NPRs Steve Inskeep and President Obama (NPR)
Regardless of what President-elect Donald Trumps plans are for immigration, President Barack Obama says there will be inevitable changes to the demographics of the United States.
If you stopped all immigration today, just by virtue of birth rates, this is going to be a browner country, Obama told NPRs Steve Inskeep in an interview that aired Monday. And if were not thinking right now about how we make sure that next generation is getting a good education and are instilled with a common creed and the values that make America so special and are cared for and nurtured and loved the way every American child is treated, then were not going to be as successful.
Obama said its natural for the nation to have some growing pains because of the substantial changes to the world during his eight years in office:
I started my presidency inheriting a massive crisis of proportions that we havent seen since the 1930s. It laid bare some long-term and troubling trends about globalization, and technology, and rising inequality, and the fragility of our financial systems, and the way in which middle-class folks felt they were getting squeezed. And the fact that the ladders of opportunity seem to be farther and fewer between for people who are trying to get out of poverty.
And throughout that process, we also then started seeing because when the economys not doing well some other tensions get laid bare changing attitudes about sexual orientation, and about race, and about the nature of families. And all of this has been amped up by the revolution in information, throwing through social media and the Internet. And so its a big dose. Its been a lot of stuff thats been coming at people really quickly, and its made folks anxious.
But Obama said the national conversation about race is long overdue.
All these smartphones suddenly taking pictures are not documenting a suddenly worsening relationship between the African-American community and the police, the president said. They are recording what has been a long-standing tension and the sense on the part of police that theyre put in a very difficult situation of trying to manage law enforcement in poor communities where guns are easily accessible, the African-American community being rightly convinced that there is a long history of racial bias in our criminal justice system.
And as painful as it is, that conversation is long overdue, he continued. So, my feeling is that if everybody takes a breath, and if we can structure a conversation that is less about how somebody else is trying to take advantage of me, and structure the conversation around how can we work together to solve problems that makes everybody better off, that America can emerge stronger. But that requires leadership. It requires citizenship. It requires all of us doing self-reflection at the same time as were fighting on behalf of the things that we care deeply about.
Obama said he plans to do that self-reflection after he leaves office.
I can say, and I can demonstrate, I can document that the country is a lot better off now than it was when I took office in almost every dimension, the president said. But what I can also say is that we could be doing even better. There are times where I reflect and ask myself, Is theres something else I could have done, something that I could have said slightly differently that would have led to additional progress and less polarization? And Ill probably, you know, as I reflect on my presidency, once Im out of just the day-to-day scrum of this thing, Im sure Ill come up with a whole bunch of things to add to my list. But I think all of us have to do that.
So now he’s admitting what the end goal of his Muslim amid illegal immigrant importation was all about. Sounds like its good enough to begin building that wall and deporting the invading Cloward Pivenists.
What will the brown birth rate be, when there are no longer enough white people to pay the taxes needed to maintain the Welfare State?
I started my presidency creating a massive crisis of proportions that we have never seen before.
Well, it’s always worked well in places where people manage to run whitey out of town.
If you stopped all immigration today, just by virtue of birth rates, this is going to be a browner country,
That was kind of his goal all along, no? When blacks stopped growing as a population group (mostly because of liberal abortion policies), progressives had to find other captive groups to vote for them. So Somali’s, Syrians, central Americans etc. that have higher birthrates.
The goal all along has been to overwhelm American western culture with non-western cultures that come from socialist countries and think like socialist or non-Christian countries and think like Muslims. That’s a reliable power base for the left.
And any brown country you choose is so much better off than any white country.
Not that Obama is a racist or anything.
The main object of his ‘transformation’, wipe out whitey! He should kill his white half then, always suspected he did in his granny, like with a pillow or something similar.
Odungo: the tire tracks of the laundry.
Barry needs a bigger shovel.
Infinite. They will eat each other when the time comes.
Because he did EVERYTHING in his power to make it so - for 8 long, long years.
Ah, Barky. Always concerned with pointing out race and his bitterness with being half white!
I agree with him 100% that children must learn what America stands for. I assume he likes the anti-old white men who were racists slant in America's current schools. I assume he didn't spend his evenings with his children telling them the other side of the story like ordinary Americans do.
84% of the world is NOT WHITE.
Obama’s delusion the world - and the United States are ‘too white’ is stupid. It’s based on racial hatred of white people.
84% of the world is NOT WHITE. People ‘of color’ outnumber white people the world over...
16% of the world’s people are white - and Obama wants that number smaller. What is he really saying?

Import more third world diseased trash to our shores and house, feed, medicate, educate and pay them on our dime! Sounds like a real recipe for success there!
Is the pope a socialist?
