Richard Benjamin, Salon, September 11, 2009
When he called the president a liar, Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., apparently “forgot” he wasn’t at one of those rowdy town halls.
Besides the show of disrespect, and the fact that he was wrong, the legislator’s comments expose a virulent racism and paranoia against undocumented workers. As we enter Hispanic Heritage Month, America would do well to examine the legislator’s political paranoia instead of rehashing his churlish, attention-seeking outburst. The legislator’s behavior is uncommon, but his attitude is not.
As members of Congress discussed healthcare reform with their constituents over the recent recess, many faced repeated, heated charges that the reform would stick “American taxpayers”—as if undocumented workers don’t pay consumption taxes!—with the healthcare bills of illegal immigrants. If the swine flu weren’t enough to stigmatize Latino immigrants, now there’s the healthcare debate.
How did racism and xenophobia become so deeply enmeshed in this debate?
{snip}
Race—that is, 30 years of government-supported desegregation and the sharp increase of brown immigration—is not incidental to the public’s cynicism, disconnection and unwillingness to support the public sector, meaning the goods, services and places that belong to “we the people.” That’s especially true when we talk about healthcare.
Eduardo Porter, a financial journalist and editorial board member of the New York Times, has documented how “racial and ethnic diversity undermine support for public investment in social welfare. For all the appeal of America’s melting pot, the country’s diverse ethnic mix is one main reason for entrenched opposition to public spending on the public good.”
Moreover, two Harvard economists have correlated diversity with public spending in Western Europe and the United States. The economists demonstrated that half the social-spending gap between the two areas was due to the United States’ more varied racial and ethnic mix. (The other half was due largely to the stronger left-wing parties in Western Europe.)
{snip}
Put bluntly, it is not a coincidence that America’s love affair with all-things private—gated communities, private roads, private parks, private schools, private playgrounds, private hospitals—heated up during the 1950s as the federal government sought to integrate the nation.
As the U.S. government began helping everyday Americans at unprecedented levels from FDR’s New Deal on, immigration has become all the more contentious. Immigration broils as an issue precisely as this nation faces budget deficits and potential cuts in Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, the state university systems and so on. {snip}
{snip} As the president and America debate a large, necessary overhaul of the public sector, expect more xenophobic outbursts like Wilson’s.
Tea baggers rail against social programs that are allegedly squandered on “illegal aliens.” The Birther movement rails against a supposedly Muslim president. Healthcare reform town halls combust over “government dependence.” Republicans like Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., push a boycott of the 2010 Census, fretting that immigrants and minorities will be overcounted.
{snip}
We must understand Wilson’s outburst by exposing its past and future context—including what I call “The White People Deadline,” 2042. And then we must move the healthcare debate forward.

Comments
The author of this blatant article implies that white people who are concerned about the changing demographics of our nation are somehow irrational haters. But obviously the author is unaware of the damage and societal decline due to diversity.
Let’s take a look at Los Angeles, by far one of the most diverse cities in our nation. A search on google for the high school drop-out rate in Los Angeles would reveal that 1/3rd quit school. This has detrimental implications for the future, because there will be such a large pool of unskilled workers making only minimum wage and probably on welfare.
Personally, I don’t want to see all of America’s cities become like Los Angeles, which is what will happen when blacks and Hispanics become the majority. That does not make me a hater.
Newsflash, Richard Benjamin who writes for George Soros magazine: Joe Wilson isn’t a Vermont politician. I hope Benjamin sends a copy of this article to every white adult in Wilson’s district, that way he’ll get 99% of the white vote every time he runs.
Reminds me of a line from “Hoosiers”. It`s where Gene Hackman irritates an old coach wanna be with his training techniques. The man says, “Mister there`s two kinds of crazy. Ones a guy who gets drunk, runs naked out into snow and howls at the moon. The second`s a guy who does the same thing in my living room.” And that pretty much describes the immigration debate… if you ask me.
It is not the government’s job to integrate the nation. Nor do any groups have an entitlement to immigrate here. The government’s responsiblity is to ensure that all groups are treated equally under the law. And that responsibility has been carried out. Imposing low cost housing and school busing on the nation is far beyond what the government’s involvement on the public should be. Determining what groups and how many immigrate to this country is within the government’s realm of responsibility. You take in those who would most benefit the nation. I am sick and tired of the reasoning that everything which is not specifically done to enhance the positions of minorities in this counrty is racist.
I pity the poor, crazy Salon writers.
“a virulent racism and paranoia against undocumented workers”
Illegal immigrants are not always workers (example: children), and most probably ARE documented - just not with documents that allow residency in the US.
“Paranoia” is an irrational fear. There is nothing irrational about the fear of being overrun by another people.
“The legislator’s behavior is uncommon”
Wrong again. Shouting out in protest has long been very common - for liberals. But we see how they react when the shoe is on the other foot.
“How did racism and xenophobia become so deeply enmeshed in this debate?”
Uh - because writers like you bring those words into it. Duh.
“expect more xenophobic outbursts like Wilson’s”
You mean when he shouted “You lie!”
But Obama WAS lying. Doesn’t the writer want to discuss that little fact?
Eduardo Porter, a financial journalist and editorial board member of the New York Times, has documented how “racial and ethnic diversity undermine support for public investment in social welfare. For all the appeal of America’s melting pot, the country’s diverse ethnic mix is one main reason for entrenched opposition to public spending on the public good.”
