White, and in the minority
Washington Post ^ | July 30, 2018 | Terrence McCoy

SNIP

In a country where whites will lose majority status in about a quarter-century, and where research suggests that demographic anxiety is contributing to many of the social fissures polarizing the United States, from immigration policy to welfare reform to the election of President Trump, the story of the coming decades will be, to some degree, the story of how white people adapt to a changing country. It will be the story of people like Heaven Engle and Venson Heim, both of whom were beginning careers on the bottom rung of an industry remade by Latinos, whose population growth is fueling that of America, and were now, in unusually intense circumstances, coming to understand what it means to be outnumbered.

They didn’t know the heavy burden of discrimination familiar to members of historically oppressed minority groups, including biased policing and unequal access to jobs and housing. But some of the everyday experiences that have long challenged millions of black, Latino and immigrant Americans — the struggle to understand and be understood, feeling unseen, fear of rapid judgments — were beginning to challenge them, too.

The Left is working on 150+ years of "historical inevitability" and one of these days they may get it right by pure randomness. This isn't it.

The key to this is "Non-Hispanic Whites", which is an entirely contrived demographic to begin with. Can anyone tell me what the percentage of "Non-Irish Whites" is without looking it up? Does anyone even care? On that magic moment in 2042, the current guess, when "Non-Hispanic Whites" drops below the 50% mark I will happily bet the author his paycheck that nobody will even notice.

The left intends for there never to be peace. Now they are setting up white people to be one of a multitude of “oppressed minorities”. If we don’t defeat the left now we’re finished. Yes I agree with those saying we’re all supposed to be just Americans, but that’s being destroyed.

One of the problems is that the left was not observing a problem, they were creating it, because the reality they saw didn’t go along with their narrative (class-warfare, race-warfare).

So that’s why relationships have gotten worse, because people are no longer encouraged to think of themselves as Americans, but as some special racial, sexual or other definition that the left has created.

For any evil for which whites are historically responsible, we’re also responsible for the majority of the good. If we get the blame, then we must get the credit. They can’t have it both ways. It’s obvious to the entire world that majority white nations are the most desirable places to live, or else the world wouldn’t be beating a path to the doors of them. They don’t come here because they’ll be “oppressed”, if that were really true, it wouldn’t be whites doing the flight away from the communities which they built. Who chases their “oppressors” all over the map? The Jews in Russia used to say, “God bless and keep the Tsar-far away from us”. They wanted to be left alone, to live their lives. Not so with today’s “oppressed” minorities. They can’t move to white neighborhoods fast enough, if they have the means, or even if they don’t, they’ll get taxpayers to fund it.

I’m so sick of hearing about the “legacy” of slavery, as if it were in the dna of people (strangely enough, it seems to be the only dna trait allowable). The Romans enslaved almost the entire world at one time, who do I bitch to about my “legacy”? And it’s always conveniently left out, that whites were also the ones to end slavery, at the cost of their own lives in some cases. You’d think that American black slavery was some unique historical event, in which this “legacy” only uniquely can affect blacks-and not even just American blacks now, or even just blacks. The white male-largely responsible for the lower infant mortality rates, amongst other benefits, to the entire world, somehow is to blame for all the evil of the world. Meanwhile in Africa, human life is very cheap to this day. Meanwhile in the hood in America, human life is very cheap-unless your kid’s death gets you a shot at the ghetto lottery.

If whites become the minority technological progress will stop and probably go backwards. Poverty and crime will increase dramatically. Standards of living will drop precipitously. I’m basing this on the situation in every non white, brown majority country. Just facts.

We have been minorities in Los Angeles County for a loooong time already.

There is such an unhealthy fixation on race from the left. It just not that important.


True. MLK Jr would be on the right today, wanting character of all humans to be what counts!

This is NOT inevitable. It can be stopped and needs to be stopped. We need to cut way back on legal and illegal immigration. Like trump said get a points system. Stop taking in so many Hispanics (they vote 70% democrat).

Just ask yourself what majority black and hispanic country in the world is successful? (NONE)

Now, how many majority white countries are successful? (ALL or Nearly all)

Don’t let the democrats and liberals turn us into a third world country, just so they can have more control.

It's one thing to knowingly move to another country understanding you'll be a minority. It's another thing to watch your country change around you when you weren't asked if you wanted your country to change.

for the most part it was White people who built this country into, if not the best country in the world, certainly one in the top five. Now libs are saying the people who built have to give it away or its "waycism"? I say bullsh*t, I say its racism to take a away a country from the whites who made it great.

The libs cry cultural appropriation when a white person sells mexican food, so what is it called when an entire country is appropriated away from the people who built it?

South Africa, under white government, was a top-notch fully-functioning First World nation, while still managing to protect their natural resources. Under black majority rule-old tribal feuds, clamped down under white rule, are again brought to the surface. Infant mortality rates have risen. Healthcare-which was equally available to all, even if “separately”, has become less available, and due to making my sure that qualified blacks get prestigious jobs, the standard of healthcare people get has fallen. Same with the energy companies-blacks are put into jobs for which they’re not qualified-not just desk jobs-and between not knowing how to do the work, and just plain not intending to work (they didn’t sign up to be no slave, they wanted the pay, the title, and the uniform), South Africa has regularly brownouts and blackouts. Same with water-it’s often unavailable in homes. These things hardly ever happened under white rule, they were the exception. Now they’re the norm.

And that’s before we even begin to talk about the rise in crime, especially violent crime, and the utter joke of a judiciary system now in place.

Bull hockey. White people will still be the largest single racial group for 100 more years.

I, too, am thankful I won’t have to live it. And as for the children, well....if their parents voted for this wonderful “change”, then it’s all on them. Not gonna worry about it. Deal with it when you’re in over your heads, Snowflakes (and that includes family members).

How is a polyglot country made up of groups that don't trust, and often hate, each other an improvement on the country in which many of us grew up? Blacks and Hispanics don't get along very well, blacks are relentlessly taught that whites are the cause of all their problems, and Muslims are raised to see everyone else as infidels. The left wants to import more and more of these fractious groups just to keep the pot boiling and punish white people for their sins.

It's quite possible to wish all people, races and cultures well without wanting to put them all together in the same place where they can fight it out for turf, political power and government goodies. Did anyone ask us if we wanted this balkanized nation? Did we get to vote on it? Not that I recall. The Republicans respond to the cheap-labor lobby and the Democrats want more voters, so of course we didn't get to vote on it. Hell, we're attacked and vilified if we even try to talk about it.

The UN even itself defines what’s happening in white nations as “genocide”, in their own rules. They just refuse to acknowledge that exactly that is occurring in white nations. Much less acknowledge it, they want it to happen. They must plan to keep some small cadre of whites to “keep the trains running on time”, if they expect to live in first world conditions themselves. Those few whites need to all be leftists, as this will be quasi-slavery, if not outright, and the left brought this to pass.

I really don’t give a rat’s arse what color the majority is going to be in twenty-five years. It’s the CULTURE and VALUES of the country that matter to me, and they are going straight down the flusher due to balkanized tribalism.

Color doesn't matter values do. Unfortunately hispanics value voting for democrats to the tune of 70%. taking in more and more of them will lead to a democrat monopoly on power in the entire country, not just california.

We WILL become venezuela, or worse, the next soviet union, if something is not done to stop the invasion.
