Christian religion and Greek philosophy, filtered through Roman law and culture, are the foundation of European culture.

Who built that culture?

Europeans.

Who works to protect that culture?

Europeans.

Do you know what happens when one identity group only refuses to stand up for its interests under its identity group banner?

It loses.

What does that mean?

Western Civilization devolving into the Middle East.

Now what am I going to do with the Tiki Torches we set up in the back yard?

Use them to achieve a nice ambience when having barbecues and get-togethers—which is their intended purpose, if I'm not mistaken...

Doing so just lands you in the trap the cultural Marxists have set

What are you talking about? The Marxist rule the day because whites won't stand up for themselves.

Now I see that ambience and ambiance are synonyms?

Where's humblegunner when you need him?

I never said we shouldn’t stand up for ourselves. I’m just saying we shouldn’t play the identity politics game.

The Nazi’s were not white supremacists, they were germanic supremacists. Hitler planned to genocide the white Polish People. Even began the process by destroying all Polish ancestry records.

You and the whole article are WRONG!

The "culture" of USA, from its inception, has been based on white European "CULTURE" and though it became more "inclusive", when he came to food ( though not really, until the late 20th century ), it always DID include bits and pieces of its own developing "culture".

Except for the mid-late 20th century dribbles of native African LEGAL immigrants, there are NO "African-Americans" here and the ONLY "AFRICAN CULTURE" that American blacks have EVER introduced to this once Melting Pot of a nation, is RAP....and that from the criminal elements of the lowest of the low ghetto strata! It comes from "DOIN' THE DOZENS"; a verbal "war of words" that is just hurling insults, especially degrading ones mother, at each other.

I shan't bog down this thread with the large book length post about "white culture", that I am more than able to write, but yes...there IS a "white culture" and until very recently, there was an "AMERICAN CULTURE", which though embraced by all races and ethnicities, WAS, absolutely, based on white "culture"!

I'll leave you with just one example....

Once upon a time, everyone loved Looney Tunes and enjoyed them, when going to the movies. And ALL of them were based on WHITE CULTURE and not just "AMERICAN CULTURE", but white EUROPEAN "culture"!

Once again, you misunderstand the article and my words entirely. I never claimed there was no dominant white culture in America. What the article is saying is that Western Civilization (whether you call it “white” culture or whatever) does not owe its existence to notions of white supremacy, which from what I can gather is not what you’re arguing anyway. So I really don’t see what we’re in disagreement about.

Oh no I don't, but you do and neither do you understand just WHAT I have posted. Bless your heart......

Oh soooooooooooo now you are claiming that the article and you, as well, claim that European CULTURE has parts of it that encompass Asian and black African cultures? REALLY? LOL

Then WHY did the vast majority of European nations ( including all of the people oh the British Isles that now make up the UK ) throw out and/or MURDER the teensy amount of Jews, living within their borders, starting in the fifth century A.D. ? And at that time, as well as later, Jews were NOT considered to be WHITE; nor was it ONLY that they weren't CHRISTIANS, that they were thrown out of those nations.

Though the bigger push, to get rid of Jews, began and continued through what we call THE DARK AGES,though it didn't really hit Spain until a few centuries later.

And the article is also EXTREMELY incorrect re non-white "civilizations" and obviously knows very little to nothing at all about the great civilizations of China and to a somewhat lesser extent, India and Japan! And then there were the Ancient Egyptian Civilization as well as the even older ones in Mesopotamia.

OTOH...if you want to talk about the religious aspect of "civilizations", that's a whole other/different story.

““Dear Media: Go to an Antifa rally and tell them you support Jews and Israel. Let’s see who, as Romney said, is in a ‘different moral universe’ than the Nazis. The Nazis are fringe. The anti-Jewish left is basically every campus in America. It’s not 100 semi-employed Nazi losers. It’s tens of thousands of professors getting money from gov’t subsidized student loans.

So media, your claims of moral superiority are bullshit. You are the ones promoting violence, hatred, and bigotry. You are the ones who fail to condemn violence. You are the ones that don’t rush to smear every Democrat with the crime of fostering violence when Bernie supporters shoot people, create riots and beat people in the streets.”

We know that every action creates a reaction. The whole idea of this statue bashing is to change the status of the statues from collectors of pigeon droppings that no Southern white seriously cares much about to a supposed symbol of white racism that all whites harbor. They get the desired reaction from the decreasing number of actual white racists on the fringes of society.

This might go down peacefully, but the leftist fringe brings their own battle weapons to the protests, seeking to incite the other side. It’s amazing to see all the politicians and media taking the side of avowed fanatical violent anarchists because they see only the other side as blameworthy for the confrontation.

Frankly, I detest both sides because I reject their messages. Is the great middle ground of American citizens going to let itself to be divided by these fringe morons and the major media which gives them more attention than they deserve.?
