He was 78. The cause was an intestinal infarction, according to Kingsley Clarke, a longtime friend.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ignatiev\u2019s best-known book, \u201cHow the Irish Became White,\u201d was immediately influential and controversial upon its publication in 1995. It touched off a firestorm of debate at the time at academic conferences and in the pages of\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1997\/11\/30\/magazine\/getting-credit-for-being-white.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>newspapers<\/strong><\/a><strong>. In time his view that whiteness is a social and political construction \u2014 and not a phenomenon with a biological basis \u2014 has become mainstream. The resurgence of white identity politics and white nationalism in recent years made Ignatiev\u2019s arguments relevant to a new generation of readers who argued the notion that race is more about power and privilege rather than about ancestry, or even identity. \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ignatiev urged white people: \u201cBe reverse Oreos. Defy the rules of whiteness \u2014 flagrantly, publicly. When someone makes a racial slur in your presence, say, \u2018You probably think I\u2019m white because I look white.\u2019 Challenge behaviors that reproduce race distinctions.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The interviewer continued: \u201cYou\u2019d do this in a bar full of rednecks?\u201d<br \/>\nIgnatiev replied: \u201cThat depends a lot on the situation. Challenging people on their whiteness can lead to harsh confrontations, even blows. Sometimes that can\u2019t be helped. But since we don\u2019t accept labeling people, I\u2019d ask you: What\u2019s a redneck?\u201d \u201c<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you are not familiar with Noel Ignatiev, he is the Jew who started the abolish whiteness stuff which has become all the rage with the woke crowd.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-170275\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.occidentaldissent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/ignatiev-1.jpg?resize=776%2C397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.occidentaldissent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/ignatiev-1.jpg?w=536 536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.occidentaldissent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/ignatiev-1.jpg?resize=300%2C153 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"776\" height=\"397\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-170276\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.occidentaldissent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/ignatiev-2.jpg?resize=757%2C355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.occidentaldissent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/ignatiev-2.jpg?w=850 850w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.occidentaldissent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/ignatiev-2.jpg?resize=300%2C141 300w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.occidentaldissent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/ignatiev-2.jpg?resize=768%2C361 768w\" alt=\"\" width=\"757\" height=\"356\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-170278\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.occidentaldissent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/communist-noel-ignatiev-wants-to-eliminate-the-white-race-2.png?resize=776%2C498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.occidentaldissent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/communist-noel-ignatiev-wants-to-eliminate-the-white-race-2.png?w=652 652w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.occidentaldissent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/communist-noel-ignatiev-wants-to-eliminate-the-white-race-2.png?resize=300%2C193 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"776\" height=\"499\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-170280\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.occidentaldissent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/full_05212015-patton.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"777\" height=\"345\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_vOtZgOOUHA?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;autohide=2&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home Race Relations Noel Ignatiev, The Jewish Scholar Who Called For Abolishing Whiteness, Is Dead Posted By: Hunter Wallace November 11, 2019 Could this day get any better?
