Some White Trump Supporters Fear Becoming Minority
ABC News ^ | November 2, 2016 | Candace Smith

The gaudy ballroom of the Venetian in Las Vegas was filling up as Wayne Allyn Root, a conservative radio host, warmed up the crowd.

“Hello, rednecks!” he exclaimed.

“I wrote a book called ‘Angry White Male,’” he said. “[Donald] Trump isn’t just a person. He’s an idea. He’s a big, beautiful, gigantic middle finger.”

A middle finger, he said, to those who have ruined the country.

In this sentiment, Root is not alone. Of Trump’s supporters, there are a vocal number who worry about a country that no longer looks like the United States they say they knew or envisioned.

Brian Keith Patterson, a machinist who will turn 40 on Election Day, lives in Hendersonville, North Carolina. With wide eyes and a friendly smile, he said he is a registered Democrat who voted for Barack Obama in hopes that he would heal racial tensions.

But Patterson, who is white, said what occurred has been far from that.

“I’m not afraid to say that I’m in fear for the white man. I’m in fear,” he told ABC News....

Roger that. I really don’t care how much you MSM pukes accuse me of being a racist. You have played that card way to often.

ABC, don’t you get tired of psychologically analyzing people you don’t even know? Can we call it PROJECTING your stuff onto us? Could you just either do real journalism or just close shop? You are such a Pravda mimic these days.

So the corrupt MSM is back on the the racist meme again, huh? I’m guessing this was actually written by John Podesta.

Yep and instead race relations in the USA have been purposely set back 50 years by the Obama/Clinton machine for "get out the vote" reasons

But it’s ok for Hispanics to become a majority through illegal immigration. I think we know who the real racists are.

Are they profiling us?

Dear Always Bill Clinton,

We are tired of being told we are all racists. You have thrown that word around so many times it has now lost its meaning.

Just stop, it’s not working anymore.

They try to make this sound like a bad thing, but let’s face it - if America is to be successful, America needs to remains a large majority white-Euro country.

There is no such thing as “Magic Soil.” Non-white immigrants don’t automatically become good Americans just because they settle here. When you import millions from the Third World, you will end up with a Third World country.

Another day, another Lame Stream Media “white people should welcome giving up their own country and way of life in order to be swamped by third worlders with no interest in freedom” story.

Lame attempt to once again smear the deplorables, but as a black California resident, I don’t blame any white person who fears becoming a minority in America. I don’t see any particular reason to believe that they would be treated well by the majority, nor to believe that people of color acting as a majority would do a better job of running the country.

This same storyline has been recycled every four years since the early 1990s. It has become so predictable that it borders on parody.

Some reporters at ABC are worried that Americans no longer have a need for them.

That tattered, dog-eared scrap of trash is ABC's race card flapping in an unsympathetic wind. They did get this part right:

A middle finger, he said, to those who have ruined the country.

The celebs at ABC don't appear to realize that the finger is pointed at them too. This time it's only a finger.

I do NOT fear becoming a minority (in that if one day I wake up and find that everyone around me has darker skin than I do, I fail to see why that would be a problem)

What I fear is becoming a minority of being someone with BASIC COMMON SENSE surrounded by a bunch of flaming Leftist ideologues. Don’t care what color they are.
