This lead me down a path of why exactly did the KKK burn crosses. I assumed it was because of some explicit connotation to Christianity, but nope turns out the original KKK didnât burn crosses. The guy who wrote The Klansmann just inserted it as some kooky ancient rite to summon clansmen like a smoke signal or make oaths on and the seal those oaths by burning the cross. Of course the second iteration of the KKK realized their fictional kooky rite of a big burning cross worked pretty well as intimidation in someoneâs front yard.
Abortion ban goes hand in hand with replacement theory.
Ben Wattenberg - âThe major problem confronting the United States today is there arenât enough white babies being born. If we donât do something about this and do it now, white people will be in the numerical minority and we will no longer be a white manâs land.â
He offered 3 possible solutions:
Paying American women to have babies. He said this plan was untenable because âwe would have to pay women of all colors to have babies.
Increase our immigration quotas. One problem, more people of color were coming than whites.
"The third thing we could do is remember that sixty percent of the fetuses that are aborted every year are white. If we could keep that sixty percent of life alive, that would solve our birth dearth.â
And this guy was an advisor for a Democratic president, LBJ
Sounds like heâs to the left of the mainstream Republican Party since he doesnât offer the fourth solution of killing enough non-whites to protect the white advantage.
