SPLC Tracks Declining White Percentage

You want America in 1800, too bad, those days are long gone. You were born into a thriving multicultural nation, but you can't handle that, can you?

He did say he'd be happy in that theocracy...that in any terms is a rigid society run by many many rules/laws, little respect for personal liberty, and real punishment for breaking those rules, even those that arent illegal or they are made illegal. Like fornication, for example.

This kind of rigid adherence to rules/laws makes some people more comfortable. It's easier for them to understand when their place in a society is very clear, how they should behave is very explicitly laid out, and they know *and need* the consequences that come with acting outside those rules/laws. When they question people that run off and join ISIS or join cults, this is a common factor. (When I read the part about needing and actually wanting the consequences I was pretty shocked but it explains alot)

Yeah and we interned the Japanese during WW2. Slavery was legal. We dont need to see more examples of ignorance and fear and even hate in America.

More evidence that diversity leads to unrest and violence. There would have been no internment if we had no Japanese here.

By no means does that mean the EQA was right. *snicker* you are a follower of a man who has already attempted that on a smaller scale and expresses a desire to expand it. :roll:

Unless...you are behind the purpose and use of the EQA? The paranoia it expressed towards certain groups that *holy ****!!!!* :doh actually assimilated very well into our country and added to our success?

What did we experience in the decades after the Emergency Quota Act? Decreased violence. Increased prosperity. High social trust. How have social indicators trended since we reintroduced massive immigration? Increased crime and violence. Decreased prosperity. Low social trust.

How would you feel about the NRA keeping track of the Muslim population?

So much projection - or perhaps just imagination - built into this. That the NRA and the SPLC are somehow opposites or rivals or different sides of the same coin. That the NRA has any interest in Muslims or Islam at all. That the SPLC's interest in demographics is analogous to any other group's. That the SPLC must be doing something nefarious (it's the NRA whose finances and conduct are in legal hot water these days). That there's a reason to be doing something nefarious ('race war', I suppose?). That the SPLC is somehow 'anti-white' because it protects minorities. That there's something suspicious about posting demographic statistics on a wall in an office that collects demographic statistics...That there's something wrong with collecting demographic statistics...

Go on, tell us what's actually happening with the memo. Tell us.

Because the obvious explanation is they collect demographic stats so they keep stats. So tell us what else they could possibly be doing.

So in other words you want America carved up into balkanized ethnic pockets which place their own local cultures before being Americans. No thanks.

Well said, thank you.

If the majority didnt react with hate, intolerance, etc there would be no conflict. :doh

Again, look at how much more easily the ethnicities that 'look like you' assimilated? Because it was less evident and harder to discriminate against them and because people were more comfortable with their 'looks.' If the same openmindedness were applied to people that 'looked' different, we could eliminate that violence you mentioned.

You are actually justifying the actions against those peoples in the past :doh Just so you can feel 'more comfortable. :roll:

Exactly what did those other 'peoples' do to deserve that treatment (that you are endorsing)?

 

[phattonez]

Wow, not sure where you are living but that's pretty much what we have. If you have a problem with transporting local products elsewhere, good luck having the producers of those products agreeing with your vision.

Talk about self-contradiction.

And as for all the same values, I see the secular life all around us very cohesive and if there are extremists in a religion, including Christians, that want their own place, well, like the Orthodox Jews and the Amish, maybe they can create those places for themselves. Feel free to try. I dont think there would be much traction.

The Amish don't have much traction? I don't know of any faster growing population.

Authentic American culture is based on the DOI...'all men are created equal.' If that's the case, I see no reason to reject some of those 'men' because of differences in food, dress, etc. The basic morals of all cultures are the same and our Constitution takes care of leveling that playing field. That diversity is exactly what provided invention, innovation, adaptation, and incredible variety to the US and contributed to our success as a nation.

So those cultures that throw homosexuals off of buildings, they have the same basic morals? Nazi Germany had the same basic morals that we do?

I am all for diversity and so are many other Americans who dont fear people that are different. I dont need to see 'people who look like me' around me to feel comfortable. (I hope to be invited in and fed. It seems most other cultures have much more interesting food than "that of my people"...the Brits and Germans.)

You people always run to fear. If people want to visit other cultures, there's nothing wrong with that. Just allow yourself to develop your own culture. Live a richer experience. You don't need to go to Tibet to experience culture when you can make culture at home.

I want the Holy Roman Empire.

Mark Potok, a senior fellow at the SPLC, has a note posted in his office tracking the non-Hispanic white percentage of the US population by year.

That's a little curious. Does anyone want to comment on this?

I'm doing my part.


Wife taking her citizenship oath.


2 kids now voting age. But to be fair they haven't voted yet as they have been away at college and were too lazy to get absentee ballots. Will encourage them to vote against 5 deferment cadet fake bone spurs scumbag in 2020.

