I feel like the latter is more likely, considering the other garbage those people spew.
Maybe you get to live on the bad side of town in the ethnostate of the good race? Or vice versa?

Yeah you'd probably be fine. "Honorary Aryan" and all that.
Interesting thought though.

They'd probably let you in while sorting out the darker shades, then force you out later if you can't pass for white.

Fucking hell.
I'm sorry, living anyplace for a year doesn't give anyone a fully understand of its 200 years of history. I'm not gunna live in France for one year and then say "I have a full understanding of the cultural dynamics of that country," Mississippi was the last hold out of the KKK, where someone of the most violent acts took place in the south. Almost all the photos of burning crosses are from Mississippi. Also, people in the south have become masters as hiding their racism behind polite language. It is the place where "bless your heart" means "Fuck off you piece of shit."

We jest, but we had Nazi's kill an innocent woman at a protest, another shoot at someone, and a President that called them "very fine people" and then called people protesting systemic racism "son's of bitches" and told their bosses to fire them if they didn't worship the flag (the US one not the enemy [Nazi/Confederate] flags flown by the "fine people")
Then we have folks like Danglars and xDaunt who advocate various aspects of white supremacy with the cover of intellectual engagement
And towns/cities (run by both parties) scattered all around the country where segregation never ended, slavery is alive and well, and police have been found to habitually violate PoC's constitutional rights.
People wonder how you get from a "normal society" to fighting off an ethnostate, take a look around, it looks a lot like this.
EDIT: Can't forget the folks that range from laughing at the idea to those that just don't see how it would ever be their problem so can't be bothered.

Quite the common theme with racist ideas like this.
Perhaps the borders wouldn't be exact but it would be more fluid in transitions, the more "pure" the closer to the center of a state?

Yup, I edited it out because I didn't want to fully make the argument, because you would strawman it and set up an insult - like you've done here.
Of all people it's hilarious that you are the one harping on me for arguing against sticking the head in the sand and ignoring the issue of racism. Curiously, Liquid'Drones second post on the topic made him and me find common ground on the sympathize-topic:

Dear Mr. Scott,
a current reevaluation of your skin color has resulted in reducing your whiteness score from 65% to 52%. As a consequence of this, we request you and your family to move 520 miles eastwards.
Furthermore, we classified your daughter, who had become 16 last year, as 59% white. Thus she would get the permit to settle 240 miles eastward from your current location, in case she decides to live alone.
Best Regards,
A. White
Office for Fair and Appropriate Ethnic Interactions

Either:
A: Force them apart
B: Extrajudicial violence against one or both of them
C: White race traitors lose the privilege of living with the other whites
It's not that neo-Nazis didn't think of this stuff, they just don't mind really crude or violent solutions to it. Remember they hate miscegenation and they don't mind violence, so if you're mixed and they really can't figure out where to put you there's a good chance they just kill you.
In general, any time someone advocates for mass forced migration, a huge portion of the people being moved are generally just gonna die/be killed rather than make the move. And whoever is advocating for it probably knows that, they just don't care. In a good number of cases, "forced migration" is just code for genocide.

Black people aren't full humans in the eyes of the majority of Mississippi. I'm not saying they should stick their heads in the sand, I'm saying one should be able to sympathize (even if they can't empathize) with a teacher stuck in that situation. I'm not saying that taking the book out was the right choice either, but I was pointing out just expecting a teacher to have that conversation reeks of ignorance of pretty much every aspect of Mississippi, from students, to teachers, to administrators, to parents, to local and state politicians, to having the god damn confederate flag on their state flag.
If it was Seattle or something I'd probably be more willing to chastise the teachers, but in a place like Mississippi, I can cut them some slack.

Falwell Jr made this observation on Hannity recently
“I spoke to the President last week and I told him he needs to coin a new term: Fake Republicans. Because that’s what those people you just named are. They’re not really Republicans. We don’t really have a majority in the Senate, and I think that would be a good term for him to start using.”
www.mediaite.com
Honestly, I don't even think he's totally wrong. Susan Collins and Murkowski aren't really republicans anymore, they may as well switch parties. Of course he was referring to Mcconnell and Ryan....
Also, Twitter has apparently decided to update its rules :

Or maybe the president is a fake republican because hes just a reactionary idiot. Hes literaly the useful idioits the real republicans have been trying to use to get power and then ignore beacuse they're at the end of the day a bunch of idiots.

Planned Parenthood, Obamacare, immigration...Iran deal. These are all things Republicans have been foaming at the mouth over. He's definitely going by the Republicans mantra.

Trump is a big fan of conservative radio and decided to make a presidency out of it.

They've been hyping it as the obvious opposition things to be the opposite on. To think they would have supported it otherwise is just silly. Conservatives and republicans would have had things that they would have gotten done with their power and good or bad would have actually done them. Trump doesn't care enough to think through how he wants to get to something better he just wants things to get to where they were yesterday.
