Morenazi

Last updated

Morenazi or morenaryan are derogatory terms to describe non-white, [1] or more directly mixed race [1] and black neo-Nazis, [2] who show support or sympathy for National Socialism, Nazi Germany, the personality cult of Adolf Hitler [2] and more directly white supremacism. [3]

Term

The term emerged after World War II, since the discourse of white racial purity managed to creep in with some nationalist movements critical of the republican democratic system in Latin America and Spain. Morenazi people receive the typical stereotype of their once North American and European part: racist discourses, specifically anti-Semitic, [4] of racial superiority in favor of whites [4] and conspiracy theories such as the persecution of whites and repudiation of non-white immigrants.

People labeled as morenazis often argue that they sympathize with National Socialism because of their "defense" of traditionalism, homeland, political historical revisionism and anti-Zionism. [3] In addition to their xenophobic discourse, it has been recorded that Morenazi groups, also show homophobia, transphobia and anti-communism, so that for some they are part of the extreme right.

Relationship with white neo-Nazism

For neo-Nazi groups in North America and Europe, morenazis are not part of neo-Nazism, since they are not Caucasians. The position of the racist portal Stormfront when consulted was:

There is no such thing as National Socialist blood, what exists is Caucasian blood, and only Caucasians can be National Socialists.[ This quote needs a citation ]

Critics

The Israeli newspaper Enlace Judío, in Spanish, made a report called Los morenazis: con la suástica por dentro, about neo-Nazism in Mexico, where the interviewer of Jewish origin describes the morenazis as totally ignoring the issue of racism in white supremacist neo-Nazi circles:

I tried to visualize that chubby, doe-eyed dark skinned on Aryan Propaganda posters or marching in the imposing military parades of the Third Reich (...) I wondered if the guy was unaware of the fact that Mexican immigrants were among the favorite victims of neo-Nazis in the United States.[ This quote needs a citation ]

Racism in German history is inextricably linked to the Herero and Namaqua genocide in colonial times. Racism reached its peak during the Nazi regime which eventually led to a program of systematic state-sponsored murder known as The Holocaust. According to reports by the European Commission, milder forms of racism are still present in parts of German society. Currently the racism has been mainly directed towards Asian and African countries by both the state and through the citizens which includes being impolite and trying to interfere in internal matters of African countries by the diplomats.

Genres include Nazi punk, Rock Against Communism, National Socialist black metal, and fashwave.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">White genocide conspiracy theory</span> White supremacist conspiracy theory

The white genocide, white extinction, or white replacement conspiracy theory is a white supremacist conspiracy theory that claims there is a deliberate plot to cause the extinction of whites through forced assimilation, mass immigration, and/or violent genocide. It purports that this goal is advanced through the promotion of miscegenation, interracial marriage, mass non-white immigration, racial integration, low fertility rates, abortion, pornography, LGBT identities, governmental land-confiscation from whites, organised violence, and eliminationism in majority white countries. Under some theories, Black people, Hispanics, and Muslims are blamed for the secret plot, but usually as more fertile immigrants, invaders, or violent aggressors, rather than as the masterminds. A related, but distinct, conspiracy theory is the Great Replacement theory.
