Hot take: The reason the alt right in this thread has been making this just about race with black people and have been even suggesting trying to make inroads with the lef
Look dudes, it's what you guys don't get. You can make a snap judgment about someone based on their appearance and yes, their race. A person with dreadlocks probably isn't a card carrying member of the John Birch society. Most black people do like rap music and and have diets influenced from southern cooking. It's a useful and necessary heuristic to use, judging someone by their appearance. The problem is it's a useful rule of thumb, but it's not a universal law.
But you guys lump in every member of their race with... every member of their race. You could know a black guy that could be your near twin in terms of general beliefs, interests, etc, and yet you'd leave him out in the name of racial solidarity with some dumbfuck hick just because he's white? Or you're going to just keep around "the good white people" even though your potential black friend could be just as good as the rest? Hell, assume most black people are violent thugs if you want, however just because a trend may exist it does NOT mean that universally applies to all of them. If you're willing to throw out other white people for not being good enough, why are you excluding black people who are good enough?
Race is a general indicator of culture, but it is not ABSOLUTE. That's the problem the alt right has, they think race is genetic destiny. Genetics doesn't work that. Any population will have plenty of variation and there are plenty of black people who do not have the dispositions and flaws you associate with black people. You say blacks and whites can't get along because of X, Y, and Z differences--maybe that's true, but then again not every member of a race is going to have any or all of those characteristics.
I've thought about making a discussion post on the Farms about this. The race issue resembles in some ways the Species problem in biology; when does one species end and another begin? Of course, species is a useful concept even if no single definition of "species" applies to all cases of what we agree to be speciation, and it is for this reason why the left is so wrong when they argue race doesn't exist. The left claims they don't believe in race because it's, like, just a construct, man, yet people can recognize race because people within a race share a Wittgensteinian "family resemblance," just like members of a species do. However, even if for the sake of assumption we assume blacks in general are violent, stupid, and impulsive, that will simply not be true of all blacks and there will be blacks that identify more (behaviorally) with what you identify with whiteness, even if they have all the black physical characteristics. Why would you reject them? If they behave like whites, if they believe like what you think whites believe, hell, if they don't even like other black people, why would you still insist that other "black people" are "their people?" You're obsessed with grouping and delineating people purely by physical, visual characteristics and go on about values and dispositions while ignoring the fact that other groups may very well have individuals that match exactly those values and dispositions you go on about, even if they have differing physical appearances GENERALLY ASSOCIATED with competing behaviors/dispositions/whatever.
I don't give much of a shit about race in and of itself. I'd rather hang out and chat with all the nigger Kiwis on here on this site than your random white redditor. Race might tell me what a person might be like, but you also have to get to know them to see what they are actually like. I don't get along with most black people because they have a certain culture about them which is very different from mine, but I also know black people that have been more loyal to me than all almost all of the white people I've known, why would I value a white ethnostate that excludes those people in favor of people who give only half a shit?
Why are you so obese with "Whiteness" and not merely the general culture of the Western world, loosely stemming from the Ancient Greeks onward to today, which is what caused humanity to blossom? It wasn't a lack of melanin in our skin which made the world great, it was our philosophy and technology and ideas.
