When Nixon built a “Soul City ” for the blacks; the effective, tough-love solution to the American black problem

My father knew Richard Nixon well, and also Ronald Reagan. Both, discreetly, had a very low opinion of blacks in terms of IQ and work ethic. But unlike National Socialists, they refused (racial pun not intended) to “call a spade a spade.”

Any WN knows how this article by  a white moderate or libtard will turn out. The black-run enterprise will fail — miserably, at great expense toi whites — and then many excuses will be offered.

I remember when short, dark little Vietnamese came flooding into America after 1975, when the Vietnam War ended in a US withdrawal/defeat, and they sure were a different race from the whites, and their English was execrable, coming right off the boat or plane.

.

But within ten years they were wealthy via sheer hard work, study, family values and good brains. While I was at Georgetown University, in Washington DC, the Vietnamese were fanning out all over Arlington, Virginia, right across the river.

I offer some closing comments after this article, and the solution.

***

In the early 1970s, African Americans in North Carolina coalesced around constructing a new community where the mission was black empowerment. And they were able to pull it off with financing from President Richard Nixon.

The hip-hop radio ads coming out of Ben Carson’s presidential campaign this week, to much laughter and derision, represent what Republican outreach to African Americans often looks like these days. But there was a time when Republicans took diversifying their base much more seriously. In the early 1970s, even President Richard Nixon’s administration, with its uniquely conservative, “law and order” bent, experienced what Ohio State University professor Devin Fergus calls “paroxysms of progressivism.” Such progressive spurts from the Nixon administration were responsible for producing the Environmental Protection Agency, the Clean Water Act ”and Soul City.Soul City was a project dreamed up by the civil rights activist Floyd McKissick. The fact that it went forward with financial assistance from Nixon represented one of the disgraced president’s “lapsed moments of liberalism,” as Fergus calls it in his 2010 Journal of Policy History article, “Black Power, Soft Power.” The idea was a city built for African Americans (though not exclusively), steered by black interests, and funded upfront by the federal government. It was, in essence, a request for the federal government to make good on the unrealized 40 acres and a mule promise made to African Americans emancipated from slavery. And President Nixon was all for it.
.
Soul City still exists today in North Carolina, right near the Virginia border, but it never became the racial Xanadu McKissick sold it as. A number of problems contributed to its failures, many of them beyond city planners’ control. A look back at the rise and fall of Soul City offers a number of lessons useful today when considering what’s at stake when targeted federal funding is deployed to address problems that are racial or social in nature.

The deal for a black city made between McKissick and Nixon was, by all appearances, political. McKissick switched parties in the late 1960s to support Nixon for president, which was a surprise given his civil rights and labor union credentials. As president of the Congress of Racial Equality throughout the ˜60s, McKissick shifted the civil rights organization’s mission from nonviolent tactics to Black Powerdoctrine. After the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., McKissick came to believe that even violent self-defense was inadequate for African Americans to realize real empowerment. He began pushing the idea that African Americans needed a strategy built squarely on capitalism to counter the entrenched racism that fueled urban neglect and the destitute conditions of black neighborhoods.

To this end, McKissick began in 1969 drafting the plans for Soul City, which would be a place where African Americans would not be regularly subjected to racial discrimination, and where they could determine their own political and economic destinies. The city would grow through a regiment of intensive workforce training aimed at boosting the entrepreneurial zeal of its residents, a “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” strategy made popular in the early 20th century by Booker T. Washington.

McKissick had first taken his vision to outgoing President Lyndon B. Johnson, who gave it lip service, but candidate Nixon ate it up whole. When Nixon reached the White House in 1969, McKissick had a shovel-ready plan for Soul City that he’d created alongside black MIT grad Harvey Gantt, a giant in architecture and urban planning circles and the eventual first African-American mayor of Charlotte, North Carolina. The city would be developed over a few thousand acres of land in Warren County, North Carolina, a poor, rural region that was quickly growing poorer due to the steady hemorrhaging of residents fleeing the South in search of economic and social opportunity.For McKissick, the overstuffing of Northern urban enclaves was at the heart of the problem of racial tension and urban unrest. With Soul City, he touted the co-benefit of creating a place that could absorb African-American migration while keeping them in the South. As he once said at a press conference, “The roots of the urban crisis are in the migratory pattern of rural people seeking to leave areas of economic and racial oppression. ¦ So in building a new city in a rural area, we help to solve this.”The Washington Post wrote in 1972 that Soul City was “perhaps the most vital experiment yet in this country’s halting struggle against the cancer of hectic urbanization.”

