Brother Nathanael: The Jewish journalist, Jonah Goldberg, wrote an article last week for the LA Times titled “Glenn Beck’s Ecumenical Moment” in praise of Beck’s rally in DC. What are your thoughts on this?
Kevin MacDonald PhD: First of all, before I get to Goldberg, the massive crowds of White people that came to Beck’s rally who are worried about their future as “Whites” are being lulled to sleep by this new Elmer Gantry.
All that implicit Whiteness showed up with no place to go. When Whites put on a rally for an overwhelmingly White constituency, they feel a need to pledge allegiance to America as not really having an ethnic identity.
Hence the need for a flood of non-White speakers that Beck waltzed out onto the stage.
As for Goldberg, he displayed his true Jewish intent by being thrilled that Beck isn’t hitting on the real issues that are causing deep anxiety and anger among Whites.
