<![CDATA[An Honest Look at the Alt-Right]]>If you are like many people, in America and around the globe, you believe that there is a negative aura around the so called, “Alt-Right”. You may believe we are all in the Ku Klux Klan, evil racists, or Neo-Nazis. The media will show you the images of those men in wizard robes and the ones carrying a Nazi flag. However, you are seeing 0.1% of the Alt-Right. I will come right out and say it, I, along with a majority of the Alt-Right, disapprove of these people. I not only see them as somewhat dumb, but also destructive. They know what they are doing is hurting public image and they continue to do it. Racism and hate are not what we are about at all. In fact, quite the opposite is true.

um peace i guess

The Alt-Right is not about hating other races or anything along those lines. To me it is about recognizing that all races are different. It is to acknowledge that race is a real thing that differentiates different peoples. The Alt-Right is simply an advocate for the white race. Just as the Hotep movement and the NAACP is for the black race, UnidosUS is for Latinos, and yes… Zionism is for the Jews. If you look at all these groups I just mentioned, it can be assumed that there are a minority of people in those groups that may be extreme and evil, right? The same goes for the Alt-Right.

I’m hoping this isn’t hard for some to believe, but I am, in fact, just a normal guy. I’m a senior in high school, I have a lot of friends and I’m involved in various school positivity clubs. My friends are very diverse in ideas, and I, indeed, have a few friends who aren’t white. I don’t hold it against them that their opinions differ from mine, or let it take away from the fact that they are good people at heart. Even if we argue or debate topics, that doesn’t mean I hate them. This is important on all levels of social interaction. Open debate and the welcoming of diverse ideas is one of the founding principles of the United States. Just because my ideology may not fit into the normal realm of US politics, doesn’t mean that my group shouldn’t have a platform to speak our minds, without fear of backlash.

Now, what might separate the ideas of myself and the ideas of other advocacy groups? We believe that to preserve this beautiful diverse culture that everyone has, we keep them somewhat removed from each other. Now the magnitude on this is debatable, whether it is separating by cultural communities, balkanized states, or separate countries all together. I know this is not the pro-multiculutural society that we live in today, but in my personal opinion, it can decrease a lot of tension between groups of people. This tribalistic tendency is only natural. Rather than forcing different races to intermingle and fight, why not let nature sort it out?

If anyone reading this can take anything from this article, it is this. The Alt-Right recognizes a difference in race. This being said, our goal is to advocate and preserve our race. Though our individual ideas may differ on how to do this, our goal is the same. If we are not able to complete this goal, it may mean the eventual destruction of the White race. I’m hoping that I was able to shine some light on our ideas and show that we aren’t as far fetched as people make us out to be.  Rather than automatically berating and hating us, next time, hear us out. Instead of beating each other senseless in the street, maybe we could have a real discussion.
