What do you think would occur?

Would there be protests against people saying "Happy Kwanzaa"?

Would Swahili, for example, become a major language?

Would social conservatism be reflected in nationwide law?

Is it possible that the incarceration of young black males is part of a plan to prevent black Americans from gaining such a majority, and that there are agent provoceuteurs pitting young black men against each other so that that they will commit gun violence in urban areas such as Chicago, and thus help prevent the rise of a majority black American population?

Do you really need to ask this question because I'm pretty sure you already know the answer? Plain and simple if blacks were the majority in America, the nation would be FUBAR and in less than a decade the US would turn into a 3rd world craphole. Simple as that.

I hate What Ifs.
What if the majority was Japanese? What if the majority was Chinese? Or Mexican? Or Native American? or German? Or Italian? Or Nigerian? Or Taureg?

What if is simply too fuzzy to ever hold a serious discussion about. Any possibility is as valid as any other, and all can be equally invalid as well. None of these discussions ever go anywhere but in circles.

Actually, Harrier does not know that.

It is an interesting concept, however.

Perhaps you could explain why you believe such thing would occur.

Mission?

Harrier does not know what you mean.

Would you like to answer the question?

What do you think would occur?

Not much. The Mississippi flag would likely be changed and schools named after Confederates/segregationists would likely have their names changed.

Would there be protests against people saying "Happy Kwanzaa"?

I know lots of black people, none of them celebrate Kwanzaa.

Would Swahili, for example, become a major language?

I've only met one black person that spoke Swahili, and he was an immigrant. I know at least three black people who speak French, so maybe French will become a major language in this country.

Would social conservatism be reflected in nationwide law?

Is that the same social conservatism that incarcerates so many black people?

Is it possible that the incarceration of young black males is part of a plan to prevent black Americans from gaining such a majority, and that there are agent provoceuteurs pitting young black men against each other so that that they will commit gun violence in urban areas such as Chicago, and thus help prevent the rise of a majority black American population?

No.

Its (white) republicans who are turning America into a 3rd world bankrupt craphole.

Black people are not stupid enough to do things like (add the following $6.6 trillion dollars to Americas national debt) only white republicans are STUPID enough to want to do it.

Romney's Economic Plan Includes $6.6 Trillion Tax Cut For The Rich And Corporations | ThinkProgress


And (white) republicans want to abolish the EPA, IRS, FDA, public schools, public libraries, Post Office, ex.ex.ex......

What would America be like without all those government agencies?
Answer: Like a 3rd world country.


And how would blacks being the majority turn America into a craphole?

(scientists say racists are stupid people, so racists will not be intelligent enough to answer the above question.)

The sad thing is that your assumption is made with no variance of history in your assessment. Meaning...You dont even take time to ponder...from what circumstance could this happen.

What if all history were the same until emancipation, and Blacks were form day one, allowed and helped to assimulate into all aspects of American society? What if black Americans never faced the reality of segregation, discrimination, and laws written with the full intention to keep blacks out of the American mainstream?

Would America have a stronger middle and upper middle class with far more black folk participating? Would there be far more black professionals and business owners? Would blacks be so much more invested in our society as to never have questions like this asked?

Your assessment is the typical non critical thinkng knee-jerk response.