That year, McKissick had wrangled $14 million from the Nixon administration to get the Soul City party started, making him officially the first African American to develop a new city with federal funding. The funds were awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, through a program designed to help build 14 new towns around the nation. The primary mission for these new towns was to help decongest cities. McKissick’s Soul City was chosen as one of those new towns, and he raised additional $6 million from other federal and state agencies that were interested in making it a success.

(Black Enterprise)

Given the for blacks, by blacks mission of Soul City, the public investment served essentially as reparations, or at least a security deposit for reparations. The political landscape of the time ”sullen from the assassinations of King and Robert F. Kennedy ”was more sympathetic to racial causes and conducive to making amends. Cities were still riding the federally subsidized waves of the New Deal and Great Society eras. Much of those federal windfalls skipped right past African Americans, though, and Nixon was willing to pick up some of that slack by handing out grants to enterprising African Americans, especially if it meant bringing the Republican Party more black votes.

Nixon aide Robert Brown referred to this strategy as “grantsmanship,” and it fell in line with the advice Nixon was receiving from people like Daniel Patrick Moynihan, whom Nixon had appointed his urban affairs counselor. While Nixon was concerned about the “Soul City” tag sounding perhaps too much like black militancy, McKissick was adamant about keeping the name, telling The Black Scholar journal in defense of his vision, “We need not justify any demands for ˜separatism’ to anybody white. ¦ The real separatists moved to the suburbs long ago.”

Soul City would not, in fact, become a racially segregated enclave. HUD officials reminded McKissick that it would be illegal to construct a city that excluded any other race than blacks, and also that the federal government could not fund such a project as it would violate the Civil Rights Act. So, McKissick did change his tune. As Fergus writes in his article, McKissick flipped it around when reporters asked him about Soul City’s separatist veneer, saying, “we do not intend on adopting the white man’s racism” by reverse-redlining other races away from municipal boundaries.McKissick’s team had spent time in planned cities like Columbia, Maryland, studying their playbooks. Now with funding in place, they were able to break ground on basic infrastructure: a wastewater treatment plant, a municipal utility company, a health center, and an “industrial incubator facility” called “Soul Tech I,” which was designed to train the laborers, manufacturers, and entrepreneurs that McKissick envisioned as the leaders of Soul City.

(Roger Biles, “The Rise and Fall of Soul City,” Journal of Planning History)

The city was also to include three residential villages and a recreational center, but what McKissick wasn’t able to swiftly produce were the people who would live and work there. Soul City had a population of less than 150 in 1979, despite plans that projected a population of 2,000 by then. Huge companies like General Motors and Perdue, which at one point considered building operations centers in Soul City, began pulling out. McKissick was unable to land a major corporation to anchor the city’s economic development.

There were a number of reasons why Soul City’s recruitment efforts fell short. The U.S. economy tanked in the 1970s amid the oil and energy crises. Soul City also had to weather a fusillade of scrutiny from new hard-right conservatives like Jesse Helms, whom North Carolina elected to the U.S. Senate in 1972. Helms immediately made Soul City his whipping post, casting it as a symbol of wasteful government spending.A series of articles from the Raleigh News & Observer surfaced accusations of financial malfeasance inside Soul City’s development team, which stymied investor confidence even more. McKissick’s crew was eventually cleared through an audit from the U.S. Government Accountability Office, but the damage was done. By the early 1980s, even HUD had begun winding its financial support down, citing Soul City’s lack of progress.

