White separatism is a separatist political movement that seeks separate
economic and
cultural development for "
white people." White separatists generally claim
genetic affiliation with Anglo-Saxon cultures, Nordic cultures, or other white
European cultures, but not, obviously, the
evil darkies of their predecessors. Some also affiliate with white ethnic cultures that developed outside of Europe, like the
Neo-Confederates and
Boer-Afrikaner Nationalists. Advocates of racial separatism say that separatism differs from racial supremacy in that separatists
believe that all races and ethnic groups have the right to develop their own culture separately and any race should not dominate another. They argue that racial differences are "
important" and they strongly oppose
miscegenation.
Randy Weaver claimed to be a white separatist rather than a white supremacist.
In reality the only difference is one of semantics and the views held are similar whether they call themselves white separatists, nationalists, or supremacists. At the end of the day, "white separatism" is a code phrase used by people whose views are indistinguishable from white nationalism or white supremacy but who want to distance themselves from the latter terms. It fools no one.
