    So the OP is saying if we could somehow create a separate but equal situation where the races just did their own things it would be genius.

    Have we tried anything like this?

    The irony is that for the better part of mixed black and white race history in the Americas, the offspring were a result of white men “taking” black women. I’m a descendant of one of those transactions. It’s only relatively recently that a black man and a white woman could have relationships and/or offspring in the USA without serious consequences for one or both parties.

    Another irony: men who view themselves as being entitled to women - essentially speaking about them like chattel - failing to understand that their views about women is part of the reason they turn women off.

    If we are talking about black supremacists moving to Africa then I'm good with it. As I would be good with any "insert race here" supremacists leaving the country. While that would be good I don't think we are talking the numbers that would make a difference in our population.

    The Lincoln administration encouraged immigration (Sierra Leone). My understanding is the effort was not particularily successful.

    Since time immemorial. If one is Catholic, one should consider this issue profoundly, since that particular group has it in for the female set, given their domineering
    rules and regulations over that sex.

    WTF did that rotting corpse Limbaugh do to your head? Wanting to avoid persecution is not the same as feeling more comfortable around people you more closely identify. You don’t get to use racism victims trying to avoid racism to justify your vile racist morals.

    The IRONY my good friend Murph is that there is no damn (purity of race). A total fiction.
    The more science learns about evolution, population spread and demographics and cultural and species in-breeding,
    their is no such a thing as a "pure race" by blood.

    One of those assinine human constructs that the ignorant refuse to let go of.

    If DNA research is to be believed every Human Being on this planet is a still hardly understood admixture from
    interbreeding among several "Hominin" species AND in different ERA's. Some of us have Denisovan markers.
    Bad news racist caucasians: You got AFRICAN in you! Deny it all you want through ignorance but it is a FACT.

    Everyone, including you and I have Neanderthal genes. Everyone, including you and I are an admixture, among the countless
    "tribes" and among many, now mainly extinct hominin species, that took eons to develop.

    Just my opinion of course.

    I identify as beige. I’m one of the Beige Peoples.

    I am 1-3% N. African though so apologies for taking a white woman from the pool that Louisiana had to choose from.

    The percentage of Americans who are Hispanic is obviously increasing. I personally don't think noting measurable demographic changes is a conspiracy theory. I think the conspiracy theory (at least the one prominent in the United States) is that there's an actual, secret plot that's being perpetrated by leftist elites (almost always led by powerful Jewish individuals) which will over time result in the extinction of the White race.

    What’s hilarious is that the only thing in common between most countries of Africa and African Americans is sometimes skin color and maybe some ancestry. Outside of that they are, in general terms, quite different culturally.

    I often wonder what the people who believe this think of like Texas (and kinda the whole Southwest), where there are endless Republican dudes named like Colin Lopez, who drive big trucks, like the Cowboys and are just as reactionary and racist about the border as they are. Like, I dont think the "replacement" is exactly working lol.

    Your desire to live with "your own kind" says way more than you realize.

    My two nephews, both black, are beautiful examples of my white sister not deciding to stick to "her own kind". She adopted and is raising these amazing young men and they are just as much "my kind" as my white nephews and nieces.

    And my kids see them as the exact same as their white cousins.

    I would like the OP to explain how the color of your skin dictates what "kind" someone Is?

    Your post if pretty gross actually.

    I acknowledge that attitude is out there with white men. Do you acknowledge, though, that it’s almost universal trait among men in general? That Asian guys, black guys, Hispanic guys, Jewish guys all tend to bristle when they see women of their race in romantic relationships with men of a different race? That the feeling is even more pronounced when it comes to fathers and their daughters? I’ll bet every guy on here, regardless of race, has a story of being treated with attitude, real or imagined, in situations where they dated outside of their race. My guess is, there’s something more primal going on there than simple racism. I’ll bet it has a lot more to do with the feeling that one’s personal traits are being rejected. And while I think those are important feelings for people to recognize and set aside, it is not any more “moral” or “different” for one group to have those feelings but not another.

    Plan right now long term is to get to West Virginia, eastern Tennessee or western North Carolina if I stay in the eastern US. If I decide on western US it’ll be southern Montana, western Wyoming or northern Utah. That is if I stay in the U.S.

    Perhaps some do, but it seems like "tend to" is going a bit too far. There are insecure men of all races and nationalities, plus all those guys may have fetishes of their own about certain kinds of women not from their background and probably aren't even consistent with their own thinking. There are probably communities where things are more tight-knit where its more unusual (like I'm sure it would raise eyebrows if an Amish girl brought a non-Amish home haha), but pretty much everywhere in regular America where all sorts of people live together I don't think its the norm at all to have that attitude.

    Fair questions. I certainly don't think racism or tribalism are unique to White men (or even to men for that matter). I do sense that the racial resentment and even anger around romantic insecurity seems most prevalent among younger, White men in particular. I suppose it's possible that I just see more of that due to where I'm getting my news and information - which includes but isn't limited to a lot of social media posts that seem to be fanning the pre-existing flames of White male resentment for political ends.

    Anecdotally, my Hispanic friends seemed to have grown up around more girls/women in their circles of family and friends. They learned how to dance. They were used to being around women. In college, they mostly had co-ed parties while many of my fellow gringos were playing video games in their apartments. I'm not sure the extent to which that was by choice or because they lacked a larger social network. The Black friends I grew up with also typically had more confidence and "game" when it came to women than my White friends. If true, I'm not sure I can explain it.

    I don't have children, so I can't speak to that. My older sister dated a man from Haiti several years back and we all (including my dad) really liked him. I was in a relationship with a girl from Guatemala, and got zero sense that her dad or brother felt like her liking me had anything to do with her rejecting her background. It was much more touchy when it came to Black/White issues in the deep South though.

    I'm going to go ahead and posit that people probably have more anxiety about class status, the race/nationality part can add to that. I doubt many many parents will outwardly struggle with their kid bringing home the black captain of the football team, who does good in school with middle class parents. Bring home a guy from the wrong side of the tracks who's parents are split up and who presents himself a little different and seems downwardly mobile, I think a different button gets activated - and people might be less forgiving or willing to see the potential of someone outside their same background, even if they are a decent person.

    Kevin Bacon’s quote from a few yrs back stuck with me- “Old white guys like me need to shut up and listen”.
    We need just a little bit more of that.
