White people have least confidence in the American Dream
Market Watch ^ | Jan 22, 2016 | Catey Hill

Americans say the American Dream is suffering - and that our laziness and low morals may be partially to blame.

Searches for "American Dream" have fallen 24% since Google began tracking this data in 2004 -- and when you type "American Dream" into Google, three of the four top autofills are "dead," "a lie" and "leaving America," according to an analysis of Google Trends data released Friday in a report by brokerage firm Convergex.

The American dream is dying. The more intelligent and knowledgeable people are the more likely they are to realize it.

I think we’re past the dying part. Now we have to figure out how to hold on while this machine starts shaking apart. Obama, the DNC and the GOPe have made sure they buried it.

We really should stop referring to the aspirations of the various settler stocks, who created the varied communities that populated the America of the Revolution, as the “American Dream.” The determination to build viable communities and pass on the fruits of achievement to their posterity, had little or nothing to do with either the dreams of the sleeping, nor the idle day dreams of those awake but musing.

To me, the dream has always been about America being the land of freedom and the land of opportunity. Both of those have been under fire for a while now. We could just blame government, but actually its a combination of government and those who vote corrupt, dangerously ideological, and/or incompetent government into office. We might do better just picking names at random from the phonebook.

The problem happened because “We the People” started demanding for government to do more and to solve more problems. Well, this is what you get.

I wonder why. They’re only vilified 24 hours a day, and by SELF HATING, GUILT RIDDEN WHITES more than anyone else.

And the great majority of whites are afraid to defend their race and their accomplishments. It’s way past time to assert “white pride” or the whites are headed for self imposed extinction.

Confidence in the American dream is difficult when you are routinely punished for being:

-Conscientious
-Hard working
-Honest
-Intelligent
-Trustworthy
-Loyal
-Successful

Boy Scouts don’t stand a chance these days: A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.

Isn’t having those characteristics considered commission of a white privilege hate crime these days?

Clearly this is one of the effects of being systematically annihilated by your government. Anyone checked in on the German Dream lately?

The new White American Dream is to wake up some morning with a dark skin and speaking a foreign language...............

The first step is to appreciate what we have and be willing to fight for it. Instead we are constantly told how terrible the United States is and how it must be transformed. This attitude is certain death.
