Dean Malik's American Exceptionalism and Charles Bloch's White Nationalism FAIL

This article dismantles both sides in the debate between Charles Bloch’s defense of White Nationalism and Dean Malik’s fight for American Exceptionalism.  Both these views vie for control of the political Right.  Neither will help recapture America from leftists, globalists, and multiculturalists.  To accomplish our goals we must embrace culturism and culturist thought instead.

Western Nationalists and American Exceptionalist both fail from a lack of vocabulary and imagination.  And politically, both destroy us.  If the Right accepts universal principles such as the American Exceptionalism that Malik argues for, we cannot discuss border control without being called racist. Advocating the importance of culture means the right can avoid the left-leaning contortions Malik wishes to engage us in.And, Bloch’s White Nationalism is racist.  In a multi-racial society like ours, such a view is not only a dead end politically and socially, it is dangerous.  

Protestant European culture (not skin color) made this nation great.  This was and should be the basis of our assimilation policies. Herein, this view of culturism is the opposite of multiculturalism. We have a culture. 

Culturism explains our history better than either Malik or Bloch do.  The White Nationalists make the Founders retarded racists.  As Malik notes, this plays into Black and Mexican Nationalists' hands.  But, Malik's claim that the Founders were into universal principles leaves us with no argument against open borders.  The Founders and the authors of the 1924 Immigration Act (which banned Jews and Italians) understood culture's importance.  They did not exclude Jews and Italians and non-whites due to color.  They understood the importance of both culture and cultural unity.  They were culturists.  

Islam nor China like our western principles of rights, democracy, relative separation of church and state, and freedom of speech.  These are not universal values. Culturism recognizes that these are Western values and so wishes to protect them.  Bloch calls all who side with Western nations racists.  But, this is not an irrational love of the color white.  Such solidarity comes from the understanding that Western nations share our particular and fragile values. 

The terms culturism and culturist can spread.  They can do a lot to diffuse the monopoly that multiculturalists have on our campuses.  They explain the historical debates as to the nature of our national founding and history better than the terms racist or Exceptionalist.  They can allow us to put multiculturalists and open border globalists on the defense with their own rhetoric.  Certainly those on the left must admit that culture is real and important.  Then, as sure as culturism denotes culture, they cannot call all such considerations racist any longer.  

Globalists, Multiculturalists, and American Exceptionalists (like Malik) call all who note the importance of culture and diversity 'racist.'  This shows a lack of imagination and empirical grounding.  White Nationalists, seeing race as the only significant factor in the world, ignore the degeneration of our culture amongst whites. Worse yet, in a racially diverse society, they eschew the possibility of assimilation.  Thus they leave us with no viable options beyond mutterings of ethnic cleansing and seceding.  The Right cannot be the right and adopt either American Exceptionalist thought or racist thought.  We must challenge multiculturalism with the vision of unity that is culturism.  We must fight for immigration laws that are culturist.
