The End of White America?

The Election of Barack Obama is just the most startling manifestation of a larger trend: the gradual erosion of “whiteness” as the touchstone of what it means to be Am
erican. If the end of white America is a cultural and demographic inevitability, what will the new mainstream look like—and how will white Americans fit into it? What will it mean to be white when whiteness is no longer the norm? And will a post-white America be less racially divided—or more so?
"Civilization’s going to pieces,” he remarks. He is in polite company, gathered with friends around a bottle of wine in the late-afternoon sun, chatting and gossiping. “I’ve gotten to be a terrible pessimist about things. Have you read The Rise of the Colored Empires by this man Goddard?” They hadn’t. “Well, it’s a fine book, and everybody ought to read it. The idea is if we don’t look out the white race will be—will be utterly submerged. It’s all scientific stuff; it’s been proved.”

What a sad and sorry bunch of backward-thinking people you are. That's really all that needs to be said.
Have a nice day.
It is such an honor to be White and of European descent! It's totally unnatural that any White person should wish to be something foreign to his or her heritage.
You know, I could never bring myself to write an article expressing glee at the decay of Chinese or Japanese society and culture, if such a miserable fate were to overtake these nations as has overtaken the West. The writer of the article must have an inferiority complex to write so callously about so serious a topic.
The White race has not only created glorious works of art, it IS itself a glorious work of art.
Western music (both folk and art music) is so superior to "hip-hop" that it is a mark of shame for any White (or Asian, for that matter) person to write or speak respectfully and worshipfully of this kind of Black culture. The greatest Western works of art and music point to the very Creator of the Universe -- e.g., The Art of Fugue by J.S. Bach.
The politically-designed erosion of White identity and culture is the greatest tragedy this world has ever seen, and those responsible for bringing it about are guilty of the greatest crime against humanity in all world history.
well now u see what we have gone through. And main stream america wil never acept you
Korea is a perfect example of this. The American armies fought in the Korean war and established a presence in South Korea. South Korean societies have lost touch with their ancestry. They have become more western like. Many people have mixed races with the Europeans. Many of them hate us because of this.
Jan. 26 anon, why are we a bunch of backward thinking people? Not so long ago many of your ancestors probably would have thought the same way. What is wrong with holding on to traditional values? Values of family, religion, morality, race, ect. If it were not for white people this country would not exist in its present form. We would not be the greatest nation in the world. We would not have freedom. God blessed this nation because it was a Christian nation that honored God. Now we move away from that and look at the mess this nation is in. Morality and values have been thrown out the window. I think the backward thinking individual is you. People like you who want to change everything. Who want to erode family, religious and racial and moral values. You are the problem not us.
I agree with the Korea statement. I do not blame the Iraqis for wanting to perserve their heritage too. We should get out of there and not force our values on them.
I do not care what anyone says it is horrible. Can you imagine how Nathan Bradford Forrest would re-act to knowing that we have a black president? Like you did say, though, our nation IS under judgement of God
What scares me is not so much the color issue but the values that colored people keep. Look at them. Many of them are drunks, drug addicts, drug dealers, criminals. That one writer called us backward-thinkers. Really? Is it normal thinking to honor thugs like Tupac Shakur? I know many children and adults who think of him as a hero. They honor this man. This thug lived a gangster life style. That is really something to honor. Their are many other rapper thugs who get honored also. What if I honored Ted Bundy or John Wayne Gacy or Tim McVeigh would you find that normal? I would hope not. White Christian values made America and without them America will suffer.
Yes, General Forrest has rolled over in his grave! What a sad turn of events for this nation.
The southern states should get together and break away again and form their own nation as we did before. This is no longer the America we know and love. I would support such an action and would proudly stand up for a white christian controlled south.
You have all the rights and benefits that you always have had as Americans. You have lost absolutely nothing but others have gained equalityas Americans. Work hard, love your family, love your country and most importantly love God and everything will work out for the best. Race is not the issue, you are! By implying that you are something different because you are white is absurd. You are no better or worse! God is watching and you will be judged!
Jan 19 6:51 Anon. Who built this nation? Not with their hands but who designed it? Blacks? Who designed and built great cities like New York and Chicago? Blacks? Who's idea was it to build a nation of capitalism and freedom with an emphasis on Christian values? Blacks? None of these people were black. Look at the countries of Africa. They are poor, disease ridden, hunger stricken nations. Now look at Europe they are wealthy white nations. So yes color does play a part in this.
"You have lost absolutely nothing but others have gained equality as Americans."
All this Earth's natural resources are finite and limited. It is not possible for one individual to gain materially without someone else losing something. Likewise, it is not possible for one race to gain without another race losing something (such as territory, wealth, or gene-pool security).
Whites have LOST the supreme right to shield their children from degrading Negro culture and from constant pressure to conform to new undesirable and destructive behavioral norms.
White children and young adults are tempted ceaselessly to give their minds and bodies to the increasingly popular alien culture of negrophilia and race-mixing.
Whites have lost the most basic and the most important thing they ever possessed: the sacredness of Aryan racial integrity and the right to discriminate against Blacks in matters of morals and procreation.
Backward thinking? We believe life is sacred. That the innocent should thrive and the guilty should suffer. That the unborn should have a shot at life and those who kill should have their lives taken. Liberals believe the opposite kill the unborn and let the criminals live. We believe in morality. While liberals believe in homosexual union. We believe in God and hold to his commandments and His Word. Liberals believe in science as the only truth and Darwin's theory of evolution as the way we became who we are. You people are the backwards thinkers not us!!!
They honor terrorist William Ayers who bombed the Pentagon. So I guess Tupac aint that bad.
Are liberals racist? Darwin's theory of evolution is based on the idea that there are three types of humans. Causcasoid, mongoloid, negroid, negroid being the least advanced. Is this racist or what? I thought we were all equals?
