Francis’s Solution to the Race Problem
Thomas Allen
In “Prospects for Racial and Cultural Survival,” American Renaissance, March 1995, Samuel Francis presents his proposal for the survival of the White race in the United States. He rejects the “restoration of white supremacy in the political and legal sense that obtained under slavery or segregation.” Nonwhites residing in the United States should have equality of legal rights. However, Whites should be supreme in a cultural sense.
Francis identifies three things that Whites must do to regain their country and culture. First, “Whites must formulate a white racial consciousness that identifies racial and biological endowments as important and relevant to social behavior, and their own racial endowments as essential to the continuing existence of Euro-American civilization.” This formulation does not exclude other ethnic, religious, regional, or other identities, or require individuals to “yield to the collective category of race.” It means recognizing racial realities and racial-biological endowments necessary for certain kinds of human behaviors. That is, Whites possess innate political and civil characteristics necessary to make Europe and America economically and socially successful, and connate intellectual characteristics necessary for science and scholarship. Other races lack these characteristics.
Francis writes, “Racial consciousness means that we add recognition of biological and racial factors to our traditional concepts of human nature and modify both our biological and non-biological conceptions of what man is, as evidence and reason dictate. . . . But the formation of white racial consciousness does mean that whites would recognize themselves as a race and their racially based behavior as legitimate, and hence it would mean the end of tolerance for nonwhite assaults on white people and the norms of white civilization.” Thus, the norms of American society before the Civil Rights Era would be the legitimate and dominant norms. Racial guilt would end.
Second, “whites must counter the demographic threat they face from immigration and nonwhite fertility and whites’ own infertility.” Consequently, nonwhite legal immigration must be halted, and all illegal immigrants must be deported. Also, many recent legal immigrants should be repatriated. Moreover, subsidizing the birth of nonwhites through welfare programs needs to stop. Furthermore, Whites should be encouraged to bear more children.
Third, “Whites must correct the political and legal order to end the political power of nonwhite minorities and their white anti-white allies.” Therefore, all affirmative action and civil rights legislation need to be abolished. Moreover, “the federal governmental superstructure that entrenches minority power” needs to be dismantled. Furthermore, States and local governments should be allowed to govern without interference from the federal government. Additionally, private institutions should be allowed to function independently of the government.
Francis concludes:
Whites and nonwhites would enjoy equality of legal rights in the sense of those fundamental rights listed in the very first Civil Rights Act of 1866: “the inhabitants of every race . . . shall have the same right to make and enforce contracts, to sue, be parties, and give evidence, to inherit, purchase, lease, sell, hold and convey real and personal property, and to full and equal benefit of all laws and proceedings for the security of persons and property, and shall be subject to like punishment . . . and no others.” . . . [E]quality of legal rights, equality before the law, does not mean political equality, the right to vote, or the right to hold political office, let alone social and economic equality, nor the “right” to attend the same schools, to serve on juries, to marry across racial lines, to serve in the armed forces, to eat at lunch counters, to ride on buses, to buy a house or rent a room or hold a job, to receive welfare, to be admitted to colleges and universities, to take academic degrees or to be promoted.
Individually, States could decide which of these rights to grant nonwhites, but the federal government would not. “[T]he only legal rights that either the U.S. or state governments would be required to recognize and enforce equally would be those Blackstonean rights of personal security, personal liberty, and property mentioned above.”
Then Francis gives a brief discussion of what is needed to achieve these goals.
If the United States fail to implement Francis’s recommendations or something similar to them, they will go the way of South Africa, where Whites are open game for nonwhites because Whites are no longer humans.
