America's Culture

A documentation in two
parts
During the 20th century, the United States Congress
passed many laws that negatively affected White Americans in one way or
another. However, none of those laws delivered as much cultural damage to
White America as did two back-to-back laws passed in the mid-1960s: the
Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Immigration and Nationality Act
Amendments of 1965.
The purpose of this essay is to show that
people of a certain ethnicity were instrumental in the creation of the
1964 and 1965 laws.
Background
In the late 1950s, a
civil-rights revolution spread throughout America - including within the
U.S. government in Washington, D.C. Various legislative proposals, all
designed to benefit racial minorities in one way or another, were tossed
around by lobbyists, Senators and Representatives. Throughout the country,
civil-rights groups demanded the passage of laws that would give
minorities equal rights.
Although America's civil-rights groups
appeared to be led by Blacks, in reality they were usually led -- or at
least steered -- by Jews. Most of the men who founded the NAACP were jews,
and for decades it had a jew as president. Martin Luther King Jr.'s chief
advisor was jew Stanley Levison. The major civil-rights groups were funded
mainly by Jewish donations. Furthermore, important civil-rights cases were
argued and won in the courts by skilled Jewish lawyers. For example Jack
Greenberg, who was a key figure surrounding the historic Brown v. Board of
Education decision of 1954. Another Jewish attorney, Nathan Margold,
produced the in-depth report that became the NAACP's blueprint for its
legal strategy in outlawing racial segregation. In fact, it could be said
that the Margold report virtually ended racial segregation in America.
 The stage for the civil-rights revolution within the federal
government was set by Jewish Congressman Emanuel Celler (D-NY), via his
groundbreaking Civil Rights Act of 1957, the first civil-rights law since
the Civil War era. Celler wrote and sponsored the Civil Rights Act of
1957, which came from his House bill, H.R.6127, which was signed into law
by President Eisenhower in September 1957. That law led to other
minority-benefiting laws, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Congressman Celler was a powerful force in the creation of the major
civil-rights laws, the main reason being that, during the late 1950s/early
1960s, civil-rights advocates had learned to "use" the House of
Representatives to advance their legislation. Thanks to Celler's
chairmanship of certain House committees, civil-rights bills sailed
through the House. Furthermore, civil-rights advocates were often able to
use Congressional rules to allow their bills to bypass anti-civil-rights
committees in the Senate, which increased the chances of their legislation
becoming law. In other words, the House of Representatives was the "secret
weapon" that was used by civil-rights advocates to create civil-rights
laws, and Celler was the gatekeeper, so to speak, on the path that was
taken by the civil-rights bills as they moved around the House.
Now we will highlight the 1964 and 1965 Acts, beginning with the
Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Part I: the Civil Rights Act of
1964
Do you know why a private employer must -- by law -- hire
Blacks, Mexicans and women? If you don't, the reason is: the Civil Rights
Act of 1964 - specifically Title VII of that Act, which outlawed
any type of discrimination in employment. In other words, with the passage
of that Act, private employers were no longer free to hire whom they
wanted. In the name of freedom and civil rights, the Constitution was
subverted, and genuine civil rights were taken away.
That 1964
Act, which came from Congressman Celler's House bill H.R.7152, was
introduced in Congress on June 20, 1963, and signed into law by President
Lyndon Johnson on July 2, 1964. It is the most far-reaching civil-rights
law ever created in America. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 created, among
other things, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which
penalizes private businesses if they don't hire a certain number of racial
minorities or women. The EEOC today functions as a medium through which
organized coloreds can exact tribute from hard-working white men and the
companies they found. The real "civil right" the 1964 act created was the
right of the jewish bureaucrat and the black man to shake down the hated
white.
It is worth mentioning that President John F. Kennedy was
sort of responsible for the 1964 Act. He proposed a new, upgraded
civil-rights law in the summer of 1963 and submitted it to Congress. The
end result of that was Celler's bill H.R.7152, which was actually a
stronger civil-rights bill than Kennedy wanted. (The idea for a strong
civil-rights bill did not come from Kennedy himself but from many others,
including the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights [see below] and
Senator Hubert Humphrey).[1]
Many people feel that the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 is unconstitutional. They feel that it infringes on
private-property rights by forcing private businesses to bend to the
federal government's employment rules, and that it violates states'
rights, since it compels the government to involve itself in civil-rights
matters within the various states. The law also clearly infringes upon the
freedom of association desires of White people. In effect it became
illegal for whites to protect themselves from blacks, or in any way to
refrain from mixing with them. Today anyone who calls for a return of the
true civil right of free association will be attacked by the media as a
racist who wants to return to the bad old days before civil
rights.