 

[phattonez]

You want America in 1800, too bad, those days are long gone. You were born into a thriving multicultural nation, but you can't handle that, can you?

Thriving?

 

[phattonez]

They do encourage doing "the Lord's Work" and diminish worldly goods. They dont care how or where you are living, just as long as you serve the Lord.

They consider poverty a virtue...("vows of poverty and chasitity" are all so that there are fewer distractions between serving Him and daily life.)

Work is important, but as I said, it's not the end of human existence. We don't get our dignity from work.

 

[phattonez]

If the majority didnt react with hate, intolerance, etc there would be no conflict. :doh

I know a way to guarantee that. Don't force people to live together if they don't want to live together!

Again, look at how much more easily the ethnicities that 'look like you' assimilated? Because it was less evident and harder to discriminate against them and because people were more comfortable with their 'looks.' If the same openmindedness were applied to people that 'looked' different, we could eliminate that violence you mentioned.

Easily? There were a lot of anarchist Italians setting off bombs in the early 1900s. There was a lot of anti-German discrimination. And don't even start with the Irish. Easy? You have no sense of history.

Exactly what did those other 'peoples' do to deserve that treatment (that you are endorsing)?

They moved to neighborhoods where they weren't wanted.

 

[Hari Seldon]

I think it’s a bit racist but whatever. Can’t stop the change in demographics. I married a Mexican woman so I’m not even ‘helping’.

What I do wonder though is what happens once white people are a minority? Do we get all the special protections now? Do we actually get to address racism against white people?

Not "helping" what? Keep America white?

 

[Hari Seldon]

:screwy



That's a lie.

I think he's implying you're a communist. LOL! Too many facts and supported opinions, how dare you.

 

[Tigerace117]

I want the Holy Roman Empire.

The Holy Roman Empire was an incoherent mess famously described as not holy, not Roman and not an empire.

So, like I said, you wanted America Balkanized into ethic pockets which place local identity before being American.

There's a reason people in Germany got fed up with the HRE long before it dissolved.

 

[beefheart]

Thriving?

Wow, you dug up a meaningless graph.

Too bad for you, you were born into a diverse country and you can't handle it because you are terrified you will lose your white privilege and will have to settle for being equal.

 

[ecofarm]

I don't think communists are fiscal conservatives or hawks. And I don't think he ever went to college.

 

[Hari Seldon]

I want any explanation, not snark.

I think its a combination of economics, immigration and change in culture. Families are having fewer kids as 2 or 3 jobs are required to support a standard of living. Legal and illegal immigration has increased over time predominantly from non-white countries. (My daughter brought home 3 team members home for Thanksgiving, 1 from Hawaii, 1 from Norway and 1 from Sweden. The one from Hawaii was part Asian and the other 2 were looking forward to returning to their home countries.) Anyway inter-racial marriage has become acceptable if not quite common place. Thank you Mr. Loving.

 

[poweRob]

Their blood is not white and neither is anyone else's. God made of one blood all nations of the earth and God has no issue with skin color. Too bad more people are not in agreement with God about that.

Thats nice. You are the one who brought race into it with "the blacks" and "the browns". Perhaps you should take that up with "God" then?

 

[poweRob]

That's more than a claim. That's a verified fact.



So if this is real it's evidence of victimhood? Interesting since it's real.

Yet you cannot verify that "fact."

 

[phattonez]

The Holy Roman Empire was an incoherent mess famously described as not holy, not Roman and not an empire.

So, like I said, you wanted America Balkanized into ethic pockets which place local identity before being American.

There's a reason people in Germany got fed up with the HRE long before it dissolved.

It got dissolved by Napoleon. As a government it lasted nearly 900 years. Sounds pretty good to me.

 

[phattonez]

Wow, you dug up a meaningless graph.

Yeah, I'm sure sociologists like Robert Putnam would agree with you that social trust is meaningless. :roll:

Too bad for you, you were born into a diverse country and you can't handle it because you are terrified you will lose your white privilege and will have to settle for being equal.

But what we discovered in this research, somewhat to our surprise, was that in the short run the more ethnically diverse the neighborhood you live in, the more you - every - all of us tend to hunker down, to pull in. The more diverse - and when I say all of us, I mean all of us. I mean blacks and whites and Asians and Latinos, all of us. The more diverse the group around us, ethnically, in our neighborhood, the less we trust anybody, including people who look like us. Whites trust whites less. Blacks trust blacks less, in more diverse settings.

And this is from a liberal who actually is in favor of diversity. The facts are clear.

 

[beefheart]

Again, you can't handle that there are other people out there that aren't you.

Too damned bad, you are going to go through life being angry and defensive, for no good reason.

Because having lower social trust is something everyone should want!

You are always looking for some kind of excuse to try to legitimize your white nationalist views.

You mean you actually want a high trust community? EVILLLLLLLLL.