McKissick’s rejoinder to HUD was that the department was “taking a baby nine-months-old and asking why he is not a lawyer,” which failed to convince his benefactors. At this point, a new Republican Party had taken over, one that wanted nothing to do with any program that Nixon’s Watergate-scandal-plagued hands had touched. Not only that, but Ronald Reagan had fully embraced the “Southern Strategy” adopted by Republicans, which focused on disaffected white Southern voters ”especially those angry about federal programs that benefited African Americans.

Not that most black Americans reaped much benefit from these programs, but the New Deal/Great Society eras were officially over, and Soul City would be drained away with the grantsmanship bathwater.Unable to attract adequate private capital and having lost federal funding, McKissick had to sell Soul City off to private interests. As Illinois State University professor Roger Biles wrote of the city’s short lifespan in the Journal of Planning History:

Facing a hostile political environment and hampered by a foreboding economic climate, Floyd McKissick’s bold attempt to sustain a free-standing new town based on African American activism seemed doomed from the start. The uneasy marriage between black capitalism and the federal bureaucracy sundered at Soul City, a part of the larger failure of the new towns movement to solve the urban crisis of the late twentieth century.

McKissick’s team was never able to lure major industry to Soul City, but two industries did end up landing there after McKissick left. One was hazardous waste: Warren County notoriously became the place where North Carolina decided to dump tons of untreated, PCB-tainted soil in a landfill near Soul City. Black residents protested this conversion of their homeland into dumping grounds, many of them laying in front of the trucks delivering the soil. Their resistance marked the birth of the civil-rights-based environmental justice movement, though these groups weren’t able to stop toxic soil waste from infiltrating the earth around Soul City.

The other industry that ended up there: prison. The “Soul Tech I” business incubator McKissick built was sold off and is now the Warren Correctional Institution, an 809-bed facility housing far more people than McKissick was ever able to recruit to Soul City.As Devin Fergus writes in “Black Power, Soft Power”:

Like the nation at large, Soul City would not employ young black workers as much as warehouse them, as did rural communities and cities across America in the 1980s and 1990s, when prison corporations worked with local and state officials seeking to revitalize economically depressed areas by building prisons that incarcerated unprecedented numbers of nonviolent drug offenders, mostly men between the ages of eighteen and forty. The same able-bodied, young African American men whom McKissick had optimistically envisioned returning south to be gainfully employed in Soul City did return, but they did so, in the words of the state prisons director, as “out-of-state inmates back home, back home so they can be with families; back home where our employees can work with them in our facilities.”

In that respect, it now seems like the $14 million Nixon granted McKissick for Soul City turned out less a security deposit on reparations, and more a down payment on mass incarceration.

……White liberal cruelty

.
It would be cruel to put me up on a stage with a mike and expect me to do a good rap song, or shoot a basketball in the NBA.

It is the same with the blacks and a modern, high-tech society, CRUEL to put them, at an 85 average IQ, into a society where they simply cannot compete, no matter how hard they try.

I have taught in high school and you have your slow kids, your average kids and your AP (Advanced Placement) kids.  You get lots of discipline problems when kids end up in the wrong level, bored and frustrated.

And it is not just 1) the blacks’ low IQ, but also 2) the much higher testosterone and 3) the very underdeveloped frontal lobes of the brain, which are in charge of self-control, impulse-control and self-discipline.

Three strikes against them and they are out.

It has always been my special calling to reach out as a WN to people of other races so we together can defeat our common and mortal enemy, the Jews.

One of my two webmasters 2009-11 was half-African, half-Egyptian

I did a radio show with a black quasi-conservative in 2014

The Jews’ intent is to genocide or enslave us all.

As this video shows, some Blacks are outright pro-Hitler!

.https://johndenugent.com/images/Ray-Hagins-schwarzer-US-Prediger-ueber-AH.mp4 (An American black Christian preacher — with German subtitles)

And many others at least are jew-wise.

