Open letter to the white Rightwing

[guno]

Hit the nail on the head to what will be coming:

You need to drink up.

And quickly.

And heavily.

Because your time is limited.

Real damned limited.

So party while you can, but mind the increasingly loud clock ticking away in the corners of your consciousness.

The clock that reminds you how little time you and yours have left.

Not much more now.

Tick, tock.

Tick, tock.

Tick.

Tock.

I know, you think you’ve taken “your country back” with this election — and of course you have always thought it was yours for the taking, cuz that’s what we white folks are bred to believe, that it’s ours, and how dare anyone else say otherwise — but you are wrong.

You have won a small battle in a larger war the meaning of which you do not remotely understand.

‘Cuz there is nothing even slightly original about you.

There have always been those who wanted to take the country back.

There were those who, in past years, wanted to take the country back to a time of enslavement and indentured servitude.

But they lost.

There were those who wanted to take us back to a time when children could be made to work in mines and factories, when workers had no legal rights to speak of, when the skies in every major city were heavy with industrial soot that would gather on sidewalks and windowsills like volcanic ash.

But they lost.


And in the pantheon of American history, conservative old white people have pretty much always been the bad guys, the keepers of the hegemonic and reactionary flame, the folks unwilling to share the category of American with others on equal terms.

Fine, keep it up. It doesn’t matter.

Because you’re on the endangered list.

And unlike, say, the bald eagle or some exotic species of muskrat, you are not worth saving.

I'm gonna try again.

Guno, I'm curious about your glee over the inevitable demographic shift in America.

Would you kindly describe the source of this glee? For example, do you feel that "white people" deserve to have less influence, perhaps as payback for wrongs they have done? If so, would you say that white people are worse than people of other "colors"?

Please expand on this. A sincere, civil, curious request.

Okay, so this is about payback for you?

Also, the author of this piece appears to be white. What does it mean to you that he refers to "you and yours" as if he were not white?

Timothy Jacob "Tim" Wise (born October 4, 1968)

Wise was born in Nashville, Tennessee, to Michael Julius Wise and LuCinda Anne (née McLean) Wise. His paternal grandfather was Jewish (of Russian origin), while the rest of his ancestry is northern European, including some Scottish.

Wise has referred to himself as Jewish.

You might wish to see Jews such as Tim Wise as whites, Mac, but Jews see themselves as a distinct people.

The take back our country has been misconstrued.
It means all citizens are the boss of our government, not the other way around.

Is there any point to this thread other than for the racist OP to vent weakness, hatred, and fear for the 1,000,000,000,000,000,000th time?

Some people seem to think that because this is the Race Relations forum, every thread is supposed to be about their own personal racism.

Doesn't leave much to discuss.

So, was there a point?

I am not sure how well-placed glee over white death is.

First, express it too much, and you might just trigger a burst of white defiance fertility.

Second, what will come afterward? The assumption is: some multicultural, non-white nirvana. But the problem is, there's no such thing. It's going to be a freakin' mess. Look at Brazil. Africa. Do those look like nice places to live? You won't have the infrastructure to support the Internet, for pete's sake!

You'll be wishing ol' whitey would come back to life!

Because in about forty years, half the country will be black or brown. And there is nothing you can do about it.

Nothing, Senõr Tancredo.

Nothing, Senõra Angle, or Senõra Brewer, or Senõr Beck.

Loy tiene muy mal, hijo de Puta.

And by then you will have gone all in as a white nationalist movement — hell you’ve all but done that now — thus guaranteeing that the folks of color, and even a decent size minority of us white folks will be able to crush you, election after election, from the Presidency on down to the 8th grade student council.

Like I said, this is math. And numbers don’t lie.

The black population isn't raising significantly at all. It's steady at 12% and will probably start to decline. They've already been surpassed by Hispanics (thank God). Between black murder rates, abortion rates, the black community's big homosexuality problem(and with it AIDS), and the fact a good chunk of the living ones end up in prison, we're not too worried about being "overtaken" by negroes.
