Hillary Rodham Clinton is right. She has the broader and whiter political coalition, so she should, by all rights, be the Democratic presidential nominee.
After all, in other realms of the political process, we routinely refer to "black districts" or "Latino districts" and speak of the necessity of those jurisdictions to be represented by black or Latino elected officials. Well, then, because the American population is 66% white, maybe the United States is a de facto white district that should be represented accordingly.
Don't scoff at the idea. Ethnic and racial self-determination have been underlying factors in the formation of modern nations. Israel is one example, along with anti-colonial revolutions and states in the Third World. The principle of ethnic self-determination made its way into the United Nations Charter, and it lurks in contemporary domestic discussions about the political and cultural rights of every kind of minority.
The Clinton campaign's assertion of her electability based on "hardworking white American" voters reveals deep divisions in the Democratic coalition. But it isn't a sign of the resurgence of white supremacy in America. Rather, it is a formal re-articulation of whiteness as a social category and a racial interest group.

USA Fertility Rates by Race
Of U.S. Children Under 5, Nearly Half Are Minorities
By D'Vera Cohn and Tara Bahrampour

washingtonpost.com...Forty-five percent of U.S. children younger than 5 are minorities...
Any mention of “La Raza” = The Race? The racist Latino organization. The Klan with a tan
How about racist organizations for blacks such as Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s church? And the Black Muslims
Hey China is 99.99% Chinese. That must mean China is a racist nation. Same for Japan which which is 99% Japanese
The majority "race" in China is the Han, and they can be quite chauvinistic. Just like everybody else.
all of this was decided by the u.s. congress in 1965.
Wow, if anyone else made comments like these, the LA Times would deride him as a racist...
The bigger question is, will all the new arrivals turn American into what they left behind? It has been impossible that many cultures would ever have produced political and economic systems that would have brought freedom and opportunity to most of their members. Will those from failed cultures begin to unwittingly drag down the culture of the USA, in the name of ethnic pride, down to the level of what was left behind?
Yep. I always remember a documentary I saw years ago about one of those Amazon tribes. One B&W film clip featured some very animated gibbering and gesticulation, seemingly at the edge of violent confrontation. Well, it was a trading parley. The subtitle read, “... What about me! Don’t you think that I want a hammock too!” .... YEAH!
That you ask those questions indicates they haven’t done a good job of integrating into the melting pot yet and aren’t likely to begin to do so as the temperature rises.
We’re looking at the balkanization of America, there will be areas carved out by culture, color and language and there will be continual bloody fighting between the groups.
Will those from failed cultures begin to unwittingly drag down the culture of the USA????
Is there any question!!?? They began, successfully, about 20 years ago.
“In a word, yes.”
And a great many of them believe (or must believe out of pride) that the USA and its white people exploited and stole all their affluence from poor nations, and except for that the poor nations would be the affluent.
So, there’s nothing unique about the USA, at least according to many from failed societies. We just stole it all and they’re gonna take it back, as is their right.
Or they’ll just turn parts of the USA into what they left behind.
"Suggesting that we vote for Hillary because she is a woman is sexist; suggesting that we should vote for Obama because he is black is racist. Suggesting that we should vote for the best qualified candidate - that is Democracy!"
Illegal immigration has made things worse, but citizens -- those who can vote -- are responsible for allowing government, government-run education, and government-distorted health care to descend to the depths they have. If we had decent schools, the graduates might have figured out what was happening to them and put a stop to it.
“all of this was decided by the u.s. congress in 1965.?”
Well, yes. And whites who decided not to have kids anymore.
The sad thing is that there is practically no way to stop this. Unlike France or Italy, my guess is that our nation has no will to stop this whatsoever. We’ve already destroyed our oneness. Minority populations are too large for our politicians to ever consider not placating them.
It would take another September 11. Or at least a move away from familial immigration to immigration based on skill, which is a much better move, anyway.
Otherwise we’re going to continue to be swamped with minority groups who place very little emphasis on education and come from societies who have failed and who failed throughout history.
That said, when you look at the number of babies produced in the United States, it’s pretty evident it’s already too late.
What we have most to fear is not white decline but a failure by new immigrants to assimilate.
In other words, I aint worried. Good night!
