Is Genocide of South Africa Whites Spreading to United States?

Is Genocide of South Africa Whites Spreading to United States?

I have been reading a good deal about the genocide of South Africa whites. You may be ahead of me in that regard. The white farmers - called the "Boers" have been and continue to be murdered over the last several years because African National Congress (ANC), which is the ruling party wants all the farmland that whites currently own. One African white farmer has stated succinctly, "“It’s politically correct to kill whites these days.”

"In July of 2012, Dr. Gregory Stanton, head of the nonprofit group Genocide Watch, conducted a fact-finding mission in South Africa. He concluded that there is a coordinated campaign of genocide being conducted against white farmers, known as Boers. 'The farm murders, we have become convinced, are not accidental,' Stanton contended. 'It was very clear that the massacres were not common crimes,' he added—especially because of the absolute barbarity used against the victims. 'We don’t know exactly who is planning them yet, but what we are calling for is an international investigation,' he added.

"The number of farm murders, or 'plaasmoorde' as it is called in Afrikaans, is staggering. Over the last decade, it is estimated that at least 3000 Boers have been killed."

South Africa's black government has come under fire (much the way the previous white majority government did) because of the amount of racism that has been incited against whites. It got so bad in 2008, the South Africa government stopped keeping track of all the many white farmers being murdered. All too often, these murders - though absolutely barbaric (including torture, rape, and more) - were simply listed as "accidents" or related to "robberies" gone bad.
One individual - author Adriana Stuijt (@AdrianaStuijt) - has done numerous reports on the situation and has stated that when the government stopped counting back in 2008, the number of black on white murders had already reached 85,000. If we stop to consider this, that is a huge number, which equals a terrible tragedy.
But in many ways, this appears to be a planned tragedy. Many attest that the South Africa government has been actually supporting and even inciting attacks against white farmers. When South Africa celebrated the 100th year of the ANC, the president - Zuma - joined in the singing of the song with the line "Shoot the Boer."
One of the biggest names connected to South Africa is Nelson Mandela, who died not long ago (December 2013). The world tends to hold him up as someone who, like Ghandi, worked through peaceful methods to overturn the racism propagated by the then white government. However, the truth may be far different. "Mandela advocated violent resistance against the apartheid government. When people say that Mandela 'fought' for equality, they mean it literally. His victory against apartheid took a very different path than Gandhi's."
Eventually, Mandela helped found the para-military arm of the ANC "called Umkhonto we Sizwe or 'Spear of the Nation.' The group committed sabotage against state buildings and infrastructure. He explained at his 1964 trial that peaceful efforts had failed; 'only then did we decide to answer violence with violence.'

http://cdn.freedomoutpost.com/wp-con...be-300x300.jpg Mandela was originally sentenced to life in prison. In 1985, he was offered freedom if he would simply swear to never use violence. He refused, but was ultimately freed in 1990, with apartheid ending in 1991. In 1994, the first election was held allowing blacks to vote and Mandela was elected president.
Interestingly enough, in the 1980s, Mandela's ANC was "placed on America's official list of terrorist groups." He was known for criticizing the Iraq war and sided with Saddam Hussein. The National Review stated then that "his vicious anti-Americanism and support for Saddam Hussein should come as no surprise, given his longstanding dedication to communism and praise for terrorists."
Rumors have continued that Mandela was at the least a communist sympathizer. That may be due to the fact that, "In South Africa, it was the Soviet bloc—the same communist governments that were brutally repressing their own people—that helped the ANC fight apartheid."

"South Africa is about 40 years ahead of majority White countries, in terms of “anti-racism”. As we can see, first it starts with millions of non-Whites being encouraged into a White country; then comes the forced assimilation of said immigrants; then finally, when Whites become a minority it ends up much like South Africa…a system that turns against White people and ONLY White people in an attempt to wipe them out – genocide."

