Rearing Honorable White Children in the USA

I don’t remember how I found this article or when. I’m guessing someone shared a link somewhere and it was in the past five or six years. Rearing Honorable White Children was written in October 2001, four and a half years before I would start blogging and five years before I became a parent.

When I read it the first time, I remember feeling like I was reading some kind of written contraband. It wasn’t exactly the kind of article you would share with your mainstream family and friends.




Now I wonder if every White parent had read it in 2001 and taken it seriously, where we might be as a country.

As you read the article, think about how you would have read it in 2001. How you probably would have reacted to it in that time and place with the mindset you had at that time. Maybe it wouldn’t have felt like contraband to you. But I think most White Americans, especially conservative and Christian White Americans, would have called it racist and anyone who shared it a racist.

At the same time, reflect on how prescient this article was in so many ways.

What links these parents is a conviction that they are bringing up their children in hostile territory. As they see it, their kind has been hammered relentlessly in the culture wars waged against whites in this country for decades. Their heritage — Western history and traditions — has been denigrated, their race linked to oppression and racism, and their racial consciousness, pride, and commitment demonized. The shallowness and egoism of modern life run counter to their values of dignity, discipline, and responsibility.

    There is a reason I now capitalize White when writing about White people.

    White people have two options.

    I thought another issue a few months ago might have been the tipping point. But I have no doubt now. THIS is the tipping point.

    Pray for President Trump and our leaders to handle this well. The rage that is building among White people can either be used for good or evil.

    Recognize where we are when White men with a large platform feel free to write something like this on Twitter/X.

    Far more people agree with this than we are led to believe. That number is rapidly rising every single day. What happened in Charlotte didn’t just move the Overton Window.

    It shattered it.

    They all go back. All of them.

    And now Charlie Kirk.

    Understand where we are right now as a country.

    I don’t believe in coincidences that I posted this post today.

    I won’t be writing a post specifically about the Charlie Kirk assassination or going in-depth on it. I explained the other day that I am emotionally drained from sounding the alarm for years. I just can’t do that kind of content in long-form any longer.

    It was only a matter of time before we hit the tipping point. I’ve tried to prepare people in my little niche of the internet for many years. I’ve encouraged people to dig into controversial topics because so many American Christians are totally unprepared for what is unfolding. No, I am not talking about the so-called end times. I am talking about the reality we are facing.

    I had this article about “Rearing Honorable White Children” on my list of potential topics for years. I never even shared it on my political site where I often wrote about The War on White People. I try to wait and share things when I think the time is right. People can only digest so much at once and I didn’t think enough people were truly awake to the reality of what the end goal is regarding the existence of the White citizens of this country and the world.

    I thought about sharing the article the night before and decided to wait until morning. I had no idea that would be the day Charlie Kirk was assassinated (although in retrospect I should have known something big would go down yesterday because that just seems to be the way things play out for me).

    If someone can’t see the connection between the article and Charlie’s death, then she/he still don’t see the very big picture of what is going on.

    That’s it for now.

      Yep, the connection did cross my mind. Not just what Charlie stood for, but he is White. More than one reason not to have him around sadly. It makes me angry.

    They are not telling us the whole truth about what happened with Charlie Kirk. I am not alone in sensing this. There is something else going on beyond what is public.

      I don’t like wondering if I’m being deliberately lied to by the omission of all the facts.

        Clearly omission of facts. There is something else going on. People are thinking we will never get the truth about this either. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention how similar this assassination is to the attempted one on Trump. It’s eerie.

    At the time of this article, I wasn’t married yet but had been greatly exposed to homeschooling through some friend, so understood some. What I didn’t understand is the dislike of White people especially males until recent years and the racism some people have against Whites. I never imagined our world and the racism that is out there would be what it is now. They don’t like us, who we are or our values. Plain and simple.
