Lemme ask you something, who would you rather have as a neighbor? Colin Powell or Kid Rock? Most thinking people would say the former.
Would Pam Anderson be part of the package?

I think those are two pretty extreme examples. I don't believe most black people in America identify with Colin Powell, nor do most whites identify with Kid Rock.

People naturally want to live around their own race. Just like a bone naturally wants and needs to grow. The truth is some Americans may like multiculturalism, but most don't. They want to live around their own race. White flight is known and happens all the time. Even black and latino flight happens a lot. I personally feel the different races need to stay on separate countries by Nature.

But all those white men who fought that war waited until every western hemisphere country except Brazil had already banned slavery in their own countries. And the same white men went to Texas to fight for the right to own slaves, since Mexico had abolished slavery decades before anybody in the US lifted a finger to stop slavery. So, good white men of America fought two wars in defense of slavery, after it had already been abolished by every English- and Spanish-speaking country in the Americas.

American Renaissance News: Do Americans Really Want Diversity? (http://www.amren.com/mtnews/archives/2008/08/do_americans_re.php - broken link)


Diversity of religion, language, culture and especially race is now one of the official benefits of living in the United States. From the President on down, public officials glory in the transfor-mation of our country from a European nation into an Afro-Hispanic mish-mash. It is impossible to find a mainstream defense of homogeneity or even of free association, now that every American institution and major organ of communication is an ardent branch of the church of diversity.

But what do ordinary Americans think about diversity? Or at least what are they prepared to tell a poll-taker about it? Last December, the New Century Foundation, which publishes American Renaissance, hired a polling company to conduct a telephone survey. We had Opinion Research Corporation International of Princeton, New Jersey, ask a representative sample of about 1,000 Americans the following questions and propose the following possible answers:

(1) Would you rather live in a neighborhood where your race is in the majority, or one in which it is a minority?
a. Majority.
b. Minority.
c. Makes no difference.

(2) The Census Bureau predicts that if current levels of non-European immigration continue, in 40 or 50 years whites will become a minority in the United States. Overall, do you think this will be a good thing for the country or a bad thing for the country?

a. Good thing for the country.
b. Bad thing for the country.
c. Makes no difference.

(3) Until the 1960s, immigration to the United States was overwhelmingly from Europe. Now, with large-scale immigration from non-European countries, the United States is becoming more diverse in terms of race, language, religion and culture. Do you think this a good thing for the country or a bad thing for the country.

a. Good thing for the country.
b. Bad thing for the country.
c. Makes no difference.

MOD CUT
Most people I think would prefer living around people who share the same values and cultures as their own. If that means being around their own nationality, so be it. I don't mind some diversity, but I don't think it's some great thing like some people seem to. 5 years ago you never heard of it, now I hear it so much my head hurts.

I like living around people like myself, no matter what race they happen to be.

That is absolutely true, but something that certain factions don't want to be commonly known. Remember, it's all the white man's fault and no one else.
