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 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.

[Exton1]

Anyone who says this article is “racist” is nothing but a communist trying to stop the discussion of immigration. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH A PEOPLE WANTING TO PRESERVE THEIR CULTURE. Beware the liberal on this form. The reason we have a First Amendment is to discuss matters like this. Also, Immigration Act of 1965 was introduced the American people were told that it would not change the racial balance of the country.
The question is “Why is it considered a good thing to destroy the Language and Culture of the USA?” What gets stronger by breaking it up? Should not the people of the USA vote or decide is we want to change the racial makeup? And Shouldn’t the USA decide who comes to live in the USA? It is because of uncheck immigration that TB rates are exploding, and we now live in fear of Terrorist attacks. Liberal immigration policies are turning the paradise of the USA into hell.

only 20% of third generation Hispanics in the US speak Spanish as their daily language at home.

I don't know if Pat would be shocked, but I am.

[garbanzo]

Aside from Japan and a few Pacific rim nations, can you think of any other "Non-White" "First World" nations aside from maybe Bermuda or Cayman?

I got a 4.0 GPA if you only count all the classes I got A's in.

Pat's point seems to be that even the decendants of brown-skinned immigrants, raised in the US for generations, won't be able to run the country which is the racist thing I was pointing out.

[cyborg]

I am very sorry that we immigrants are such an inconvenience all of you.

rdb3 you were right, I'm out too.

[ronnieb]

Pat's main point is entirely right, this demographic change is occuring without the permission of the people. He is also correct that our educational institutions encourage anger and bitterness toward whites. IF Pat is such a racist, because he dares to notice the racial change in America, then is Sharon, and the entire state of Isreal racist because they notice and care about the percentage of Jews that are in Isreal. Are Asian's racists, when they insist that their children marry within their race, or deny citizenship on racial grounds, is all of Europe racist nutters because they are suddenly alarmed about losing their culture to waves of immigrants that refuse to assimilate, is Japan a nation of racists because they won't grant citizenship to anyone that isn't racially Japanese. Pat is right, this change, regardless of what one thinks of it, is occuring without the permission of the people, and worse, our education, media and entertainment industries, seem to be pushing it in a disruptive and angry direction. To point that out, and to discuss and observe that is not racist. Hurling the word racist at people has become a kind of verbal terrorism. It blows up conversations. People in America do not want this level of immigration. That is a fact.

I haven't been, but a friend of mine was just there. San Jose is not first world, nor is the per capita income of the place even close.

[wardaddy]

Don't go bashing Serbia Torie.

They have been dealing with our current foe for a millenium....we should give them a break for being unclivilized on occasion.
I forgot about Uruguay ...quite white as you say....good looking women too.

I will go out on a limb and make the following prejudical statement (imagine that..lol):

Nearly everywhere the British (what folks really mean historically as WHITEY) settled and colonized and exploited and oppressed is now much better off because of said exploitation and oppression.

Rule Brittania!

[Dog Gone]

You're calling me a communist? That's cute.

We were one nation, one people.

[Torie]

Btw, quiz time: whixh nation has a higher per capita income, Costa Rica or Mexico?

[Torie]

Nearly everywhere the British (what folks really mean historically as WHITEY) settled and colonized and exploited and oppressed is now much better off because of said exploitation and oppression.

Of course. :)

[Thumper1960]

There will come a time when a certain segment of the population will take it upon themselves to "cull the herd". Unless those who rule take steps to abate the unfettered influx of illegals, there will be an increase in instability which may well make us more like those Third World countries.

[mrustow]

What does color have to do with culture? Pat is the one that brought it up with his article title. Anyone that lays wreathes for dead nazis, talks about amen corners, and speaks out against the war on terrorism the way he has is a bit off.

Which dead Nazis?

[freedumb2003]

IMO, the data articulated by Pat is are correct

Learn English!

My father's family emigrated over here from Italy and the establishment of the day said the same thing about Italians to the point of discrimination that many black people had better living conditions.

Should I assume that your family's home language is still Italian? (See post 34).

[freedumb2003]

San Jose is not first world, nor is the per capita income of the place even close

Yeah but Santa Maria OTOH

[BushMeister]

This is not "Pat blather". This is a life and death issue to this nation. What happens when a nation has no coherent, dominant culture or race? I'm not saying "ethnic group", as in Irish, Italian, German, Swedish, etc., but a nation divided by race, perhaps as follows: 40% white, 25% hispanic, 20% asian and 15% black. Can such a nation be held together, when each group (except the white group, of course) identifies itself primarily by race, presses for advantages according to race, and "discriminates" according to race? Are we pretending that human nature has been changed?

I agree that most on this forum that America is made greater and more fascinating by the inclusion of non-white citizens. But here is an important question: do European-descended whites have a right to claim any land on this earth as their dominant zone? Can they insist that any territory, be it North America, Europe, Russia (parts thereof) or Australia, remain majority white-populated? If not, how can we hope to retain out culture or identity, when every other racial group vigorously practices exclusion of whites from their own territory, in addition to incursion into white-dominated territory?

The unprecedented standard of living created by ethnically european cultures over the last few centuries have made their homelands a magnet for immigrants. But does that mean that it is the duty of North America, Europe and Australia to accept these migrants, regardless of the effect on their homelands- especially when non-white homelands remain intact as power centers and potential rivals?

[wardaddy]

I did not mean for you to think I was questioning your intelligence.

I think Pat (and myself to a degree) fear that our huge Mexican wave will one day rule here the way they do in Mexico.

Not too pretty if you think about it.

I would prefer we were a bit more discriminating in our immigration policy and tried to limit it across the boards and had a fat guest worker program.

We are very inconsistent and unfair.

Take white folks for example in South Africa and Rhodesia etc. We pushed them to capitulate to black rule for decades under the guise of the right thing and now that they are being killed and run out of their own countries we pressured them to surrender to the third world, where are we to help them? I'm not aware of any large program to help persecuted white farmers in Rhodesia or South Africans wishing to come here for safety or refuge. What about doing the right thing?

Now the Dems love this....I mean they get ecstatic over it and with good reason. They believe a brown America will be delivered to them and it's hard to argue that so far.
