America no longer white, united, English-speaking

In 1960, when JFK defeated Nixon, America was a nation of 160 million, 90 percent white and 10 percent black, with a few million Hispanics and Asians sprinkled among us.

We were one nation, one people. We worshipped the same God, spoke the same English language, studied American history and English literature, honored the same heroes, read the same books, watched the same TV shows, went to the same movies and saw ourselves as defenders of Western civilization against the godless communism of the Soviet Empire.

We were confident and proud of who we were. That was yesterday. But due to the Immigration Act of 1965 and the cultural revolution of the '60s, that America is now gone forever. And as one studies the latest projections of the Census Bureau, the America of our grandchildren will be another country altogether, a nation unrecognizable to our parents, a giant Brazil of the North.

In 2050, there will be three times as many people living here as in 1960 -- 420 million. White Americans will be a minority, 49 percent, and falling. Hispanics in the United States, more than 100 million, will be equal to the population of today's Mexico. Our Asian population will be almost as large as our African-American population today.

By countries of origin, America will be a Third World nation. Our cities will look like Los Angeles today. Los Angeles and the cities of Texas, Arizona and California will look like Mexico City.

Writing in Foreign Policy, Harvard Professor Samuel Huntington, author of Who We Are, raises an alarm about the huge infusion of Hispanics into the Southwest, and for many reasons.

Much of this mass immigration is illegal. Vast numbers are coming here only to work. They are not assimilating. They do not want to become Americans. They are concentrating in states bordering Mexico, which is their country and a nation with a historic grievance against us. They are holding on to their language and culture, creating a Hispanic nation within our nation. By 2050, there will be scores of millions of people living here whose loyalty is to a foreign country.

Moreover, as multiculturalism has captured our schools and colleges, immigrant children will have prejudices and grievances against America and the West reinforced as they learn. The academic elite that controls these schools already paints America as a nation with a rancid history of genocide, slavery, racism, oppression and imperialism.

Is the Census Bureau future the future that Americans wish? No. Are they willing to risk it for their grandchildren? No.

Why, then, does that future appear inevitable?

Answer: Though a majority of Americans wish to preserve the land they grew up in for their children, our elites -- political, academic, cultural and corporate -- are either unwilling to conserve that America or indifferent to its disappearance.

Most Americans want immigration cut back and all illegal aliens sent back. Why is the will of the majority, expressed in polls and referenda, not reflected in law or policy? Because we no longer live in a democratic republic; we are ruled by a managerial elite.

America's corporate elites want an endless supply of cheap labor. Our judges throw out popularly enacted laws to which they object. Our academic elites work to see ''white, racist America'' disappear. Our neo-Marxist cultural elites wish to be the gravediggers of the West and of Christian culture. And America's conservative party, the Republican Party, believes that Hispanics hold the key to retention of presidential power and is anxious not to offend Mexican President Vicente Fox.

If, by 2050, the America we grew up in has become a Tower of Babel of squabbling minorities that is falling apart, it will be because of the treason of the elites, and our lack of will to overthrow them.

I agree, Arthur.

He talks about the people coming here to just work..They could care less about this country, and thus America will implode from within, because no one will care about our America.

Most of the immigrants today are Mexicans in near poverty who cross the border to take advantage of America's social programs. They have nothing to contribute to society, and their influence will inevitably shift the American political spectrum to the left (many of them are actually communists).

Maybe that's true of the ones who go to California. The ones I've seen in Texas came to work, and they do. They roof the houses, they build those houses too, they do the yardwork, they clean the toilets, they do the dishes in even the nicest restaurants. Do some of them get suckered in by the welfare state? Sure just like the anglos and blacks and even Asians and Russians. But any who come to Texas for the welfare benefits get an ugly suprise. Thats not to say that many of them don't avail themselves of certain programs, but those programs, health care for instance, aren't much, if any, better than what they could get in socialist Mexico.

I've never met an illegal alien who came here for the government welfare. I do know some and they work very hard and pay all their bills in full, in cash. They know that I think illegal stay is wrong but sometimes I wish I could kick out some lazy azz Americans and let them stay.

"Those that desire to wave the "racist" flag will read into it what they want to see."

You are correct.

How does mentioning the word, "white", make the title racist?

When I say, I am a white man, 54 years old, am I being racist?

I know exactly why the Chinese built the wall, it was to preserve and protect their Chineseness, which they apparently kind of liked. They closed their culture to the outside world for hundreds of years, so did Japan

That's why they did it alright. Although it would be more correct to say the ruling classes did it to maintain their prerogatives. But whatever reason they did it, in the long run it turned out to be the wrong policy. The Japanese eventually figured that out, with some "help" from Admiral Perry, but the Chinese never really did, at least until it was far too late.

Is it racist to prevent your majority culture from becoming the minority in your own country ?

As a matter of fact, it is, when you assume that only people of your own color can share your national cultural values.

[El Gato]

Brazillian are mistaken for Mexicans by ordinary people all the time. I never heard of a Spaniard being mistaken for Mexican.

The manager at a local fast food restaurant is from Spain. His features are not that much different than many of the other employees, who are "Mexican". Dark hair, dark eyes, kinda skinny. Oh his skin is a couple of shades lighter than the average "Mexican"(whatever that might be) , but until I spoke with him, I'd assumed he too was "Mexican".

Brazilians are more likely to have African ancestry than any Mexican. Beside which they speak a form of Portuguese, not Spanish. That goes back to the very discovery of the New World, prior to significant mapping. The Pope settled competing claims between Spain and Portugal by setting a "line of demarcation", Unfortunately, while the Pope intended the split to be equitable, in reality the Portuguese got the short end of the stick, because South America proved to be farther east than at first thought.

Good Lord.

Can't a fellow go for Sunday dinner Cornel?


Proclaim victory over the white devil and revel in it?

[wardaddy]

Agnkor Kat and Machu Pichu must have been swell once upon a time....can we do a "Where Are They Now" on those great civilizations?

BTw, your pecan pie is loaded...lol

[cyborg]

Who needs to eat Sunday dinner?

[wardaddy]

You racist you...lol!

These folks cheering on the demise and denigration of "whitey" have their own little personal dogs in the hunt.....sad. I thought they were Americans first.

[wardaddy]

[Keltik]

[wardaddy]

Well "The Cat" in Spanish....sir.

Yes....Matt is pretty good with Spanish.

I get along in Spanish, Portugese and some Italian....not bad for a xenophobic bigot eh?

[cyborg]

Hatred of being respectful of ladies sure but his comments speak for themselves.

[cyborg]

[wardaddy]

The Brits did not have a Republican form of gov't. They had an embryonic constitutional monarchy which they had been tweaking since the Oranges first went Hanoverian.

Our founders also quoted nearly every enlightenment sage as inspiration at the time....many of whom were not English.

But you already know all that.

[wardaddy]

with a name like El Gato....I assumed..

I think I have addressed El Gato in Spanish before.

I must be getting senile.

(watch: Cronos and Dane will lift that last line..lol)

[cyborg]

Senile? No. Onry? Yes as most men deprived of the adult beverages and smokes will get.

[cyborg]

BTW, at least most freepers don't develop ways of saving every last single sentence someone says. I've noticed that amazing ability in other forums... so I think you're safe :)
