You strike a chord.
Also, we are already at odds racially to some degree. Many blacks rightly or wrongly are quite angry with whites and blame their current status on whites...they will start blaming Mexican peasants soon enough when they begin to usurp entitlements.
Urban black environs are for the most part off limits for whites for safety reasons already and have been for up to 2 generations in some cities.
Whether or not this indicates all out civil war resulting from white reactionary anger is inevitable is highly debatable but the hostilities have already begun to a degree. This creation of danger zones for whites in black environs in the South is fairly new...maybe 15-20 years old now....something I have personally watched develop. The first I ever saw of it was in Harlem in the 60s and I wondered why so many blacks were so openly hostile when down South where they arguably had more reason to be angry, they were not. Now, there is little difference....urban speaking....the rural South is still cool.
Will Amerindian Mexican and Central American enclaves follow suit or have they already....I do not know. Here in Nashville, the answer is not yet. Likewise the black community being rather small by Southern standards (8% metro) is not "Liberty City" hostile. My hometown of Jackson Mississippi is gone....all they lack are necklacings with tires and gasoline. Whites are for the most part are loathed by much of the 80% black community...especially the under 35 males and successful black conservatives are reserved for special vitriol. Some have had to flee if they are too outspoken for fear of assasination by black gangs. Very very disturbing.
Folks in Fargo or Boise haven't a clue about these things. Nobody likes this, but it is happening and nobody will address it hardly. It is not unlike lynchings and far more common than lynching ever where by a factor of 1000.
The writer is correct that immediately removing preferences would be a right step obviously but what are we to do about whites fears about black crime? I don't know. Here, I am lucky. I deal with scores of blacks poor and otherwise and have only had one incident. I deal with many young white black gangsta immitators and have had multiple incidents....so I can empirically say that any fears I have would be more proven about white wannabes than black thugs. Maybe I'm just lucky...not. Nashville simply has a huge white trash element that aside from skin pigmentation hs assumed the worst of black urban culture. I suppose that is diversity at work but I can't say I'm thrilled.

My dad used to deliver newspapers when he was ten (1956-57) in a black neighborhood in Newark. He was never hassled and was treated well by his customers.
Fast forward a few years later, when my Mom needed her father to walk her to school due to the hostility of blacks in the neighborhood she had to walk through (my mom grew up one block from where the black ghetto in Jersey City began at the time).

I'm including a major "race war" element in Domestic Enemies. And keep in mind that three-sided ethnic or religios conflicts conflicts are a special form of hell: witness the Balkans. So with the emerging latino underclass, we are laying in many of the elements of that Balkan horror show.
