PART 1
You realize you are not supposed to
ask these questions as an American (United Statesian more accurately), more especially for any of those that are products of most American secondary public schools (institutes of indoctrination). That is why most American public secondary (high schools) schools have fill-in-the-blank homework and exams rather than contrast and comparison essays for assignments and exams.
An American mind is trained to emotionally respond to a given cue. All cultures do this more or less but it is particularly pronounced among Americans with their sports teams two party political system.
That is why I say the last thing the two parties should do if they want to retain a slave master grip over the minds of their subjects is to teach philosophy and economics to
all students. Philosophy even more than science teaches critical thinking skills. Science is taught like theology, you are given as unquestionable fact the constructural blocks in which to use to resolve any problem. You can not question those blocks (tools, concepts) given you in their capacity to resolve the dilemma.
I personally hate
doing philosophy but I do respect it as a field that supposedly seeks to endow man with greater wisdom. It is not unsurprising the people that question various aspects of the natural sciences the most are not religious people but
atheist into philosophy.
The modern nation-state is a relatively new thing in human history. One characteristic of it is clearly defined, invisible, lines of state boundaries. So, Trump could have a wall built along that invisible line along Mexico which is clearly measured, as opposed to a general region that is more or less understood to be part of Mexico or part of the USA (which could lead to disputes itself).
In Afrocentric university courses, within the social science of Africology, the term "nations" are used in place of "ethnicity." So, in those courses it is taught that the United States is a country
made up of many nations. A nation has certain characteristics, it shares a common language, it shares a common religion, and it may or may not have similar phenotypic features.
This is not an incorrect use of the word nation but in fact a very old and venerable use of the word nation. In a thread in the religious forum I think I pointed out that
Catholicism, traditional Catholicism that is, has viewed itself as the fulfillment of ancient Judaism with Christ, and in fact are the
nation of Israelites extended into non-Hebrew peoples. The nation of ancient Israelites were supposedly mostly Hebrews but supposedly with some non-Hebrew ethnic people as part of them.
The Coptic Orthodox which I will eventually convert to
are a nation. But they are not a state. They are more a
nation than ethnic Black-Americans who are technically in Africology viewed as one of the distinct nations within the United States of America. But I would say ethnic Black-Americans have become increasingly more and more divided over the years, particularly over "shared values." Once upon a time the Protestant religion, particularly the "Black Church," formed the basic foundation of Black-Americas shared values. That no longer is true today. The Democratic Party controls their minds by a major extent. Maybe rap music controls the remainder of their minds, I don't know.
Ethnic Jews, often divided on shared values themselves, are a nation. But up until the formation of the State of Israel they had no statehood, they were like Black-Americans and European Roma (Gypsies) and the Coptic Orthodox Christians in that sense. Statehoodless.
The problem with "white nationalism" is not merely its connection to white supremacy but its logical incoherency with the white nations of the past. There was no single "white nation." The white nations were diverse and made up of many nations, or ethnicities if you prefer, such as the Italians, Portuguese, Dutch, Russians, Polish, Scottish, the English and so forth. And those white nations warred ferociously with one another for centuries.
"White nationalism" is more a recent construct in human history born out of white supremacy in the colonized worlds of the Americas in particular. White people colonized the whole earth but I think white nationalism really grew out of the Americas, particularly the United States of America. The Germans probably picked up on it later.
Anyways, in PART 2 I'll provide an academically approved philosophy website for source citing.
