Let's see if I can articulate this properly.
"White Man's Burden" has been used for proto -Progressives and Progressive descendants since mid/late 1800s. I'm sure there are enough here that are acquainted with it, but for those who aren't the basic gist was that White People had a responsibility to care for the "lesser" races. I am 100% certain that there are and were those in the movement that went for this with complete pure and benevolent reasons (road to hell and all).
But it never was meant for good intentions. The intention was always to establish, or maybe enshrine would be a better word, a ruling elite (mostly WASPs). You can see it in the policies in the early 20th century ranging from the creation of the current education paradigm, the creation of the Administrative state, and to eugenics. The last bit being the one I wish to focus on.
If was not just meant to 'contain' the blacks, but also those inferior whites. The massive backlash after the world discovered what the natural final state of the philosophy as implemented by the Nazis, and to an extent the Japanese, blunted that effort. Add to that, the relative quick adoption of Americanism by immigrants at the time complicated the plans of the elites. So what to do? Lower the standards, and don't encourage assimilation and adoption of the prevailing culture.
Trash the value of citizenship, allow those from corrupt backwards countries to vote and you will have these people handed power legitimately. Call it white replacement, citizen replacement it really doesn't matter except which era you are talking about. Because back in the day Europe had the only 'tradition' that gave rise to Americanism and it wasn't extended to many minorities because of the attitudes of the time. Now, those issues were settled and now it is clearly citizen replacement.
I just can't wait to see organizations like BLM react when they realize they have been relegated to the back of the bus (which is already happening) for the newcomers by the Democrats. Just desserts imho.
