CA Hispanics to Outnumber Whites by End of Year

According to figures revealed in California Gov. Jerry Brown's 2013-14 budget proposal, the number of Hispanics will be equal to the number of whites by July of this year--39% of Californians will be Hispanic and 39% will be white then. By the end of the year, the number of Hispanics will outnumber whites.

In addition, the report found that 80% of Hispanics in California are younger than 50, compared to only 73 percent of whites.

The report notes that "as many in the non-Hispanic white population retire, they will be replaced by a more diverse workforce.”

Hispanics made up 12 percent of the electorate in 1998. In 2012, though, they represented 20% of the electorate...

Judging people based solely on their skin color is evil.

Agreed. However, you are confusing two issues, in exactly the way that the anti-American left wants you to - you are assuming that culture = race and race = culture. Slavery was wrong, but not because slavery in the USA consisted of white people enslaving black people, but because slavery is wrong REGARDLESS OF THE RACE OF THE SLAVES. Sure, American slaves were black, but if American slaves had been white also (as indentured servants were, essentially) then we wouldn't be arguing about racism, would we? We'd be arguing about slavery as an institution.

Undoubtedly, most white people in the slave days thought that black people were inferior, but in those days, all people thought people of other races were inferior. It was the way of the world. The Chinese thought round eyes were inferior. The Japanese thought Europeans were barbarians. Blacks would have killed or enslaved whites if they could. Heck, even the British thought the French were inferior, and they were essentially the same race! Only in the 20th century, when it suited the anti-Americans and the anti-westerners, did "racism" become such an unthinkable sin, as a way to instill antipathy toward their own culture in impressionable western youngsters.

The point is that judgments in this day and age are not about race - they are about culture, even while the Left claims they are about race. So, if we examine the nature of certain cultures, such as the homicidal culture of Muslims, or the criminal culture of American blacks, or the narco-terrorist, socialist culture of Mexicans (and obviously these simplifications don't encompass the whole of these cultures), we find things to be alarmed about, but the Left stops that sort of rational thinking short by crying "racism" so that we are afraid to address these realities openly.

In essence, the fear of a black man is not because of his black skin, but because he is part of a culture that glorifies violent, criminal behavior, yet the evil Left would have you believe that it is because of skin color.

Excellent post. I understand your point. My point was simply that America once had separate treatment under the law based on race (we still do, it’s called affirmative action). That’s wrong. At the same time, you’re right.

Let’s consider immigration. It’s not racist of me to not want to import a bunch of poorly educated people who are dependent on government. It’s also not racist of me to oppose illegal immigration because I cherish the rule of law. However, the left would call me a racist, because illegal immigrants are predominately people of color.

Brought to you by self loathing white liberals who see white Christian males as a plague. This was intentional. Libs wanted unrestricted immigration in order to destroy our evil WASP culture. The same thing is happening in Britain. This isn’t about helping the poor and oppressed. It’s about the willful destruction of traditional America while importing a dependent voter base.

You summed it up perfectly. That is the sole reason for the “diversity” push that has been going on for a few decades now.

...concept or [of] “racism” was more a propaganda effort to subdue the countries of white people than an effort to create true equality.

While you are probably right about that in terms of the goal, I can tell you that there truly was racism in this country in the 1950s. There was discrimination and lack of opportunity for blacks then, and it was morally wrong. Many otherwise decent white people accepted this as the status quo.

Of course, today, many in the black community are worse off because of the way the left has encouraged the lowlife segment to expand dramatically.

After the passage of anti-discrimination laws, blacks were coming along, entering job markets and schools formerly closed to them, and being accepted by whites. Great social progress was under way.

The left saw this progress as a problem, as they were then losing an important potential victim group. Thus, the left set about stirring up racial division, and, as you can see, the progressives have been wildly successful.

Unfortunately, I see their success turning up here on this site. Increasingly, there are posts regarding some disgusting ghetto behavior, and I wince when I see comments that lump all black people together with the lowlife contingent.

...and I wince when I see comments that lump all black people together with the lowlife contingent.

I agree with that. I've always thought that it would be difficult to be black in today's USA, not because your average white person is prejudiced, but because so many blacks and white liberals keep trying to push blacks away from success and into failure. Any black American who just wants to get his education and have a successful career and family is criticized as an "Uncle Tom" or a "house nigger", but being a ghetto thug or a welfare ho is "keepin' it real". Imagine trying to raise a black son in this broken culture, where everything spewing out of the TV and the radio is trying to push your son into gangsterism.
