“Is rapid population [growth] by as great importations of foreigners as possible founded in good policy? They will bring with them the principles of the governments they leave, imbibed in their early youth; or, if able to throw them off, it will be in exchange for an unbounded licentiousness, passing, as is usual, from one extreme to another. It would be a miracle were they to stop precisely at the point of temperate liberty. These principles, with their language, they will transmit to their children. In proportion to their number, they will share with us the legislation. They will infuse into it their spirit, warp and bias its direction, and render it a heterogeneous, incoherent, distracted mass. If they come of themselves, they are entitled to all the rights of citizenship: but I doubt the expediency of inviting them by extraordinary encouragements.” – Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782
The Editors’ Quote of the Day:
I’m always amazed when I read quotes of our founding fathers. They were visionaries, wayyy ahead of their time.
They really were visionaries. The founders were the first “white nationalists” and the whole “nation of immigrants” poem on the Statue of Liberty was added 14 years after the statue was made. Oh and the poem wasn’t even written by an American haha go figure!
The Founding Fathers were not white nationalists. Their goal was to recognize our country’s sovereignty. They believed in freedom for all from government; not white countries are better. Stop distorting history.
As a side note, why are the white nationalist coming out in droves on preppier websites. As a person in a interracial marriage I find the racist speech disgusting. I have no fault with someone wanting to preserve their culture, their history. I do take issue that one race is superior to another. Culture is superior to other cultures, not race.
>Implying culture doesn’t equal race
