I think you are going to see in about 30 years that the whole black/white racial issue has gone out the window. It is already starting to happen. Michael Barone has written about this issue by comparing the black community to the Irish during the second half of the 19th century. During that time, the Irish were generally despised by Protestant Americans, and Irish-Americans largely returned the favor. A funny thing happened though as Irish-Americans became prosperous. As that happened, they also become more Republican in their outlook to the point that nowadays the enmity between Catholics and Protestants in this country is largely a relic of the past. The same thing is going to happen as blacks become more prosperous. As they do, they will become more Republican in their outlook and certainly much less willing to listen to race-baiters like Jesse and Al Sharpton. Every immigrant group that comes to the United States goes through the same process. In this regard, blacks are no different than the Irish, the Germans, the Poles and the Italians. It is just human nature. When you become more prosperous, you become much less willing to give up your independece and your God-given freedoms.

I'm not as optimistic. I see the black underclass growing and entrenching itself at a much faster rate than the black middle class. The same goes for white trash of which we have aplenty here in Nashville.

And they are joining forces so to speak and imitating one anothers worst habits at an incredible rate here.

Sorry....I hate to be so pessimistic. I look around at what passes for our combined culture these days....it ain't pretty.

Anyhow, I'm to bed. BTW, I'm not actually a middle aged southern white reactionary.....I just play one on Free Republic...

Regards.

You're dreaming!

The Irish are one of the three reliable legs holding up the Rat party - the other being the Blacks and the Jews.

The Italians have become Republican, the Germans, the Yugoslavs. But not the Irish. They still vote 2 to 1 Rat.

If anything, I think my mother's prophecy will come to pass. Americans' will eventually accept in Hispanics as white and get back to their age old business of keeping the blacks down and out.
