It's not a future for "your own children" it's a future for "white children" generally that needs to be "secured" (from whom?) spoken in the context of white supremacy. If it was "I want a nice future for my own children" that would be uncontroversial.

There's no difference between your own children and white children, if you are white, is there? Generally speaking, the future is something that needs securing. If you don't secure your future, you might not have any. One way to secure your future is by learning a valuable skill another one is to marry into a wealthy family. There doesn't have to be a boogeyman threatening your future. Just missing out on opportunities or wasting your life away in idleness can be a big enough blow to ruin your future.

  You'd probably do better not avoiding the elephant sized context in the room here. It makes your replies look deeply disingenuous. To answer your point if I'm white there is still 50% of the equation that might not be. So my children are not necessarily "white" nor would the be considered so by white supremacists. My children might be adopted. My children might have some sort of genetic disorder that causes skin pigmentation changes. I might deeply consider my cats to be my children. Which is without even considering the deeper implications of whether it is simple to define "whiteness". There are plenty of reasons why my own children and "white children" might not be part of the same set.

  Does it apply to your children's children? What if they're not white?
