Race war is a slang term referring to developing hostilities between ethnic groups divided on the basis of racial group. The term may refer to specific violent acts or to general overt or covert hostilities between ethnic groups; compare ethnic warfare.
[edit] White racialism
The concept of a 'Racial Holy War' or a 'Rahowa' is a core rallying cry for White racialist groups advocating a survivalist agenda, separated by racial identity. In 1987, the White Patriot Party declared that a Race War had begun. Some White racialist groups advocate a Racial Holy War [1]. Likewise, some so-called "Black Jews" and people associated with the Nation of Islam have also advocated race wars.
[edit] In Culture
- Race war is the main theme of the William Luther Pierce 1978 novel The Turner Diaries.
- The murders perpetrated by Charles Manson and members of his "Family" were inspired in part by Manson's prediction of Helter Skelter, an apocalyptic race war. Manson believed he would draw America's white youth — including the young, white female hippies of San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury — to his group. Black men, thus deprived of the white women whom the political changes of the 1960s had made sexually available to them, would be without an outlet for their frustrations and would lash out in violent crimes against whites. After a resultant murderous rampage against blacks by frightened whites would be exploited by the Black Muslims to provoke a war of mutual near-extermination between racist and non-racist whites over the treatment of blacks, the Black Muslims would arise to finish off sneakily the few whites they would know to have survived. Manson would then emerge from a secret city that was underneath Death Valley to rule the now-satisfied blacks, who, as the vision went, would be incapable of running the world. (See Helter Skelter (Manson scenario).)
