If we had even 60 percent of the productive types as ethical, strong, wise, and patriotic we would have a chance but it is very disheartening to see a Yankee state like Iowa which is still at least 92 percent White go heavy for a man like Obama. So many hardworking Whites have gone completely clueless, have no sense of self, and of course in some areas there are huge numbers of Whites on welfare.
The hillbillies of a place like Hancock County, Tennessee were poor but proud and independent in the old days. Today they have satellite dishes, food stamps, and are knowledgeable of all things Hollywood.
Speaking from my neck of the woods, the descendants of the proletariat who used to provide un and semi-skilled laborers in the factories of Newark, Paterson, Brooklyn, etc. who did NOT end up with advanced degrees and white collar jobs are now largely employed, directly or indirectly (via contracts for waste disposal, construction, etc.) by the state and local governments, which is why NY and NJ teeter on bankruptcy.