It is true that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed by
gentiles in Congress, and signed into law by a gentile as well. But that
Act needed to be conceived, written and lobbied-for first -- otherwise it
would never have come into being. That's where these notable Jews came in:
 Arnold Aronson (1911-1998) was founder and leader of
the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights (LCCR).2 The LCCR, a powerful
coalition of political and religious groups, organized major, countrywide
lobbying efforts to aid passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Aronson
was an icon within the Black civil rights movement. He received an award
from President Bill Clinton, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, for his
civil-rights work. Indeed, civil-rights activist Clarence Mitchell Jr.
once noted: "There would not have been a civil rights movement without the
Leadership Conference on Civil Rights and there would not have been a
Leadership Conference on Civil Rights without (Arnold) Aronson." LCCR has
been called the "chief lobbying force" for the 1960s civil-rights acts.[3]
Curiously, the building occupied by the LCCR was owned by a Jewish
organization.[4] The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was written at the Religious
Action Center of Reform Judaism in Washington, D.C., under the watch of
the LCCR.
Now we again mention Congressman Celler
(1888-1981). Not only did Celler introduce the Civil Rights Act of 1964
into Congress, he oversaw the general creation of the Act within two
committees in the U.S. House of Representatives. Celler not only chaired
the Judiciary Committee but also House subcommittee No. 5, which
considered H.R.7152 [5]. Subcommittee No. 5 was said to be the "most
aggressive" entity in strengthening H.R.7152 [6]. Furthermore, Celler
handpicked some of the members of Subcommittee #5, ensuring that the 1964
Act had plenty of "teeth"; and he also was the floor manager in the House
during debate on H.R.7152. Additionally, Celler put more teeth into
H.R.7152 than were needed, in case the bill was watered-down later by its
opponents - which it was, via a compromise bill called a "clean bill,"
which was the same bill with a few words changed to ensure more
Congressional support for it. Celler employed tricks to get H.R.7152
through Congress, such as using a discharge petition to aid passage of the
bill through the congressional committees. Of significance is that Celler
lied about the intent of the 1964 Act when he denied that it would prevent
employers from hiring whom they wanted:
"[T]he charge has been
made that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to be established by
title VII of the bill would have the power to prevent a business from
employing and promoting the people it wished, and that a 'Federal
inspector' could then order the hiring and promotion only of employees of
certain races or religious groups. This description of the bill is
entirely wrong..." [7]
Celler had a long record of
pro-civil-rights activity in Congress. In fact, Celler could be called one
of the biggest Congressional cheerleaders for legislation that somehow
benefited racial minorities.
And finally, the main author of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964 was Jewish assistant attorney general Norbert
A. Schlei (1929-2003). (Schlei also wrote the Voting Rights Act of
1965).

Aronson is also called a "co-founder" of LCCR - a significant
understatement. For example, the City College of New York mentioned, on
its website, that one of its students received an Arnold Aronson
Fellowship, a fellowship that is "named for the LCCR's founder."

*************
Part II: the
Immigration and Nationality Act Amendments of 1965 (aka the Hart-Celler
Act, the Immigration Act of 1965, and the Immigration Reform Act of
1965)
Like the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the idea for serious
immigration reform appeared to the public to have come from President John
F. Kennedy. After all, Kennedy had officially called for the reform of
America's immigration laws in a letter that he presented to Congress on
July 23, 1963.
A liberal immigration law, the Hart-Celler Act of
1965 -- which came from House bill H.R.2580 -- was written by Congressman
Celler and gentile Senator Philip A. Hart (D-MI; 1912-1976), although
Celler acted as the pointman for the Act by introducing it into Congress
in January 1965. (Only Celler was mentioned by President Lyndon Johnson
when he signed the Hart-Celler Act into law in October 1965, which
highlights Celler's major -- as opposed to Hart's minor -- involvement in
the creation of the Act. It seems as though Celler simply used Hart as a
co-sponsor of the bill).[1]
Celler had a long history of
advocating liberal immigration laws, so much so that he was the subject of
a 1994 research paper bearing the telling subtitle "Leading Advocate of
Liberal Immigration Policy."[2]
The Hart-Celler Act amended the
McCarran-Walter immigration act of 1952. The McCarran-Walter law had
mandated that immigrants be admitted into America based on their national
origin. The Hart-Celler law abolished the national-origin rule and
replaced it with family reunification, aka chain immigration, i.e. the
close relatives of immigrants already living in America were allowed to
immigrate to the U.S. as well.
