John Hope Franklin, the famed black historian at Duke University, once told the incoming freshmen, The new America in the 21st century will be primarily non-white, a place George Washington would not recognize.
In his June 1998 commencement address at Portland State, President Clinton affirmed it: In a little more than 50 years, there will be no majority race in the United States. The graduates cheered.
The Census Bureau has now fixed at 2041 the year when whites become a minority in a country where the Founding Fathers had restricted citizenship to free white persons of good moral character.
With publication today of Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025? this writer takes up what this portends. And while many on the left are enthusiastic about relegating the America of Eisenhower and JFK to a reactionary past, I concur with the late Clare Boothe Luce.
In this world, she said, there are optimists and pessimists.
The pessimists are better informed. Why would they not vote for the Party of Government?
What are the seemingly inevitable consequences of an America where whites are a shrinking minority?
First, the end of a national Republican Party that routinely gets 90 percent of its presidential votes from white America.
California is the harbinger of what is to come.
Carried by Richard Nixon in all five presidential elections when he was on the ticket and by Ronald Reagan all four times he ran, California, where whites are now a shrinking minority, is a state where the GOP faces extinction. John McCains share of the California vote was down to the Barry Goldwater level of 1964.
When Texas, where two-thirds of the newborns and half the schoolchildren are Hispanic, goes the way of California, it is the end for the GOP. Arizona, Colorado and Nevada, also critical to any victorious GOP coalition, are Hispanicizing as rapidly as Texas.
In every presidential election since Bush I in 1992, Hispanics have given 60-70 percent of their votes to the Democratic ticket.
For Hispanics, largely poor and working class, are beneficiaries of a cornucopia of government goodsfrom free education to food stamps to free health care. Few pay federal income taxes.
Why would they not vote for the Party of Government?
Second, the economic crisis of California, brought on by an outflow of taxpayers and a huge influx of tax consumersi.e., millions of immigrants, legal and illegalwill be mirrored nationally.
For though the majority of immigrants and illegals comes to work, and work hard, most now come from Third World countries and do not bring the academic or professional skills of European-Americans.
Third, the decline in academic test scores here at home and in international competition is likely to continue, as more and more of the children taking those tests will be African-American and Hispanic. For though we have spent trillions over four decades, we have failed to close the racial gap in education. White and Asian children continue to outscore black and Hispanic children.
Can the test-score gap be closed? With the Hispanic illegitimacy rate at 51 percent and the black rate having risen to 71 percent, how can their children conceivably arrive at school ready to compete?
Should this continue for three decades, what will it mean for America if Asians and whites occupy the knowledge-industry jobs, while scores of millions of black and Hispanic workers are relegated to low-paying service-sector jobs? Will that make for social tranquility?
Affirmative action is one answer. But this is already causing a severe backlash, and the reason is obvious.
When affirmative action was first imposed, whites outnumbered blacks nine to one. The burden of reverse discrimination on the white community was thus relatively light. Today, however, not only blacks, but Hispanics and womentwo-thirds of the entire populationqualify for affirmative action in hiring and school admissions.
And the burden falls almost entirely on white males, who are one-third of the country but three-fourths of the dead and wounded coming back from Afghanistan.
Sociologist Robert Putnam, author of Bowling Alone, has also found that the greater the racial and ethnic diversity in a community, the less social capital there isi.e., people in diverse settings are far less disposed to cooperate for social goals. They retreat into enclaves of their own kind.
Putnam found social capital at the lowest level he ever measured in Los Angeles, the most diverse community on earth. Yet, by 2042, the demography of every American city will approximate that of L.A.
What is happening to America is happening across the West.
Can Western civilization survive the passing of the European peoples whose ancestors created it and their replacement by Third World immigrants? Probably not, for the new arrivals seem uninterested in preserving the old culture they have found.
Those who hold the white race responsible for the mortal sins of mankindslavery, racism, imperialism, genocidemay welcome its departure from history. Those who believe that the civilization that came out of Jerusalem, Athens, Rome and London to be the crowning achievement of mankind will mourn its passing.
It was about 1990 that I first saw this coming, and from what I’ve seen since, what this article says has been true ever since.
I will tell ya this. CA went HEAVY Dem in 2010 when the GOP was making gains everywhere. (I’m in CA). The GOP is all but dead here (the GOP’s words, not mine). I’m no fan of Buchanan, but there is likely some truth here. Cause things will not change here in CA. With the demographic change, the GOP will not “rise again” here.
... then sure enough nothing at all will be able to happen to us, who will then no longer be, or to make us feel, not if earth be commingled with sea and sea with sky. - Lucretius
As Mike Rowe once said, "Cold comfort, my friend."
By coincidence, this is the date by which our glorious leader has commited us to land a man on an asteroid. I had thought, "By 2025, no one will even remember this commitment." Then a month later I thought, "You know what, everyone has forgotten it already." And now I realize, "Who am I kidding? No one was even paying attention in the first place." Such is the glory of Rome.

California will be the home of a NEW conservative Party. The GOP brand is garbage but conservatism is gaining momentum. There IS an alternative to the Democratic Party. Its coming but it won’t be called GOP...
Just as Russia sold us Alaska to pay off debt, California is destined to become part of China to settle our national debt. At which point, Hollywood had better take notice...
I have been assured that family values don't stop at the Rio Grande. /sarc
Based on current trends, by that time California will be one giant black hole of a welfare case. We'd have to pay the Chinese to take it.
2006 Dallas Texas: 500,000 illegals march on Dallas, pushing foreign flags in the Texans faces while making demands and threats...
All this under a Republican Bush Presidency, and Republican Perry as Governor of TX.
Our children will live in the 3rd world thanks to idiots like Bush jr, McCain, and Perry. Oh well. Nice while it lasted.
Adapt or die.
If the Republican party cannot convince people that it stands for their fundamental freedoms, then it will die, and be replaced.
I do not believe that minorities are hopeless. The reason why there are fewer white people is because white people have chosen to kill their children.
Any group that chooses to kill their children, is going to be swept away and replaced. Any nation that chooses homosexualty, will also be destroyed and replaced.
I think Pat is intentionally trying to mislead here.
He implies this was part of the Constitution. In actual fact various Acts of Congress had this requirement to become naturalized. The prohibition did not apply to those who were native-born. Dred Scott attempted to proclaim that blacks weren't citizens, ignoring legal and political history, but that decision was rather violently overturned.
The "free white" requirements went away after the Civil War, even for naturalization, except that restrictions on naturalization continued for Asian immigrants. Even for Asians, the restrictions didn't apply to those born here.
Whites will be a minority world wide. Pat Buchanan has a book on this very topic. The sad fact is ...it is the white race that has made America the greatest nation on earth and I don’t care who calls me a racist. Facts are facts.
ooops didnt have my teleprompter ready when I made that post:)
Pat Buchanan has been right on a lot of things for 30 years. He is wrong on Jews and wrong on Israel but right on most other things. He has zero understanding what worldwide Jihad means
