Who are the ethnic enemies of our people?

[00:00:06]In the 1930s, Adolf Hitler made no bones at all about whom he regarded as the ethnic enemies of Germany.

[00:00:15]It was, of course, primarily the Jews, but with Slavs and gypsies coming a close second.

[00:00:23]Since the end of the Second World War though, we in Western Europe and the United States have grown a little shy of speaking in such terms as this.

[00:00:34]Even at the height of the Cold War, when Russia and America were at daggers drawn, one did not hear politicians in the West denouncing the Slavs as their ethnic enemies.

[00:00:47]I strongly suspect that if I were to start raving on about this or that group of people currently living in this country as being my ethnic enemies, some people would complain to YouTube and say that I deserve to be banned for using the language of the Third Reich and applying it to some minority in this country or perhaps somewhere else in the world.

[00:01:11]Judging from some of the comments here, there are still those in the 21st century who regard the Jews as being their ethnic enemies.

[00:01:20]Others would perhaps choose a different foe and view Africans as their ethnic enemies.

[00:01:27]I think though we can all of us agree that the use of such expressions is now viewed with distinct disfavor by most people, especially those on the left.

[00:01:38]Nobody in mainstream British politics would dream of using the expression.

[00:01:43]Well, almost nobody.

[00:01:46]There are a few people who are not afraid to speak out loud about their ethnic enemies.

[00:01:52]Take the leader of the Conservative party for instance. In an interview she gave to the Spectator magazine in December 2024.

[00:02:02]He spoke about Nigeria in this way. He said, "I have nothing in common with the people from the north of the country, the boo haram where the Islamism is.

[00:02:14]Those were our ethnic enemies."

[00:02:18]The hour in this context refers to the Yoruba, her own ethnic group.

[00:02:25]Consider that expression though, our ethnic enemies.

[00:02:31]There's nothing surprising about a Yoruba woman talking in this way about the house of people in the north. She probably regards the ebo in the same light. Anybody remember the Bafan war?

[00:02:46]This attitude is common throughout the whole world in Africa, Asia, South America. It's only in Europe and North America that the idea of ethnic enemies is frowned upon and thought of as unacceptable.

[00:03:04]However, I'm inclined to agree with Clem Badno on this matter. I too have ethnic enemies whom I view in the same way that she does the Houseer and Ebo.

[00:03:16]I best not enlarge upon this idea though, lest I fall frown at some algorithm or other.

[00:03:24]In the description to this video, I give a link to the piece in the spectator in which leader of the opposition used this expression.
