White Californians deserve better representation
Mar 10, 2024
CBS News Bay Area reported that “Antisemitic speech has prompted the city of Walnut Creek to join other Bay Area cities in shutting down online and phone-in public comments during public meetings. CBS News quotes a Walnut Creek City Councilman, Kevin Wilk, stating that “it’s a strategy of far-right, white nationalist groups like White Lives Matter California, who use locally broadcast public forums to broadcast their messages. Wilk has often been mentioned by name by callers, who Wilk said typically use pseudonyms like “Eddie from Walnut Creek” and don’t show their faces over Zoom. A few years ago NBC Bay Area reported that banners in Walnut Creek displayed slogans such as “It’s OK to be pro-white” and “White Lives Matter.”
While I support their right to free speech, the White Nationalist fixation on Jews & fellation of Nazi Germany guarantees that they will never be viable. This rhetoric and optics are an impediment for Whites to embrace any form of positive ethnocentrism. This is because White identity politics is so taboo that the kookiest voices are the most vocal. I called White Lives Matter California out on their rhetoric on X and all they could do was denigrate me for being of partial Jewish ancestry.
Ironically I have called for this section of the Bay Area (Walnut Creek plus nearby Lamorinda, Alamo, and Danville) as one of several candidates for White enclaves in California and criticized the Left-YIMBY push to “integrate” the area. However, Whites in these upper middle class suburbs are very status-obsessed and want absolutely nothing to do with overt White Nationalism, even if they moved to these areas to escape demographic change.
What I am in favor of is for Whites, especially in California, to pursue their group interests under a new multicultural paradigm where White enclaves function in the way that immigrant enclaves currently do. I certainly oppose the demographic transformation of California’s remaining White enclaves and believe that White Californians should embrace positive ethnocentrism. However, one has to be smart about how they present their message.
