I''m sure the majority of us whiteys are already mixed to some extent. You just can''t tell. There were plenty of "massas" that took advantage of their female slaves in the barn.

I would like to see us get rid of all the hyphenated definitions and all carry simple title of Americans. That is, everyone who is in this country legally. The rest can leave, one by one either voluntarily or by force.

I recently lost out on a great job that I was extremely qualified for except for one thing.....I don''t speak spanish well enough.......I could not believe it when they told me I missed the cut because I''m not fluent in Spanish......I''m seeing an employment attorney next week but he did not sound hopeful that I have a case over the phone......

ProMacLaura.....You asked, "Why is it that poor white and black American''''''''s are insulted to go work in fields and harvest for farmers?"

Your premise is flawed. You have the tail wagging the dog. Your question should have been, Why does our government allow business owners to drop wages to minimum wage or less to run off american workers in order to hire illegals. Why would an american work in an effing hot a$$ field all day for $5 an hour or less when he can flip burgers at mcdonalds for $8 an hour?

So don''''t insult hard-working americans and suggest we won''''t work in a fied or chicken house or construction site.

Americans did these jobs since this country was founded. Nothing has changed except the business owners are exploiting illegals to the detriment of the american worker.

It''s so nice to have a culture whether it''s Chinese, Mexican, Italian, Russian, whatever. I can''t imagine growing up not having one.

The only difference is that if you are not 100% white you are not white. If you are 50% black you are still black.

That will make me a minority EVEN SOONER!!

Some smart whiteys made up THAT rule, I can tell.

txgrouch.....Very Good Point! Not only is the white race blending, all races are blending. My son is Biracial. He''s half black and half white. He''s not considered white but he is still considered black. But he is not completely black, so all races are sort of blending. The only difference is that if you are not 100% white you are not white. If you are 50% black you are still black.

take spanish classes and update your Resume, ill bet youlld find a job in no time.

Then they''ll sue me for impersonating a minority when I show up for work. Maybe rub on some skin tan lotion to make myself look darker? Then they''d notice my gringo accent. And the fact that I can add numbers together and calculate a percent.

YOU''RE OUTTA HERE, MISTER! WE DON''T WANT YOUR KIND AROUND HERE!!!!

When I''m a minority, it''ll all be DIFFERENT! I can STICK IT TO THE MAN!!!

the white race would eventually vanish.
Posted by toldyouso12 at 01:09 PM : Aug 08, 2008

One factor that has been overlooked is racial mixing.

I find white women intolerably selfish. I found myself more compatible with Oriental women. So I married a woman of mixed Chinese descent. We have produced two children.

Are those children then "pure" white? No. Are they "pure" Asian? No. They have "vanished" from the "white" population.

But THEY''RE STILL HERE. What happens when more and more mixed-race families have more and more mixed-race children?

Whites aren''t vanishing. We''re blending.

1. Having laws put in place that helps enforce and reward their majority and covertly harms you as a minority
------------------
Fat lot of good those are doing me now.

2. Being denied jobs, bid contracts and other chances at fair competition because your skin is white ...
----------------------
That ALREADY HAS happened to me. SEVERAL TIMES.

-------------------
3. Having the white race continually singled out to point out their ills and failings.......
--------------------
Sticks and stones, sticks and stones, I NEED A JOB!

----------------------
4. Over time, the country will be led, via media, publishings and the working of the justice and social programs to despise anyone with white skin..
----------------
TOO LATE! That''s already happening.

Indians, Pakistanis et al, were added to the white race in the hopes that the injection of new blood would help to jumpstart or at least slow the rate of infertility.
Posted by toldyouso12 at 12:41 PM : Aug 08, 2008

Well, TAKE THEM OUT, for crying out loud!!! I want to CUT DOWN the population count for whites.
WE WHITES COULD BE A MINORITY IN THE NEXT YEAR OR SO!

I demand reparations. Posted by txgrouch2006 at 12:50 PM : Aug 08, 2008


LOL. You don''t want to do that. NO race would actively seek out the end of itself and if the trend towards infertility is true (and that is debatable) then to take them out means the white race would eventually vanish. Forget perks like AA or other so called welfare for minorities--the US gives out those perks because of inequities in the system that cannot be stopped or enforced. As for reparations--whites would have to wait for about 300 to 400 years of mistreatment of a relatively gross nature to even demand that. Reparations are what we give for grave injustices of one group to another-that would not be a loss of a job or not letting someone vote--we save reparations for concentration camp, genocide, slavery and other horrible things that wiped out a large segment of a pop. So whites would have to wait until they were almost wiped out--then they could get in line behind blacks waiting for reparations --something that blacks will never get and should not even ask for. (too much time passed, and too many chances and opportunities already given)

As a white person, I''''m LOOKING FORWARD to becoming a minority. Posted by txgrouch2006 at 10:03 AM : Aug 08, 2008


But then... there''s the down side:

1. Having laws put in place that helps enforce and reward their majority and covertly harms you as a minority

2. Being denied jobs, bid contracts and other chances at fair competition because your skin is white (though they probably will have AA where a few whites get hired and the Majority populations protest and are angry

3. Having the white race continually singled out to point out their ills and failings, like how many are criminals (the numbers will rise with the decrease in opportunities), how many diseases whites get more of (the #s will be skewed and based on their population not on the country as a whole)

4. Over time, the country will be led, via media, publishings and the working of the justice and social programs to despise anyone with white skin, not based on them as indiv. but based on what info society puts out.

