Glad you wrote the book Jeremy, you’re right, everyone I know is way to the right of your book however it’s a great advisory to give those who have potential to wake up some real context. We are full of great minds and in order to preserve ourselves and our culture we are going to need all the hearts and minds to understand that yes, it’s happening, here is the proof it’s state sponsored, now let’s do something.
I guess the first question is, should the people of any race be prioritizing their own race's concerns at the expense of other races? If taking this path is okay, then obviously every race should be entitled to do it. It's all or nothing, in other words: either each race can play its own 'race card' of choice, or none of them can. Permitting one race, or a select subset of races, to focus on their interests in ways denied to others would be transparently unfair. If, on the other hand, it's illegitimate to prioritize along racial lines then the prohibition against it must also be universal, and no race should be able to get away with doing it. Personally, I don't think it much matters how this question is answered, provided that in the end each race operates under the same combination of permission and constraint. You may think white people--or black people--are the cat's pyjamas; and that's perfectly fine, so long as you aren't denouncing members of other population groups as 'racists' for thinking exactly the same thing about their group. I don't see any way around this standard of even-handedness, either ethically or on the grounds of logical consistency. It doesn't claim that all races are the same and doesn't need to: it's perfectly legitimate to acknowledge characteristic racial differences and different racial histories, and these can be expected to repay careful study. But each race must be free to contribute and speak its mind on a level playing field, to the extent that we take the position that generalizing along racial lines is useful and permissible at all.
