Conclusion
 
As Mr. Carl writes, white Americans today “suffer from downward
economic mobility, declining fertility, rising drug addiction and
depression, and narrowing opportunities, all piled onto a false
presumption of privilege.” Any vestigial advantages they may still
derive from belonging to America’s historical majority are “informal
and evanescent cultural legacies,” whereas “the discrimination they
experience is . . . increasingly legal and formal.”
 
Obviously, if there were any real “white privilege,” non-whites would
be trying to “pass” for white (as they once did). Instead, we see a
flight from white. The reported American Indian population ballooned
from 0.4 percent in 1970 to nearly 3 percent in 2020, not due to any
explosion in fertility but to an increase in Elizabeth Warren-style
claims aimed at getting non-white privilege.
 
Mr. Carl acknowledges that whites are not merely the victims of
anti-white hostility, but often its most enthusiastic perpetrators. He
combines a defense of whites as a group with harsh criticism of these
white progressives, writing that their “moral mania has made them,
without question, the most destructive group in American life. No real
solution to our racial problems is possible until they either reject
their current anti-white animus or are removed from their positions of
power and authority.”
 
The endgame of the current system is “the expropriation of land,
property, and other wealth from whites” and the institution of “a
permanent regime of anti-white employment and legal discrimination.”
As of now, he writes, “appeals to expropriation are usually indirect,”
but over time they “will become more direct and in need of less
justification as the political power of white Americans continues to
decline.”
 
Two developments make this clear. The first is the growing success of
the reparations movement:
 
Black reparations will open the door to massive multi-trillion-dollar
payments to any group that can seize the holy grail of victimhood. We
aren’t going to win this fight by nibbling around the edges, by
compromising, or by saying that groups deserve reparations for this
but not for that. We must pull up root and branch the entire concept
of mass racial reparations.
 
The alternative is likely to be “racial extortion on an unimaginable
scale,” possibly leading to “interethnic violence and a collapse of
American society.”
 
The second recent development is a practice imported from Canada: land
acknowledgements. It is no common for institutions built by whites to
“acknowledge” that they are on land taken from this or that tribe. As
the author points out, the entire practice is intellectually
incoherent, since the particular group whose lands whites occupied
were seldom or never the first group to hold them. An honest land
acknowledgement might sound something like: “Our ancestors took this
land from the Chippewa, who had previously driven out the Sioux to
another place where they would go on to massacre the Pawnee,” etc.,
etc. More importantly, such “acknowledgements” are “an intellectual
precursor to expropriation,” and deserve to be taken seriously as
such.
 
Mr. Carl reports that some readers of early drafts of The Unprotected
Class were enthusiastic about his ideas but felt that “a non-white
ought to write such a book instead of him.”
 
Somehow a white person advancing arguments that white people should be
treated fairly was seen as unseemly. It’s an understandable political
instinct for anyone who has been involved in American politics in
recent decades, but ultimately it’s an attitude we need to eliminate.
 
It is whites’ failure to organize in defense of our own interests that
had made the anti-white regime possible. As Mr. Carl writes,
“non-whites have organized and made powerful demands, while whites
have focused on broad, gauzy appeals to . . . universal rights” that
have proven “almost completely ineffective.” It is time for us to make
strong demands.
 
As noted, we have looked here at only a few of the twelve realms of
anti-white discrimination Mr. Carl discusses. The reader should get
the book itself for the full story. I am unaware of any mainstream
book on race published since American Renaissance was founded 34 years
ago that pulls so few punches.

Its amusing to see people finally realise that anti-racism has an
anti-white component to it, given that people were talking about this
(albeit a very small minority) decades ago.
 
Identity politics is here to say.  You cannot have a "diverse" society
without identity politics.  White people do not have a choice whether
to engage or not, their choice is, are they going to stand for their
own group interests or abandon their group interests and slide
backwards.  Anti-racists are arguing that whites should do the latter.
