Whites Account for Under Half of Births in U.S. By SABRINA TAVERNISE May 17, 2012
WASHINGTON — After years of speculation, estimates and projections, the Census Bureau has made it official: White births are no longer a majority in the United States.
Non-Hispanic whites accounted for 49.6 percent of all births in the 12-month period that ended last July, according to Census Bureau data made public on Thursday, while minorities — including Hispanics, blacks, Asians and those of mixed race — reached 50.4 percent, representing a majority for the first time in the country’s history.
Such a turn has been long expected, but no one was certain when the moment would arrive — signaling a milestone for a nation whose government was founded by white Europeans and has wrestled mightily with issues of race, from the days of slavery, through a civil war, bitter civil rights battles and, most recently, highly charged debates over efforts to restrict immigration.
While over all, whites will remain a majority for some time, the fact that a younger generation is being born in which minorities are the majority has broad implications for the country’s economy, its political life and its identity. “This is an important tipping point,” said William H. Frey, the senior demographer at the Brookings Institution, describing the shift as a “transformation from a mostly white baby boomer culture to the more globalized multiethnic country that we are becoming.”

Oh, joy...
Chesterton on birth control/population control: In 1925 Chesterton wrote an introduction to Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol in which he said that “The answer to anyone who talks about the surplus population is to ask him, whether he is part of the surplus population; or if not, how he knows he is not.”
Better get back to the Bible in every way, including being fruitful and multiplying.
It really wouldn’t matter what color or race people were, if they solidly believed the Bible. Our great Country was founded and built upon the beliefs and principles in the Bible. Time to get back to them, and spread them. If we don’t, it is to our own detriment.
Free market. “White people” don’t believe in the future.
Better start working on that tan.
Birth Control by Whites - Recipe for Economic, Social, and Political Chaos. See Eurozone for reference.
Time to ban abortion and birth control.
OR, they have the old fashioned idea that one should be able to support them financially before bearing them....
Gray Davis held a special event celebrating the fact that Whites dropped below 50% of the California population. I’m sure that wasn’t racist at all...
So I assume that makes whites the new minority? If so, YO! I wants my RIGHTS! I am sick and tired of being oh-ppressed by the MAN!
I hope he gets mugged.
Look what the stork brought.....
A political catastrophe for Conservatives.
As a group, Asians, Hispanics and Blacks vote close to 75% for the Democratic Party.
New immigrant citizens vote close to 80% for the Democratic Party.
This NY Times article is “Political Power” dressed up to look like Sociology.
That’s eventually going to be self limiting as that is the political group tending to more abortions (and contraceptives).
Whites Account for Under Half of Births in U.S.[Zero Impact On Economic & Political ID of US!]
Zero impact.
Why?
Because it doesn’t matter whether the births are white, black, purple, or yellow IF the main things they think about are “What’s the best cell phone?” or “Who’s ahead in American Idol?”
Get my drift???
The MSM and communists are wetting their pants with glee.
I for one don’t give a golly damn what your skin color is, but nobody of sound mind is going to pretend that black and hispanic families/children are renown for their focus on success through advanced education.
So this bodes well for our coming communist masters. They can’t afford to have independent self-sufficient masses. They need people who can be made to feel comfortable in their multi-generation dependency. That is what they seek and what they are delivering.
Our coming communist masters are well pleased. The minions of their MSM propaganda wing wet their pants with glee.
All of you white liberals should be thrilled to know you have condemned your own grandchildren to minority status in their own native nation. Nice. Good going. No doubt they will be sure to thank you heartily on your success in giving them 2nd class citizenship in their own nation.
You succeeded beyond your wildest dreams. Evil laughter echoes in the depths of hell courtesy of Ted Kennedy. He got everything he ever dreamed of.
I heard some liberal talking once, lamenting that Christian conservatives, Orthodox Jews, and other people of faith, tend to have more children than liberal types. I think this liberal feared the political repercussions of so many conservative leaning people having more children.
This person also thinks that religion is a form of brainwashing, and fears that all these kids will vote in lockstep with parents, never think for themselves, etc.
Maybe at the root of liberal angst is that they want political power above all else. They fear being outnumbered/outvoted.
