And that goes for anybody else who’s done the same.

The folks who think they own the future based on “demographic trends” are in for a rude awakening.

“Far from being something to fear, Milbank writes, this “is to be celebrated. Indeed, it is the key to our survival.” Immigrants pouring in from the Third World will bring a “fresh labor supply” and “fresh blood to cure us of what ails us.” A tired America will be revitalized.”

Two decades ago BJ Clinton attended a ceremony marking the tipping point in California; whites had dipped below 50% of the population. How did that work out for them? Are the few prosperous parts of the state happy providing every necessity (and many luxuries) for the rest? It killed the state; the non-whites weren’t just coming here for the “American Dream” - plenty of them were coming to re-distribute the fruits of whites’ labors.

The US will no longer have a white majority much sooner than these stories project; they must be using antiquated birthrates. I’d be surprised if we reach 2020 with a white majority. Anyone who has seen playgrounds, schoolyards, and maternity wards knows these projections are absurd; they are being thrown out there to prevent a panic and/or reaction. We were told blacks would be passed by Hispanics in numbers by 2010, and immediately after the 2000 census we were told it had already happened; why would this be any different?

“I believe the remark...”We should have picked our own cotton” has the ring of truth...”

I don’t think blacks are even a factor in t his; since the Welfare Reform of 1996 their birthrate has fallen significantly. In my area black neighborhoods are becoming very Hispanic; they have a higher natural birthrate reinforced by new immigrants all the time (we’ve had a de facto amnesty here in NJ for years).

As long as whites won’t breed, they are removing themselves from the future.

Thanks, we strive to please.

Here’s your problem, as I see it. I doubt there’s any state in the country where you could get even 20% of the population to support secession.

That 20% would, I guess, be seceding because they want to return to the true principles of the American Revolution. But that Revolution is based on giving the people the power.

So your revolution/secession would have to be staged against the considerable majority of the people, in the name of rule by the people.

How’s that work?

Your ‘regions’ are states; my map showed much smaller ones: counties.

The high population centers overwhelmed the more sparcely settled rural ones when the votes were totaled for the states.
