ANTI-MISCEGENATION LAWS AND RULES ADVOCATED BY KINISM ARE THE WRONG SOLUTION TO A REAL PROBLEM

 

By J. Parnell McCarter

 

 

I am writing this article because I have not been fully satisfied with the critiques of kinism that I have generally read and heard.  My dissatisfaction with most critiques I have read stems from their lack of acknowledgment of a real problem and threat that kinists are responding to, but that it seems to me most critics are failing fully to acknowledge.  So let me discuss the problem, why the kinist solution is misguided, and what is the proper solution.

 

The Biblical condition is for each ethnic nation to be covenanted to Jesus Christ and to serve Him according to the Biblical principles outlined in the original Westminster Standards.  There would be an absence of large empires and imperial nations, for each ethnic homeland nation would respect the sovereignty rights of other nations.  Each ethnic homeland nation would be dominated by the ethnicity of its nation, with its own language and culture. (Please see http://www.puritans.net/homelands/ for a further explanation.) Each nation could retain those aspects of its cultural heritage which were Biblical, but would discard those elements which were un-Biblical.  They would legitimately seek to preserve those aspects of their cultural heritage which are Biblical.  In order to do this, they would properly regulate and control immigration in such a way as that the preservation of their language and culture and its dominance in their nation are not threatened.  This would not mean prohibiting marriage with other ethnicities and people of other nations, but instead making sure that entrants in their nation were willing to assimilate to the dominant ethnic culture, and not coming in such numbers and so rapidly so as to overwhelm reasonable means of cultural preservation. Immigration under such circumstances would normally occur because of marriage or a similar reason in which the immigrant wanted to become part of the host nation and assimilate into its language and culture.  And immigration would generally not occur for economic reasons, such as providing cheap labor for the host country because people in the host country were not willing to perform menial labor or not disciplined enough to educate their own for the modern technological world.  It would also not occur because the population engaged in the wicked sins of abortion and artificial contraception, so looked to immigration as a solution for its declining demographics.

 

The very real problem arises when a people and nation is not run according to the principles outlined in the above paragraph.  When a people or nation has become a multi-cultural, multi-civilization nation, then people become threatened in very real ways.  For example, if someone who speaks English and is white lives in a neighborhood where everyone else used to be white and spoke English, but now has mostly become a neighborhood where everyone speaks another language and is not white, it is naturally very threatening.  They have become fish out of water, and that is a very real threat to anyone. It is even further compounded because groups like La Raza, before whom President Obama spoke the other day, can appear threatening to those that are not part of “The Race”.  And groups like MECHA, with organizations on many college campuses, has its "El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan" (The Spiritual Plan for Aztlan):  "In the spirit of a new people that is conscious not only of its proud historical heritage but also of the brutal gringo invasion of our territories, we, the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers of the northern land of Aztlan from whence came our forefathers, reclaiming the land of their birth and consecrating the determination of our people of the sun, declare that the call of our blood is our power, our responsibility, and our inevitable destiny. ... Aztlan belongs to those who plant the seeds, water the fields, and gather the crops and not to the foreign Europeans. ... We are a bronze people with a bronze culture. Before the world, before all of North America, before all our brothers in the bronze continent, we are a nation, we are a union of free pueblos, we are Aztlan. For La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada."  That closing two-sentence motto means: "For The Race everything. Outside The Race, nothing."

