Bill Clinton once said that he looked forward to the day when whites were a minority in America. While he won't live to see such a time, a demographic milestone that should send a tingle up Slick Willie's leg was just reached. Writes The New York Times:
After years of speculation, estimates and projections, the Census Bureau has made it official: White births are no longer a majority in the United States.
Non-Hispanic whites accounted for 49.6 percent of all births in the 12-month period that ended last July, according to Census Bureau data made public on Thursday, while minorities - including Hispanics, blacks, Asians and those of mixed race - reached 50.4 percent, representing a majority for the first time in the country's history.
Obviously, a big reason for this demographic shift is migration -- and mainly the legal variety. As a result of Ted Kennedy's Immigration Reform Act of 1965, the level of yearly immigration increased from approximately 250,000 prior to '65 to about 1,000,000 afterwards. And its nature has changed also: 85 percent of our new arrivals hail from the third world and Asia. This radical departure from America's traditional immigration patterns has created a demographic transformation possibly unprecedented in world history -- except for cases of actual invasion.

Sheesh, these FR responses are depressing. Who cares what color a person is? It’s the content of their character. This is a conservative website, not a white website.
Well said - and most here in San Antonio don’t really care what one’s ethnicity is.
You can be done with it, but what’s bothering you is the truth. I never said there weren’t non-white patriots. There are many, such as Alan Keyes (my first choice for president), Allen West, Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell and Jesse Lee Peterson. But this has NOTHING to do with averages. And I simply stated a fact: the vast majority of minorities vote for liberals. This is undeniable.
Frankly, you’re acting like a liberal. The facts upset you, so you become petulant, take your ball and go home.
I think i agree with you but this isn’t about the penis. circumcision? Did apple mess you up? Lol.
Who cares what color we are? I’d like to forget about color and focus on honesty in ideology, focus on freedom.
Yes, and San Antonio votes Democrat. Your point is?
The continuation and advancement of Judeo-Christian values are the key. Not race or ethnicity.
They appear to have been Hispanic ~ but so was this Cruz fellow who left the mission at Hopewell and came down the James to early Jamestown.
Remember, the King of Spain used to own the whole place. Settlement began in his time ~ lots of things were going on long before the English figured out how to settle abroad!
San Antonio must be unique because the rest of Texas has all kinds of Latino/Hispanic groups. Like this one for example.
Latino National Republican Coalition of the State of Texas
Actually, San Antonio is quite socially conservative. I don’t know what to do about the Castro boys and their socialist mom or the fact that we usually end up with largely Democrat council members. My point is that the race factor here is much more between latinos and blacks than between latinos and whites.
That’s great information! Thanks - and as I noted to Paladin, SA is generally socially conservative, we just keep getting Democrat majorities on the city council (and the mayor’s office).
Could it be they just popped up out of the ground?
Why do some groups have a lower birth rate than others? Promiscuity is one reason.
An even bigger reason is our permissive birth control laws. Birth control is more widely used among some groups, lowering that group’s birth rate.
Why do we allow people to interfere with God’s role when it comes to procreation?
You’re missing the point. The article is about how groups that vote for socialists are taking over numerically. it isn’t about racial friction.
And spare me that social conservative stuff. Hispanics’ social conservatism is very shallow, which is why they place it below fiscal liberalism when making voting decisions. No true social conservative could vote for an anti-marriage, pro-abortion skunk like Obama. But true to form, a majority of Hispanics will cast ballots for him again this election. Wait and see.
And the Latino National Republican Coalition of the State of Texas is generally, well really specifically Latino just as LaRaza, MEChA, the Hispanic Caucus and literally hundred/thousands of other raced based groups.
Yes, you just happen to keep getting Democrat majorities. It’s magic. It has nothing to do with the majority Hispanic population! Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!
Well, cheer up after the collapse the pendulum will swing back. How many non white preppers have you heard of?
The first settlers had some members who relocated from Spanish camps/forts on the Carolana/Virginia coast!
America got it's start earlier than most folks realize ~ 1598!~
The earliest Jamestown records report on people who'd gotten to there earlier ~ even give dates. Then there's the Los Indies Passajeros ~ or list of travelers to and from La Florida to Europe and back. Virginia's "VIrginia Rooms" in main libraries each have a copy!
There was no really great influx of white folks until the 1800s when numerous famines hit Europe.
I see you’re in Idaho. Maybe you need to live in southern CA for a while to place things in perspective.
I will admit that I've lived in Southern California; however we have a good number of farm workers and such here that are Hispanic. There are plenty of small farming communities that during the summer, have white as a minority. I mean no disrespect, but great horrors in history have been committed due to perceived racial differences. I do not doubt the Egyptians in Moses time, the Democrats in south in 1850's, and the German people of the 1930's; would have bid me come and see to understand why their actions are justified. If you have not read The March Morons by Kornbluth, the answer was genocide against the idiots.
I ask then, what you see as a solution to this "problem," I can think actually change the birthrate which appears to be your beef that are in line with the principal of this country. If you say take away the welfare from illegals aliens and quit paying for their extra children. Then we are on the same side.
I accept the voting pattern aren't changing, why do you expect people to turn down a handout. The problem is the government is offering them a "free" lunch, at our expense. I would not expect that to change until we quit offering it. The same offer that is being extending to all of us by the socialists in power or running for office. It is the road Greece has taken with France following behind. The problem is, as Alexis De Tocqueville chronicled would be our downfall, the people are voting themselves the largess of the public coffers. It is the love of money (see 1 Timothy 6:10), not some sort of devoltuionary dumbing of the masses.
As for your statement that there is indeed some underlying difference in the races in forms of intelligence and what not. I have to ask if you are really serious? I see no reason to accept the idea that any race holds a superiority in intelligence. Maybe in the ability to perform the tests (usually designed by whites)we give them. You have to consider what sort of education system they are in. The Asians for instance are stereotypically considered better at Math etc. Look at the emphasis their culture puts on it. The Declaration of Independence begins "All men are created equal..." -enough said.
I would take him over Obama at this point...
