Tucker Carlson: Why Does Every Ethnic Group Except Whites, Have a Right to a Homeland? By Charles Taylor (Florida)
On March 4, 2025, Tucker Carlson, the prominent conservative commentator and host of his eponymous online show, made headlines with remarks that sparked intense debate on X, as captured in a post by @iamyesyouareno. The post features a screenshot of Carlson speaking into a microphone, accompanied by the text: "Tucker: 'Every other group in the world has a right to its own homeland except White people? What? Explain how that makes sense.' He's right." This statement, aired during an episode of his show, reflects Carlson's ongoing critique of what he perceives as a double standard in global ethnic and cultural policies, particularly regarding White populations. The post, which garnered significant engagement, including replies from users like @hunkydory99 and @TheWestWins, positions Carlson as a defender of White identity politics, a theme that has long defined his commentary.
The specific context of Carlson's comments, as pieced together from the X thread and related web results, stems from an interview with Ernst Roets, former Deputy CEO of the far-right South African group AfriForum, on Carlson's show. According to an angrywhitemen.org article dated March 4, 2025, Carlson discussed the concept of a "homeland" for White people, defending Orania—a Whites-only town in South Africa—as a legitimate expression of self-determination. He argued that while the U.S. State Department defends "trans rights in the Donbas" and supports minority groups targeted for genocide having "some measure of self-determination," White people are uniquely denied this right. Carlson's incredulity—"Every other group in the world has a right to its own homeland except White people?"—frames this as an injustice, suggesting a systemic bias against White identity, and he is right. He did not elaborate on specific policies or examples in the quoted X post, but the broader interview context indicates he referenced South Africa's historical treatment of its White minority, particularly Afrikaners, and the global backlash against Orania's racial exclusivity.
Carlson's remarks align with his history of amplifying White nationalist ideologies, as noted in a New York Times article from May 3, 2023, which detailed his private texts expressing racial views and his eventual firing from Fox News. The angrywhitemen.org piece further ties his comments to a defense of apartheid-era sentiments, given Roets' association with AfriForum, which downplays apartheid as a "so-called historical injustice." Carlson's show, now independent on X, continues to push these boundaries, framing White demographic decline—often linked to the "great replacement" theory—as a crisis requiring a homeland solution.
In sum, Carlson's comments, as captured in the X post, centre on his assertion that White people are uniquely denied the right to a "homeland" compared to other ethnic groups, a claim he ties to broader critiques of global policy and identity politics. He provided no granular details—such as specific locations, policies, or legal frameworks—in the quoted statement, but the interview context with Roets suggests he drew on South Africa's racial dynamics and Orania as case studies. Perhaps he sees, as I do, South Africa as the image of the future of former once White societies under the Great Replacement of mass immigration?
