Taking Action: What You Can Do To Help
The main point that I have been trying to make throughout this essay is that the concept of race corresponds to significant differences that exist between, and which serve to distinguish, human subgroups, or races. A number of reasons have been given why the preservation of these differences is important. But, of all the reasons, none state the case for preservation better than the simple subjective reason that race is something that people value and want to preserve. Because miscegenation tends to destroy something that large numbers of people value, efforts to promote it, or to make it more socially acceptable, should be met with a firm response. This response should be threefold. First, it should consist of a formal argument outlining the objective reasons why race is important and why it merits preservation, Secondly, the response should clarify some of the more salient subjective reasons why people value race, why they desire to preserve it, and why they are offended by organized attempts to denigrate or trivialize the concept of race, or the significance people attach to it. Third, the response should have the practical aim of confronting the interests that are most responsible for attempts to influence public attitudes towards miscegenation in a way that tends to normalize it, or to make it more socially acceptable. Fortunately, innate propensities continue to be the dominant influence on attitudes towards race and miscegenation, insuring that attempts to influence these attitudes have only a limited effect.

In addition to providing a formal response to the attempts of social engineers to deprive the concept of race of its legitimacy, or to reduce normative barriers against miscegenation, the Preservationist Doctrine is also designed to immunize people who support racial preservation against the charge that they are racist. For there is no necessary or even a logical connection between holding the ideal of racial preservation and racism. In fact, the cause of racial preservation can be much better served by people who are not racist and who are not motivated by an overwhelming sense of racial pride. There is more than enough emotion on both sides of the issue. If one genuinely cares about the cause of racial preservation, it is better that one's support for the cause should be grounded in reason, rather than emotion. In fact, if one goes on record in support of the Preservationist Doctrine, it should mean that one has made a commitment to the preservation of race per se. Necessarily, this means that one is committed to the preservation of all races, and not just one's own race. But, even this may not be sufficient to deflect charges of racism against those who support the cause of racial preservation. However, in leveling such charges, one's accusers will be placing themselves in an untenable position. A close examination of the Preservationist Doctrine reveals its opposition to racism.

The marital decisions of millions of people continue to confirm the legitimacy of the principles that stand in support of racial preservation. Interracial marriage remains the notable exception. But even while miscegenation remains the exception, we cannot ignore the fact that over recent decades, the forces which have been most actively involved in the attempts to normalize and promote miscegenation have made their intentions more obvious. And, for as long as their campaign continues, we can expect it will have some marginal effect on the attitudes of people who are most susceptible to such influences. Hence, we must ultimately be just as concerned with these forces as we are with the individuals who choose to miscegenate themselves. For, as a result of their influence, many people who might otherwise be more naturally inclined to marry within their race may elect to miscegenate instead.

Fortunately, and for most people, reason, knowledge, common sense, and innate behavioral tendencies continue to exert the most powerful influence on the formation of their attitudes about race and miscegenation. And, for the time being, most people have been able to resist the attempts by powerful cultural elites to re-engineer the public's attitudes towards race and miscegenation. Despite an increasingly intense campaign by social engineers to minimize the significance that people attach to race, most people continue to regard race as an important aspect of their lives, and they continue to regard it as an important source of identity. Consequently, in their selection of close friends, associates, and mates, most people continue to behave in a way that is consistent with the aims of racial preservation. Nonetheless, a formal response was needed to state explicitly, and for the record, why racial preservation is important and why the attempts of social engineers to minimize its importance should be resisted. And, that has been the purpose of this essay. But, this formal response to social engineers in academia, Hollywood, on Madison Avenue, as well as in the Church and the State, will not be sufficient to defend the cause of racial preservation. The ultimate success of this cause will depend upon the participation and commitment of the average person. Having said this, here are a number of things you can do to support the cause of racial preservation.

1)Join us, by sending us your name, or simply send a blank email with the word "join" in the subject line to: ava@presdoc.com

2)Practice responsible racial associations in your own life. If you have children, impress upon them the need to value racial integrity.

3)Avoid products or services that are marketed by means of advertising that attempts to denigrate or minimize the significance of race, or which would tend to have the effect of reducing social inhibitions against miscegenation. When you see advertising that would have the effect of eroding social norms against miscegenation, boycott the product or service that is being advertised. When the advertising industry insists on playing the role of social engineers, their clients should be made to pay the price.

4)Boycott productions that make it a point to "cross the line," or those which, in their intention or effect, tend to decrease the normative inhibitions against miscegenation. For instance, when you see a television show that even remotely insinuates the acceptability of miscegenation, turn the channel. If you have any idea that a movie plays upon a racial theme in an attempt to influence public attitudes towards miscegenation, don't go see it.

5)Help to raise awareness of the Preservationist Doctrine and help promote a "healthy" racial consciousness.
