "racial hygiene" is an underlying theme among the white genocide discourse and has been used within those of a neo-Nazi and white supremacist background.[11][21]

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 disagrees 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 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.
