Book Review: One Sheaf, One Vine: Racially Conscious White Americans Talk About Race Robert S. Griffin 1st Books, 2004 Softcover, 162 pp * * * * * Introduction Let the corn be all one sheaf- and the grapes be all one vine, Ere our children's teeth are set on edge By bitter bread and wine. Rudyard Kipling poem, The Stranger One Sheaf, One Vine: Racially Conscious White Americans Talk About Race is Robert S. Griffin's highly anticipated follow up to the William Pierce biography, Fame of a Dead Man's Deeds. ... While Sheaf will be of broad interest to anyone of any race or political position interested in the pro-white perspective, it is especially valuable for two distinct white audiences which, for the sake of convenience, I'll call the personal and the public. By personal I mean those of us intimately involved in the pro-white scene. We are familiar with the various organizations and personalities involved. We know about the different ideological factions and strategic positions. We're all too aware of the heated divisions within white nationalism. Divisions between those who see Christianity as panacea and those who see it as Jewish poison; those who champion Hitler for being right and those who condemn Hitler because they see anything less as a political non-starter; those who address only symptoms and those who name the cause. Not to mention the ongoing heated debates over pan-Aryanism (nord vs. med), feminism, and the use and abuse of slurs and/or euphemisms, to name a few. For those of us personally involved in the scene the book is like a party, like attending an invite only Eurofest. It is a chance to mingle with racially conscious whites and perhaps bump in to some friends we know. That doesn't make the experience with the book quaint, however. The fifteen whites featured speak from very different positions on the political spectrum. Chapter for chapter, reading Sheaf is a full-contact sport. Some of what is said will have you cheering, some gnashing your teeth. Some parts of it are terribly sad while others are laugh-out-loud hilarious. By public I mean whites at large, the silent majority of whites uninvolved in any form of pro-white community or activism. For the most part, these whites are not "racist" and would ... who have been intentionally deprived unfamiliar with the isn't academic or polemical. It's neither a tome rife with footnot The muddier America gets, the more white nationalism will make sense to the broad masses of ordinary white Americans. This is the insight motivating Tom Metzger's "worse is better" attitude toward current events. The situation confronting whites in America and throughout the west is so dire, the response needed so extreme, that they will -- and have for decades -- seize on even the slightest glimmer of hope to avoid the inevitable. One of the main deterrents to ordinary whites acting in their long-term best interest sooner rather than later is the misperception that they have nothing in common with "racists." Race conscious whites come in two flavors according to the media: pathetic followers (often costumed hooligans) and the leaders who bilk them. Though these media caricatures are opposites in terms of intelligence and power, to the casual observer they are both equally alien. They are both full-time race "fanatics." Race conscious whites, it seems, march in perpetual parade. They don't work normal jobs. They don't go to movies, don't watch TV, and detest public talk radio; they are either Bible thumping or Bible bashing over-the-top zealots; they've got a grudge against grocery labels; One of the main deterrents to ordinary whites acting in their long-term best interest sooner rather than later by along is the sense that The misperception that they have nothing in common with the people who comprise the pro-white cause is One of the main deterrents to ordinary whites acting in their long-term best interest by sooner rather than later is the sense that Until their backs are against the wall, whites will not turn and face America was once white and free enough that the silent white majority could ignore (or even fashionably fight against) pro-white politics without causing much damage The controlled media do their best to portray race-conscious whites as a priori hate criminals that come in two basic flavors: the pathetic follower (often a crazed and costumed buffoon) and the present only two faces of race-conscious whites: the crazed and costumed buffoon and the work-shy shyster On Sheaf, One Vine: Racially Conscious White Americans Talk About Race is Robert S. Griffin's follow up to his Mainstream media serves up only two flavors of race-conscious whites: the brainwashed buffoon and the 'groid-hating guru. Either the losers or the leaders. "hate-filled" intellectual. Either the ludicrous spectacles presented Geraldo, Rikki Lake, Maury Povich, and Sally Jessie Raphael, or the books by David Duke, William Pierce, Wilmot Robertson, and Ben Klassen. Either leaders or losers. And, to be sure, the media work as hard has possible to render those two positions indistinguishable. the personal accounts of seventeen racially conscious white people The muddier America gets, the more white nationalism makes sense to the silent majority of ordinary white Americans. America was once white and free enough that the silent white majority could ignore (or even fashionably fight against) pro-white politics without causing much damage ... race politics could be safely ignored (or even fashionably fought against!) by the silent white majority and left in the hands of a few prescient and courageous men like Lindbergh, Ford, McCloughlin and Rockwell. Those days are long gone. Robert S. Griffin's One Sheaf, One Vine: Racially Conscious White Americans Talk About Race comes on the heels of Carol Swain's miserably failed efforts to give voice to contemporary white nationalists, almost as if to say "don't send a silly affirmative action negress to do a white man's job." * * * * * * * Grist Author and professor Robert S.
