A very good book: Dear White America

[guno]

"White Americans have long been comfortable in the assumption that they are the cultural norm. Now that notion is being challenged, as white people wrestle with what it means to be part of a fast-changing, truly multicultural nation. Facing chronic economic insecurity, a popular culture that reflects the nation's diverse cultural reality, a future in which they will no longer constitute the majority of the population, and with a black president in the White House, whites are growing anxious.

This anxiety has helped to create the Tea Party movement, with its call to "take our country back." By means of a radicalized nostalgia for a mythological past, the Right is enlisting fearful whites into its campaign for reactionary social and economic policies."

"Tim Wise is an American hero in the truest sense of the term -- he tells the truth, no matter how inconvenient that truth might be. Dear White America is a desperately needed response to the insidious mythology that pretends whites are oppressed and people of color unduly privileged. In the process, it exposes how new forms of racism have been deliberately embedded into our supposedly 'color blind' culture."

Not another I hate whitey thread.

As I have no clue with whom all my great great grandparents associated with, do I need a DNA test to determine if I am "white"?

Tim Wise, another Jewish anti-White racist. What a surprise.

Why does Time Wise live in a neighbourhood of Nashville, Tennessee that is almost 97% White? Surely he'd feel more at home where Blacks are the demographic majority?

What do "the blacks" have to do with this thread? The OP only mentioned the biracial POTUS who is currently in office. The demographic makeup of this country is NOT changing to predominately black, so breath a sigh of relief.

Hispanics and Asians are the most rapidly growing minority groups in America. The real world is not "black versus white".

Nope. Mixed-race people are the fastest growing demographic.

Could be, but this article has a different perspective. What is a fact though is that it is not going to be a "black and white" America in the future.

Who cares, as long as it's America?

I would love to see that sentiment prevail in this country during my lifetime.

Transplant 150 million Nigerians into America and America is no longer America. Transplant 150 million white liberals into Japan and Japan is no longer Japan.

That is precisely the point of those who are concerned.

False example in every way. You seem to understand nothing about America.

This statement is true in NY.

Concerned that America will do the kind of "changing" and "re-making" and "fundamental transforming" that the Left has been working for, for so long. Well, in fact, it already is.

The concern is that minorities (and yes, there are always exceptions) have been conditioned by the Left to think differently than Americans have in the past. Standards have been lowered, excuses made, fingers pointed. If that continues, and there is no indication that it will not, a natural decay will occur.

Look Guno's threads, all of them. It's never - ever - about how minorities are going to remove power from white people by out-performing them, by out-working them. No, its always about demographics, that minorities are going to gain control simply by out-breeding whites. It doesn't get more obvious than that.

If the "browning of America" means that minorities are going to gain power and influence through hard work and performance, great, sounds good to me. If it means that they gain power and influence by no means other than demographics -- and that's all I ever see -- then the decay will continue.

Personally, I don't care. My children - mixed race, by the way - are doing great and will continue to do so. But it's sad to watch this country decay, largely as a result of lowered standards, not to mention the self-loathing of people like Guno.

Yeah, look at all his stupid fucking racist posts. As far as we know he is not representative of any of the 'groups' he keeps squealing about. As far as we can tell, he is another white liberal born right here presuming to speak (in his case idiotically and offensively) for whatever minority. It doesn't get more obvious than that. If you want to worry about something, worry about the proliferation of hateful fools like him.
