What’s Up With White Women—And White Men?
Since I began writing for VDARE.com, FrontPageMagazine.com, and American Enterprise.com in 2001, there is one article that has been more often quoted than any other: What’s Up With White Women? (It appeared on FrontPageMag May 18, 2001, but is no longer available on in its website). There is something in this article that has been considered fundamentally important by authors with such diverse approaches to as Pat Buchanan (The Death of the West, pp. 155-156), Robert Spencer (The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and the Crusades pp. 177-179 and Religion of Peace pp. 2-3), and most recently, Michael Medved (The 10 Big Lies About America, pp. 9-10).
My original article was meant to call attention to the fact that the attitude of white women in America is an indication of where the country stands—and, specifically, where white men stand. As an American Indian, I had occasion to recognize this in a way that apparently spoke very deeply to white men in this country who are concerned about the future.
White men don’t stand in a very good place, according to many white women. White men have failed.
This article came about as the result of a simple exchange between myself and a white female student, back when I was teaching at Oklahoma State University (Oklahoma City campus). It began:
“Look, Dr, Yeagley, I don’t see anything about my culture to be proud of. It’s all nothing. My race is just nothing.”
The girl was white. She was tall and pretty, with amber hair and brown eyes. For convenience’ sake, let’s call her ‘Rachel.’
I had been leading a class on social psychology, in which we discussed patriotism – what it means to be a people or a nation. The discussion had been quite lively. But when Rachel spoke, everyone fell silent.
“Look at your culture,” she said to me. “Look at American Indian tradition. Now I think that’s really great. You have something to be proud of. My culture is nothing.”
“You’re not proud to be American?” I asked.
“Oh, I’m happy to be American, but I’m not proud of how America came about.”
Her choice of words was telling. She was “happy” to be an American. But not “proud” of it.
On one level, I wasn’t surprised. I knew the head of our American History department at Oklahoma State University-OKC, and I recognized his hackneyed liberal jargon in Rachel’s words. She had taken one of his courses, with predictable results.
Yet, I was still stunned. Her words disturbed and offended me in a way that I could not quite enunciate.
I could hardly concentrate the rest of the day. I lay awake that night thinking about what she had said.
“Rachel”, I called her, said that she was ashamed of American culture. She essentially denied that there was any. On the other hand, she extolled me and American Indian people for the honorable culture of Indian Country, and the fact that it is still here.
I found this astounding, and deeply disturbing.

I once knew an Amerindian who was deeply insulted that alot young white European people hate their culture. To him it was a matter of how it reflected on his own people. To him it was a slap in the face, like these young naive brainwashed leftists were not giving his people enough credit for resisting although ultimately being defeated by a mighty foe. To say that their culture, their race was nothing, meant that also his people by default were defeated by nothing.
There is no reason why white people should be ashamed of who they are and the only reason that this malaise exists about themselves today is because of decades of effective browbeating by the controlled media, government and anti white organizations. There would not even be a United States of America without European peoples and should our people pass from history this nation will cease to exist as it was founded by our forefathers. To the leftists this will be just fine. They have hated America and the ideals of freedom and self reliance for a very long time, but to everyone else, and indeed the rest of humanity, this will be a nightmare. America has always been a beakon of hope to the rest of the world, when it goes out, and it WILL! the human race is not likely to ever recover again from the darkness.
