As a white man, I’m try to do my part for the preservation of the race. So every time I have sex with a black or Asian woman, I have sex with two white women to make up for it. Women, you could be doing your part by making the above plan possible. ---

> [@TryingToBeRational](#): > > … > > 1. those who are racially conscious - They identify as white and they want the wombs and resources of their families dedicated to raising whites. They lament the future disappearance / extinction of the white race and its unique physical traits, such as thinner facial features, pale skin, green/blue eyes and the various white hair colours. Therefore they neither want romantic involvement with blacks nor for their daughters to birth black children and don’t want to get involved with people who do not follow this same principle. These white people are not all evil racists per se and should not be treated with blind prejudice and bigotry… There are a very large number of humans, and a very large number of white humans in this world. They are not an endangered species. I am enough of a biologist to be sad when we lose an interesting sub-species, but I have zero concern that the future world will be a place where pale skinned, pale eyed, fair haired people don’t exist. Really, that seems like an extremely remote possibility. Well, if it happens, it will be because something bad happens to humans, like thermonuclear war or a really deadly pandemic. Not because of people breeding indiscriminately. > [@TryingToBeRational](#): > > Personally I would treat this like any of the big polarising relationship issues, like vegetarianism, desire to have children, political views, religion etc. Reveal your interracial dating past to your suitor as early on as possible, preferably on the 1st date - it is the respectful thing to do. If this ends the courtship then you were not ideologically compatible and both of you are much better off, and you didn’t waste precious time on building an ill fated relationship… Well, it certainly is polarizing. I happen never to have dated outside my race, but I would certainly not want to date a person who was concerned about whether I had. Yes, I think that’s something you should reveal to a potential suitor early on in courtship. ---

Yes, I think that’s something you should reveal to a potential suitor early on in courtship. I concur; I want it known by anyone interested in me that if they are genuinely concerned whether I dated outside of my race they can rest easy knowing it won’t be their concern for long. ---

You heard the one about the white lady who was dating Gary Coleman? She had a little bit of black in her. ---

It’s this kind of attitude that’s going to lead to the disappearance/extinction of racists and their unique mental traits. You should instead be dedicating your wombs to bringing racists into the world. ---

> [@DigitalC](#): > > I read that article and couldn’t help but think that if there really is a financial drawback to going black (losing your fan base) then it is perfectly reasonable not to do it and not racist at all. Of course they didn’t exactly have any evidence that this was the case. On top if that from the article it looks like the biggest financial drawback is in being yourself a black performer… ---

Has anyone experienced the reverse gender situation – say you’re a guy who has had a relationship with a black woman, and because of that, white women think that you have been tainted? ---

RACISTS OF THE WORLD - I hereby dedicate all the children of my womb to becoming rabid racists, you can use lots of birth control when you have your sweaty, pasty, disgusting congress; I will even name them Hitler and Himmler, and be angry when no one will bake them a cake with their names on it.

I see. It’s based on the heart-warming belief that women, in so far as they have functioning wombs, are tribal resources. Nope, not evil racism at all; just really, really nasty misogyny. ---

These white people are not all evil racists per se and should not be treated with blind prejudice and bigotry. I am curious as to how you would have a “rational” scientifically or intellectually valid way draw these bright lines between races as human physiological characteristics tend to blend into each other across geographies. Are Italians white? Are Spaniards white? Are Americans who claim some portion of American Indian ancestry “white”? How “rationally” are you making these very necessary distinctions in your racial purity game plan? Are Americans who look “white” but have a notable African genetic component in their genome white? [EXCLUSIVE: Watch the moment white supremacist trying to take over North Dakota town refuses to fist bump black host after she tells him he is 14 per cent African](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2493491/White-supremacist-Craig-Cobbs-DNA-test-reveals-hes-14-African.html#ixzz43nQs4TR4) Would you object if Craig Cobbs’ son married your daughter? What would you tell him? Would you want your children to have genetic background testing done on their fiancés? ---
