Politically, they vote as a block, which helps as well—they were more than a quarter of Obama’s support.

Some Americans have worked long and hard against the impulses and structures of racism. Demonrats are trying to bring back a power of racism - minorities against whites.

But a lot of minorities don’t like racism, either. They have an independent brain and see the Left’s racial manipulation for the power of hate and poverty.

Repugs. flourished when they addressed people beyond race within AMERICAN middle class ideals of freedom and justice and denounced liberalism’s smallness and darkness - sin, death, envy and racism.

Those graphs are incredibly deceiving—offering % of population and % of the vote received by each party on the same line, as if the numbers were representing the same thing.


I agree. This is mostly statistical junk.

“Point being, don’t believe the straight-line extrapolations of ‘white decline’.”

I have noticed that the rule with the left seems to be that anyone who claims to be black or hispanic automatically qualifies as such while to be white one must be one hundred percent pure caucasian and cannot have brown eyes or the slightest hint of melanin. Years ago I was working on a piece of equipment at a plant and the room was filled with black guys who were gloating over the dominance of the boxing game enjoyed by black heavyweights. One of them asked me to name the last white heavyweight champion. I responded that to the best of my memory it was Ingemar Johannson. They didn’t want to count him because nobody remembered him or he hadn’t been champion long enough or something. I said how about Rocky Marciano, he retired undefeated and he beat the great Joe Louis. They then responded that Marciano was “not white, he was Italian”.

Which brings up the point of what is “white” vs. what is genetically “Caucasian”.

To many, white is the British Isles, Scandinavia, Germanics, Slavics and French.

While technically the Caucasian world includes the rest of Europe, Northern Africa, the Middle East, nearly all of the western Asian steppes on down to much of the Indian sub-Continent, the latter three groups tend to qualify for affirmative action benefits along with so-called Hispanics, even if they look like Cameron Diaz.

As for boxing, last I checked the two best heavyweights in the world are the Brothers Klitchko from Ukraine. ;)
