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.
No change and you have stagnation. Change should flow, grow, become. It should be harmonious, like the blossoming of spring after winter. What we are seeing is too mucn change too fast, like the eription of a volcano, and like the eruption of a volcano, the results can be overwhelming, destructive....and terrifying.
Well, it helps that there are no Liberals on FR.
Not only are you a racist, you are a fool. White people are 80% of American population.
There's no Kaker like an alter Kaker. I see you haven't read any demographics in about 20 years, besides which you took eight words totally out of context, Sie verdammter Idiot! Wenn ich mit einem so verdammt bloeden Hundensohn zu tun habe, muss ich immer auf die deutsche Sprache zurueckgreifen!
Well, i am not one to call a person a racist, unless the person is ole' Pat. Maybe i am viewing his article with a jaundiced eye, but it would seem that he has sprinkled it with some insinuations that are questionable at best.
For example: Have a look at the following and explain to me what he means by the 'cultural revolution of the '60s' that took 'that America away forever.' I doubt he is referring to the birth control pill. If i was a betting man i'd bet he is referring to the civil rights movement.

Yes.
Wow.
That can't have any basis in logic so I guess it matters whether you're focused on a discussion of ideas or sheeple-focused on race.
Isn't that interesting! No one questions the origins or authenticity of the photos of the “white” example in my post. Yet some here will go off with unfounded racial implication and immediately request authentication of the photo “Latino”
It is as if there is no question at all of the origins of the “white” example. The thought seems to not occur.
Fascinating.

You seem to not want to understand my point. Whatever.

You seem to want to play me off as a racest.
Do you have an agenda or something?
That is a shortcut to thinking which doesn't work well these days. On the other hand, the fed.gov loves such shortcuts, along with one-liners and soundbites.

Oh? Your German is as poor as your math. In 2000 (four years ago, you see 2004-2000=4) US Census found:
281 421 906 Americans, of whom 211 460 626 (75.1%) were white and no other race. Additional 5 million Americans were combination of white and other race.
Because we need to stanch the avalanche until we get the elites who feverishly promote CULTURAL diversity under control.