It would appear that maybe there is more to the growing movement of racism within the United States as well. We see it on an increasingly large scale and it goes all the way to the highest offices in the land. President Obama came out in defense of Trayvon Martin. Eric Holder's DOJ has done everything it can to support blacks even when they have broken the law as in the case of the New Black Panther members who had been tried and convicted with respect to their antics outside a polling precinct in Philly. Yet, they were never sentenced and their case just seemed to disappear.
The many cases of black on white crime where whites are severely injured or killed are rarely, if ever, charged as hate crimes. Yet, this is almost always the case when the races are reversed.
What has been happening in South Africa has been described as "post-racial" or "post-white." Apparently, white farmers in South Africa have come to understand that this is the real goal of any anti-racism campaign.


The above quote outlines how it happens.

1. Non-Whites are encouraged into a white country
2. Forced assimilation of those immigrants
3. Whites become the minority
4. System turns against whites

This is what has happened in South Africa and we see many Africans over the last several decades having emigrated to other countries; countries like Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, the United States. What do we see in these countries today? Great Britain is in upheaval, and the Netherlands has been and continues reeling from the things that have occurred there.
Here in the United States, it seems that our government has been deliberately bringing in as many non-whites as possible and they are immediately placed on public assistance. The doors are thrown open wide for them. Meanwhile, our government is doing what it can to shut down one business after another.

http://cdn.freedomoutpost.com/wp-con...or-300x188.png Look at the image with the quote to the right. Professor Jose Angel Gutierrez, who teaches at the University of Texas, has made that statement. Now, imagine if a white professor made that statement about blacks or Hispanics, or both. There would be outrage, but not when a Hispanic says it, and it's because of the hatred toward whites that's been building for years. It's become politically correct if you are not white, to present yourself as the victim of white apartheid (whether you have been or not).
This reactionary position that is touted by the Left, accepted by the media, and spread among minorities is the result of a Global Elite that wants change through societal unrest and disobedience. They'll take it any way they can get it, even brainwashing people into thinking that killing whites is the solution that must be utilized.
I used to think that the government wanted to take our guns away so that we couldn't resist the government. I still think that's true, but I am now realizing - based on the process that's unfolded in South Africa - that there is another reason to remove our guns. It will certainly make whites defenseless. In South Africa, the government has been working hard to make it impossible for white farmers to own guns. This makes them defenseless against marauding groups of ANC-empowered blacks.
In America, society has changed very quickly in the past eight to ten years. It's not just lawlessness that seems to abound. It's lawlessness with a vengeance and purpose. It is designed to take whites (as well as conservative minorities) out of the picture entirely.
The troubling thing about what I just said in this article is that while some will accuse me of fomenting racism, these same people will find no fault in the words of Professor Jose Angel Gutierrez and many others like him who really do want all white people dead. When you hear the phrase "anti-racist," it is code for "anti-white."
During a Red October Campaign march, one individual said, "Seventeen of our people are murdered every month by a black person. Now I can only imagine the international outcry if 17 black people a month were murdered by a white person."
Here's a quote from an individual who used to teach at the college level that pretty much sums up what the "anti-racist" movement is all about.

"And then finally I want to say that we need one idea, and we’re not thinking about a solution to the problem … And the one idea is, how we are going to exterminate White people because that in my estimation is the only conclusion I have come to. We have to exterminate white people off the face of the planet," - Kamau Kambon, former professor of African-American Studies

Think this is all garbage? Think it's overstated and created by insecure whites afraid of the bogey man? Then research it. Start here if you like.

