Multiculturalism and identity politics will turn this country into Lebanon in a few years,,I think that entire movement is malignant to our country. We ought to love one another, be happy for one anothers differences but our common identiy ought to be as Americans.

She looks like Diane Carrolls daughter....

Race is one more fault line among many which will rupture at the outset of CW2. The race hustlers who are crowbarring that divide are going to be responsible for many unneeded casualties.

[Eala]

LOL! The Irish blood laughs too. (Gotta work on those Gaelic insults... *\;-)

A favourite from Gaelic class (for English-speakers): Translate into Gaelic and say out loud (if you dare): "Kiss me, Leave Me!"

[The KG9 Kid]

New white nationalism emerging that foreshadows the potential for a violent racial clash?

Not me, sister.

Don't you know that you can count me out... It's gonna be alright.

I'll take this rubbish a little more seriously when these idiot bleeding hearts start referring to Egyptian, Moroccan and Libyan immigrants and descendants in the U.S. as "African-Americans." After all, the term "African-American" isn't supposed to be about race, right?

RIGHT??

Riiiiiiiiiiiight.

But if you are from Spain, you are not an Hispanic.

cheers mate

What I find really funny about all this "article" is that the whites are essentially being indicted for something that hasn't even happened.

Hell, if anyone wants to see what a mindless violent mob looks like, just use the word "niggardly" in a sentence. The Ignorant Race Card Brigade will be all over you like...well...white on rice.

[Travis McGee]

According to who? Juan Gonzalez from Cadiz is not Hispanic? Does the US Census Bureau know this?

[jagrmeister]

Jack White is your token angry-black liberal columnist. I like how he characterizes white resentment at racial preferences that discriminate against them as "tribalism" as if this is some sort of primitive, subhuman behavior. I think the real cause of racial tension in this country are ethnocentric liberals like White.

[Joe Hadenuf]

The only advice I can offer, is for those in major cities to leave when it's possible. If things ever get real nasty, a smaller town, or more rural area would be very desirable.

[Ramius]

I would agree that "multiculturalism" as it is marketed by today's liberals is a disease.

I don't necessarily agree that it'll turn the U.S. into anything equivalent to Lebanon. I would take issue with the author of this article on that point as well. Yes, I think it will lead to much political upheaval, but I don't yet buy into the idea that it will spawn violence on an kind of massive scale.

[thoughtomator]

The only reason white people have to act collectively on the basis of their own ethnicity is self-defense against those who attack them on that very same basis.

If blacks continue to attack whites because they are white (which they do, and have done for decades now), then there will eventually be a violent backlash, which in turn may result in genocide, and not of white people.

Blacks have a strong survival motive to end the race-baiting. At some point the people they are provoking will act upon the provocation.

[U S Army EOD]

No he is classified as European. Go figure. They can not use any of the quota system reserved for Hispanics.

[Travis McGee]

You certainly will not want to find yourself within a gas tank drive of a major American city.

[Mr. Jeeves]

I don't think violence is in the offing - just indifference. Twenty years ago, a lot of whites cared about black poverty and and were concerned that the lingering effects of racism might be responsible. But now that Jackson, Sharpton and Mfume have gone to that well far too often, whites no longer really care what happens to Black America. Whites certainly aren't going to start hurting blacks, but if they continue to lag behind economically and academically and kill each other off in record numbers, that's no longer any great concern to White Americans. The compassion well has run dry.

[Joe Hadenuf]

We have a government for these matters...its slow as molasses but it works. the pendulum is swinging toward center again

I would disagree, looking at the epic, nationwide lawlessness being created by the never ending flood of illegals into our country.

[Ramius]

Well... technically speaking... "Hispanic" is not a "race" any more than "Italian" is a race. Hispanic is a cultural reference perhaps, but not a separate race.

[Travis McGee]

Do you think that Juan Gonzalez (from Cadiz) is not going to mark "Hispanic" on his college application? Or that his college is going to toss him out because they discover (how?) that he is "European?"

"Hispanic" shows clearly the insanity of racial labels in 21st century America.
