“This anxiety over the decline of white hegemony, in turn, helped propel a segment of conservative voters to cast ballots for Donald Trump.”

They just discovered that working for and cheerleading for the abolition of the white race might cause a few whites to wake up from their slumber and do something about it.

So now they’re trying to figure out how to lull whites back to sleep.

It needs to be discussed by all of us, in a rational manner. People, specific people, make specific cultures that reflect their interactive personalities.

The make believe world of those who pretend that people are interchangeable threatens the cultural achievements of every nation, and must be addressed as the fallacy that it is.

An American Immigration Policy

I care about having people in this country who care about freedom and natural rights.

But what is the correlation between the recognition of freedom and natural rights and race, and where do freedom and natural rights exist in the world other than in Western nations, which were created and built by folks of European origin?

There is no smaller minority than the individual - one day they may figure it out...

Without doing any research, to MY knowledge, black radical groups in the early ‘60s, were pushing the idea of blacks eventually taking over the country, one way of which was to mix the races. Now, I don’t have a problem with blacks and whites intermarrying, per se. But if it’s part of some grand scheme to erase the white race, then that’s Machiavellian. If I’m not mistaken, the white race, worldwide, is the minority, anyway, without trying to do away with it here.
I think of what my dad used to say about forced busing: “You mark my words! This is a rotten ploy to ruin our country!”. Of course, as a know-it-all teenager, I absolutely rejected that idea, because on its face, busing was to get the black kids out of notoriously bad schools, and into better ones. It didn’t occur to me, at the time, that while segregation was not a good thing, improving the black schools would have been a far better solution. Of course, I couldn’t see the whole plan, at that time.

Who the hell made that map?

Spain, Italy, Southern Europe is white. So is far north Africa, Turkey, the northern Middle East (Kurds, Israeli’s and Iranians). So is (mostly) Argentina and Chile.

Of all immigrant groups from Europe, there were/are more Germans than any other group.

Bussing was absolutely a plan to destroy white communities and rip apart their sense of identity and exceptionalism.

And guess what? It worked.

Bussing was never, ever about getting blacks away from their horrible (by their own making) schools.

NO. Just no.

Those people are not "white". They do not derive their ancestry from Europe and the never experienced the Renaissance nor did they ever benefit from The Enlightenment.

They do not have cultural commonalities with my people.

The idea that a Kurd or a Turk, 2 groups that still commit mass murder of out-groups, is like me is revolting and offensive.

Note to the jews in charge of the NYT:

Who’s Afraid of a Jewish Minority in Israel?

Turnabout is fair play.

Well too bad facts are so terrible for you.

They are Caucasians. So were Nazi’s. I don’t like the Nazis, or the British or French aristocracy of the 18th Century, or the Barbarian Pagan hordes of the 5th Century, or left wing Anglo professors from Berkeley, or Central Asian Muslims (where, you know, the Caucus Mountains are?), but they are all still Caucasians. That’s all white means.

It’s not about philosophy, religion or politics; just genetics.

Have a great day, but please don’t put words in my mouth (or typing fingers). If white means something else to you, fine, but don’t take me the wrong way because of it.

Should the American people have a say in whether or not they want the United States to become a majority-minority country?

The people were conned into the Immigration Act of 1965. The people were promised that these third world immigrants would not change the demographics of the US.

We do have a say: Repeal this act, deport the fake Americans, and close the borders.

You will be called name after name - racist, xenophobe, etc. But just remember this - these open borders globalists want you replaced and dead. This is 5th generation warfare.

This issue should be viewed for what it plainly is: a life and death struggle for our way of life.

But what is the correlation between the recognition of freedom and natural rights and race

Not sure there is a correlation. The French revolution, which was all white, did not exactly embody freedom and natural rights - it was a mob mentality. The Germans did not exactly embrace these ideals (until we bombed them back to the stone age and then rebuilt them). The English still don't recognize Natural Rights - they see their rights coming from the government.

However, people of various races, if they are taught the principles of western liberal (in its real meaning) thinking do just fine in our Republic (see Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, Michelle Malkin and any number of other "minorities"). We could have an ALL minority country, if more than 50% of the people were taught, understood and were willing to live under the principles upon which Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were based. Has nothing to do with race.

“I am afraid of having a majority that does not understand the Constitution or who does not want a Republic“

Then, ipso facto, you are afraid of a white minority. There are no black or brown constitutional republics.

They brought the schools with them.

Not sure there is a correlation.

So, give us a list of the non-white, non-Western nations that have recognized freedom and natural rights.

And your second paragraph is irrelevant and filled with enormous ifs. My original comment related to nations or civilizations that have actually recognized freedom and natural rights, not some Utopian what ifs about the future.

Give me a list of white, Western nations that have recognized freedom and natural rights. Tyranny has not been limited to non-white nations.