NAACP leaders to open branch in South Africa


March 03, 1994|By James Bock | James Bock,Sun Staff Writer
A Soweto branch of the NAACP?
That will be one result of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's first high-level visit to South Africa, says the Rev. Benjamin F. Chavis Jr., the civil rights group's executive director.


http://articles.baltimoresun.com/images/pixel.gif
http://articles.baltimoresun.com/images/pixel.gif
A dozen-member NAACP delegation, headed by Dr. Chavis and board chairman Dr. William F. Gibson, left yesterday and will return March 7. The NAACP is based in Baltimore.
The group plans to meet today with Nelson Mandela, the African National Congress leader, who is expected to become president after South Africa's first multiracial election next month. Mr. Mandela addressed the NAACP annual convention last July.
The delegation hopes to meet tomorrow with Mangosuthu Buthelezi, the Zulu leader of the Inkatha Freedom Party, which had threatened to boycott the election.
Dr. Chavis said the NAACP would encourage black South Africans to forgo "black-on-black violence" and vote.
He said the group would also help lead a campaign to encourage Americans to invest in a black-run South Africa.
"For African-American children to be born into a world where an African-run government is a major industrial nation and a nuclear power would bode well," he said. "African-Americans need some good news."
The NAACP has 40 branches abroad in the Caribbean, Europe, Japan and South Korea. Most are linked to U.S. military bases.
The branch in Soweto, a black township outside Johannesburg, would be the group's first in Africa.
Dr. Chavis and Mr. Mandela have a relationship that dates to the 1970s. The men corresponded when the ANC leader was a political prisoner in South Africa and the NAACP chief was jailed in North Carolina.
Dr. Chavis' conviction in the firebombing of a white-owned grocery during a battle to desegregate the Wilmington, N.C., schools was later overturned.

Socialist International Congress Hosted by ANC Amid Genocide Alert

Written by Alex Newman
Monday, 10 September 2012 09:23

http://www.thenewamerican.com/media/...07564353_M.jpg

The powerful global alliance known as the Socialist International held its 24th Congress calling for bigger and more centralized global governance as well as more handouts from productive economies. Meanwhile, the summit host, South Africa’s ruling African National Congress (ANC), is facing mounting international pressure over the genocide of white farmers and its increasingly overt communist ambitions.

The meeting concluded by adopting various resolutions demanding more money from Western taxpayers, bigger and more powerful government at all levels, and, unsurprisingly, more socialism in the world. “The Socialist International is now stronger than ever before,” the group boasted on its website after the Congress, sometimes referring to its members as “comrades.”

Aside from the controversial resolutions, bragging about its growing influence, and platitudes about “democracy,” there was a lot going on at the summit as well. It featured representatives from over 100 socialist and communist-minded political parties all over the world ranging from the Sandinistas in Nicaragua and the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN) to European social democrats and Latin American statist extremists.

Communist-backed ANC South African President Jacob Zuma, who hosted the Congress and now regularly sings illegal songs calling for genocide against white South Africans, was elected as “vice president” on the “Presidium” of the controversial socialist alliance. His Deputy President, Kgalema Motlanthe, told delegates there was a “global crisis of capitalism and imperialism.”

Zuma, meanwhile, blasted the alleged "fundamental contradictions in the capitalist system," which he said needed to be addressed with "radical" so-called solutions. “We should emerge with radical positions and a radical agenda," added the controversial leader, who in addition to being an admitted member of the Communist Party has in the past been officially charged with massive-scale corruption and even rape. Ironically, one of his focuses at the Congress was “women.”

During a speech at the socialist Congress, Zuma said it was an honor to be allowed to host the summit “bringing together progressive forces from around the world,” Socialist International reported. The controversial ruler said the powerful socialist alliance should respond to “inequality” and other real and perceived problems — many caused by socialistic policies — with a “New Internationalism” and a “New Culture of Solidarity,” two main themes of the 24th Congress.

Even as Zuma and the ANC were celebrating socialism and calling for the death of what little remains of the free market, however, human-rights experts such as Dr. Gregory Stanton of Genocide Watch were sounding the alarm. In August, the widely respected non-profit group dedicated to stopping genocide warned about the ongoing genocidal killing of South African whites and the complete takeover by murderous communist forces associated with the ANC. The nation is now at stage six — planning and preparation — out of eight, with the final step being denial after the extermination.

