When you don't have anything you play the "Assimilate" card.

If that's the case why isnt Detroit or Ohio or Kentucky ranking among the top states?? They speak English, embrace the values and use Welfare.

If divisions remain permanent, no. What usually happens is new and old groups eventually intermarry and over time the differences go away. You see it with the Vikings and Germanic peoples that went to Britain and mixed with the native Britons. It also happen in the USA with the various European and Protestant / Catholic groups. I think eventually all the groups in the USA will mix so much and create a new group that won't understand what all the fuss was about.

I wish I could be that optimistic but different races marrying each other won't erase the cultural differences and that's the main problem, IMO.

Wait till multi-culturalism goes after football, baseball , all that has been American culture. They already started with the Red Skins... just to put their toe in the water to see the reaction.
The globalists are trying very hard to destroy our history, our identity as a nation.. they want us to be just the world.. no borders, no countries, all on the same playing ground..

Our middle class has to be brought down in order for globalist markets to be able to equal the worlds pay grade.

Trump has put a big wrench into their world view .. as a one world governing body. One world leader above all nations..

Our history, our patriotism, our Constitution does not fit the narrative. Neither does religion. The way to progress is to go through the democratic party, our media takes care of the brainwashing of the masses, and it was going along just fine till the people recognized what was going on. And Trump came along.

The global powers are mad as hell. It did not go as they expected. Now they are figuring out a way to banish our history, go after our Founding Fathers, Shred our Constitution, Take away our guns. It is coming.. we will be all pawns to a one world governing body when our identity and our borders are gone.

I would have guessed Hawaii, a state where whites are a minority, and it has zero hate groups.

Not really. I know, I live there. Diversity doesn't necessarily equate to harmony.

This is an example of an Alt-Right thread.

The purpose is to simply reinforce those who already believe the US would be better off as a mono-culture.

You are wasting your energy trying to argue against the Alt-Right.

Ignore

I disagree. It is about values and those values influencing behavior that can cause problems. The problem that follows is when people pay attention to a particular behavior and consider it cultural, when it was brought about by values.

There will always be challenges with multiculturalism, but Canada seems to do relatively well compared to other countries. Canada is probably the most successful multicultural society in the world.

A multicultural society is more likely to succeed if immigrants are being sourced from cultures that value education and achievement.
