Martyr Made and Rufo clearly have an issue with White identity due to their marriages to nonwhite women. Everyone knows mixed children are more likely to identify with their nonwhite ancestry but apparently their White parent is also more likely to identify with their spouses race.

Lafayette Lee seemed much more open to the idea of Whiteness being part of what makes someone an American, and I would be willing to bet his children are White, unlike Martyr Made.

Hate seeing our regional cultures fade but there is a positive that can come of this: We Euro Americans are a massive group (150 million or more, even if you define it carefully?). And even across a country as vast as the USA, this homogenizing culture means that a white guy in Alabama has far more in common than not with a white guy in Maine. This is only going to grow stronger. Yes, the culture they have in common has some serious problems but (considering what the Afrikaners were able to do for a time) there is room for optimism given how vast we are and will be for decades.

I like that optimism.

An IQ supplement on Thomas Sowell's Black Rednecks White Liberals book would be great Scott. (And your opinion on Sowell) I'm trying to wrap my head around the claim that after 1960, blacks were unluckily psy-oped by big gov to perpetuate "black culture", but before that, they all behaved like white people?? Ummmmm interested in your take.
