Earlier this month a demographer in Texas cause something of a stir with a report headlined: "It's basically over for Anglos". Fundamentally what he was saying was that within a few decades Hispanics would be the majority in Texas. Two out of three children in the state are already non-Anglo, and the minority birthrate far outpaces whites.
That was followed up this week by a report in the Wall Street Journal discussing the fact that the overwhelming majority of the growth in the United States population is coming from – and will continue to come from – minorities, particularly Hispanics and blacks. At the current rate, whites will be a minority in the United States soon after 2040.
The ramifications from that change could be significant. How? Minorities have higher crime rates, higher welfare rates, higher dropout rates, higher unemployment rates, more child poverty, lower literacy rates and more unwed mothers than whites. To the degree that those elevated numbers become the norm, that is problem.
One narrative from this data might suggest that the prospect of whites being a minority has great dangers in terms of the continued economic and social well being of the United States.
That is not the narrative I would posit however. Rather, I would suggest that the color of the skin of the majority of the American population today or in 2040 is of no consequence.
While it is beyond dispute that whites have been behind the majority of the advances of the last two centuries, the truth of the matter is that it had nothing to do with their DNA and everything to do with America’s entrepreneurial spirit, something that was denied for 150 years to many minorities. From Elisha Otis to Charles Goodyear to Kemmons Wilson to Bill Gates, it was the free market that allowed these men and many others to transform the world. Importantly, free markets can only thrive within a political framework of individual liberty and private property, and those laws don’t care about race.
The problem with the future of America is not that minorities will eventually be the majority, but rather that anti-capitalist liberals may eventually be the majority. Put another way, the problem for America’s future is not that there are too many minorities, but rather too many minorities may end up as liberals.

This is the crux of the problem. The redistributionist class will have a permanent majority in the government.Where will the country’s productive people flee to when this happens?
America will slip into third world status.
Already Brits leaving there to go to Australia. Maybe Americans can move to Canada.

Already happening in California...They got Dilbert Dumb Butt elected governor again.
Smart Americans with actual skills will move to the Eastern Bloc or Russia. Many are living in Thailand and other East Asian countries. South America is another possiblity, mainly where there is no embedded welfare structure to enable the lazy.

Let me know because I’m in - bags will be packed!
The problem is that there are too many minorities. Few come to really build a life, but prefer to build a bank account and use taxpayers as the source. They aren’t leaving their ingrained cultural beliefs behind and accepting this new country as it is.
Exactly, if most of the blacks were like Allen West, this country would be much better off. It's not about skin color, it's about attitude.
I suggest that this globalist kumbaya writer please go live in a majority non white place of your choosing. Just leave those of us who value our heritage, safe neighborhoods, prosperity, Western Culture etc out of it.
I have no fear of being a minority.
I have a fear of being a minority to those who have been taught for generations that I owe them something and that they must take revenge on me.

Met a couple recently from Berlin that said they would never make the move to America if they had the choice again because people live much better for less than in America. I don’t know that to be a fact.

I suppose you never thoguht the day would come when someone would say taht to you about America.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

You would if you weren’t afraid of being attacked for it.
All you have to do is look at Detroit or any nation dominated by Black/African people to find out why the fear is there - they are all third-world hellhole basketcases!
Who in their right mind would want that?
Well, once America is on her knees, she can pray to God to help her get back out.
And the liberals will be able to be tossed off all the more easily.
In reality blacks and hispanics will fight to see which group gets the final vestiges of wealth. After the struggle the victors will seize and consume the remaining wealth. Then culturally the world will return to a subsistence economy and biological rhythms will govern again.

AMEN, absolutely!
