Do you fear becoming a minority?

"...She said she has been called a racist and a bigot. Asked whether she believes she is, Knowlton, who is white, responded adamantly, “No, because I don’t want to live amongst them..."

"...Her vote for Trump rests in something deeper than policies or proposals. For her, he is her champion, the champion of all of white America... ... “I want my country back,” she said..."



"...data shows that as minorities move into suburbs, white families are making small and personal decisions that add velocity to the momentum... ...They are increasingly choosing to self-segregate into racially isolated communities..." "...So as the country diversifies, white Americans are increasingly choosing to live among each other..."


"...his [Trump] blathering noise is all over the place. The unspoken signal is crystal clear: keep America white.

"...this explains why evangelicals were willing to vote for a man who so clearly did not live by their values – as he promised to keep them dominant..."



This explains why The Cult loves the idea of a wall. They don't care if it's not very effective, it's a symbolic manifestation of their fear of becoming a minority.

I've heard that whites will become a minority somewhere between 2044 and 2050. Given this known trend, how will whites react when 2044 approaches? Will 'white flight' rapidly accelerate? Will they become even more radical, wiling to vote for a Repub politician who's racism is even more overt than Trump's?

So I'm curious about Trump supporters here, How many feel some anxiety, but not panic? How many who fear this trend to the point of personally acting to stop it? And hopw far will they go, or more to the point, how low will they go trying to hang onto their dominance?

Great post. I think as far as how whites will respond when they become a minority, I think it will be no different than the way any other group responds when they become a minority. The first generation will isolate and avoid contact, shunning anything that could be construed as "exotic" and pining for the traditions and values they were raised with. The second generation will befriend people of other cultures and begin to adopt a few mannerisms and beliefs of the other cultures and this will make the first generation intensely uncomfortable. The first generation will die off and the third generation will not even notice that there ever was any difference between "white culture" and the melting pot that their social circle has become.

What's sad is that individuals of the first generation don't HAVE to put themselves through this. Courage and open mindedness can make the transition entirely painless. Many will, but there will always be some (examples of which are all over the DP boards) who will go to their graves living a life of fear and misery at the "loss" of what they approve of to be called "white culture."
 
Thanks for the Boise demographic information, the totally irrelevant demographic information.

Why would I "... tell us how we're all afraid of non-whites and don't want to live with them"?

Why would you want me to tell "us" something I don't believe in nor have I ever said before?

That is really, really dumb!

You make no sense.

Of course I make sense. Liberals like to pontificate on how racist they think conservatives are and they very often do so from places where virtually no minorities live.

The left doesn't believe in the melting pot. If they did, they wouldn't be so heavily invested in identity politics. To them, your race, ethnicity and gender are your most salient characteristics. What you know or can contribute comes in second.

1.) reading what she said shes a nutter . . wow . . that lady is severely uneducated and like many bigoted views and all racism her positions are based on the foundation of ignorance topped with irrational fear
2.) When I think about where i want to live around this area race is never an issue, thats just weird
3.) SOME trump supporters and SOME evangelicals absolutely believe in that and want that . . SOME
4.) I dont know why some people support the wall but if a person is educated on the topic, logically theres no support for the wall to be the focus and worth a national emergency if the goal is to address illegal immigration and drugs
5.) NORMAL people i know right, left, center . . black, white etc dont care much at all . . its INTERESTING . . but i dont see any reactions pending from them .. . again NORMAL people
6.) In AMERICA who is the majority or minority doesnt matter to me as long as we remain america and follow the constitution and keep improving equal rights which we have been doing. We need to do it even more.

How the Whites will react is written on "the wall." They will put an end to democracy in America. It's pretty obvious.
 
Yet white, liberal elites live in upscale lily white enclaves behind walled estates. The left gives that a pass but if they find people at Walmart expressing anxieties of one type or another, they jump on that like a dog on a ham bone. It's dishonest and hypocritical but hardly unexpected since it happens again and again.

??? Liberal elites build walls to keep out diversity? Source that.

I would say a more accurate statement would be that people use walls and other security precautions to keep out crime.

In your mind, is crime linked directly with other cultures (diversity)?

Identity politics are an unfortunate side effect of a long history of systemic racism. It is an artificial effort to right historic wrongs. Do they get it wrong? All the time. But until we get a few more generations into a true melting pot culture where whites are no longer the dominant majority, both sides are going to use identity politics to battle the other.
 
I love Conservatives!

Being a Liberal myself I would never ever have known what I was supposed to think or how I was supposed to act if it wasn't for Conservatives so authoritatively affirming what being a Liberal is all about!

Thanks to so many Conservatives, without you all I could never be the LIBERAL that I have become!

Woo Hoo!

:2wave:

I can vouch for this. When I first met LouC, I viewed him as a reasonable, moderate conservative. Over time, conservatives appeared to keep moving to the right, meanwhile leaving LouC without a home, and as an added bonus, they seemed to blame LouC for their rightward shift.

It's as if some conservatives think they'll lose their man card if they don't keep daring each other to move more to the right.

In the process, they assume ideological positions that make themselves look like impotent, pouty, rage-filled bozos who literally want to build a wall around their imaginary victimhood.

Yep, walls are used for security. They aren't "immoral". That's why we want one on the border. The point about liberal elites is that they are all about do as I say, not as I do.

LOL

Seriously, you are going to go with that line of silly BS?

LOL

Show me the evidence I have done such a thing!

Toss out all the weighted language and flawed premises, and you've got yourself an excellent subject to discuss.


OM
 
Being unique persons distinct from those others around us we are all minorities of one. So no, I do not fear becoming a minority.

Cheers.

We are discussing diversity. How do you connect your post re: walls in this thread with liberals resenting/fearing diversity? Are you now claiming diversity is immoral? Or that you believe liberals believe that?

I thought my questions were pretty clear.
 
Nope. I spent most of my adult life living in countries where whites made up less than 5% of the population. Wasn’t any skin off my nose.

What the hell are you talking about? My point was clear and straightforward. Liberals are hypocrites. I doubt many migrants live in Pelosi's neighborhood but anyone wanting to limit their influx is somehow racist. It's all about the hypocrisy which they dish out daily.

Pretty sure that 'white flight' has been going on for 50 years. Plus I happen to know people with names like Gomez, Acevedo, Torres and Ortiz who, if you lined them up next to me and played 'Whos the White guy?' you would likely struggle. The truth is, skin color has become more of an issue with the race obsessed left than it is with the right.
 
The faux moral grandstanding is their least palatable trait.

Yes. And that the idea that the right is racing further and further right is nonsense. It is the left that is racing further and further left as is clearly visible as the socialists rapidly takeover of the democrat party. Bill Clinton would never win the democratic nomination today. The democrats have become the party of the socialist Alexandria Dumbasio Cortez

Oh really?

Liberals love telling everyone we need to get rid of our cars and take a train, how we set our thermostats, how large of a Coke we can drink, attack free speech, attack conservative black people, arm the EPA better than some military outfits, use the IRS as a weapon against conservative groups.

What a BS partisan crock post.

This OP is about race. It's important to know where everyone stands.

So, what's your race? seriously, we need a baseline here.
