Wow! Being a minority opens the mind to new ideas and cultures? And it makes you more apprciated? Really?


Anyways, whites will not be the minority even beyond 2050, whites will still make up the largest racial group. Whites are only considered a possible minority when blacks, latinos, and Asians are all lumped together into one group.

Thus, I want to ask a question: What will be the future of the white race? how can we prevent a white minority in white nations?

My solution:

1. Stop interracial marriage. The first, most important step. A white and black creates a black.

2. stop non-white immigration

3. Urge whites to reproduce more,


this is not racist. All races want to take care of their own race, and the future of the race. Whites must do so too,

Births to Minorities Approach a Majority - New York Times

In the latest sign of the nation's shifting racial and ethnic composition, births to Asian, black and Hispanic women in the United States are on the verge of surpassing births to non-Hispanic whites.

Minorities accounted for 48 percent of all births in the nation in the 12 months that ended in July 2008. While it will most likely take years for health statisticians to confirm precisely when the 50 percent benchmark will have been reached, demographers said it could occur this year. Depending on variables like the recession, which has depressed birth rates, it will almost certainly happen within a year or two, they said.

''It looks like 'majority' births would drop below 50 percent around 2012,'' said Carl Haub, senior demographer for the Population Reference Bureau.

As recently as 1990, non-Hispanic whites accounted for almost two-thirds of births.

The Census Bureau estimates that minorities will constitute a majority of the nation's overall population in about three decades and a majority of Americans under age 18 in about one decade.

Oh Lawd, were you watching "three the hard way" last night with Jim Brown?

I love the diversity of America. Learning from the different cultures is a wonderful thing.

But your post verifies that the hate and rage is not about the health care bill. It comes from a very dark place and from fear. I feel very sorry for you.

Kennewick Man puts a wrench in the age old axiom that the Native Americans were here first.

Oh the irony of trying to limit other peoples' rights to "restore our country" which is founded upon the idea of equal rights for all.

Wonder where this would go if it were native Americans or other minorities instead of whites ? I think all races are important .

Thats like saying blue birds need to mingle with cardinals or tigers need to be with leopards . Should we allow them to all be one happy ethenicity too ?

I do agree that what makes a man is not the color of his skin but his charactor[ MLK Street Sweeper Speech ] . Yet we should all be proud of our heritage and who our ancesters were .

I'm from a long line of freedom fighters but I do like my race the best because its who I am and I like familiarity . I also love others who are not white if they are good people and dislike some who are white .

I wouldn't bet on it if I ere you ! The schools are turning our kids away from us, it is now PC to hate your parents, heritage and race especially if your white ! They consider you a slave owning war mongering homophobic right wingnut rino . This is what complacentcy does and the women listening to the man hating fems yr.s ago . The hand that rocks the cradle really does rule the world . The cradle was left at the nursery and guess who now rules ?

Second off, who the hell really cares? I dont care about being a minority, majority or whatever. People are people. There are good, bad, nice, and mean people in every race and country. It doesnt matter what race or nationality, people are people.

Third, diversity is a wonderful thing. Im very happy that where I live, there are lots of black/hispanic/white/asian in a short distance of each other. You should try embracing it instead of fighting.

Fourth, lets assume that all of the sudden there are no race, that we are all the same color. Then what? You can still do all of the things that you were doing before. How would life truly be any different?

I also echo that we were the invaders in this country. Unless you are a native American, minorities have just as much of a right to be here as you.
FYI: Arabs are White so you are '100%' Caucasian/White.

I have no issue with 'diversity' provided that said legal immigrants of any race/ethnicity (illegal aliens do not count since they are criminals and need to be deported) assimilate to the dominant WASP culture. In the interest of full disclosure; I am of part ethnic White lineage (1/2 Hungarian) but I self identify as an Anglo.

As for 'native' Americans; they originated in E Africa like the rest of us so all Americans are of immigrant stock.
