“Non-whites, raised up on anti-white history, will bitterly resent the honors afforded dead white men and the relative prosperity of whites. They will cling to their racial and ethnic identities to distinguish themselves from the shallow consumer culture of the mainstream. Colorblindness doesn’t appeal to them. Colorblindness really only appeals to whites. They will prefer anti-whiteness.”

It sounds like you’re arguing (contra Hanania) that some form of Balkanization is our destiny. But I think that Hanania is correct that this is mainly a black issue. Also, why would Balkanized groups overcome their differences to gang up on whites?

Epic quote. Greatest summary statement of white American identitarianism I’ve seen.

White conservatives "emphasizing the uniqueness of American civilization, our sectional character, and our capacity to reinvent ourselves" as a response to anti-white racism/dispossession is a bit like a person whose primary care doctor tells them they have heart problems and need to see a cardiologist but instead decide to go see a chiropractor. The only way our challenges can ever be seriously met is for whites to become racially conscious and engage in serious identity politics. Enjoyed reading the whole discussion and hope to see more like this.
