The Prismatic Nature of “Replacement Theory”

It is an interesting but a rather uncircumspect and self-assuredly ethnoracially narcissistic take, by way of a sarcastic rejoinder, on a previous article on the still-raging, largely MAGA-provoked debate on the delusional concept and ideology of “Racial Replacement,” better known as “Replacement Theory.” And by the way, for those of our dear readers who may just be entering the proverbial Ideational Market of America’s Democratic Culture, the acronym of “MAGA” refers to the President Donald John Trump’s Faux-Nativist advocacy for a return to the Dark and the Primitive Era of Modern American History, when the overwhelming majority of Indigenous Continental African-Descended Americans were deemed to be legal items of chattel-enslaved merchandise, apparently because the half-Bavarian (German) and half-Scottish third-generation American-born Mr. Trump - who, by the way, happens to be second-generation American on the maternal side of his family - can simply not abide the constitutionally inalienable concept of the coequal humanity of African American and European American citizens, particularly in the realm of socioeconomic and political power sharing or distribution.

This putatively most thoroughgoing corrupt among all 47 democratically elected American Presidents appears to firmly believe in the preemptive superiority of the so-called Aryan species of humanity against all other species of humanity, in particular the Indigenous Continental African-Descended Species of humanity. Thus his age-old albeit epically failed determination to abominate and statutorily proscribe the legitimacy of the ineradicable historicity of both the politically seismic event of the 2008 election of former President Barack Hussein Obama, and the equally unarguable fact that intellectually sized up against his African American predecessor, as has been emphatically and authoritatively observed by legions of media pundits and ordinary American citizens, the self-described Real-Estate Developer cuts the veritable profile of a Borderline Primate.

On the latter count, of course, the Dear Reader is eagerly invited to make his/her own personal or individual assessment, the leaden weight of the natural ravages of senility aside. Now, on the patently pedestrian question regarding the age-old observation of the eternal ebb and flow trend of human migrations, and animal and avian migrations as well (Transhumance?), there has, predictably, recently emerged something that clearly appears to have emanated from the Darwinian playbook of the “Survival of the Fittest,” which is also known as “The Theory of Natural Selection,” in which, ironically, the very concept of the latter terminologies is being conveniently and mischievously upended by the Euro-Aryan species of global humanity, obviously because primitive greed and creature comfort on the part of the latter species of humanity is being ferociously permitted to buck or disrupt, interrupt and possibly reverse the natural course of human existence.

This is precisely the thesis of Daily Caller newspaper reporter Natalie Sandoval (See “Writer for New York Magazine Complains about Demographic Replacement” Daily Caller 2/11/26). The aforereferenced news feature was authored as a rejoinder to another writer by the name of Naomi Jackson for New York Magazine, tersely titled “I Miss My Black Brooklyn.” In her otherwise perfectly logical pushback to Ms. Jackson’s article, Ms. Sandoval repeats the exact same parochial error in judgment by reminding the former of making the selfsame error in judgment; this time, though, by glaringly and brazenly seeming to justify the characteristically self-righteous attempt by the MAGA Apostolate to back the natural order in the temporally perennial trend of human migrations for innumerable reasons including, but not excepting, political persecution a la the European-originated Quakers and Pilgrims of New England and the Mid-Atlantic enclaves of the erstwhile North-American New World and, one supposes as well, the South-American New World.

Now, the problem with Ms. Sandoval’s attempt to fend off the clearly faulty logic of Ms. Jackson’s plaint inheres in what may be aptly termed as the “Tar Baby Syndrome.” You see, unlike the standard European-American New World Migration Narrative, the Indigenous Continental African Version of the New World Migration and/or Emigration begins with the forced or the forcible uprootment or the radical uprooting and the massive and the bloody merchandising and the permanent exiling of the latter group into the European-cannibalized and designated/misdesignated New World. Which is precisely why Ms. Sandoval’s clearly disingenuous attempt to introduce into this otherwise cut-and-dried argument something called “Robert Conquest’s First Law of Politics,” allegedly formulated by one John Derbyshire, whoever the latter theorist or pseudo-theorist may be or may have been, squarely falls flat on its face. And for the simple reason that if, indeed, as Mr. Derbyshire is flamboyantly and pontifically quoted by Ms. Sandoval, “Everyone is conservative about what s/he knows best,” in hollow justification of what is commonly known as “White Flight,” converse to “Black Influx,” some “Jesus” and “Santa Maria” Slaveship Captains obviously forgot to remember not to have ferried so many millions of Black-Africans across the Atlantic, is racial segregation between Whites and Blacks was, indeed, a morally kosher matter of “Ethnic Familiarity” speciously repackaged, after the fact, as “Cultural and Existential Conservatism.” Sheer and plain laziness predicated on civically irresponsible convenience may very well be in/at play here. Divine Providence Save Us From Ourselves.