For African-Americans (who actually are far, far more antisemitic than whites, and from direct, negative experience)

A black friend once said to me, after a few drinks, what was really on his heart:

“I don’t want any black self-rule. I don’t trust other blacks to rule over me. I trust most white people over the blacks. I have met so many nice white people, honest people, and good to me.

Once, John, the Nation of Islam guys [Black Muslims] came to my door, peddling their ‘The Final Call” newspaper. So I look at it, and the front page is going on about the “blue-eyed devils.”

I handed it back to the guy and said: “‘Blue-eyed devils’? Brother, I know too many black devils!”

 

The only solution is this:

–completely white-controlled homelands for blacks as in the original and successful Apartheid plan in the old South Africa under Hendrik Verwoerd.

Verwoerd was killed by a black, incited by a Jewish psychiatrist, because he had made apartheid work extremely well, or, as the Boers called it, “separate development” (but under strict white supervision).

To control a society,m you need to control the purse strings, honeycomb the clubs, churches and other institutions with your agents and informers, and groom the young, up-and-coming leaders with money, sex and advancement if they play ball.

This is how the Romans would romanize the lands they had conquered.

This is also how the America CIA deprogrammed and reprogrammed the West Germans after WWII to hate Hitler, who had loved them, and love their new American masters who hated them.

The black homelands must be filled with agents.

And there has to be the death penalty for many crimes, including stealing. (This was done in England for centuries. In the 1720s the English hanged two children for stealing bread. Cattle theft was a definite death-penalty offense, as was poaching.)

I remember an interesting Star Trek episode where Kirk and Spock land on a planet which is totally crime-free, relaxed, prosperous and happy because there is the death penalty for every serious transgression.

Simple and effective. Everyone knows the rules. Fools and criminals never get a chance to breed.

This is almost how we ran things before, and very strictly during the war.

The Führer Adolf Hitler Visiting His Headquarters And Congratulating Heinrich Himmler (Right), Head Of The SS and the Gestapo, on his 43rd birthday, October 13, 1943.

 

We hanged or shot many soldiers for desertion, using the Field Gendarms.

We even hanged majors. “I cut a deal with the Bolsheviks.”

We guillotined about 30,000 — libtard friends of the Allies, advocating surrender; active pedophiles; career criminals (who cause 90% of all crime); and looters. This was our Munich guillotine.

 

Even when our cities were bombed out, there was no looting of homes and apartments.

When the fire was put out, you could go back, and if your personal property was not burned, it was all still there. The door was perhaps wide open due to the firefighters going in, but every single pen, wallet, flower pot and jewelry box was waiting for its rightful owners.

With the blacks it will be the same firm policy:

1)) we promise you good-paying jobs, good schools for the trades, safe neighborhoods, clean entertainment, a generous retirement, vacations, and honest cops, and judges

2) Or you can go back to Africa

 

….or be turned over to the Chinese, Koreans and Mexicans, who view you as useless wild animals.

If you stay, we rule.”

And this will solve the black-white problem permanently. Firmly, fairly and honorably. The word of an Aryan must never be broken.

Karen Fulp-Lilly Excellent, John! Might I add that I too think another reason the recruitment efforts failed WAS the name. It truly did reak of Black Militancy. I think it’s safe to say that here in NC, there aren’t a lot of the Militant types. I can honestly say that I’ve ran across maybe two in my lifetime here in NC. I am in a small town right outside of Winston Salem, but we still have a fair share of them and we all get along in my area. I am also in Winston on a regular basis, it’s only 15-20 minutes from me. I think the more Militant ones are located in the Charlotte area.

There is no question whatsoever for me that the Third Reich, knowing it would probably lose the war, evacuated its top scientists in over 50 U-boats to the Antarctic, equipped with the German invention of the snorkels (to get air in to the crew while staying submerged for thousands of miles).
.
This vast, secret undertaking (comparable to the American Manhattan Project) is called in German the Absetzbewegung, which is a military term meaning “disengagement movement.” It means you strategically withdraw — conduct a planned, organized retreat — so as to fight and win on another day.
One could also call it a badger strategy — dig a hole and go into it. A badger can be killed only if he leaves his hole. And you will be killed if you go down the hole after him.
.
The wise badger waits patiently for his enemies to KILL EACH OTHER. Then he emerges again.
.