"We are worried that there are organized groups that are in fact doing that planning," Dr. Stanton said in a recent press conference about the organized and barbaric massacres of white farmers throughout South Africa. "It became clear to us that the [ANC] Youth League was this kind of organization — it was planning this kind of genocidal massacre and also the forced displacement of whites from South Africa."

Few at the Socialist International conference were even thinking about those issues in their zeal to spread socialism around the world. However, the elephant in the room — the ANC’s alleged role in facilitating the ongoing slaughter of European-descent Afrikaners as it seeks total control over the once-prosperous nation — was hardly the only scandal looming large.

The summit, among other absurdities, featured speeches by representatives of the brutal communist dictatorship ruling mainland China and an assortment of other totalitarian regimes. “Vice-Minister of the International Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee” Liu Jieyi, for example, lectured assembled attendees on the “social democratic response to the financial crisis.”

The Chinese communist regime, of course, is notorious for mass-murder, censorship, forced abortions, failed central planning, political prisons, brutal suppression of religion, harvesting body organs from critics, and more. Delegates celebrated its increasing influence on the world stage as part of the socialist-minded BRICS alliance consisting of the governments ruling Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.

Then there was blatant adoration of the scandal-plagued United Nations bordering on the unbelievable. The newly elected Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, referred to the UN as the “the greatest collective achievement of human kind” during her keynote speech.

Dlamini-Zuma also spoke of the “importance of multilateralism.” She claimed that “humanity” could find “solutions to common problems” if only the world’s largely totalitarian regimes would just “cooperate more” — presumably through the UN, the corrupt African Union, the imploding European Union, and other multilateral bodies.

Even as the new African Union boss was celebrating the UN with Socialist International, however, scandals surrounding the controversial institution continued to grow as well. Some of the more recent UN problems blasted by critics around the world include sex crimes committed by its troops around the world, helping the communist Chinese dictatorship perpetrate forced abortions, handing U.S. technology to the regimes ruling Iran and North Korea, installing Sudanese mass-murderer Omar al-Bashir on the “Human Rights Council,” and much more.

As if the apparent comic lunacy could not get more bizarre, Socialist International unanimously re-elected as its president the former Socialist Prime Minister of Greece, George Papandreou, despite his central role in all-but destroying the Greek economy. Papandreou opened the 24th Congress by thanking its communist-backed host, the ANC, even as genocide fears continue to mount and the South African economy implodes.

Incredibly, after wrecking the Greek economy, Papandreou proposed a similar prescription for the world: more socialism. He claimed, for example, that the “market” should be “remodeled to serve the common good and to the benefit and freedom of all the population,” Socialist International reported on its website. The disgraced former Socialist ruler did not specifically say whether or not his policies as the Prime Minister of now-bankrupt Greece should serve as the global model.

However, Papandreou had plenty of excuses for the problems, blaming the stunning collapse of the Greek economy and the subsequent need for bailouts on citizens refusing to pay enough taxes. He called it “plain robbery” because refusing to hand over more money to the bankrupt state was denying the government money it could have spent on more welfare schemes.

Also to blame for the Greek tragedy, according to Papandreou, was the fact that Greeks were investing their money outside of Greece in supposed “tax havens.” He called for international “regulation” of so-called “tax havens,” generally sovereign countries that offer lower tax rates and are sometimes used to hide money from governments.

Of course, like all socialist rulers, Papandreou said his predecessors were partly to blame for Greece’s implosion, too. "We were a mismanaged country and when I took over the whole country was burdened with a huge deficit and debt, that was of course because we had easy lending, and bad governance of it," he added.

Socialist International adopted a wide range of resolutions at the 24th Congress. Most called for more government at all levels, bigger welfare schemes, wealth redistribution, and other socialist programs. Despite the controversies surrounding its host and other members, however, the organization continues to expand its influence.

President Obama appointed a senior Socialist International official, Carol Browner, as his administration’s so-called “climate czar.” He also recently presented the Medal of Freedom to Dolores Huerta of Democratic Socialists of America, a member of Socialist International with deep ties to Obama.

