Well, looks like the resident RAHOWA contingent needs to get a move on then.

Maybe you are a little too scientific about it. If they look white they are white, if they look black, they are black etc. Both of my parents are scandinavian, but if someone studied my genes, they might find an Asian or African gene that I didn't know about, and then declare that I am not white after all. Most hispanics look white to me, so in my eyes they are white.

Thats probably the very same questions that those Native tribes were asking when folks from europe invaded their lands, only your putting on the same shoes they did many moons ago, perhaps you should visit a settlement and ask them yourselve to get a better perspective?


PS, pardon the finger pointing if i mistaken you for something/someone else, hard to tell if you speak for the minority or the current majority.

I wasn't talking about England in my post.

There's an invisible morale episode to the drama. I think what they also fear is the retribution part, their scared of what could happen to them as minority if and when that happens, i mean, it's bound to happen isnt it? You know, karma and the such. I think "FEAR" itself is the enemy, some people just dont know how to deal with it and end up making it worse than what it is.
Its the white progressives who fear "karma" since they are the one's who obsess over white guilt. They should just kill themselves, then their guilt would be gone.

Once the percentage of White voters falls to 50%, Hispanic voters increases to 30%, Black voters increase to 15% and Asian votes get to 5% you'll see scenarios like this

If a politician can capture 40% of the White vote then he or she has 20% of the overall votes

If a politician can capture 60% of the Hispanic vote he or her will get another 18% of the total vote.

If a politician can get 90% of the Black vote they will have 13.5% of the total vote.

If a politician can get 50% of the Asian vote then they have 2.5% of the vote.

Guess what boys and girls that politician has just gotten 54% of the vote.

Now ask yourself which political party is currently capable of achieving this and which isn't?

This presents the reality if the Republican Party doesn't change they will have a harder and harder time winning Presidential elections and elections in states with changing demographics.
Then you'll have minority groups fighting over an ever-shrinking entitlement pie. It WILL be entertaining.

Some of them are mulatto, but my whole point is to say most of them are white, and you can tell by looking at them.
Your point is totally irrelevant if the people you are looking at don't perceive themselves as "White" like you do.

This is mother nature at work here regardless of what us old white guys think. In 100 years nobody is going to give a fiddler's fk what we think. America, love it or leave it and quit complaining that you can't control it.

It won't be all that entertaining for you since you'll be right there fighting to keep your slice too.

that's why MORALITY based social issues are so important they are what unites many people from all demographics (except white liberals).

when it comes to fighting against things like same-gender "marriages". Wasp, White Catholics, Jews, Blacks, and Hispanics unite together in one voice.
