One of the most important aspects of modern American politics is the desire among a faction of conservatives to ally with African-Americans. This has motivated decades worth of terrible decisions. This includes Turning Point USA’s decision to promote Candace Owens, Donald Trump’s “Platinum Plan,” and repetitive attempts to rewrite history. I’ve personally met several conservatives who insisted that, since the Democrats dominated the Old South, the modern Democratic Party is anti-black.

White Nationalists sometimes make fun of “Dems are the real racists” rhetoric but, truthfully, our movement isn’t immune to the “based black” meme. A quick Google search reveals plenty of (earnest) attempts by White Advocates to explain to blacks that we aren’t their enemies. More eccentric figures have gone further. Many who are reading this will have seen the famous picture of George Lincoln Rockwell attending a Nation of Islam meeting. He and his followers sat in the middle of a vast crowd of blacks while dressed in full Nazi regalia.

Rockwell’s outlandish behavior damaged America’s white advocacy scene.

Putting aside the issue of why Rockwell thought it was a good idea to style himself in such a needlessly provocative way, it’s obvious that the meetup didn’t benefit America’s racialist scene in any way. The vast majority of racially conscious white Americans wanted nothing to do with militant blacks. Choosing to ally with the Nation of Islam therefore alienated Rockwell’s potential audience while simultaneously making him seem like an attention hungry man who was willing to do anything in order to get a bit of media coverage.

However, allying with Black Nationalists doesn’t just push away potential recruits. It also damages our movement by opening it up to negative psychological influences. Whites and blacks differ in more ways than just average IQ scores. We also have radically different behavioral norms. This is obvious when one looks at studies on anti-social traits. Research has shown that:

• Blacks are significantly more likely than other races to have narcissistic traits.¹
• Blacks are at least 3 times more likely to be diagnosed with psychotic disorders (and almost 5 times more likely to be diagnosed with schizophrenia) than whites.²
• The rate of STDs is far higher among blacks, likely due to their tendency towards hypersexual behavior. College age black men are 5.3 times more likely to have chlamydia and 9.4 times more likely to have gonorrhea as white men in the same age bracket.³
• Black men and women have different hormone levels than women of other races. This isn’t limited to androgen levels. They also have unique adrenal hormone profiles.^{4, 5}

This means that most blacks are psychologically incapable of being productive allies. While there are exceptions, the bulk of their population simply can’t be helpful even if they want to be.

The tendency of supposedly “like-minded” Black Nationalists to rewrite history and promote ideas which are detrimental to White self-perception is a case in point. I recently came across an American Renaissance interview from 2020 with an organization called Social Architects 26 and noticed that the author went out of his way to insist that homosexual behavior is foreign to Africans and is an invention of “euro-asiatic” culture.⁶ This is a direct inversion of reality. It’s been widely known for decades that the rate of bisexuality among black men is unusually high. Many people are familiar with phrases like “on the down low” and know which race it tends to apply to.⁷

Arguing with them about issues like this would be pointless. Blacks display a high degree of collective narcissism which is fused with a tendency to believe wild, unhinged things that have little connection to reality. This makes it extremely difficult for them to engage in the type of self-criticism that would be necessary for them to be useful allies. The situation is further worsened by the tendency of black men to be hyper-sexual and view their race as inherently masculine. They tend to “signal” their masculinity by attacking the masculinity of others (hence why they often use terms like “bitch ass n***a”). They constantly “needle” and test those who try to ally with them and, once they have a bit of power, they start to promote wild and nonsensical ideas.

This is the main reason why the net effect of allying with blacks has been quite harmful to every movement which has attempted it. The initial push-back against the transgender lobby was led by doctors, concerned family members, and intelligent critics. The public was starting to understand why transgenders were aggressively pushing their way into women’s spaces and how they spread their propaganda to children. Then Candace Owen came along and normalized “transvestigations.” Conservative normies immediately began wasting critical time wondering about whether various female celebrities were secretly male-to-females. The same thing happened to the red pill movement when it was co-opted by blacks like Myron Gaines. No one could take men who date Instagram models, while complaining about “thots,” seriously. Even the ever-resilient Nick Fuentes doesn’t seem to have fully recovered from his decision to associate with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West.

Kanye later released a song titled “Nigga, Heil Hitler!”

The pattern is always the same. A few “based blacks” are welcomed and given outlandish amounts of attention by whites who are happy to have non-white allies. The bromance quickly falls apart when stereotypical black behavior emerges. Some of the most “wholesome” African-American conservatives have been exposed as grifters. Recently evidence surfaced that Candace Owens has a history of accusing whites of racism, was arrested for harassment as a teen, and refused to pay rent after moving into a luxury apartment.⁸ Her personal history shows her to be an erratic and unstable person who is obsessed with fame. A basic background check would have exposed these issues, but Turning Point USA wanted a “red-pilled black woman” as an influencer and she fit the bill.

Those who think this can’t happen in our spaces should remember that the Dissident Right has always been somewhat of a “big tent” and that there’s a strong strain of classical liberalism within the American White Advocacy movement. Some Americans who are opposed to Moslem or Hispanic immigration see blacks as “real Americans” due to their long history in the country. There are others who wish to create an ethno-pluralist world in which the elites of all nations respect national boundaries. Such individuals are not ill-intentioned, but their generosity could be taken advantage of by “grifters.” As our movement grows there will be more figures like Candace Owens looking to use our spaces for their own benefit. It’d be best to avoid repeating history.

White Advocates should consciously avoid platforming racially alien individuals who wish to use our organizations to profit, gain fame, or amplify their own agendas. Later, once we are in power, our best leaders can develop a sane policy for handling issues like foreign trade with African nations. That’s still a long way off though and right now we should focus on building a high-quality movement that values quality over “clicks.” We don’t need self-promoters like Candace or erratic performance artists like Kanye using us to get a bit more attention.
