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 said the article was racist. How that equates in your mind to me calling two people racist is a little unclear to me.

Well let me clear that up, for you. You called PB and another person on this board a racist. Calling someones words racist, and calling an argument racist, is the same as calling someone racist. You cannot have it both ways. You want to throw the bomb and disavow it at the same time. I'll skip hell thanks, you but thanks for losing your cool. But let me say it in your way. Arguing that whites who want to protect their cultures future are racists, is a racist argument unless it is equally applied to people of other cultures, races, groups whatever. In other words a Jew who desires Isreal to be Jewish is a racist, a Chinese who wants China to remain Chinese is a racist, same for the Japanese, for the Sudanese. For everyone. If that logic is applied to only whites in America and Europe, than those that offer up that pathetic fare are anti-white racists, pure and simple. Or let me say it differently, those that make that argument are making a racist argument. Chooser either one, they are both the same.

What is American culture BTW? I am still trying to figure that out.

I do think we have our own culture. It's shaped by our Christian beliefs and yes by Protestant-Anglo-Saxon work ethic. Pat's ancestors were CAtholic but they managed to fit in with this work ethic. His main point in this article makes sense but it gets clouded when he tries to make it out to be a color issue. If he had said America no longer united, English-speaking, Western culture, he'd be on the ball. It's not only WHAT you say but how you say it that counts

[I got the rope]

Got news for Pat. America's orginal inhabitants (Mexicans...most of which are pure-blood native indians) are not white.

If you are going to worry about immigration it should be all the freak'n Muslims we allow to come into this country. It is B.S. that we allow people with money to get into this country (i.e. the 9/11 hijackers), but waste millions of dollars to chase down those pesky "wetbacks".

[Cronos]

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?

True. Angkor Watt was part of the Khmer Empire and comparatively recent 12th century(?) as was Machu Pichu (Inca, abandoned in the 16th century due to Spanish conquests). Let's add the Minoan civilisation in Crete, Mycenean in Greece, Spartan, Athenian, Roman, Macedonian, Celtic, pre-Roman Germanic, Nordic cultures, British (pre-Saxon conquest), SAxon, etc.

If you wish to ask where are they now, the Incas are gone, but the Khmer survived in Kampuchea.

[Cronos]

Immigration is definitely an issue, and illegal immigration even more of an issue. I don't dispute that. I believe it wholeheartedly. I ask you. Is it possible for me to hold those beliefs while despising race-baiting? I think it is. I don't like it from either liberals or conservatives. We ought to be above that, but apparently believing that makes me a racist according to some. Go figure.

WEll put. your sentiments echo mine. Pat's main point about illegal immigration IS valid, but then he gives that valid issue a auslanders raus twist.

[Cronos]

Our benevolent immigrants have "La Raza" billboards plastered all over town. Here's one from 97.9 La Raza radio.
Oh, their racism is equally sickening.

[I got the rope]

Wrong. These are not Mestizos.

They are Indios.

Here's a gallery of Mestizos: Mestizos/Tejanos

Some of are obviously more European-like than others.

[I got the rope]

BWAAAAAAAAAHH! ROTFLMAO!

[cyborg]

Are you familiar with that site or asatru in general? Or did you find that in google?

[I got the rope]

Oooops! Sorry. Pesky Wetbacks

Please Go Pat!

[Cronos]

Thanks, rope.

What and how, that is true, but using the word white, and describing the failure of Mexican Immigrants to assimilate, due to their large influx, is not a critcism of their race. It is a critic of the immigration model we are using, namely everybody come...now. It is like inviting more people to dinner than you have seats at the table for.

[Cronos]

Caucasians (not really indo-Europeans, probably an earlier group) most likely DID come here. I'd like to think it was Phoenicians (or as they called themselves, Canaanites), with their reputation as seafarers.

[cyborg]

You didn't answer my question but that's okay. I used to be asatru and was wondering if you were familiar at all with the asatru religion or the various permutations thereof.

[cyborg]

Of course the fact that something is labeled 'caucasian' does not mean what the folks who hosted that article had in mind. East Indians are caucasian according to the evolutionary biologists. Aboriginies are supposed to have their own category but are generally thought of as caucasian.

[Cronos]

Outside of the US,the word caucasian usually means of Northern European appearance.The word 'Aryan' was built on the Indian myth of northern invaders,then borrowed by Nietzsche,then interpreted by Hitler(and some Indians who hate their own skin-color)as fact.

Actually the term Arya is from Vedic times (3000 BC +) and Indo-Europeans are so called because they share the same racial characteristics. The first Indo-European/ARyan civilisations were in the Indus valley, Persia (Iran = land of the Aryas) and the Hittite "empire" with maybe the Mitanni included. The invader myth is dispelled with the Origins of the Aryans being moved to Eastern Persia and western Iran

this ties in with mythology -- the Persians worshipped higher gods (Ahuras) and the lesser ones became demons (Daevas), while in India the opposite family of Gods were revered -- the devas became deities while the Asuras were relegated to demonic status.

In Nordic areas, the religion remained at its primitive form with BOTH families of Gods given nearly equal status -- the Aesir and the Vanir.
