Interesting. Slow and he repeats himself a lot, but still interesting. And hard to assail, although I can well imagine white supremacists, especially the KKK going after him. "Mongrelization" is one of their hot-button topics. I wrote a paper proposing mongrelization while an 11th grade student and, after reading it aloud in class, a riot almost ensued

It's not "White Culture" that's being destroyed it's our "American Culture" that is disappearing because of the dilution caused by the mixed cultures introduced into our country. If we had rules and told all immigrants what Teddy Roosevelt suggested to all immigrants entering our country back in 1907. Some of you have seen or read this and I just want to put it in here again and lets apply these suggestions of Roosevelt's to the idea that our White Culture isn't dying with, our White Culture is disappearing.
Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN
"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." So Roosevelt felt there can not be divided Americans. You either are an American or you are not.
There is no room for Irish-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, German-Americans, Black-Americans, Italian-Americans, etc. He felt that you left that behind you when you sought citizenship in our country and you should embrace the American Culture, Our Flag, Our Constitution, Our laws and look what a mess we have made with our country by trying to assimilate to all of these other cultures! We need to fight back and say we're not going to take this assault of our history, our government, our country and our way of life.

"American culture" has never been a thing, it's a homogenization of all those that make us up. The closest thing to "American Culture" we have, is the scars and atrocities we have done to oppressed groups in our nation over it's short history.
