Some seem to resent my lack of shame and expression of pride in being white.
I don't think resentment is the sentiment you're looking for. It would be more like revulsion or repugnance. But these days it's not surprising to encounter people who display their racism openly.
They stupidly equate that to KKK and such stupidity.
Really? And how would you know that, given that you're the only one to mention the KKK in this thread (until now - whoops! ).

In racism, I just see more positives than negatives because it is generated by love and fellowship.

I celebrate the positives, while mitigating the negatives.

You focus on negative racism and ignore that it's positive sides, we all practice.
There might be something worth discussing in there, but you rarely post more than three sentences, so discussion isn't possible.

Wrong.
No, it is correct. The first mention of the KKK in this thread was by you in Message 150. The second was also by you in Message 182 where you accused people here of equating racism to the KKK.
I did not initiate any talk on stupid supremacist groups.
If by "talk" you mean "discussion" then technically it's true that you initiated no discussion since you don't do discussion, but the first two mentions of the KKK in this thread were still by you. Subsequent mentions of the KKK were merely calling attention to this fact.

"Abortion restrictions have the greatest ill-effects on minorities:"

In social terms, I agree.
Let me know if you'd like some help using the quoting codes. I'd say the codes are a 10 and up kind of thng, so they're pretty easy.
The ill-effects suffered by minorities during pregnancy care and childbirth are tangible and real. The most famous recent example of a minority receiving inadequate childbirth care was the birth of Serena Williams daughter in 2017 when she suffered what she described as a near-death experience as she experienced blood clots in her lungs and a hematoma in her abdomen.
Black, American Indian and native Alaskans have pregnancy related mortality rates that are two to three times higher than for white women and increasing with age:
Minorities forced into an involuntary birth but unable to afford normal pregnancy care will suffer a higher rate of risk factors that result in infant mortality.
Watch the delinquent and jail records.
Disadvantaged, neglected and discriminated minorities will of course suffer higher delinquency and incarceration rates. Their right to vote will be compromised. They will suffer higher mortality rates at the hands of law enforcement.
Non-whites will also will gain demographically and that will be the great benefit that overrides the ills.
Our efforts should be directed at obtaining appropriate care for all prospective mothers from conception to childbirth and beyond. Potential future demographics should be the least of our concerns.

When and if women are forced to have children,...
That time is already here, and of course you know this because that's why you started this thread.
...it will become the job of the forcers to insure a good outcome.
Agreed, but they see their responsibility only as insuring that pregnancies are carried to term.
I couldn't ferret out a rational interpretation of the remainder of your post and so won't respond.

Just putting correct information out there, there were 63.1 million households with children as of 2020. Here are the percentages:
Two parent households83.4%
Single parent households female12.4%
Single parent households male4.3%

Check my stat above.
Your "stat above" has nothing to do with what you said in Message 221, which was this:
Greatest I am in Message 221 writes:
50% of all households in the U.S. are manned by single women.
Your "stat above" (Single Mother Statistics (UPDATED 2022)) does not confirm this claim, indeed says nothing at all about how many households are "manned" by single women. Just a bit a casual thought reveals your statement as self evidently false, so I provided some accurate information, here it is again:
Two parent households83.4%
Single parent households female12.4%
Single parent households male4.3%
And this information is consistent with your "stat above", which says that 80% of single parent families are headed by single mothers. If you do the math on the statistics in my table you'll arrive at a number that is in approximate agreement: 12.4/(12.4+4.3) = 74%.
So to summarize:
What you said in Message 221: Patently incorrect
Your link to a webpage of statistics about single mothers in Message 228: I didn't check the numbers, but they seem reasonable
