You just wait. There'll be some black to claim it's a white conspiracy to shove the black race further into minority status by offering the flood of illegal aliens jobs without resistance.

Some will eventually say whites have got to keep the black man down - even if hispanics and asians are used to accomplish the task.

Forty years later, whites are a diminished majority in a far more diverse nation, but still comprise more than two-thirds of its population and a commanding share of its wealth and power.

THAT won't last. The way the Prez and the Republican Party have become big spenders, we're all going to be broke before long. Even IF, we aren't broke, Hillary is planning to take from us to give to the poor, so anyway we look at it, we won't be wealthy for long.

Fascinating article. Blacks must move away from the failed Democrat plantation. This is their only hope. Democrats offer them nothing but continued misery.

This is old news. I know some of the folks at CNN en Espanole and when this was announced last year they all chanted 'We're number one! We're number one!'(of course it was more like 'Somos el números uno! 'Somos el números uno!)

So it was Lyndon Johnson's fault?

Well, only partly. Guys like Immanuel Cellar had worked for 40 years to reverse the 1924 act, along with a parade of leftist fellow travelers. This was just their moment.

The most important thing about Hart-Cellar's passage was the fact that it was the result of colossal lies, such as Teddy The Future Swim Champ's speech claiming that "The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society". Robert Kennedy predicted 5,000 immigrants from the entire Asia-Pacific Triangle, 'after which immigration from that source would virtually disappear.'

I'll leave it to you to decide if they were just clueless or intentionally lying.

Richard Nixon's, too, since his Census Bureau created "Hispanics" and "Asians" out of thin air.

How Richard Nixon invented Hispanics.

The good ol' days of just having "the haves and the have not's" is lost forever....

So it was Lyndon Johnson's fault?

Yes! Everything was LBJ's fault, including drafting me. That aside, LBJ was, in the hindsight of today and the foresight of Goldwater Republicans, the worst president of the Twentieth Century. I peace on his grave.