More recently, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was in South Africa praising the ANC and pledging billions of dollars to its regime. And if supporters of liberty and free markets do not resist, the influence of Socialist International and its members such as the ANC will only continue to expand — along with the devastation associated with socialism.

Eric Holder protects the New Black Panthers. Is he a member himself?

Amid Genocide Alert, Racist New Black Panthers Hit South Africa

Written by Alex Newman
Thursday, 21 March 2013 15:30


http://www.thenewamerican.com/media/...886304bc_M.jpg

Even as the world’s most prominent expert on genocidewarns that South Africa’s European-descent Afrikaner population is on the verge of government-linked extermination, the virulently racist U.S.-based “New Black Panther Party” has a delegation visiting the so-called “Rainbow nation” — a country now ruled by a president who openly sings about murdering whites. The NBPP and its leadership have regularly called for genocide against white South Africans as well, so critics of the visit are expressing alarm, concerned that the officially recognized hate group is agitating for further ethnic cleansing while collaborating with genocidal elements within the regimes ruling South Africa and Zimbabwe.

On the NBPP’s official website, the New Black Panthers boast about their “historic” trip to Marxist-ruled Zimbabwe and South Africa, which the anti-white and anti-Semitic organization refers to as “Azania.” During broadcasted conference calls about the visit posted online, members and leaders of the group were caught plotting to accelerate the elimination of European-descent South Africans from their homeland. On the call, participants claimed they would "raise up a black army" and offer military training, bragging about collaborating with people who have murdered whites and calling for more racist killings.

The NBPP did not return a request for comment from The New American. However, according to a statement released online, the vaguely outlined purposes of the visit apparently include creating a better future as well as uniting African and black countries. In reality, as the group’s publicly available radio shows and frequent genocidal remarks demonstrate, the true purpose of the ongoing visit is more likely to help pursue the ultimate extermination of all European-descent Africans from the region.

The official NBPP statement, which was filled with spelling and grammar mistakes, also indicated that the “home coming visit” was being coordinated with the All-African People's Revolutionary Party (A-APRP) and brutal dictator Robert Mugabe’s “Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front” (ZANU–PF). The socialist so-called “Pan African Congress” also played a role in arranging the trip, which includes NBPP members from various countries including the United States and goes from March 19 until the 27th.

“This is not just a visit but a historic journey that may UNITE AFRICAN/BLACK Nation's [sic],” the group said on its website. “It is a visit in which, 20 and 30 years from now, men and women will speak about it and write of it [sic]. To all my brothers and sisters we ask each and everyone [sic] of you to give your full support to make this historic journey a success, wherever you are, support us spiritually, physically, especially financially [sic] if you can please contact and Support the Revolutionary Roots tour 2013 [sic].”

Critics and Afrikaner activists, however, are frightened by the “historic” visit, pointing to the NBPP’s history of calling for the extermination of whites — something that, according to Genocide Watch, is already in the planning phases in South Africa, probably with official help from the ruling African National Congress (ANC) and South African Communist Party (SACP) regime. In Zimbabwe, white farmers have already been eliminated under the Mugabe regime, oftentimes enduring barbaric torture and even murder as the despot and his minions sought to “redistribute” the wealth. Today, the nation is starving to death, dependent on international aid after the economy imploded.

As late as last year, the NBPP were openly calling for genocide against white South Africans on the radio. “We give them 24 hours in South Africa to get out of town by sundown. I say, if they don’t get out of town, we kill the men, we kill the women, we kill the children, we kill the babies, we kill the blind, we kill the cripple,” former NBPP National Chairman Khalid Muhammad, who led the group until his death in 2001, said in a speech that was re-broadcasted by the organization on its radio program as late as August of last year. “I say God d[***]it we kill them all.... If they are white, kill ’em all.”

