Subsequent to the colonial era- white americans were swept up in the success of their new great nation. as such a true sense of Americanism was the answer to the White population- oddly enough this was also the answer and slogan for the initial stages of the Klu Klux kaln (their original slogan 100% Americanism).

Under the auspices of the American system it was easy to see that there was very little underlying culture with the exception of a perpetual struggle at maintaining the new world and the defensive stance it had to assume against would be invaders. The only culture available was too closely tied to foreign influences and was summarily misrepresented or secretted away.

A population that previously had very real ties to actual cultures and ethnicities abandonned those determinations- they settled together and allowed bits and pieces to be consumed into the mass community.

To embloden that which the American system thought would be positive examples of White culture they made shit up. Propanganda depicting people of culture as savages- from Birth of a Nation to Bugs Bunny cartoons- this was only the start. Then developping media that portrayed a completely fabricated fascimile of human and family life- White life.

Westerns- lies; most "cowboys" where Black and Mexican- this was pruported to show that White culture had its roots in the heroic taming of the west - bullshit.

Gladiator films- depicting that the history of Whites (Romans- but not necessarily Italians na'mean?) was in the heroic conquest of civil policy and sport- bullshit that is the stolen legacy of Italian peoples- not White people. These films even propogated that Egyptians were white- do I even need to get into this?

family values- media depicting the "nuclear" White American family- sickeningly perfect in their portrayal. This lie went on for many years- it wasnt that people believed it so much as they accepted that this is how life should be. Bullshit- the reasonable people lived their lives outside of such depictions and managed to keep their cultural reality very much intact- at least tehir cultural history (Of them were Blacks and colored people who were summarily cast out of this dangerous game- perhaps thanks are in order). Those among the whites that bought into this imagery set themselves up to perpetuate a lifestyle that was never meant to be- and was never substantiated by real life experience.

White America continues to have an inferiority complex in regards to ethnicity and culture because that is a major premise that propogates the existence of race classification. Ethnic peoples are still afterthoughts in civil and social policy not because Whites are necessarily evil but because we still observe the policies that determined very early on that this was the propper way of managing human development. Those policies have not changed- its hard enough to get people to admit what they actually mean.

The Preservation of Favored races in the Struggle for Life.
