Tucker Carlson says white supremacy is a “hoax.” He essentially thinks that white supremacy is synonymous with Nazis, who would have trouble filling a phone booth in this country, so where’s the problem?
If you deconstruct it, here is his line of thought:
- America is a white country, settled by white Europeans, with a white culture.
- People who are not of white European stock cannot possibly assimilate here.
- We white people have an obligation to protect our culture.
- Therefore, keeping non-white people out is just a matter of self-preservation.
It’s about culture, not biology; we have no problem with non-white people, just as long as they don’t mix with us and mongrel up our way of life. Therefore, we aren’t white supremacists.
The problem, of course, is that #1 is only partially true, #2 is not true at all, and #3 and #4 must fall for being based on bogus premises. And Carlson and his reactionary ilk, with their fixation on protecting white European culture, are actually white supremacists, whether they acknowledge it or not.
