The End of White America? (Atlantic Monthly title)
Atlantic Montly ^ | January/February 2009 | Hua Hsu

Posted on 01/31/2009 7:48:41 PM PST by Lorianne

The Election of Barack Obama is just the most startling manifestation of a larger trend: the gradual erosion of “whiteness” as the touchstone of what it means to be American. If the end of white America is a cultural and demographic inevitability, what will the new mainstream look like—and how will white Americans fit into it? What will it mean to be white when whiteness is no longer the norm? And will a post-white America be less racially divided—or more so?

All that matters, or at least sells magazines.

Martin Luther King’s dream died when he did.

Yeah, demographics are tending away from America being majority white, so what? It’s not trending towards blacks either.

Years ago we had a couple of dozen kids out front playing in the street (a very long cul de sac). There were probably 15 ethnicities represented from all over the world.

They spontaneously decided to play a game and some kid said "Let's split up ~ round eyes there, and slant eyes here), and lo and behold that gave a pretty even split, and had nothing to do with color or skintone or language.

No adult had any input whatsoever to this phenomenon

Democrats are increasingly the party against the anglo-saxon culture and they find the best way to rid of that culture which permeates freedom...is to elminate the one demographic that still heavily supports it: white straight males (without a guilt complex).

If it's the end of “White America” ( why didn't they just go ahead and call it “White AmeriKKKa”?), it's going to be the end of America period. And probably Western civilization also.

Blacks are more racist than white Americans or white anybody. Simple as that. But of course, you can't say or talk about that.

The whole world is more racist than white Americans.

As a percentage of population, blacks are over represented in the our popular and political culture,on TV and in commercials and ad's. They also can't be portrayed in any negative fashion at all now, unlike the evil white male wasp, etc.

The pendulum has swung very far over.

The left wants even more racial division. Which of course means more “victims”, and more poverty. It’s all about control. Booker T Washington was prophetic in his description of the current day activists.

Holy cow! Look at how white his hair is at his temple. That’s not just a few stray greys gained through the strain of the campaign. He looks like a guy approaching 50 whose natural hair color now is largely grey—at least.

Well, based on crime statistics it won’t be a pretty picture.

Didn’t take them long to come out of the closet, did it? Think the Atlantic would have run this before the election?

It will be heavily ‘hispanic’. My only worries with that is not in the character but political beliefs of those that migrate here. Will they understand/respect our countries history and beliefs or will they cling to the spanish belief in socialism?

He needed to look young and energetic while running. Now he wants to look seasoned and experienced. Like Bill Clinton, when you scratch the surface, you find more surface. Keep scratching, and you’ll find there’s no there, there.

Goes to figure that white countries tend to be the most industrial and most tolerant. Yet somehow the most hated.