It is this military-scientific remnant of the Reich, a nuclear power, that will survive the destruction of the West in WWIII, dug in in the Antarctic and in the Andes mountains of South America.

(Hitler did kill himself to fool the Americans that the “Nazi danger” was over, and because the remnant of the Reich did not really need politicians like him, just scientists and generals, to survive underground.)

This Reich (which has only five million citizens now) is not strong enough to challenge the US, NATO and Russia, just protect itself, and it has the nuclear weapons and other technologies to destroy any attacker. BUT IT CANNOT RESCUE US.

The Russians admitted in a major documentary on Russian state television that this is true, with testimony by Russian air force generals in uniform.

“The founders and rulers of Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome were nordics

 

“The 1917 Van Rensburg prophecy of three world wars ” and a German final victory (but in a world in ashes  — marches toward its fulfillment.

According to the 1919 prophecy of the militant Boer Nicholas van Rensburg, after a black South African president and later a black American president (completely unthinkable ideas at the time, back in 1917 !!!!), the latter being described as a “black boy,” a male and white conservative will take over the reins of the state. He will have “a hair like a wig,” constantly frown, and he will wage a catastrophic war against Russia.

Russia will be destroyed, and some European countries as well, especially England, which will break its alliance with the United States and therefore will be abandoned by them.

Germans and Boers in South Africa will be the only major white survivors of this useless war that will destroy the entire northern hemisphere of our planet.

They will build together a new white empire in Africa, which will have remained unscathed from the Third World War, and these two very warlike white people will crush without mercy any black people who will oppose them.

As far as the Germans are concerned, as I have explained many times on my website, Hitler ordered after the great defeat at Stalingrad the evacuation of elite German scientists and military to Antarctica. They have huge under-ice military bases there, and also in the Andes mountain range, in a kind of existence like a badger, protected in their lairs, but not daring to wage war on the United States or Russia (on neither Soviet Russia nor that of Putin).

What are his prophecies about the Tribe, who are certainly our worst enemy?

He did not mention them. He was a fervent Calvinist Christian, thus a typical Boer, and not anti-Semitic. Like all Boers, he hated especially the English (who had killed two of his daughters in Lord Kitchener’s horrible concentration camps), and he loved and admired the Germans. He prophesied that the Germans would lose two world wars but win, that is, survive — alone — the third one.

Hitler himself said “Das letzte Battalion wird ein deutsches sein.” (“The last battalion will be German.”) This becomes understandable only if one accepts the reality of the military “Absetzbewegung” of 1943-45, the “disengagement movement”.

But this scenario is incredibly sad — the pointless annihilation of  95% of the white race.

No more Russia, Europe, England – and as for the United States, according to Van Rensburg, they will fall to the status of insignificant country and will take decades to rebuild the rubble.

No more Russia, Europe, England – and the United States, according to Van Rensburg, will fall to the status of an insignificant country and take many decades to rebuild from the rubble.

The 2009 movie “The Road” with the stars Viggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron (herself a Boer, though a renegade) and with a little South Africa boy, Kodi Smit-McPhee, also used, playing the little son, depicts a post-apocalyptic America during the nuclear winter that takes place after WWIII.  No plants or trees can grow in the long darkness — the atmosphere is full of dust from 20,000 hydrogen bombs going off on major cities — so food production stops. Many humans resort to cannibalism to survive.

    • The problem was the Jews introduced slavery to the US, and to France, Spain, Portugal and the British Empire, and once your competitors reduced their costs DRASTUCALL by using slaves, not wage-earners with wives and kids to support, you would go out of business until you bought slaves, too.

      It was not a question of stupidity, greed or shortsightedness.

      Both colonial Virginia and colonial Georgia passed laws to end any further importation of black slaves, and the Royal governors revoked their laws.

      The king and the Jews were making too much money.
