Will the Real Tucker Carlson Please Stand Up?

By Martin Kerr

TUCKER CARLSON WAS FIRED from Fox News on April 24 on short notice. Since then, pro-White circles and the mainstream media alike have been a-buzz speculating on the reason or reasons that he was so unceremoniously let go. For the anti-Whites on both the Left and the Right, it is a given that Tucker is a hardcore racist, and that that was a key factor in his dismissal. Yet, among the pro-Whites, a debate rages on just how much of a “racist” Carlson really is. Confusing the matter are his own words, which sometimes seem pro-White, while on other occasions are explicitly hostile to any form of pro-White racial consciousness.

Let’s let Tucker speak for himself. Here is a partial transcript of remarks which he made in a podcast with sympathetic interviewer Adam Corolla earlier in April, before his dismissal:

I will say this, if I could just make one prediction. So the United States is becoming nonwhite. Everyone’s excited about it. Or if you’re not excited about it, it doesn’t matter. Whites are going to be in the minority. So what that means — soon — so what that means is, you’re gonna get, at some point, probably in my lifetime, people standing up and saying, “I represent white people! I’m the candidate of the white voter!”

And I just wanna say, on the record, that I’m gonna tell that person to fuck off. Because nobody speaks — I’m a, I’m an adult man, and nobody speaks for me ’cause he shares the same skin color as me. I just reject that entire idea. If I agree with you, I’ll let you speak for me, and if I don’t, I won’t. But this idea that someone of a certain skin color, any skin color, or any ethnic background speaks automatically on behalf of all people who share that skin color or ethnic background is a Nazi idea, and I’m totally opposed to it. And I will be opposed to it when it happens to me. When some — this will happen — someone’s gonna, “Oh, white people!” And I’ll be like, “I don’t even know you, dude. I don’t even know you. I refuse to allow you to purport to speak for me ’cause we look the same, period.”

Well, I mean, the whole thing, everything about it is shocking to me, including the fact that people put up with it. The endless attacks on the whites, and I’m not defending whites — plenty of them, in fact, most of the people who annoy me are white, okay — but to attack any group as a group is by definition, like, a Nazi move.

Let us summarize: (1) Carlson is aware that White people are being systematically replaced in the US, but (2) he doesn’t care. (3) Further, he rejects the notion that Whites share any common interests, because White people don’t have anything in common other than their skin color, which he deems irrelevant. (4) He also rejects any leader who may arise seeking to defend White racial interests. (5) To do so, says is a “Nazi idea.” He says this twice (in slightly different wording), just so people know that Carlson is not just non-Nazi, but is, in fact, completely anti-Nazi.

So noted, Tucker, and we will surely keep that in mind!

He is right, of course, that thinking in racial terms and defending the interests of White people is at the core of National Socialism. In assigning a negative value to pro-White racial consciousness, however, he damns himself with his own words (even if he does not seem to be aware of it).

So there we have it, right? Tucker Carlson does not consider himself to be a White racist. But not so fast! Here is a text which he purportedly sent on January 7, 2021 (note the date), in which he takes an explicitly pro-White stance (our emphasis):

A couple of weeks ago, I was watching video of people fighting on the street in Washington. A group of Trump guys surrounded an Antifa kid and started pounding the living shit out of him. It was three against one, at least. Jumping a guy like that is dishonorable obviously. It’s not how white men fight. Yet suddenly I found myself rooting for the mob against the man, hoping they’d hit him harder, kill him. I really wanted them to hurt the kid. I could taste it. Then somewhere deep in my brain, an alarm went off: this isn’t good for me. I’m becoming something I don’t want to be. The Antifa creep is a human being. Much as I despise what he says and does, much as I’m sure I’d hate him personally if I knew him, I shouldn’t gloat over his suffering. I should be bothered by it. I should remember that somewhere somebody probably loves this kid, and would be crushed if he was killed. If I don’t care about those things, if I reduce people to their politics, how am I better than he is?

