Racist: discriminatory especially on the basis of race ...[Making distinctions.]
Every one of these statements are based on racial distinctions and racial issues.
He is intelligent enough to drop all of the white man stuff and plead with ALL AMERICANS to demand a change in the immigration laws and enforcement because it is good for ALL of us.
* By 2050, only 10% of the world’s people will be of European descent
* ...23 million Germans will have disappeared along with 16 million Italians and 30 million Russians
* Europe must import scores of millions of Arabs and Africans to care for the elderly and pay the taxes...
* There are 30 million foreign born in the U.S. today...
* European-Americans are a minority in America’s most populous state...
* White Americans are fleeing California...
* ...assault on Confederate books, symbols, flags, heroes, and holidays almost complete...
* Mark Twain, Flannery O’Connor, and any realistic portrayal of the America South, including Harper’ Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, are now forbidden
I am not saying that Buchanan is lying or wrong with his facts and stats...I am only saying that he sounds racists in his delivery because he highlights racial distinctions and racial issues, which in turn is going to cause the majority of Americans to reject his warnings. <<
You have a point that all his statements are race baiting, except for the one I put in bold. What Pat "save the white man" Buchanan fails to realize is that many BLACK americans are against illegal immigration even more so than white Americans. I can't tell you how many blacks I've seen complain about illegal immigrats gettting special "benefits" that working-class black CITIZENS do not, REGUARDLESS of whether those illegals are Hispanic, Arab, Asian, or white.
Even LIBERAL blacks are against illegal immigration. Ultra-liberal Chicago Alderman Dorthy Tillman is known to snap at La Raza members: "This is America and we speak ENGLISH. My ancestors learned it and if you don't want to, then you should leave".
It should also be noted that many Hispanic Americans oppose amnesty because those who worked hard to get citizenship see it as a slap in the face from their government. Many Hispanics from Latin America see the "amensty" plan as biased in favor of only Mexican hispanics, and they are correct in that reguard.
Opposing massive ILLEGAL immigration from ALL nations (which will bring the country's population to a overflow of 1 billion in 100 years), is not a driving force for "European Americans" but for ALL Americans who personally, or through ancestry, have family who worked hard to assimulate, earn their way, and adapt to our culture. Pat should indeed present the facts this way, but he's caught up on his OWN background, thereby tainting everything with a "confederate Irish-American devote Christian" obsession. As result, no one will listen to him. Also note the hypocracy with the "they are tearing down our traditional American icons like Andrew Jackson". Many of Pat's neo-confederate buddies do the same thing (ask them about the nullication crisis), but ol' Pat not only turns a blind eye when THEY do it, he encourages it.
>> He is intelligent enough to drop all of the white man stuff and plead with ALL AMERICANS to demand a change in the immigration laws and enforcement because it is good for ALL of us. <<
And if only he had, he wouldn't have margilized himself into a joke in 2000. It's a tragedy, really. Pat has the right idea many times, but he's dead wrong when it comes up with ways to carry it out.
So talking about those facts is racist. In other words europeans cant be concerned with their own self-preservation.
The majority of Americans rejected warnings about terrorists freely gaining access to the country too. As the problems get worse maybe more people will prefer facts to feelings and soundings.