For his part, Senator Hart worked
closely with a group called the American Immigration and Citizenship
Conference in an effort to get the 1965 Act passed. That Conference
included 12 Jewish groups and the heavily-Jewish ACLU.
The
Hart-Celler Act significantly changed the ethnic make-up of immigration
into America. Before the Act was passed, the majority of immigrants coming
to America was White. After the Act, the majority of immigrant arrivals
was non-White (roughly 80% of the immigrants came to the U.S. from
non-White countries). In other words, the 1965 Act reversed the racial
make-up of immigration into America.
 Jewish Senator Jacob Javits (1904-1986) also played a key
role in the creation of the Hart-Celler Act. And Jewish attorney Schlei
(see Part I above) conceived the idea of putting a "first come, first
served" immigration rule into the Act, to replace the previous
national-origins rule [3].
(Revealingly, an action by Jewish
Senator Herbert H. Lehman (1878-1963) -- the son of an immigrant and a
major player in pro-immigration legislation -- showed how important the
issue of immigration reform can be to Jews: in the early 1950s, in what
might be described as 'Jewish networking on immigration matters,' Lehman
helped to install a Jew, Harry Rosenfield, as the executive director of
the President's Commission on Immigration and Naturalization. Then Lehman,
his Jewish aid and Rosenfield endeavored to help pro-immigration
Congressmen with matters pertaining to the liberalization of immigration
laws. The chairman of the President's Commission on Immigration and
Naturalization was also a Jew, Philip Perlman. And telling of Jewish
attitudes toward the McCarran-Walter law were Senator Lehman's remarks
that it had a "racist" and "xenophobic" aura. Apparently for Lehman, a
post-WWII Zionist, such an aura surrounding immigration law was okay in
Israel, but not in America.)
Powerful Jewish organizations also
greatly aided the passage of Hart-Celler by, for example, issuing formal
statements of support for the Act to the Congressional committees. Both
the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee played
"major" roles in supporting the Act [4].
The Hart-Celler Act has,
in just a few decades, transformed America into a mixed-race country
teeming with Africans, Asians, and Latinos. And that was exactly what the
American Jewish community intended all along, since Jews can theoretically
avoid "anti-Semitism" by blending into racially-diverse populations.[5][6]

Summary
In the late 1950s/early 1960s, a
political movement appeared in America demanding that new laws be created
to benefit racial minorities and liberalize immigration laws. That
political movement spawned two important laws: the Civil Rights Act of
1964 and the Immigration and Nationality Act Amendments of 1965.
Whites in Congress passed those laws, but Jews laid the foundation
for the laws, built the laws, and lobbied for them, both inside and
outside of Congress. Jews took advantage of standard White benevolence and
used Whites to help them pass those laws not because the Jews necessarily
cared about the welfare of Blacks and non-White immigrants, but because
the Jews wanted to make their new home safe from "anti-Semitism." The Jews
-- always a clever people -- knew that they could go unnoticed in a
multicultural America, and in recent years they have (almost). Whether the
multiculturalizing-of-America-to-benefit-the-Jews was good for Whites was
beside the point, for as the late President Harry Truman said, the Jews
are "very, very selfish."
The 1964/1965 Acts damaged America's
White culture like no other laws in U.S. history. In fact, the odds are
that they damaged American culture beyond repair. Thanks to those acts,
the United States has gone from being a White republic to being a racial
"melting-pot" (a term coined by the late Jewish writer Israel Zangwill), a
"democracy" of racial and gender "equality," a place in which Blacks,
Mexicans and Asians vote for minority or female politicians; a place in
which the government decides who you may hire; a place in which White
women commute over long distances to work in big-city office buildings
instead of raising children at home. Jews, as the prime mover behind these
two malignant acts, bear a heavy responsibility for the cultural
debasement that those laws produced for White America.
