A Letter: Miscegenation

A Letter: Miscegenation

Thomas Allen

[Editor’s note: The following is a letter written in 1996 responding to Mr. William Jasper about an article that he wrote, which was published in The New American, a magazine associated with the John Birch Society.]

    I must take issue with Mr. William Jasper ridiculing the very thought that miscegenation is genocide in “Phoney Trail to Oklahoma City.”
    Based on his attitude toward race or about the races of man, a person can be placed in one of several classes. Some know that the races are different, but the differences do not necessarily make one race innately superior to another in all things. Some are racists, who believe that one race, usually their own, is innately superior to others in most, if not all, things. Then there are the egalitarians, who believe that the races are equal and therefore identical, i.e., there is no perceptible difference between the races. Next are those who pride themselves for not noticing a person's race and those who claim that races do not exist. Finally, there are the integrationists, who believe that the highest form of man is amalgamated mongrel man. The following analogy and example should clarify these five positions on race.
    Eggs and feces both come from a chicken’s vent. Those who claim that the races are different, but that one is not necessarily superior to another, claim that eggs are superior human food and feces are superior plant food. The racists claim that eggs are superior; unless they are allergic to eggs and enjoy growing vegetables, then they claim that feces are superior. The egalitarians claim that no differences exist between eggs and feces and that feces are as good for human consumption as eggs are. Those who pride themselves for not noticing race and those who claim that no races exist do not know what they are eating. The integrationists claim that scrambling the eggs and feces together obtains the best dish.
    Apparently, Jasper believes that the best dish is eggs scrambled with feces, or else he cannot tell the difference.
    [Here is another analogy. Herefords and Jerseys are two different races of cattle. Those who claim that races are different but that one is not necessarily superior claim that Herefords are superior meat producers and that Jerseys are superior milk producers. Racists who prefer beef to dairy products claim that Herefords are superior. However, racists who prefer dairy products to beef claim that Jerseys are superior. Egalitarians claim that Jerseys are as good meat producers as Herefords and that Herefords are as good milk producers as Jerseys. Those who pride themselves for not noticing race and those who claim that there are no races would probably go broke in the dairy or beef business, for they would never know what kinds of cattle were in their herds. Integrationists claim that if Herefords and Jerseys were interbred, the results would be cattle that are superior to Herefords in meat production and superior to Jerseys in milk production.]
    Genocide is the systematic destruction of a race of people. Miscegenation, if carried to its conclusion, results in the destruction of at least one, often both, of the races that are intermarrying. Thus, miscegenation is genocide.
    To illustrate this point, consider an island with 50 men and 50 women of race A and 50 men and 50 women of race B. The 50 men of race A kill the 50 men and 50 women of race B. What is the result? Genocide. Race B has ceased to exist.
    Again, the 50 men of race A kill the 50 men of race B. They then rape the 50 women of race B, who then have hybrid offspring of mixed race AB. Or the 50 women of race B voluntarily become the wives of the men of race A and have children by them. The result is still the same; they have hybrid offspring of mixed race AB. Finally, if the men of race A have no sexual relationship with the women of race B, the women of race B have no children. What is the result of all three of these scenarios? Genocide. Race B ceases to exist when the last woman of race B dies.
    You may say (but then again, you may not) that these are obvious incidents of genocide because violence and murder are involved. However, what you fail to realize is that genocide can occur without violence and can even be voluntary.
    Return to the example island. The 50 men of race A lust (or desire or whatever verb you want to use) after the 50 women of race B and marry them while the 50 men of race B lust after the 50 women of race A and marry them. No violence or force is involved. Each man and woman freely and voluntarily chooses his mate. The offspring of these mixed marriages are of mixed race AB. When the last man and woman of race A or race B dies, that race ceases to exist. What is the result? Genocide. Both races have ceased to exist.
    Genocide can just as likely be voluntary as it can be involuntary. Genocide can be murder when one race deliberately kills another. Genocide can be suicide when one race deliberately kills itself by breeding itself out of existence. The only real difference between genocide by murder and genocide by miscegenation is that genocide by miscegenation usually takes longer. In both cases, the results are the same. The race has ceased to exist. Thus, miscegenation is genocide.
    Breeding the races out of existence is the liberal and neo-conservative solution to the race problem. It also appears to be Jasper’s solution. I find it repugnant and unscriptural.
    People who care so little for any race that they have no objection to breeding it out of existence must be filled with hate. I have no other explanation of why anyone would not object to breeding his own race and the other races involved out of existence. Anyone who loves his own race and those of his fellow man must adamantly oppose miscegenation.
    If this magazine’s position on miscegenation is that of Jasper, and I assume that it is since he is a senior editor, then let us have no more complaints about third world immigrants, legal or illegal. If the White race is not worth saving, then certainly Western Civilization, a culture built by and for the White race, is not worth saving. There is no need to object to races with alien cultures coming to this country and supplanting the culture brought here by Europeans. There is no need to object to other races coming to this country to breed the White race out of existence.
    In comparison with the National Alliance, The New American is more correct on economic matters and most political issues. However, on racial issues, the National Alliance is far ahead of The New American. Jasper criticizes the National Alliance leadership of being kinsmen of Marx on political-economic issues. From what I know about neo-Nazi groups, I agree with him. However, on race Jasper, not the National Alliance, is the Marxist.