Then, whites will find out that along with the perks of welfare, comes a whole lot of hurt that they could not begin to imagine--because if they could imagine the other side--truly imagine it--they would never have started that ball rolling like that in the first place. Think S.Africa--it will not feel good to be a minority where the difference is something like the color of your skin or hair texture.

Why is Bush against the National language of the USA to be English? Because he can''t speak it.

Then I can force the Asian and Hispanic majority to print everything in English so I can be too lazy to learn Spanish and Chinese.

Heh, heh! Bush and Clinton are smart whiteys. They''re waitin'' for the REAL white count to drop below 50%, THEN they''ll pull the Indians and Pakistanis out of the count WHEN IT''S TOO LATE for the other minorities to fight back.

WE WHITES COULD BE A MINORITY IN THE NEXT YEAR OR SO!

And just in time, WHEN WE GOT A BLACK DUDE FOR PRESIDENT!

DISCRIMINATION! PREJUDICE! I BEEN A VICTIM!!!

I demand reparations.

White people aren''''t less fertile, they just aren''''t inclined to reproduce more children then they can support. It is the White people supporting these ''''fertile'''' hispanics with their tax dollars.
If we decline in numbers, so will the economic stregth of the nation

Posted by tbbaot at 07:20 PM : Aug 07, 2008


Nope, whites are less fertile..all over the world. For every two women I know with kids, I can match at least 1 woman who is either desperately seeking help to get pregnant or can''t have kids and is adopting or going without.

This manipulation of information may have let white America feel better about their health and themselves--but it cannot hide an inexorable truth: The white race is diminishing--either they will continue to exist as a blend of other colored people (who will be called white, even if their skin is actually dark brown or black) or they will become a minority in the West and the date for that browning of the country has been pushed up to about 2026 by some sources.


Races should always be suspicious of any data which pits or compares the groups--because those numbers are almost always manipulated to placate one group or show a scientific or physical superiority to another--but if that superiority is not obvious--one has to wonder if it is even true. Beware any stats that say a group is sicker, more fertile, smarter, than another--because since we all are human--diseases can be shared, people can be taught and the lines will always blur. We only have to look at any groups within our own families to know fertility has gone way down and the need for medical intervention and adoptions has continued to climb.

if the minorities and poor white trash would stop having babies
Posted by beader59 at 11:29 AM : Aug 08, 2008


OOH! OOH! I FORGOT!!!!

BABIES!! BABIES!! Non-whies should have LOTS of BABIES!!!!!

That will make us whites a minority EVEN SOONER!!!

What do y''all think is a better hammock? One that comes with a stand, or one that you tie to trees like Homer Simpson. Yah, I''m liking that dude more and more.

Now the next question: I have only one tree in my yard. What kind of hammock would be good for that? Can I tie one end of the hammock to the stand and the other to the tree?

I figure I''d have, like, the best of both worlds that way.

What do y''all think? No, not you whitey. I was askin'' the MINORITIES. I figure they''d know more about it.

"The white population, I wouldn''t say is fading into the background, but it is becoming the older, less fertile part of the population," says demographer William Frey of the Brookings Institute."

In Europe, the population growth for whites is in negative numbers. In Scandinavia, the numbers approach 0. In America, we say we have no population growth for caucasian people--but since the mid 1970s, instead of real growth, the definition of who was "causasian " was changed so that growth could be claimed: Now those of Middle Eastern descent as well as Indians, Pakistan, and white derived Hispanics are also called caucasian or white. If those groups were eliminated or redesignated as they were in the past, based on skin color--the actual decrease in the white population would be far greater and a certain kind of panic would ensue.

For issues like infertility--based on numbers--the white population has the highest numbers. The same is true for cervical and reproductive cancers and other diseases which show a population of a certain race is on the decline.

Indians, Pakistanis et al, were added to the white race in the hopes that the injection of new blood would help to jumpstart or at least slow the rate of infertility. The next time you read about any groups so called problems with diseases--look for the actual breakdown in numbers--you will usually not find those (beware of things listed as % as that is based on a groups total numbers but not on the # of actual cases).
