Civic nationalism worked out the same way for everybody regardless of race. It is the tribalism that you hold in so much disdain that is causing the black racism you hate so much. And you want to become one of them. How ironic.
Civic nationalism only works in a homogenous society. It didn't work that well in the 90% White but multiethnic America of the 1950s.
Excerpt from Der Spiegel (August 2005) interview with Lee Kuan Yew. He hits the situation on the head:
SPIEGEL: During your career, you have kept your distance from Western style democracy. Are you still convinced that an authoritarian system is the future for Asia?
Mr. Lee: Why should I be against democracy? The British came here, never gave me democracy, except when they were about to leave. But I cannot run my system based on their rules. I have to amend it to fit my people's position. In multiracial societies, you don't vote in accordance with your economic interests and social interests, you vote in accordance with race and religion. Supposing I'd run their system here, Malays would vote for Muslims, Indians would vote for Indians, Chinese would vote for Chinese. I would have a constant clash in my Parliament which cannot be resolved because the Chinese majority would always overrule them. So I found a formula that changes that...
White Gentiles vote as individuals but the majority of non-White Gentiles band together and vote their group interests. The outcome is that Whites have been in retreat since the 1960s. Do you consider this the ethical thing to do? In the end either our backs will be to the wall and we'll have to fight or we will be wiped off the face of the earth. Is that what you want?