Muhammad, who worked for Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam prior to assuming power at the NBPP, also explained why he thought white woman and children needed to be murdered, too. “Why kill the women? Why kill the babies? They are just innocent blue-eyed babies? Because God d[***]it they are going to grow up one day to rule your babies. Kill them now,” he fumed. “Why kill the women in South Africa? I say kill the women because the women are the military manufacturing center, and every nine months they lay down on their backs and reinforcement rolls out from between their legs. So shut down the military manufacturing center by killing the white woman.”

Of course, even before the NBPP arrived in Southern Africa, opponents of the visit were trying desperately to halt it. A petition to deny visas to the delegates was signed by hundreds of South Africans. The petition cited NBPP statements about the true purpose of its visit: “To ignite the continent in self-determination and drive out blood sucking colonizers robbing our motherland.” Other critics pointed to NBPP claims that the mission was to bring the late chairman’s vision — genocide of all whites, many of whose descendants arrived there hundreds of years ago — to fruition.

Friends for Humanity, a U.S.-based non-profit human rights group dedicated to raising awareness about the genocidal preparations in South Africa, said it “strongly objects” to the “revolutionary tour” by NBPP members. “Their deliberate hate speech and incitement to murder towards the already-marginalized European minority in South Africa should not be tolerated,” co-founder Sonia Hruska, a former consultant for the Mandela administration, told The New American on behalf of the group. “The European minority in South Africa is already facing level 6 out of 8 on the genocide scale [developed by Genocide Watch] and is also subjected to the ANC regime’s second transition, which is defined as a radical call to finalize ‘economic freedom.’ ”

Hruska pointed to the vicious ANC-Communist Party government-mandated discrimination faced by the European minority in business, trade, employment, education, and more. “Their defense mechanisms have been removed through disarmament and the removal of the effective policing structures that protected them, which places them in grave danger of being tortured and attacked,” she added, saying that especially troubling is the NBPP’s declared goal of exterminating whites. “This incitement to genocide cannot be tolerated and we wish to call on readers to take action to boycott and condemn this visit.”

Thousands of South African families, Hruska continued, “are already mourning the brutal torture, rape and murder of family members as per the New Black Panther vision.” She also pointed out that NBPP members in South Africa are calling for the use of brutal tactics to bring about Khalid Muhammad’s vision of genocide including barbaric, unimaginable torture.

“It is unthinkable that people want to practice such inhumane torture methods, but unfortunately it is already in use and many European-minority victims and their families can attest to that,” Hruska explained, referring to the barbaric terrorism being perpetrated against white South Africans. “We have a collective responsibility to eradicate such behavior, starting by strongly objecting to such incitement of genocide and by refusing to accept this in any form.”

International Afrikaner Society President Hannes Louw echoed those remarks in a statement to The New American. “Today Afrikaners are not only being tortured, raped and brutally murdered but they also victims of a well-coordinated set of actions aimed at the destruction of the essential foundations of Afrikaner life in South Africa,” Louw said. “The objectives of this Afrikanercide are the disintegration of political and social institutions, of culture, of language, of economic existence, the destruction of the personal security, liberty, dignity, and ultimately extermination of Afrikaner people in South Africa.”

Louw said the society has taken note that the racist NBPP’s goal is to fulfill the legacy of its former chairman — the total extermination of all whites in Southern Africa, as he himself declared. Given the history of the political groups in South Africa and Zimbabwe that organized this excursion, Louw wondered if the visit might be related to the ongoing targeted extermination of innocent and predominantly white Christian Afrikaners. Based on the NBPP’s own statements, most analysts assume that it is.

“Edmund Burke’s observation that all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing is still very relevant today,” the International Afrikaner Society chief said. “We call on all Americans and Afrikaners alike, familiarize yourselves with the situation in South Africa and take action to stop the evil that is currently taking place in what was once the light of Africa.”

Of course, South Africans are not the only ones dealing with NBPP problems. After the shooting of Trayvon Martin in Florida, for example, the group threatened to start a race war and murder white Americans simply because of the color of their skin. Before that, the group’s members were caught on video violating federal law by standing outside of polling places with weapons and intimidating voters — a crime that drew outrage from across the political spectrum when Attorney General Eric Holder’s Justice Department refused to prosecute it.

