European Americans United on Defamation

With many thanks to our friends at Resisting Defamation, European Americans United has added another article under Issues to our organization’s platform: Defamation.

Defamation is defined as: an act of communication that causes someone to be shamed, ridiculed, held in contempt, lowered in the estimation of the community, or to lose employment status or earnings or otherwise suffer a damaged reputation. Such defamation is couched in ‘defamatory language’. Libel and slander are defamation.

In keeping with EAU’s mission statement(s) we believe this anti-defamation plank will be well received. In fact, the Board has agreed just such a position “will bolster and refine EAU’s place in the existing culture of grievance, by creating an implicitly legitimate space for explicit European-American identification that is beyond attack.”

While other manifestations of Eurocentric activism have not explicitly set out to define an aggressive rather than defensive posture, having always relied instead on an “implicit defense,” that needs to change NOW into explicit attack whenever justified. We therefore strongly urge all of EAU’s members and supporters to “be on the lookout” for issues, depictions, statements and activity that defame, insult or slur European Americans. — and then address it properly (here).

Defamation

Thirty-six years ago, well-known Wilmot Robertson in his 1972 book, “The Dispossessed Majority,” commented on the need for a watchdog organization to criticize slurs and smears against European Americans: “There are aggressively censorious minority organizations, principal among them the B’nai B’rith’s Anti-Defamation League, which monitor the printed and the spoken word for the most subtle anti-minority allusions. Should any be found, the owner or editor of the offending media and, if necessary, the writer, advertisers and stockholders are so advised and admonished. The majority, to its great loss, has no similar watchdog organizations.”

Everyother demographic-based organization in America has established such anorganization to protect its children and grandchildren from unwantedand
derogatory names and labels. Only European Americans have failed to speak out against such hate speech.

In the sixties and seventies, a flier circulated by left-wing racialists listed ten ways to determine supremacy. (In those days, of course, it was directed toward minority groups to liberate them from “white oppression.”) The first key to recognizing supremacy was to determine who named and labeled you. Nowadays, it is the diverse European Americans who are named, and named differently, by other groups. For example, some African Americans call us “honky,” some Asian Americans call us “round-eyes,” and some Jewish
Americans call us “goyim.” The second key to recognizing supremacy claims was to determine whether we have internalized the names others imposed on us. And, of course, there are many that we carelessly and thoughtlessly use to describe ourselves, e.g., gentile, gringo, shiksa, and haole.

It behooves us to reject all names imposed on us, to combat slurs (“dumb blonde”), hate caricatures (“All In The Family”), and negative stereotypes (“typical white person”), and to fight all labels that smother our nationality (American), that smother our diversity (various European countries), and that validate supremacy claims by groups outside our diverse European American family.

A European American anti-defamation program would demand that we have the sole right to name, label, define, and describe ourselves, and the ultimate goal of such an anti-defamation organization would be to allow our children and grandchildren to have a decent sense of self-respect. It is a goal of this organization to bring such a sensibility to our members and readers, and to support all movements and efforts that defend European Americans from slanders, canards, and imposed labels. –end of Article
