Rep. John Lewis Heralds Changing Electorate: ‘Minority Will Become Majority
mediaite.com ^ | August 25, 2013 | Evan McMurry

Upon the anniversary of the March on Washington, John Lewis spoke to Meet the Press’ David Gregory about the legacy of the civil rights movement Sunday morning, encouraging America to embrace, not fear, the shifting demographics of the electorate that would put minorities in a place of political power.

“I think some forces want to create this sense of fear,” Lewis said. “They think that the country is moving too fast, or maybe becoming too progressive. The country’s not the same country. People are coming together. And in a short time, the minority will be the majority.”

Lewis is the sole surviving speaker of the 1963 march, and a longtime Democratic representative from Georgia.

“Is there backlash that comes with that?” Gregory asked.

“As Americans, we must be prepared to make that adjustment,” Lewis said. “Be courageous. Embrace the change.”

Ignorant, stupid, John (should have an L in there) Lewis is just another race-bating, blame-whitey, brainless African.

Was this interview conducted in French by any chance? I suspect not thanks to the fact that Lewis can barely speak *English*.As for his prediction,if that happens *every* city and town in the nation will soon look like Detroit.

Or Guadalajara.

But then I'm just a creepy a$$ cracker so what could I possibly know?

So he celebrates the eradication of whites

That's all its ever been about.

Get rid of whitey by drowning him in a sea of angry non-whites.

The result? Zimbabwe.

Nope, they’re not that stupid. They had a plan all along.

And this happened because of massive LEGAL third world immigration. Yet people here will tell you this unending, massive, legal immigration is good. You are right of course....the West & the USA as we have known it is dead.

Great empires and civilizations always commit suicide. The United States is no different.

Ted Kennedy and his insane immigration law of 1965 spelled America’s doom.

Yea the Minority will become the Majority and it will still be whitey’s fault for everything that happens in the Black community.

I did national radio back in the late 80s about this demographic change (when there was a chance to stop it) & this radio host had millions of listeners & guess what ? We would go hours without getting a phone call, or response. Americans had no will, then or now, to survive. So here we are today nearing the end....

I must say, however, no one swallowed more birth control pills, with more zeal, than the white girls “liberated”.

With both hands we cheerfully eradicated ourselves, our future and our heritage. Paying the piper time has arrived, leaving us in ruinous, lasting consequences.

Yep. Somewhere along the way, big families became frowned upon. Women decided to pursue their dreams — and they didn’t include having more than 1.5 children, or any at all.

Not sure if it was feminism or materialism, but both have had their way with this country.

So why do we continue to bring in 1.2 million legal immigrants a year, 87% of whom are minorities as defined by the USG?

The reality is that 53% of Hispanics self-describe themselves as white.

I have no idea what he's saying.

Does anybody have an Obonics-to-English dictionary handy?

Immigration is the biggest driver of our population growth. In 1970 one in 21 was foreign born. Today it is one in 8, the highest it has been in 90 years.