“The NBPP is a recognized hate group that is explicitly anti-Semitic and anti-white,” explained the federal U.S. Commission on Civil Rights in a 2010 report entitled Race Neutral Enforcement of the Law? DOJ and the New Black Panther Party Litigation. “Party members often appear in public wearing paramilitary uniforms and carrying weapons. According to Party rules, all panthers must learn to operate and service weapons correctly. In addition, officials are given military titles and the Party advocates armed struggle and violence against its enemies.”

As Zimbabwe continues its brutal descent into ruin, it appears that Mugabe, the NBPP, and powerful elements of the South African ruling establishment hope to see the same phenomenon in South Africa. The ANC-Communist Party regime has become famous for murdering its black opponents in the most barbaric ways imaginable. Meanwhile, many thousands of European-descent Africans — especially farmers, who are being targeted with increasing ferocity and regularity — have already been massacred since 1994. If the NBPP and its racist allies get their way, the rest will soon follow.

WASHINGTON SECRETS

Study: Blacks with white friends are 'less black'

BY PAUL BEDARD |
MARCH 21, 2014 AT 2:22 PM

http://cdn.washingtonexaminer.biz/ca...3968ba48c1.jpg

Former Washington, D.C., mayor and current city councilmember Marion Barry, left, embraces Mayor...When Washington, D.C., councilman and former Mayor Marion Barrythis week said that whites need to be “more open-minded” about African-American politicians, claiming “blacks are more open-minded than” whites, he was suggesting that whites can't do what blacks do -- embrace the other race.

But a new study of 212 black college students made available to Secrets found little open-mindedness: Blacks don't like it when other blacks associate with whites, to the point of refusing help to an African-American experiencing “a run of bad luck” -- just because they have white friends.

The study in the April edition of the authoritative journal Social Psychological and Personality Science found the so-called “black code” alive and kicking, prompting blacks far more than whites to frown on one of their own if they associate with the other race.

“Having cross-race friends made black [examples] seem ‘less black,’” wrote two psychology scholars in their study of students at an unnamed historically black college. “However, having cross-race friends did not necessarily make white [examples] seem ‘more black.’”

Authors Leslie Ashburn-Nardo of Indiana University-Purdue University Indiana and James D. Johnson of the University of the South Pacific said the findings could undermine efforts by blacks to push into the corporate world if they are concerned about how their African American friends perceive them. The reason: “Their success will inevitably involve close associations with whites.”

They wrote: “Blacks sometimes strategically imply that they have connections to whites in an effort to increase their probability of success in the corporate world. Doing so may be a means of distancing themselves from negative group stereotypes or perhaps a ‘disarming mechanism’ to enhance their acceptability in the eyes of white employers or colleagues. Regardless of motive, such strategic out-group alignment may put blacks at risk for identity denial from fellow in-group members.”

The study tested the “black code,” in which “relationships with whites must be kept at arm’s length maintaining a silent us against them mindset. Blacks who appear too friendly and comfortable around whites are viewed with suspicion; their blackness in question.”

It looked at how the 1,200 black college students perceived racial identity of blacks with white friends, and also their empathy for blacks facing hardship who have white friends.

The study found that the perceived racial identity of blacks with white friends dropped significantly. For whites with black friends, the differences were small.

Testing empathy, the study offered somebody facing a “run of bad luck.” It found that the black students had far less empathy for a black person with white friends than a black person person with only black friends. “Violating the ‘black code’ undermined the often-observed robust effect of shared group membership on empathy,” said the study.

The study is the first to spin off of others that have found that multi-racial people face discrimination from blacks for having white friends and associates.

“Having cross-race friends elicited identity denial,” they wrote. “Although previous research largely focused on identity denial for multiracial or multinational targets, this research suggests that it can occur more broadly among black Americans who are seen by in-group members to have aligned themselves too closely with the advantaged white out-group.”
