By Tim “xrugger” Stebbins for The Burning Platform
In his essay Self-Reliance, Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote:
“To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men,–that is genius. Speak your latent conviction, and it shall be the universal sense; for the inmost in due time becomes the outmost, and our first thought is rendered back to us by the trumpets of the Last Judgment … A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his.”
I am a white man. I have no desire to speak for other white men. I have only a duty to speak and act on that which I believe to be true. I will not dismiss my own thought, nor will I refuse the demands of conscience to acknowledge that “gleam of light” of which Emerson wrote. What follows is my attempt to “speak my latent conviction.” I am convinced of the truth of what I believe and, being convinced, I am bound to express that belief.
That said, what follows is directed primarily at those who would betray their own people in order to enter into the good graces of petty tyrants who would happily see them enslaved and eliminated. We are not (the current narrative notwithstanding) “all in this together.”
Every people has a past, a present, and (hopefully) a future. My people have a glorious past replete with savage violence, stupefying ignorance, and sublime achievement. We have a troubled present full of wrongs inflicted and wrongs received. We face an uncertain future as does the world. There is not a people on this earth who can claim any different.
I believe that loving one’s own first and foremost is no indicator of hatred for the other. The usual epithets spewed by present day social fascists hold no power that is not given them by the targets of their invective. I grow roses. If I should have a special affinity for the deep red variety, am I required to uproot all the others and cast them on the fire? Because I love my own people, must I hate others? Except in the undifferentiated hive mind of the relentlessly ignorant, such thinking is ludicrous.
I’ve read and heard a number of moronic screeds and rants by leftist rabble who insist that, while the ridiculous idea of “white privilege,” is a sacrosanct concept not to be challenged, there apparently exists no such thing as a white culture from which that imaginary demon could spring. That would seem to be a logical impossibility in a rational world. However, if one wanders far enough into the emotional fen of liberal musings, it becomes easy to embrace any sort of ephemeral concept floating randomly through society with no factual tethers attached.
I would think that the video embedded below should, by itself, go some distance in exposing that particular progressive line of “thought” for the cognitive atrocity it is. I know one song will not penetrate the armor of the impregnably virtuous. Nor will it change the hearts and minds of the emotionally and intellectually ossified, but perhaps, at least, it may stir your soul as it does mine. Let the bleating masses bleat. I would rather listen to my people sing.

I’m rather sure that the origins of that ballad reside firmly in the realm of “whiteness.” Written as a lament after the Scottish defeat at Culloden in 1746, this hymn to a warrior culture speaks of lost causes and last stands. More to the point, it is an expression of a people’s desire to be free.

