I remember this bit but it wasn’t Wal Mart it was a state fair. “You ever see someone so ugly you have to get someone else to verify it? Hey y’all look at that man, over there by the tilt-a-whirl. Don’t look don’t look don’t look. Is that the hairiest back you’ve ever seen? Oh my gosh it’s a woman!! And she’s got kids! Somebody slept with that woman?!?? Oh it’s aunt Betty!”
How many generations does it take to get to this level of inbrededness?

Best viewer comment of all on the first video:
“Everybody is feeling bad for Ray for not being able to speak English, and Ray’s feeling bad for everyone else because they can’t speak dog.”

This kind of transition takes multiple generations of close inbreeding. A single generation of inbreeding just cannot give you these results, if they give any visible abnormal results at all. Nature laughs at kissing cousins, but nature held onto these peoples beer a little too long.

Ewww. I’d kill myself before that.

I guess that explains some of the inbreeded people that I know. You can tell that they are incest by looking at them, but they went to school with me my entire life, drive vehicles, work, and are big into bull riding, so basically they are just like the rest of us, except for their looks. They must be only one generation of inbreeding I guess.

That’s awesome! Also, I believe Ray was straight up eating that can of dip. Dude must have a cast iron stomach!Posted on 7/26/21 at 7:30 pm to VanRIch

That whole video was horrifying. The Whittakers’ obvious congenital problems, the squalor in which they live, the way they seem to be content living like that—well, it’s beyond anything I’ve ever seen. I’ve never been one to advocate for forced sterilization, but damn, if ever there was a case to be made for it, this is it.

They’ve never left the area. I guess when that’s all you know, you don’t want more.

The video stated their parents were double second cousins.

Old telephone man, like I’ve said on here before. I’ve worked in and around these kinds of folks for years. Don’t know if they were inbred or what, but that dazed visage these folks have—I’ve seen that from EBR to Tangi to (especially) LP.
That house—I’ve seen way worse.
My great uncle resembled Ray a lot. He had a severe speech impediment that was nearly impossible to decipher. I found myself being his translator when I was a kid, and when I moved away for a few years, I had to re-learn his speech. No inbreeding there—his siblings all turned out fine. We used the “R” word back in those days.

Whitaker's are good people. You can truly feel the affection in the house.

Everyone associates inbreeding with rural areas, but I also wonder how many people are inbreeding in the city without knowing it.
Example being, someone with kids from multiple fathers who are not present or known, then hooking up with their cousins or half siblings without realizing it. It could explain why there seems to be so much mental illness in the cities.
Another possibility is the population bottleneck from 75,000 years ago. Some type of catastrophe, maybe the Toba supervolcano eruption, reduced the global human population to as few as 10,000 individuals.
True diversity in humans took a major hit. There may have been as many as 4 human subspecies living at the time but only a genetically weakened H. sapiens survived.
While the human brain still advanced the species to the apex of all living things, it may have been made very fragile by the loss of genetic diversity. Today we are nearing 8 billion humans on the planet. We know that mental illness is very common.
In fact, as many as one third of all humans are experiencing mental issues to varying degrees at any given time. It seems that craziness is a human trait caused by a near-extinction event. Because our population has exploded to nearly 8 billion, we see its effects daily.
