America no longer white, united, English-speaking

In 1960, when JFK defeated Nixon, America was a nation of 160 million, 90 percent white and 10 percent black, with a few million Hispanics and Asians sprinkled among us.

We were one nation, one people. We worshipped the same God, spoke the same English language, studied American history and English literature, honored the same heroes, read the same books, watched the same TV shows, went to the same movies and saw ourselves as defenders of Western civilization against the godless communism of the Soviet Empire.

We were confident and proud of who we were. That was yesterday. But due to the Immigration Act of 1965 and the cultural revolution of the '60s, that America is now gone forever. And as one studies the latest projections of the Census Bureau, the America of our grandchildren will be another country altogether, a nation unrecognizable to our parents, a giant Brazil of the North.

In 2050, there will be three times as many people living here as in 1960 -- 420 million. White Americans will be a minority, 49 percent, and falling. Hispanics in the United States, more than 100 million, will be equal to the population of today's Mexico. Our Asian population will be almost as large as our African-American population today.

By countries of origin, America will be a Third World nation. Our cities will look like Los Angeles today. Los Angeles and the cities of Texas, Arizona and California will look like Mexico City.

Writing in Foreign Policy, Harvard Professor Samuel Huntington, author of Who We Are, raises an alarm about the huge infusion of Hispanics into the Southwest, and for many reasons.

Much of this mass immigration is illegal. Vast numbers are coming here only to work. They are not assimilating. They do not want to become Americans. They are concentrating in states bordering Mexico, which is their country and a nation with a historic grievance against us. They are holding on to their language and culture, creating a Hispanic nation within our nation. By 2050, there will be scores of millions of people living here whose loyalty is to a foreign country.

Moreover, as multiculturalism has captured our schools and colleges, immigrant children will have prejudices and grievances against America and the West reinforced as they learn. The academic elite that controls these schools already paints America as a nation with a rancid history of genocide, slavery, racism, oppression and imperialism.

Is the Census Bureau future the future that Americans wish? No. Are they willing to risk it for their grandchildren? No.

Why, then, does that future appear inevitable?

Answer: Though a majority of Americans wish to preserve the land they grew up in for their children, our elites -- political, academic, cultural and corporate -- are either unwilling to conserve that America or indifferent to its disappearance.

Most Americans want immigration cut back and all illegal aliens sent back. Why is the will of the majority, expressed in polls and referenda, not reflected in law or policy? Because we no longer live in a democratic republic; we are ruled by a managerial elite.

America's corporate elites want an endless supply of cheap labor. Our judges throw out popularly enacted laws to which they object. Our academic elites work to see ''white, racist America'' disappear. Our neo-Marxist cultural elites wish to be the gravediggers of the West and of Christian culture. And America's conservative party, the Republican Party, believes that Hispanics hold the key to retention of presidential power and is anxious not to offend Mexican President Vicente Fox.

If, by 2050, the America we grew up in has become a Tower of Babel of squabbling minorities that is falling apart, it will be because of the treason of the elites, and our lack of will to overthrow them.

"I know of no nation or culture in history to have surrendered so easily as ours nor to think that surrendering is wonderful and the "right thing".

Probably due to the influence of interbreeding with French immigrants. < /sarcasm >

European culture is derived from older cultures in the western half of Asia and north africa

Oh lord Cronos...are you an Afrocentrist? I had no idea...now I understand the little Jew-jab. You are an anti-Euro. Are you black?....I'm white obviously.

Europe was still a backwater in the 1700s.

Really...ROTFLMAO...did you miss Colombus, The Spanish Armada, Drake, Magellan and the colonization of the New World and Asia. Who did that? Please....Lord son.

[wardaddy]

Italians were a big part of the Renaissance actually and even the Enlightenment.....oddly Machiavelli was considered Enlightenment.

[Cronos]

Oh lord Cronos...are you an Afrocentrist?

Nope, the North African civilisations include those like Egypt and Carthage, which were CAUCASIAN. African has never meant purely negro.

Eddie George is a neighbor and hosts a great Halloween thingie for the kids.

[Cronos]

the little Jew-jab.

What Jew jab? You think Jews and ARabs are both of the same race: Semitic. So, Arabs can't be anti-Semitic as that would mean they're anti-themselves.

Is a Jew Jab? Which planet are you from??

[wardaddy]

I am sadly 1/8 Huguenot myself....but I agree...lol

[wardaddy]

I have a car wash that is teeming today and I have to run over an pull coins and whatnot but I will reply later to any of your posts.

Thanks

[Edit35]

Maybe we should start of list of white non first world countries. I'll start first. Argentina. Your turn.

New Zealand???

"I am sadly 1/8 Huguenot myself....but I agree"

As am I....but I don't mention it much.

[Cronos]

Colombus, The Spanish Armada

Colombus goes and explores a new land that was discovered a long time earlier by non-Caucasians (Present day AmerIndians) and most likely by Caucasians as well (Vikings and other cultures). The Spanish Armada was crushed in a storm. The Spanish Armada was also not even a quarter of the size of the Chinese fleet sent by the Ming Emperor to explore The Indian and Pacific Oceans. It was smaller than the Moghal Emperor's navy. And it was also a losing force.

No shock there. The third generation Hispanics today grew up in a time when there were far fewer of them in the USA, illegal immigration of same much less, and eventual assimilation into the dominant culture expected.

The third generation Hispanics of 2050 will have been born physically in the United States, but culturally will have grown up in an entirely Hispanic milieu.

"I go second. Canada"

He said first world. :)

[Cronos]

Drake, Magellan and the colonization of the New World and Asia

Drake and Magellan, well, you have a point with Magellan.

And Europe's colonization of Asia didn't begin under the latter half of the 1700s and Europe was still a cultural backwater until Victorian times -- it's not unknown for barbarians to invade civilised nations you know. And the Brits in the 1700s were barbarians (of course they cleaned up very very well in the Victorian era)

Pat seems pessimistic that anybody but white Europeans can make good Americans.

Oh, I'm sure any Brazilian named Mengele or descendants of any of the other 1200-1500 nazis that entered Brazil between 1940 and 1960 would be just happily welcome in Pat's lair. Plenty of good Pat-material in Latin America.

[Dan from Michigan]

If Pat cut the racial tone out of this article, this would be a perfect article. And he brushed on the REAL PROBLEM in this country. Moreover, as multiculturalism has captured our schools and colleges, immigrant children will have prejudices and grievances against America and the West reinforced as they learn. The academic elite that controls these schools already paints America as a nation with a rancid history of genocide, slavery, racism, oppression and imperialism.

"I just don't understand why mentioning WHITE in virtually any context is considered RACIST? This country is too damn thinned skinned. We would NEVER have become a NATION if our founding fathers were so afraid to speak their minds."

[TLI]

most Latinos are white.


Well,  . . . no.


Observe . .


Latino...




White . . .




Just because the fed.gov is dumber than river rocks and wants us to to believe statistics that group hispanics and whites together as being the same, does not mean we must be stupid.

The Chinese navy was on the decline after 1450, and the last bit ordered destroyed in 1526. By 1500, the naval technology of Europe and China were at parity. So says the linked piece. Isn't the internet wonderful?
