National Reviews David French blames white people for “White Supremacy” And “White Nationalism”.  

“French’s November 15 column, “The White-Supremacy Surge,” is more cowbell to amplify the media’s nonstop drumbeat that Donald Trump and his supporters are bigots, anti-Semites, and neo-Nazis. (A despicable Washington Post column over the weekend suggested that massacres and death squads might be in the offing because of Trump.)

“Sadly, French’s incendiary analysis wasn’t far from that Post screed. It is a literary junk drawer of anecdotal evidence and conjecture scattered with overworn insults about Trump supporters.”

See the article of refutation against the lies of David French HERE.


The problem with French’s data and analysis is the non-existence of the White Supremacist Movement. In fact, America has been on a mission to diminish white people and raise up non-whites to the point today that their effects over the past 40 or 50 years has taken hold of the small minds of the American Left. The actual date, the statistics included in the report not only fail to bolster French’s claim, the data shows: whites are the third-most frequently targeted group of victims, after black and LGBT people.

Jews, Mexicans, and Muslims are less likely to be a victim of a hate crime than a white person, according to the study. Further—and highly relevant here—there is no proof that white supremacists committed most of the offenses for which they are blamed in the study.  That’s worse than the lies about the White Supremacy Movement that doesn’t exist. That’s punishment for the innocent.

To Continue with Julie Kelly’s excellent and true analysis: “The greater disease afflicting America, as French should know, is the institutional decay in thousands of small towns across the country. Millions of white Americans have been failed by their political leaders, faith leaders, community leaders, business leaders, and union leaders. The political party that once stood for them has all but abandoned them, and the other political party has ignored them for decades.

No one spoke for them when their local industries were bought off to relocate to major cities or other countries; when allies and foes alike benefited from unfair trade agreements; when China and Mexico were dumping lethal drugs into their schools; when a blind eye was turned toward rising illegal immigration that undercut wages and job opportunities.

There’s now only one leader who is speaking for them, and that is Donald Trump. While French and his fellow political snobs sneer at the condition of rural and industrial America, and waste time chasing an imaginary tide of white hoods, Trump and his administration are addressing the real threats faced by forgotten Americans—threats that, if not addressed, will certainly lead to negative repercussions for the country as a whole. NeverTrump concern trolling about working class Trump voters is as disingenuous as it gets.

If influencers like French had their way, Republicans would spend all their time calling out the outliers on this side, rather than developing solutions to help disaffected white and other working class Americans—not to mention condemning the more dangerous and legitimate surge in left-wing fueled violence.

But the purpose of French’s piece is not to find a cure or even honestly and factually to articulate a serious societal menace. French lends a conservative imprimatur to the false leftist narrative that Trump is a racist, that the president promotes white supremacy, and that his supporters are ready to wield Tiki torches to burn down the country. A greater threat to civil society, in reality, is contemptible pieces of writing like French’s, which are intended to malign innocent people based on race and political affiliation, and further divide the country he laughably claims to want to save.
