The End of White America?
The Atlantic ^ | January 2009 | Hua Hsu

Posted on 01/06/2009 4:04:43 PM PST by WesA

Whether you describe it as the dawning of a post-racial age or just the end of white America, we’re approaching a profound demographic tipping point. According to an August 2008 report by the U.S. Census Bureau, those groups currently categorized as racial minorities—blacks and Hispanics, East Asians and South Asians—will account for a majority of the U.S. population by the year 2042. Among Americans under the age of 18, this shift is projected to take place in 2023, which means that every child born in the United States from here on out will belong to the first post-white generation.

And that’s the goal. A bunch of peasants ruled by rich white people, mirroring Mexico and other crackpot democracies. Pelosi Galore is the template for the ruler class. Rich and stupid — ya Know.

Sorry. I’m not having any more babies, anchor or otherwise, LOL!

BUT...I know a lot of younger couples that are on their 2nd and 3rd white kid, if that makes one bit of difference.

We’ve got 15 kids in our family. We’ve done our share. :)

That's real nice in theory but the reality of the modern world is far different. Cost of living, neither parent in the home, cost of child care, they all make it hard to have a half dozen kids.

I actually have a subscription to Atlantic. The mag poses as some kind of intellectuial posit to make its readership feel soooo much smarter than everyone else.

There seems to be no end of stupidly juxtaposed articles.

I really need to call in and cancel.

NO, because almost without exception cities with black mayors

You have actually correctly assessed the problem. Our cultural contraceptive and pro-abortion mentality have been working to make us the minority.

Common sense....(it disappears when our faith in God is not active).

White Europe has ended, too. This was the whole setup of the UN — the emigration from non-white to white nations. It was a non-reversible process from day one. If you want to live in a white nation, go to Argentina, Uruguay or the Falkland Islands.

That’s not necessarily true. I know several families that are well off financially that have seven or eight children. I have six myself and I don’t think that I’m mired in poverty.

No, because as it is, we are becoming balkanized.

Samuel Huntington’s True Vision - The fruits of tolerance need roots in the soil of culture and identity.

If I had one book recommendation — another journalistic fad at this time of year — it would be Huntington’s last, Who Are We? The Challenges to America’s National Identity. In it, Huntington argued that American culture needed to be nurtured, not rejected in the name of a “multiculturalism” that too often serves as a stalking horse for anti-Americanism. He recognized that tolerance and pluralism are not modern inventions intended to replace America’s traditional culture, but that evolving notions of tolerance and pluralism are a central part of the American tradition (a point Obama echoed somewhat in his famous “A More Perfect Union” speech on race last March). For example, every civilization has known slavery, but only Anglo-American civilization, fueled by religious and philosophical conviction, set out to destroy it, at enormous costs. Huntington offered “an argument for the importance of Anglo-Protestant culture, not for the importance of Anglo-Protestant people.”

I promise that America does not need to have a white super majority in order to prosper. I cringe every time someone implies that minorities are ok people as long as you outnumber them sufficiently.

The Bad part of the article was a cheap shot at Sarah Palin as playing white identity politics. Not only did she never race bait, Todd is part Native American, so her family is ethnically mixed.

The Good part was that it acknowledged that culture will trump racial identity. If future Americans hold true to the values of the Founders, the color of their skin will be irrelevant.

I sure am glad all that diversity training we invented, endured, and based our society’s stability on will save us from tribalist nonsense and racial preferences when White becomes the new Black.

Why on earth would you think that?

Gee, I think he's basing it on the vast empirical evidence presented by the rest of the world, which is predominantly non-white.

If you lived in a rich man's house, would that make you a rich man yourself?

Or would you just be a guest, living on someone else's accomplishments?

Those with “special status” as in affirmative action preferences have been in majority status for decades because of the inclusion of women.

White males have been in the minority and discriminated against for at least 25 years.

How come only poor people have big familys?

Complicated answer:

Because "white culture" (Anglo-European), mostly, prizes self-sufficiency and planning ahead. Until they believe they are able to supply at least a similar if not better lifestyle as they enjoy for their children, whites don't breed.

Basically, its decisions are based on financial reasoning, a sense of individuality, and not the joys of "family".

Non-white cultures prize emotion, family, and are not big on planning or self-sufficiency (Exhibit A: Zimbabwe. Exhibit B: Mexico).

This is why there is no African space program, or South American genome project. It is also why these areas suffer from population explosions, driving existing populations into deeper poverty, and spreading the results of their outlook to western civilization through soft-headed immigration policies.

Hispanic isn’t a race, it’s a language group. I used to work for a fellow from Argentina who told me, “When I got on the plane in Argentina, I was an average sized white guy. When I got off in America, I was a short Hispanic. Hell of a flight.”

Skin color doesn't matter but culture does. I see race wars in the future. It's like watching some slow motion, neo-nazi horror movie slowly take place before my eyes and I can't stop it.

The best scenario - some cataclysmic event that forces the military to take over. But that is dependent on who leads the coup - much of the top brass are liberal idiots. Second best civil war/ race wars. (What kind of sick statement is that?) Worst case - socialism slowly constricts the country and conservatives go down without a fight. For all the talk on this forum, when the Man shows up at the door to confiscate weapons, most will comply.

There are already urban areas today into which “whites” hesitate to venture. In L.A. we already have minorities shooting each other. Some prisons are segregated by race to minimize violence. We are already fragmented. We’ll just become more so.
