To what extent is the white acceptance of miscegenation sincere? For example, many Americans say they would be okay with living near someone of another race, but many Americans refuse to live in “diverse” neighborhoods.
Anecdotally, it seems like a lot of whites are less comfortable with their own children dating/marrying non-whites than they would be with miscegenation in the abstract. I agree the acceptance of interracial relationships is definitely more pronounced now than 20 years ago, especially with white/Hispanic and white/Asian pairings, but I do sense there is still a reticence among white parents about their children dating non-whites.
Anyone who believes there are no genetic/biological differences between blacks and whites is lying to themselves. Black athlete dominate many sports requiring foot speed and leaping ability. Is it racist to notice? Ever heard of the movie, white men can’t jump?
For biological reasons, blacks are more susceptible to sickle cell anemia.
There are other differences as well. Everyone knows that. Many are genetic. A few are cultural.
Obviously, pointing out something is generally true doesn’t mean it is alway true. There are obviously some blacks who are slow and can’t jump.
Hey Highly Respected, why work so hard to prove white people are not racist? Will you do a future post showing most whites are not child molesters? Where does it end? What’s the point? Why dignify the claims of foolish wokesters? Do you think they won’t call you a nazi? Don’t hold your breath.
Every other group on earth prefers to hang out, live by, work with, etc. people like themselves. Such a preference is not a hate crime. It’s human nature. Muslims like living with other Muslims. Jews like living with other Jews. Why deny our right of free association?
I don’t think so. “A better metric for personal prejudice would be to assess Americans’ views on interracial marriage. Nearly the entire American population is fine with interracial marriage, according to polling. Gallup found in 2021 that 94 percent of the population say they have no problem with mixed-race couples. Support for it is universal across all groups. Whites, non-whites, southerners, northerners, young, and old all say they’re ok with it. Every demographic group assessed by Gallup approved it by at least 90 percent. Americans over 50 evinced the lowest support for it at 91 percent.”
You are saying, “see, we’re not racists. We are OK with interracial marriage even.” The fact is most white people live in fear of saying what they think of their daughters or sisters marrying black men, including to a pollster. Most white are afraid of making even the most obvious observations about blacks.
I don’t believe the polling any more than I believe the fake inflation numbers our government publishes. It is all part of the narrative. I am tired of whites who signal their virtue.
No I am just pointing out white views of intermarriage. If you don't agree with those figures, you should write a letter of protest to Gallup. I think they're accurate and you don't provide any counter-evidence to disprove them.
Scott, ask yourself a question. How many whites would admit even to a pollster that they would not want their daughter to marry a black man? (By the way, that is a very different question than asking if they care if people they don’t know have interracial marriages). Also, if the media did more to report on black violence, would the opinion of whites change? What if the media looked at the average IQ of blacks? Would that info compel whites to have an unfavorable view of interracial marriage?
These are all theoretical questions. The latter ones would only exist in a society controlled by right-wingers, and that's not about to happen right now. Im sure people's opinions would be different if they were aware of that. But, the figures are presented as what people believe now. Some may be afraid of pollsters, but acceptance in the abstract indicates more would accept it in their own lives. Nineteen percent of new marriages being interracial (it's probably a higher number for last year) also indicates that there is much less resistance towards it. Are a number of whites still uncomfortable with it? Yes, but they're not about to meaningfully oppose it. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2021/02/25/in-vice-president-kamala-harris-we-can-see-how-america-has-changed/
Also, on the being deathly afraid of pollsters question, how do you explain 75 percent of Trump voters saying they believe in the Great Replacement? That answer would also be condemned as "racist" by the all-fearsome pollster. So why are so many people unafraid to admit to that?
Tim Scott is not based. He previously whined about being targeted by white police during his life and acted no different than a Democrat during the George Floyd incident. He's also supported some amnesty proposals in the past.
There seems to be a great deal of cognitive dissonance with whites who claim to support interracial marriage. If the acceptance rate is truly 90% then why is interracial marriage among whites at around 15%? Lots of white parents are still pulling their precious white kids out of diversifying public schools and whites continue to flee diversifying neighborhoods if their finances allow it.
So I think the whites saying yes in these polls don't want to be labeled as bigots and have the attitude of "miscegenation for thee but not for me". Interracial relationships if fine for someone else just not for them. I'd like to see a poll asking whites if they support interracial marriage to a degree that would lead to their disappearance in America.
It seemed you might be lumping Tim Scott in with the black Republicans who are slightly right of center. Up until recently S. Carolina Republican voters weren't aware that Tim Scott had a white girlfriend so that wasn't a factor in voting for him. But it won't matter because Democrats are so radical and far to the left that GOP voters will cast their vote for him because he is the lesser of two evils. But voting for a black man with a white wife doesn't mean one wholeheartedly supports interracial dating and marriage.
Given the 24/7/365 wall to wall pro-interracial dating/marriage propaganda it's shocking that the interracial marriage rate is still only around 15%.

I think it's sincere enough. In 2019, 19 percent of new marriages were interracial. I imagine that number is higher for 2023 https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2021/02/25/in-vice-president-kamala-harris-we-can-see-how-america-has-changed/
At the same time, whites don't want to live around too much diversity
Hmmm, just guessing that higher crime rates might be a small factor. there are five times more white people than blacks in America; yet in 2019, per the FBI crime reporting, blacks killed more people than whites. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/topic-pages/tables/table-43
We need to stop pretending we are idiots for fear of being labeled a racist.

Hanania says white nationalism is dead. Is there a Hanania/Greer debate/podcast in the works?

Who said he was based? Republicans still vote for him even though I think he's cringe.
Supporting interracial marriage in the abstract means you would still more likely to accept it in reality. There are probably a high number of people who would not want their kids bringing home an outsider. But that's a far smaller number than in years past. Interracial marriage rates are also rising. It's primarily between whites and Hispanics. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2021/02/25/in-vice-president-kamala-harris-we-can-see-how-america-has-changed/
