Whites are a minority in the world, yet are so often pointed out as the cause of most of the worlds ills.

Envy is a great part of the antipathy toward whites and the civilizations they built. Those civilizations have been spectacularly successful the past 500 or so years, with nothing else remotely approaching their accomplishments. Most of the world wants what those civilizations have created.

Whites must be blamed for anything they can remotely be blamed for, otherwise, those from the much less successful civilizations would have to look at themselves and their homelands and ask what they did wrong, or why they were unable to accomplish what the white-European civilizations accomplished. Easier to say the evil white devils stole their success and exploited all the less successful societies. And, of course, any and all have every right to come to the West and claim what is rightfully theirs.

The article talks about racial intermarriage and what impact that might have on whiteness - especially if the offspring of these marriages identify as white. That’s a good question.

I am Scotch-Irish. My wife is an American of Chinese ethnicity. Our daughter married a young man who is half Italian and half Mohawk. They are both conservative and identify themselves as white. What is our Celtic-Chinese-Italian-Mohawk granddaughter going to call herself? I don’t know, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it will be “white.” Especially if she adopts the respect for western civilization and its culture that her parents and grand-parents have.

I work with a Black Evangelical. She received text messages the day after the election from different sources. The messages said ‘they wouldn't give us 40 acres and a mule, so we'll take 50 states and the White House’. Many Blacks will not be satisfied until Whites are oppressed like Blacks were. I wonder if these Blacks have ever thought about how it feels to be White and be required to take the blame for things that happened 100-200 years before we were born?

...white countries...most hated.

It's defined as envy.

White Americans are their own worst enemy, giving up their own best norms, e.g. self-restraint, high achievement, and delayed gratification for self-indulgence, having whatever cheap fun you can have at the moment with little thought for family, posterity, or even one’s own future. Even illegitimacy is widely considered just fine among whites, now, cranking out kids and maybe not even knowing who the father is, and the idea that the good life consists of knocking back 40s, doing drugs, sleeping with whatever lowlife happens along, and letting one day blur into the next with no effort to build something of lasting value. To a great extent, one might say that white is the new black.

You forgot the barf alert on this breathless ejaculation that veers self-adoringly between shallowness on the one hand and superficiality on the other.

Well this is very important from the 188th most read magazine in America.

More people read Kentucky Living than this piece of trash.

You’re so mean.....

Hey, I bet it’s hard for a black man to breath through
a Doris Day nose.

No, now that’s too much, I shouldn’t have said that.
I have, and have had many black friends in my life.

But that is funny ain’t it.

They are all leeches on your wallet and mine.

Can we change the word "leeches" to "thieves"?

Obviously the words don't mean much. We all gripe and nothing changes.

Doris Day nose? I thought is was the snout from a baby pig, Damn I am so confused.

Funny yes, cold and mean hearted, yes!

Didn't he convert to Islam? oh thats not going over very well when he finally gets caught with an underage boy by a parent with an Uzi and stands before Allah (since that is his persuasion, not that I buy that for a sec)that whole pig nose is going to be an issue.

I think maybe you need a time out.

What will America look like without Whites?

We're getting a glimpse of it now. For example, you'll hear a foreign language being spoken among customers in just about every store you enter.

If some day Whites become the minority in the United States, in a large way we have caused this ourselves, I believe. Maybe I'm wrong, but it looks to me as though most white couples decide to have no more than three children.

Why? Lots of different reasons, I suppose. A pricey house plus husband and wife careers explains why some stop at having one or two children. Their lifestyle comes first (and too often supersedes the time they can spare for the kids they do have).

I wonder why they made Obama so white (with grey hair) in that photo?

The photo on the left has harsher lighting, so his skin looks lighter. In the photo on the right, he almost appears to be wearing make-up.

The difference in hair color between the photo on the left (grey temples) and the one on the right (dark temples) is striking. Was he a friend of Miss Clairol? ;-)

Well, not exactly. Despite the laxity of our federal government, foreigners do not have the right to invade our borders.

Those who have antipathy toward the western world which benefited from their own industrious endeavors have no valid reason to make us their enemies.

To apologize to the Muslim countries, for one, is shameless and stupid.