Now, I do not care what color you are or what culture birthed you, if you are not intellectually honest enough to see the unique aspects of the culture that produced such a ballad, then I can’t help you. If you are white and if, in the course of listening to that one simple song, you are incapable of envisioning the glories of the race of which you are a part (however unwillingly), then go and enlist in the battalions of self-loathing, anti-white, good-thinkers howling for the annihilation of their own people. Go and grovel for the temporary approval of those who, if they have their way, will come first for those who see the world as I do. Rest assured, they will come for you later. Your treachery may buy you some time. It will not buy you your life. What is coming will be the end of you, one way or another.
Incredibly, much of the today’s puerile anti-white yelping is served up by a gaggle of whites unmoored, for whatever reason, from the greater heritage and history of our people. Unwilling to embrace who they are, these perfidious muttonheads choose to throw in their lot with the mob who sees in “whiteness” the universal cause of all the world’s woes. How any sentient, reasonably educated human being can reach that conclusion is a deep and abiding mystery to me…oh wait…no it’s not. Such people reach that conclusion because, in their desire to avoid looking at their own deficiencies, they prefer to ascribe their personal and collective failures to the oh-so-unique-and-never-before-perpetrated-by-anyone-anywhere evils solely and uniquely associated with people who look like I do. You know…people of pallor.
To the contrary, white people (specifically, heterosexual, white men) have been a wellspring of material, political, scientific, musical, spiritual, and philosophical innovation for –oh, a few years now. Sadly, in this age where feelings run rampant over reason, any attempt by a white man to extol the virtues of his people (even though to do so does nothing to diminish the virtues or accomplishments of another) will be met by a cacophonous throng of life’s losers screeching the usual vituperative boilerplate deemed acceptable by the current idiocracy. Such dolts are the product of weaponized academia, a lickspittle media establishment, and a decomposing society. They are dullard ducklings waddling behind their addlepated intellectual parents, quacking the same tiresome tropes as the rest of the nestlings.
These visionless, historical illiterates are the vanguard of a movement that will eventually culminate in the attempted subjugation and destruction of the white race. The replacement of whites in their homelands all over the world is a testament to this trendline. Even more troubling is the advancement of the concepts of “whiteness” and “white privilege” as universal scapegoats for the world’s ills. Such language should set alarm bells ringing in every white home.
To those whose self-loathing has blinded them to the consequences of their actions, I say this: You are certainly free to facilitate the degradation and marginalization of your own people. Just as I am free to oppose you. Do not, however, be so impervious to lucid thought that you believe you will be spared because of your sycophantic slobbering apologies for the wrongs of your forebears. We are on a road with no turning and choices will have to be made. You’ve made yours. Instead of standing on the shoulders of giants, you have chosen to kneel at the feet of bastard cast-offs who know not the meaning of allegiance to kin and clan. Instead of standing shoulder to shoulder with your brothers and sisters, you rub elbows and swap spit with those who would love nothing more than to see you physically shackled and spiritually degraded, preparatory to your immolation.
The sad fact is that the betrayal of white culture by our own has been gathering speed for some time now. The betrayers have allowed a proliferating crowd of vacuous imbeciles to acquire influence far out of scale with their intelligence. Because of their efforts, a wide swath of the white population has not only begun to accept the idea of their own destruction, they have begun to actively advocate for it. To wit:
Empty-headed academic harridans vow to not have children, lest they spread the evil of “whiteness” more broadly upon the earth. What insufferable narcissism! They will, no doubt, get their wish as no self-respecting white man would want to be a party to placing an innocent being in such a viperous womb. One can hope that such shrews will, indeed, die childless. The race will be better for it.
Simpering, sniveling social justice “warriors” kneel before the cameras in decorative chains, making oily apologies for the sins of their long-dead ancestors who, thankfully, are beyond the reach of the lunacy of their posterity. These are lost souls beyond the reach of reason. These “men” roll in the dung heap of their own degradation and think themselves superior for the effort.
Brainless celebrities and their media zoo keepers celebrate miscegenation in all its forms. This is to be expected. After all, dilution yields the same result as deletion. It just takes longer. Watch a few hours of network TV if you doubt me. If you don’t think you are witnessing the early stages of a deliberate attempt to eliminate you as a distinct people, I salute you. You have achieved a level of self-delusion that is truly exemplary.
Unlike the human offal described above, I don’t hate those who find reason in their own history to despise whites. At least there is a case to be made for the way they see the world. Mistakes are made and wrongs are done and the world keeps turning. However, if in their hatred, others seek the destruction of my people, then I am bound to stand and defend the race that birthed me. It is utterly rational to think this way and such beliefs lay well within the boundaries of common sense. I am aware such thinking brands me a racist in the eyes of this world. If that is the verdict of this degenerate age, I will count such a judgment as a badge of honor. I will not kneel before barbarians of any color or creed.
All peoples have drunk the wine of victory and tasted the dregs of defeat. All have conquered and been conquered. No race is free of some taint of the past, nor are any free of responsibility for what lies ahead. This irrational desire to re-order the future by finding scapegoats for the past seems to be a constant in human affairs. In this time, my people are the designated victims and there is no shortage of quislings among us willing to sacrifice their brothers and sisters for a mess of multicultural pottage.
A hundred years from now, when the sand castles of utopian visionaries have once again vanished under a tide of human suffering, another whipping boy will be found and the cycle will begin again. There will be no peace on this good earth until we stop trying to make a heaven of it. In the interim, I will find solace in the strength of my race and hope in the song of my people.
This article should serve to heap “burning coals” upon the heads of those who have betrayed their own race by sipping the kool-aid of our oppressors. Those who frequent the Baal temples and listen to the multi-cultural slop that is sewing the seeds of our own destruction.
To all of the white parents who failed to train up their children in the way they should go; I really hope you enjoy strolling through the big box stores, pushing a cart that is carrying your kinky-headed grand kids. Good job, you have contributed to the destruction of your own race. Think about it.
My mistake, sending my offspring to the state university, reality will soon hit them like a 2×4 between the eyes. In the mean time I’ll be spending their inheritance at a higher velocity. It’s only fair!
be very careful about who you throw on the fire.

