It is not race, or color of skin that matters, what matters, what is inside the citizenry of the nation. What he or she wholes dear. Is it justice? Is it equality? it is fair play? Is it wanting for your fellow man what you truly want for yourself. What matters, is doing what's right, doing what's right is not a result of skin color, doing right is what comes from the heart and mind of each every man or woman. Not the color of the skin. Each person who holds in their heart and minds; that all men all created equal, and are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, then they are my brother, my sister and they are ones whom I'm proud to say, they are a fellow American.

I doubt it. Plenty of Latin American family and cultural traditions, among others, will stay on, become widely integrated, and then become part of the American lexicon.

Some of them - such as grandparents living at or near home, providing free childcare services and passing down a sense of family identity while mom and dad work, are a hell of a lot better IMHO (and, incidentally, a hell of a lot closer to how it USED to be in the US) than the retirement home/seniors' community/daycare-to-latchkey/both parents working long hours to sustain an unnecessarily large house status quo you see touted as the "American Dream."

I'm learning Spanish. The USA demographics are changing. Better get with the times.

In 30 years, we're Mexico 2.0.

I'm sorry does that seem harsh? I bet it does. Peace.

Waste of time.
I'm Mexican-American and i don't even know spanish lmfao.

the sad posts that think they will get rich by a bunch of wasps dying ignores the need for doing what they did to get what they had. asians prosper here and hispanics too
u need to look at what they did to prosper instead of hoping that some people will die thinking that will somehow make u rich.
Huck, how can anybody be that stupid to think such things? I mean how?

Also this idea that whites will die off is a joke, when the welfare state collapse it will hurt Hispanics far far far more then whites, it will hurt but not to the same degree.

Look around all the other hispanic Spanish speaking nations that the USA is fast becoming. They all have whites and the whites tend to dominate the upper class of the two-class systems of those countries. Mexico has white people -- but they're not the ones having to flee Mexico. Mexico also has some exceedingly rich people -- plenty of whites in that group.

That doesn't work well in a culture where people want social security and retirement incomes. In those cultures, the retirement age is very young, women don't work at all, and children are required to take care of their parents -- but the children never leave home either, they stay in the elderly parents' home. The female children are the caretakers of the elderly, there is very little equality and social mobility. You're born into wealth and stay wealthy, or you're born dirt poor and you'll always be dirt poor. You can't relocate for better jobs when you have to stay home and care for the elderly.

If you think that culture works, then why are so many fleeing those cultures and are not heading to other hispanic countries but all bypassing them to get to the USA where the culture is quite different?

..and you'll still be yammering about the tea party and Medicare

As you do in every single post, no matter what the topic is

Default The United states is a nation of color.

Today's "people of color" are tomorrow's Tea Party. You young punks think you know something about everything. A whole bunch of us "old geezers" were your age in the 60's and early 70's and could teach you a thing or two.