 

Anti-miscegenation laws and rules are an un-Biblical and misguided response to the very real problem a  multi-cultural, multi-civilization nation poses.  Historically anti-miscegenation laws have been developed and enacted as a means to protect and preserve ethnic cultures in multi-cultural, multi-civilization nations.  For example, they were enacted in earlier centuries in America to preserve the separate status of slaves imported from Africa and white non-slaves in the same nation.  But there never should have been a nation made up of a class of black slaves and a class of white non-slaves.  Anti-miscegenation laws and rules not only do not solve the underlying problem, they compound it.  It is an un-Biblical “solution” to an un-Biblical situation.  Not surprisingly, kinism is growing in popularity in various quarters in the USA in response to the fact that the USA is becoming a multi-cultural, multi-civilization nation, due to the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, waning white demographics, and other factors.  But just as in the past, it is a wrong and misguided response to an un-Biblical situation.  Generally speaking, people will marry within their same language, culture and ethnicity, and generally speaking that is the wise course of action.  But it is not immoral to marry someone of another ethnicity, provided that other person is of the same true religion. Of course, it means one of the two parties is willing to assimilate into the language and culture of the spouse, even as Ruth the Moabite, Rahab the Canaanite and Uriah the Hittite did.  Although not ethnically Hebrew, all three proved better Hebrews than many ethnic Hebrews.  Anti-miscegenation laws deter assimilation when assimilation needs to take place, and they do nothing to solve the problems inherent in trying to have a multi-cultural, multi-civilization imperial nation.

 

In order properly to address our current problems, we must first recognize how we as white Americans in the past and in the present have largely brought these problems on ourselves.  We have significantly apostatized from our reformed Protestant heritage in a gradual progressive process over the centuries.  We participated in the man-stealing, kidnapping, and unwarranted enslavement of Africans for purposes of filthy lucre. We engaged in imperial conquest across North America that improperly disrespected the sovereignty rights of American Indians and Mexico.  We have turned a blind eye as American businesses have hired illegal aliens from Mexico in order to get cheap foreign labor, instead of doing the manual labor ourselves.  We have killed our own through abortion and artificial contraception to satisfy our sexual lusts without the “burden” of children. 

 

In the light of these scandalous sins, there are some radical Mexicans who want to see us white, English-speaking Americans chased back to Europe, arguing that as the solution.  There is an irony in Spanish-speaking Mexicans with Spanish as well as Indian blood advocating this, for last I saw Spain is as much a part of Europe as England is.  And even many American Indians today have a significant amount of Caucasian blood in them, given the inter-marriage over the centuries. No, advocacy of one group leaving the continent is no solution at all, but a recipe for conflict and war.

 

The solution is to work our way to the Biblical condition.  It should certainly start with repentance from our religious apostasy and return to the reformed Protestant faith.  In the case of the USA, with respect to the focus of this article on the problem with multi-cultural, multi-civilization imperial nations, it will probably mean partitioning the USA into smaller pieces, giving full sovereignty rights to the various ethnic nations within it. For example, the Navaho Indians would be given their own separate national status, along with the Lakota people, etc.  Spanish-speaking Mexican Americans that do not want to assimilate into an English-speaking, predominantly Anglo culture should be given their own national territory within US borders (in recognition of the fact both that we conquered previous Mexican territory, and that we hired them as illegal aliens with general impunity to white employers).  We should give the right of secession of territory to American blacks that may want it in certain areas, as expressed by black nationalist leaders like Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan.  The proposed boundaries drawn up by such secessionist groups as MEChA and the League of the South do not take into proper account present demographic realities, and so would result in needless war and mayhem.  People in such groups should learn from the example of the Serbs in Kosovo, who should only have sought for the area under their domination to be part of Serbia, instead of the whole of Kosovo. And they should begin having dialogue with others outside their own ethnicity who also believe in the division of nations following principles of ethnic nationalism rather than imperialism.  The right of ethnic self-determination should extend to peoples who are not of the same religion, for even non-Christian peoples should be allowed self-governance and not subject to imperialism by another ethnicity.  But we should pray that each nation, tribe and tongue adopts reformed Christianity.

 

Scripture indicates that the future belongs to those who want to see established reformed Christianity for each nation, tribe and tongue.  So I would encourage kinists to abandon their current ideology and join me in the Reformation Party ( http://www.puritans.net/Reformation_Party/ ) and the Society for the Promotion of Christian Ethnic Homelands ( http://www.puritans.net/homelands/ ).
