Tucker Carlson sounds like a woke liberal when he describes racism

Like the neoconservatives Tucker Carlson insists that “race and skin color” should not be included in conservatism or in American politics, like the political left he denies or is ignorant of the biological origin of social behavior. Carlson rightly advocates judging people by merit and he rightly affirms the protectionism and anti-interventionism of Trumpism, but he sounds like a woke liberal when he describes racism.

Since Biden was elected president the charges of “systemic racism” have been increasingly hurled at whites by the left and by the media which is then hotly denied by conservatives, and both sides completely deny the biological origin of social behavior. The blacks and the left won't admit that there is any racism behind their motives any more than the whites will admit any systemic white racism, and racism continues to be confounded with supremacism.

Real human nature has always preferred kin and related ethnic group  because this preference was successful in survival and reproduction, so it was instinctively, genetically, retained within basic human nature. Ethnic groups of related genes have numerous reasons for cooperating more successfully and harmoniously than with other ethnic groups. As Edward O. Wilson said, "The genes hold culture on a leash. The leash is very long, but inevitably values will be constrained in accordance with their effects on the human gene pool.”

It would be far more realistic to admit unassimilating differences rather than talking about the superiority/inferiority of different races. As one courageous historian put it, what formerly divided us can put us back together again. A true natural rights or civil rights movement would promote ethnostates and an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all groups, black, white, brown, yellow, or red, with each ethnostate protected from marauding imperialists, global businesses, supremacists, Marxists, etc. Ethnostates could be established legally in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states..Now that is conservatism.