When I played the video – I’d not heard it sung for a long time- it brought tears to my eyes. I Do not speak my ancestral language very well, but I know enough to hear the emotion in their voices; emotions we should feel, sing about and celebrate in the here and now. What I do and have done is a salute to my ancestors, and a challenge to my descendants.
Too right, Sionnach Liath.
Most Celts & Gaels and other folk of Northern European
heritage also have that internal voice that speaks to them
of truth.
Although many may not have yet heard it,
Eventually
They will:
I would venture a guess, that approximately 80% of the white progressives copping a guilt trip and kneeling before their accusers would find the vocabulary in this exceptionally written screed much too difficult to understand, and therefore be dismissed, with a wave of an emotional hand gesture.
Sad.
Of the remaining 20%, yet still another 20% subset might…MIGHT have the willingness, desire, or intelligence to use a dictionary to learn the precise meanings of such a vast trove of challenging vocabulary put forth herein.
A tip of the hat, TS.
Bravo.
I had to use the dictionary several times. Well worth the time for this excellent post… Chip
A post for the ages right there.
“people of pallor” – classic stuff
One wonders if the sleeping giant is now merely watching its would-be opponents burn down their own cities and neighborhoods.
One also wonders how it’s all going to end.

If I was standing along that wall I would make eye contact with every feral Ape and say, “That’s right, keep walking, negro.”
Not a bad idea to get a couple more dogs in the neighborhood-the payback would be high-the cost of kibbles for the alert pups who have much better eyesight and hearing ability is small compared to the 24/7 protection they give to their home turf.
Would be a riot to let a Doberman loose at a “peaceful” protest just before dusk.
Extremely well written, Tim. I don’t think you’ll find any disagreement around here. Thanks for your effort.
Absofreakinglutely outstanding piece! Nails it from top to bottom. Also reminded me of the scene from “Natural Born Killers” where the Woody Harrelson character tells their hostage that they weren’t going to kill him for anything that HE did. “It’s what you represent.” In today’s situation I just “represent” a White European. If that’s a problem for them they will also have a more serious issue with my European/American technology for launching small projectiles into their bodies from long distances.
Should a black someone ask me to apologize for my whiteness, I will ask them if they are sorry they are black. That puts them in a bit of a bind. If they say no, I will say neither am I sorry I am white. Nor would I apologize for any so called privilege. They deny the black privilege they are currently taking advantage of. I can play that game, too.
Mary Christine,
Oh no, you better not pose that question. It has a logic to it that
cannot and will not resonate. Keep far from the shit flinging hoards
of the self loathing regardless of race. Your safety and very life depends
on avoiding certain peoples any time you can. Woman to woman, there.
We should start a trend right here of calling these people what they are-The Black Lynch Mob.
A “black someone”? Asking a person to apologize for the hatred de jour puts them in the category of an “it”, not a person. My dog has more smarts than something that tries to play the racist game.
Irish Lives Matter
There can be no true friends without true enemies. Unless we hate what we are not, we cannot love what we are. These are the old truths we are painfully rediscovering after a century and more of sentimental cant. Those who deny them deny their family, their heritage, their culture, their birthright, their very selves! They will not lightly be forgiven.
Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of
Honestly, I’m not familiar with SPH, but am I missing something in this. If I don’t have any true enemies, I therefore cannot have any true friends? I can’t love myself without hating others? Who are my enemies, and who am I suppose to hate? I know I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but could someone tell me what I’m missing. PLEASE. I do think Tim nailed it.

