Dave Rubin: Seeing America through Rose Colored Glasses

This National Anthem Moment Will Give You Shivers

Dave, the way you see leftist critics of white Americans or Americans generally in terms of the left’s declaring both as white supremacists is true but superficial. The New York Times writers are not simply criticizing a certain behavior—that of white supremacists. And by the way, what is the body count for white supremacists? Newsweek, hardly a conservative magazine, says, that “In the U.S., 64 victims were killed in 34 terrorist attacks by white supremacists and white nationalists between 2015 and 2019, the report [Global Terrorism Database] showed” (“White Supremacists Killed More Americans than Muslim Extremists in Recent Years, Terrorism Report Shows” online article). A Newsweek word game because killings by Muslim extremists are used for a false comparison.

Compare the above statistic with this: “In 2011, the latest data officially released by the Chicago Police, there were 433 homicides. Of these, just 128 (29%) had a corresponding prosecution” (“Chicago: 75% of Murdered Are Black, 71% of Murderers Are Black,” online article). And the 29% of the non-black murderers need not all be Anglos. There is a lot of gang activity between Hispanics and blacks in Chicago. And most likely, none were white supremacists. The point is this: killings by white supremacists is not a threat to American society. “19,000 people killed in shootings and firearm-related incidents in 2020. That’s the highest death toll in over 20 years,” (“2020 Ends as One of America's Most Violent Years in Decades,” Time online article). And the 8.5 killings per year by white supremacists are the big threat? I don’t think so. Nor does The New York Times. White supremacy is being used to further a Marxist revolution that leftist newspapers are serving as collaborators. It’s all a ploy to condemn conservative Americans as white supremacists and the big threat to the nation.

You need to look much deeper into what is going on in the country and at how ideology is at work to transform it into a multicultural paradise, one in which white Americans have become a minority. The new so-called Americans such as Kamala Harris (her parents have no roots in America history) have become the majority. In other words, the ideology is neo-Marxist and its seeking a revolution that will transform America into a minority-majority nation. At that point, there will be no America because the neo-Marxists don’t identify with America.

You offer a hockey game to illustrate that we will soon “turn the corner.” Right now there is no corner to turn. Take Long Island as an example 54.7% White, 20.5% Hispanic or Latino of any race, 20.4% Black, 12.3% Asian, 8.8% other races, 3.2%. And I bet 95% of the people at the game were from the 54%. You probably don’t remember this: “Arturo Sarukhan, head of the Mexican Consulate in New York City, said officials on Long Island must realize that the day laborers are here to stay.” (“Tensions reach boiling point,” Sun Journal, online.) What has prevented Long Island from being completely overrun by immigrants is its high cost of living. It is an affluent community similar to a gated community. The gate is the cost of living.

In other cities and even states traditional Americans are not so lucky. In California white Americans are now 39% of the population, blacks only 5.8%. The percentage of Asians and Hispanics is each greater than for blacks. In New Mexico there are more Hispanics than there are non-Hispanic whites: 39.5% (plus 6.74 non-white Hispanics) versus 36.9% non-Hispanic whites. Four more years of open border and those statistics will represent the nation’s demographics. In a Forbes article “Ranked: The World’s 10 Worst Cities To Live (3 Are In The US),” the three are New York City, L.A., and San Francisco. All three are Democratic cities. These cities were once the great meccas of America; now bloated with immigrants they’ve become unAmerican to white Americans who have become minorities in each city. Many whites leave those cities for cities and states that are culturally more American. Of course, black Americans (blacks having slave ancestors) are an ever shrinking minority. They have been pushed to 3rd place by Hispanics and will soon be in 4th place behind Asians according to Pew Research Center: Between 2000 and 2018 the Asian population grew by 81%, blacks by 20% and Hispanics by 70%. (“Asian Americans are the fastest-growing racial or ethnic group in the U.S.” online.) To U.S. immigration policies, black lives don’t matter all that much.

