Backgrounder: American Third Position
Leaders of the A3P: Kevin MacDonald, Director
Posted: July 9, 2010
Kevin MacDonald, Director
Kevin MacDonald initially described his involvement with A3P as minimal, saying "All I'm doing is endorsing a platform essentially, and saying this is a good idea and something that should be done." However, in a December 14, 2009, interview on Radio Free Mississippi, a white supremacist radio show, MacDonald states that he is on the board of A3P and joined other members of the group at a Huntington Beach demonstration against "illegal aliens."
In the interview, MacDonald takes an explicitly white supremacist stance. He says that whites have less and less power and "will be at the mercy of other peoples, many of whom hold historical grudges against us." He includes Jews in this grouping. MacDonald also declares, "What we have to get people to understand is that it's okay to have an explicit white identity." When asked by host Jim Giles if he would be willing to "brainstorm with neo-Nazi Alex Linder to see what steps can be taken to help organize a white civil rights organization, MacDonald answers, "Absolutely," and mentions that the A3P is "out there talking about preserving Western culture and dealing with immigration and that kind of thing."
When asked if he supports the idea of a "white homeland," MacDonald says that he supports the idea of "repatriating" the millions of people who came to the U.S. since 1965.
MacDonald reserves much of his wrath for Jews. He says that "white nationalists should bring up "the Jewish lobby" as a strategic issue. "I would advocate that we be very frank about Jewish influence and very frank about Jewish dual loyalties and pro-Israel activity. MacDonald adds, "Any political rhetoric that comes out of the party has to be very carefully thought out, and has to be very carefully gone over to not be the kind of crude anti-Semitism you see so often."
MacDonald makes clear that A3P wants to reach educated white people using scientific data. "We are trying to develop a rhetoric that would appeal to educated white people in this county that is scientifically based rhetoric, rational rhetoric, rhetoric that is based on facts, that cites facts and data, psychological data…."
MacDonald's leadership role in A3P is his first involvement in electoral politics or explicit endorsement of a white supremacist effort. Johnson likely views MacDonald's participation as granting credibility to the party with a range of white supremacists and anti-Semites who are turned off by the efforts of neo-Nazis and racist skinheads.
MacDonald's participation in A3P also echoes his longstanding view that whites should organize politically to prevent their becoming a minority. He believes that ethnic tension is inevitable and that organizing whites along political lines is likely to be more violent in a few decades than it would be now.