Here, Carlson (1) clearly identifies himself as a White man, (2) identifies Trump supporters as fellow Whites, and (3) claims that Whites normally behave with superior morality to anti-Whites (here represented by Antifa). There is no talk about “skin color” being the only characteristic that separates the races, and, indeed, skin color is not even mentioned.

Some in the media claim that it was specifically this comment in the text that led to Carlson being fired. (Personally, I do not think that he was dismissed for any single thing he said, but rather for the cumulative effect of his words and stances over a period of years.)

So what are we, as National Socialists, to make of all this? Is Tucker Carlson pro-White or not?

If we take his words in the two lengthy passages cited here as being truthful reflections of his thoughts, the logical conclusion is that he is, at the least, racially neurotic, and possibly racially schizophrenic. In this he would be like many, many American Whites: in his heart he feels one way, but the face he presents to public, guided by his intellect, is entirely the opposite. His racial instincts tell him that Whites are honorable and should hold themselves to a higher standard of behavior than their enemies. But he tells his audience that race does not exist (apart from skin color) and he rejects the very idea that White people have any collective interests.

This type of racial neurosis is all-to-common among the White population these days. Ideally, what someone feels in their heart, what they think in their brain, what they say in public, and how they behave should all line up. Such consistency is the hallmark of a healthy, integrated personality. But Tucker Carlson does not have such a personality, and so he is racially defective and unreliable.

Over the past years, the effect of Carlson’s commentaries has been largely beneficial to the White population. He has said things that others in the media have dared not say, and he has called attention to topics others have willfully ignored. And, like Donald Trump, he has “all the right enemies.” But until he gets his inner life straightened out, and accepts the biological and spiritual realities of race, we cannot say that he is on our side.

Addendum: What It Means to ‘Fight White’

I understand, even if the talking bobbleheads of the media do not, what Tucker Carlson means when he says, “that’s not how White men fight.”

He and I are both part of the same generation, and presumably were taught similar values by our fathers and other adult males when it comes to fighting. We were instructed, through words and example, that there was an honorable way to fight another man. This was called “fighting fair” and it was indeed the way White men fought. There were simply things that you did not do in a fight:

1. All fights should be one-on-one. If you have a beef with another male, the two of you should settle it with each other, and your friends and observers must not participate.
2. You do not attack another man without warning. That is called a “sneak attack” or “sucker punch.” Nor do you attack another man from behind.
3. You do not kick or stomp on a fallen opponent. The goal of a fight is to assert dominance over your opponent, not to kill or to maim him.
4. No biting, eye gouging or striking the groin.
5. Kicking was frowned upon; “that’s how girls fight” we were told. Likewise, no scratching, pinching or hair-pulling – these were all considered feminine and unmanly.
6. You don’t strike women.
7. You do not use a weapon if your opponent is unarmed.
8. The fight is over when one opponent gives up, or if he is unable to continue. You do not continue to beat someone who is no longer able to defend himself.

I understand that things change over time. The rise of mixed martial arts has now made kicking more permissible, for example. But the other rules are more or less in effect, one hopes.

We knew, back in the days in which I was growing up, that these guidelines only applied when White boys fought each other. If you had to fight a Black or a Puerto Rican, you should not expect any of the niceties listed above to apply. And even among Whites, there were low-lives who would not fight honorably. I remember one neighborhood tough, a White youngster from an otherwise respectable family, Jerry V., whom we all knew “fought like a nigger.” We avoided being around him whenever possible.

In 1991, I had a conversation with two brothers who attended a racially mixed middle school in Gaithersburg, Maryland. One told me of a common schoolyard chant,

A fight! A fight! A nigger and a White!

If the White don’t win, we all jump in!

Such an attitude reflects the reality of racial struggle in the real world. If you are forced to fight non-Whites, do not expect them to “fight White.” Adjust your values and defend yourself accordingly.