But there is a bigger picture to the left’s agenda. According to Pew Research Center, “The nation’s population will rise to 438 million in 2050, from 296 million in 2005, and fully 82% of the growth during this period will be due to immigrants arriving from 2005 to 2050 and their descendants.” How is approaching a half-billion people in the U.S. a good thing environmentally? More people, more environmental destruction, more waste, and more pollution. As a technological fix, the so-called Green New Deal will be temporary if the national and global populations continue to grow. But maybe the Green New Deal is simply a distracting ploy for the Democrats to look good while flooding the country with immigrants in order to achieve their Marxist revolution for America.

The Marxist agenda has been at work in the U.S. for a century. It has evolved, adapted, and changed, but remains Marxist, nonetheless. There are books aplenty that tell the story: The Social Basis of American Communism by Nathan Glazer, Marxism: the View from America by Clinton Rossiter, and Marxism in the United States by Paul Buhle. Like that of most Americans, Dave, your understanding of the problem is superficial.

The first thing American conservatives need to do is reject Trump as their savior. He has been a disaster for America and in reality represents the con-man, the flim-flam man, the snake-oil salesman, the narcissistic showman that American culture has always looked upon with suspicion. He lost the election thus his wall was left uncompleted. And now we have Biden and Harris running the country, representing immigrants rather than Americans. The proof is in pudding when comes to Trump. If conservatives don’t have the guts to reject such a phony as their leader, then they deserve to lose their country, which they most likely will. Trump was like a person who failed a first-aid class so believed he could perform brain surgery. Biden and Harris chose to euthanize the patient because they don’t like him. Dave, it’s time to stop smoking mystic weed and take the red pill. By the way, I tried to tell you all this on YouTube. But my comment was deleted by the censor.

P.S. I’m a white male who does not believe in white supremacy—neither in the moral or practical sense. I’m a big fan of the philosophies, literature, art, and science that whites have produced. But I believe it’s absurd that I should be proud just because I’m white. I know the harm white men have done in my country, America, almost from the beginning. I take no pride in presidents such as Eisenhower (great general not so great president, note Operation Ajax), Kennedy (womanizer), LBJ (deluded warmonger), Nixon (liar, subversive), Reagan (amnesty for illegal aliens, spendthrift), Clinton (hedonist, got a BJ in the White House), Bush Jr. (deluded warmonger), Trump (flimflam man and general blowhard), and now Biden (political mission: “No borders, no walls, no USA at all”). Because of poor, corrupt leadership by white men, the nation is now crumbling. And I certainly don’t take pride in Hitler who destroyed Europe or Stalin who destroyed Russian or Putin, warmonger, assassin, and dictator.

Yet, perhaps taking pride means mostly people wanting to live within their own ethic group. Asians have China Towns and Little Saigons, Hispanics have their barrios, blacks have their communities such as Kettering, Maryland, Jews have their enclaves such as Borough Park, New York, and Muslims have their enclaves like that of Dearborn, Michigan. "An ethnic enclave is a geographical area where a particular ethnic group is spatially clustered and socially and economically distinct from the majority group." It's understandable that people want to live in communities that share their values, religion, language, and culture and where they feel safe. When whites want the same, it's called racism.

Actually, the problems afflicting society that the left wants to blame on whites have more to do with masculinity than with color. Feminists have good reason to be concerned about unbridled masculinity, but they must understand that their movement will get nowhere without the help of men, whatever color. Hating men will not help their cause. I consider myself an existentialist or moderate Buddhist, liberated from all cultures, genders, and ideologies. My favorite cultures are the ancient Greeks and the Native Americans of yesteryear. One must depend on and defend one’s family and community in a society and world that is essentially Darwinian. The idea of God has done more harm than good by inspiring theologically-based hatred and violence. The Abrahamic religions are infamous for creating enemies where none existed before. And God is never around when needed. Stephen Crane gets it right in his short story “The Open Boat.” We have to rely on one another. The government is not on our side, only on the side of an ideology it seeks to realize and/or on the side of the wealthy and politically powerful. The sea represents not just nature but all the dangerous forces that threaten ordinary people—wage earners, repairmen, small business owners, farmers, doctors, nurses, firefighters, and cops. Because of power seeking, narcissistic, self-serving, deluded, or just plain stupid men, humans have been their own greatest enemies.
