I was actually surprised when I came across this. It got me to thinking about threads in this forum asking "why don't we have a WET," or "why
don't we have a White History Month?" Well, there IS a National Association for the Advancement of White People. Well, that's how it got started,
but the "W" was changed from "white" to "working" in 2005, apparently. Hey, don't ask me...
The NAAWP
Sounds like an oxymoron to me. Especially when you consider that the group is more focused on taking away from other groups than advancing their own.
Like their opposition to the sovereignty movement in Hawaii or to affirmative action. But, I guess you could say that attacking other groups CAN be
a means of advancing your own group...
The official slogan is "Equal Rights For All — Special Privileges For None." Hey, I can dig that. Let's see what the founder of the NAAWP,
David Duke, has to add...
“We Aryans are those of European descent who are racially conscious and who have committed our lives to our people’s survival and evolutionary
advancement. We shall do our duty. We shall not surrender our freedom and our very existence to Jewish or any other power. We shall preserve our
heritage and our hard-won rights and freedoms. We shall guide our people up the evolutionary stairway to the stars.”
—My Awakening, p. 469 (1998)
Well, he was doing pretty well for a minute. I'm no Aryan, but I can feel that. Not sure what happened with the Jewish thing, though...
Well, Mr. Duke, can you elaborate on the goal of the organization?
“Our clear goal must be the advancement of the white race and separation of the white and black races. This goal must include freeing of the
American media and government from subservient Jewish interests.”—“Klan Code of Conduct,” Duke Speaks Out, a column in the Crusader (newspaper
of the KKKK, then led by David Duke), November 1978
Hmm, that seems familiar, the separation thing. And again something about Jews. Ok...I'm getting a bit confused. What exactly do y'all want?
"What we really want to do is to be left alone. We don't want Negroes around. We don't need Negroes around. We're not asking –– you know, we
don't want to have them, you know, for our culture. We simply want our own country and our own society. That's in no way exploitive at all. We want
our own society, our own nation...." –-Duke interview with doctoral student Evelyn Rich, who traveled around the country with Duke while
conducting research for her dissertation on the KKK, March 1985
Uhhh...there are still Negroes?
Fair enough...why don't you want "Negroes" around?
“White people don't need a law against rape, but if you fill this room up with your normal black bucks, you would, because 'n-word's are basically
primitive animals.”—The Sun (Wichita, Kan.), April 23, 1975
Wow. That's quite a strong statement there, Duke. Any other reasons you preach separation?
"...Immigration along with nonwhite birthrates will make white people a minority totally vulnerable to the political, social, and economic will of
blacks, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and Orientals. A social upheaval is now beginning to occur that will be the funeral dirge of the America we love. I
shudder to contemplate the future under nonwhite occupation; rapes, murders, robberies multiplied a hundred fold, illiteracy such as in Haiti,
medicine such as in Mexico, and tyranny such as in Togoland." —NAAWP News, Issue no. 24, signed article by David Duke, April 1983
So, you don't want to be a minority? But you think everyone else likes minority status...strange. But, to be fair, you are far from alone in this
idea. But anyway, I want to come back to the Jews. You mentioned Jews a number of times already. Anything else on Jews?
"These Jews who run things, who are producing this mental illness –– teenage suicide...all these Jewish sicknesses...that's nothing new. The
Talmud's full of things like sex with boys and girls."
––Evelyn Rich interview, March 1985
I see...anything else?
"Did you ever notice how many survivors they have? Did you ever notice that? Everybody — every time you turn around, 15,000 survivors meet here;
400 survivors convention there. I mean, did you ever notice? Nazis sure were inefficient, weren't they? Boy, boy, boy!...You almost have no survivors
that ever say they saw a gas chamber or saw the workings of a gas chamber.... they'll say these preposterous stories that anybody can check out to be
a lie, an absolute lie."
––Evelyn Rich interview, March 1985
Alrighty then.
So, the NAAWP is about white separation from everyone else, which will advance the white race. And, blacks and Jews seem to be the biggest obstacles
to white advancement, from what I get from that.
So, there's the NAAWP in a nutshell. Maybe they can work to get a WET or a White History Month...
