Hispanics are sometimes more openly racist than whites are against blacks. For now it's excused away by the "only whites can really be racist" mentality but once hispanics become a majority it may be different. Some blacks are already feeling the effects of this in formerly black neighborhoods that are now dominated by hispanics, where the hispanics are not shy about telling them straight up that they want them out of the neighborhood. Charlie Rangel just had a little election scare due to Harlem not having as big of a reliable black voting block as it used to. He had to rely on the Puerto Rican vote to win, but luckily for him they ended up backing him.

I'm all for the changing demographics. I can't wait till the majority of the people are of mixed race. Maybe then we won't care so much about race.

Huh?? They aren't fleeing the geography. They're fleeing the cultural and political systems in those areas.

Black unemployment is at all time highs, so I don't understand why the black slave masters like obama, holder, sharpton and jackson are not rallying their people to join in the fight against illegal immigration and amnesty.

But anyway, enjoy!
You are behind on your employment stats.

No, they are coming here merely because the US is close. They aren't going to Europe, despite Western and Northern Europe having far superior welfare states to our pathetic one.

Since I see you are in favor of the welfare state please explain why since despite the fact that every single socialist country has collapsed throughout the whole of history.

Panama is close too.

They aren't fleeing there because they don't pay them to be butt-sitting leeches.

Which begs the question, why should blacks be concerned that Anglos are not going to be the majority anymore? I see the Anglo posters on here saying things like how they don't understand how blacks can tolerate this when they are the victims of illegal immigration. Really? I don't see many blacks protesting the arrival of illegals, it's mostly Anglos. As a white person who is from an island that is 90% non-white, I don't see what is there to be so scared about. Then again, when I was younger, I was the minority and never thought it was a big deal. Didn't matter what race you were or where you came from, if you were born in PR, you are the son/daughter of PR, even if you are Chinese or a "gringo".

I'd like to hear from black posters as well. How do you feel about the changing demographics of the country? Like I said for me, I am not concerned or bothered in the slightest. As long as they stay out of my way, I don't care. I already lived life as a minority growing up, and moving to a state that is majority Anglo I actually experienced discrimination, something I never experienced in majority mixed race Puerto Rico.

By the way, I need to make this clear right now, this topic is not about illegal immigration
Not scared in the slightest, as a black guy, and here's why:

Races are social, not scientific. It's just a matter of time until folks start accepting Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Japanese, etc. into "whiteness". Hell, if you look around, you can already see it starting to happen. Just check out Ted Cruz, and how people rally to his incoherent self while he protests his own policies - or for an uglier example, Elliot Rodgers. That dude was half Asian himself, talking about how inferior Asian guys are.

It's easy, if you understand what whiteness in America *is*. It used to exclude Irish, Jewish, and Italian people. Southerners even excluded *northerners* from the title, in some cases. Nowadays, they're all good. Whiteness is about making sure that there's someone to look down on, not about where you're from. And if white people are the minority in the country - well, according to their own rules (yes, we know, not *all* white people), they have lost the country. So what's the easiest way to *keep* it? Well, if you're in power, it's to convince the immigrants to side with *you*. Race has played out this way in the United States, before we united that states. Why would it change now?

And as for us black folks? We'll get through it, as we always do.

So? That doesn't negate the fact that hispanics are fleeing the Spanish speaking nations they built -- coming here by the millions, and it isn't about geography because all those Central Americans pass through a Spanish speaking nation to get to the USA.

Why would anyone want that culture to take over the USA when it's an unbearable culture -- proved by the stampede of people coming over the border. Hispanics are not good nation-builders.