Helluva article. Will definitely save this to pass on to my beautiful blue-eyed grandchildren.

flash, the video speaks for itself. TY
We must separate from the diversity. They will come for us
for sure then, as the communities of diverse are largely
supported by the tax paying citizens.
The diversity calls white’s privileged as we support the untrainable.
Persons can only think and reason based on the gray matter of the
brain. One can spot people that have reached a ceiling of intellect.
Those people have reached their potential. Diversity claims a right
to others’ stuff. They may demand respect and they seethe with envy.
There is no solution, but the “I’m on your side” BS will just get you
a broken head/brains leaking on the pavement. Well there is a solution,
which is a shallow compromise. Separate voluntarily. Or call in the military
to cull the herd. Very harsh/unthinkable. Yet, we laud our military bombing
and murdering for oil for Banker’s and 1% wealth. But we hesitate greatly
over using military to regain some order in our own streets. Think about
it. Virtue signalers need not apply. Their ceiling is visible.
Separation is an excellent idea, but unfortunately black people will never let that happen. Blacks are far too dependent on whites to permit us to just wander off into our own peaceful sanctuaries, asking only to be left alone. That is, by itself, “racist” according to blacks.
Whites have been trying to accomplish separation for 150 years in order to correct the mistake of the Southern plantation class, which imported a second Stone Age aboriginal people into this continent in order to get free labor and free sex. Segregation, white flight, racial covenants, redlining, private schools and suburbia itself were all attempts to keep the “dim and the dangerous” away from our dependents; but all those efforts were opposed by blacks and eventually overcome.
The same thing will happen with any future white “homeland” established through peaceable separation.
Blacks need whites. They can’t live without us, and they know it. In every city where blacks have taken over from whites and now constitute a majority, the result hasn’t been a civic renaissance; it’s been ceaseless decline and decay. Blacks can’t maintain what they inherit, let alone improve it. Don’t you think they see that?
Post-colonial Africa remains the most backward continent on Earth. The sub-Sahara is a human disaster area. Wakanda doesn’t exist. Don’t you think blacks see that?
We whites used to have homogeneity in this country, when it was 90% white. But we were persuaded to give that up, and the power that goes with it, for a mess of porridge called “all men are created equal.”
We used to be one family, with all the disputes and disagreements of any family, but which always reconciled as the generations passed on. But then we were persuaded to allow millions of strangers from strange lands to walk into our home. Now we find we are a 60% white nation and wonder how did all these odd ideas and weird ways of thinking find a place at our family table.
Folks, multiculturalism is like socialism. You can vote your way into it, but you have to fight your way out of it.
I’ve said it before:
Give a pile of bricks to white guys, and they’ll build you a city.
Give a city to a bunch of black folk, and they’ll give you back a pile of broken bricks.
Actually Starboard, the Southern Plantation class did NOT import the african. The smallest amount of research will prove that the slave trade was 98% jewish. The africans were captured by other africans, sold to arab slave traders who in turn sold them to jewish merchants that shipped them here to be sold again.
Like most problems in the Western world, the jew is at the base of it. And they are now the ones trying to make us feel bad / ‘pay’ for the issues they created!
I’d say Jesus up or die.
Yep!
“When the immense drugged universe explodes
In a cascade of unendurable colour
And leaves us gasping naked,

Fragmentation into true being.
One of the best essays I’ve read on TBP. Thanks, Tim.
Try this one on for size; it explains some of the reasons for the warped minds of antifa whities. Apparently many of them feel their expectations of an easy life have been taken from them unjustly and they despise successful people because of their own failures to measure up.
Kind of like the middle school social studies teacher(s) who have gotten into trouble recently; they just could be pissed because by age 27 they may have felt they would have been full tenured professors at Harvard.