One wonders if the taxes of those “diverse” areas can support such massive public spending
Put bluntly, it is not a coincidence that America’s love affair with all-things private—gated communities, private roads, private parks, private schools, private playgrounds, private hospitals—heated up during the 1950s as the federal government sought to integrate the nation.
And “put bluntly”, it is not a coincidence that whites supporting the above are among the most adamant, fervent advocates and defenders of “diversity” and “multiculturalism” (Does Mr. Benjamin know why the children of the late Ted Kennedy and his pro-integration political allies swiftly removed their children from the soon-to-be-‘enriched’ public schools into 97% white private schools when integration was achieved?).
“The legislator’s behavior is uncommon, but his attitude is not.”—R. Benjamin
You conflated it Mr. Benjamin. The behavior is common enough and Wilson’s attitude is becoming increasingly common as the Obama administration continues. Where was the outrage as Bush was booed at his 2005 State of The Union address?

You may ask, as I did, “Who is this dim bulb Richard Benjamin, and who the “*%^ is he to call me racist and a liar?” Do a little research, and you find he is an affirmative action Angry Black Male. He goes by the hip name of Rich instead of Richard, and he has a book coming out soon called “Searching for Whitopia: An Improbable Journey Into the Heart of White America”. I really think that’s all you need to know. I am sure you’ll see him pimped by the MSM and the New York Times. Maybe even on Oprah. Who knows how far the Angry Black Male routine can take him? Heck man, maybe to the presidency?
Its not just “racism”, its just even with the best of intentions, a social welfare state simply does not work with a large thirdworld population. For example the New York Time’s had an article which was their single most popular article online this week, which claimed the entire reason why US medical care is roughly twice is expensive as in Europe and other industrialized areas, is nearly entirely explained by the US’s horrific obesity rate rather than supposedly ineffective capitalist system.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/10/opinion/10pollan.html?_r=1&em
While whites are by no means blameless, as pointed out in a recent article posted on this site, blacks have roughly double the obesity rates as white and the healthcare crises would not nearly be as big as a financial catastrophe it currently is, without the bulbous round black and hispanics eating little else besides fast food 365 days a year.
The massive costs of healthcare then causes disastrous reverberations throughout society, not only make healthcare enormously expensive, but also causes massive unemployment and wage stagnation due to the high costs shouldered by employers who do provide healthcare benefits, not least of all state and local governments which are forced into financial collapse as a result of their public sector unions sucking the coffers dry as in California.
I was a socialist as a youth and would very much like to still support a social welfare state, yet this is simply not possible in a society where those people with sense of dignity and honor and who are willing to shoulder their share of the load are a minority, and the shirkers are a majority.
You know, I don’t care if they’re green-blooded, pointy-eared Vulcans. Their race has the least to do with anything. What DOES matter is a), they’re ILLEGALLY HERE. That makes them criminals. b) their culture, which means their behavior, their language (which is not our language), c) their attitude, and d), our government is bending over backwards to cater to them while they stab the tax paying citizens who subsidize them in the back. The white American guilt trip ploy doesn’t phase me in the least anymore.
I’ve been trying to call Congressman Wilson’s office since his outburst during the President’s speech with no luck. His web site is down and all the phones have been busy. I finally got the voice mail and left a message applauding him for calling a spade a spade in some rather un-pc terms.
“We must understand Wilson’s outburst by exposing its past and future context—including what I call “The White People Deadline,” 2042. And then we must move the healthcare debate forward.”
We need to get over this false notion that Whites will become a minority in 2042 because it will happen alot sooner. The Census Bureau does not have a category for European-Americans, only “Non-Hispanic White” which includes Arabs and other Middle Easterners. That puts our numbers at around 60 percent of the population. At best we’re talking about a little more than 20 years from now.
Racism? Xenophobia? Perhaps we misunderstood you, Mr. Benjamin. Americans call it patriotism and love of country! Before you begin the leftist nonsense you’re spouting, how about checking figures on the price American taxpayers are burdened with from illegal aliens. No matter how much “comsumption” tax illegal aliens pay, it will never come near what they consume. Do you really want to fill this country with uneducated people whose mindset is one of generational dependence on welfare, the increased crime rate, the skyrockting teen birth rate and the bilingual morass we’ve found ourselves in? If so, I suggest you’ll find it in Mexico. The rest of us want to stay right here in our own country without the invasion from the south.
“rowdy townhall meetings.Besides the show of disrespect, and the fact that he was wrong,”
Oh please, rowdy? Just try having a more conservative person speaka at any university etc. They are booed and heckled to the point they can’t speak.
“as if undocumented workers don’t pay consumption taxes!”
Illegals and their anchor babies take far more than they contribute in taxes ie. being in jail, schooling, healthcare. Why is California broke?
“How did racism and xenophobia become so deeply enmeshed in this debate?”
Racism and xenophobia are tired old lies used to shut up legitamate debate.
Rep. Joe Wilson and other Republicans tried to pass an amendment to the health care bill that would require that recipients’ legal residency be established. It was rejected by the Democrats. Clearly, taxpayer funded health care will go to illegal immigrants (it already does) so Obama was indeed lying.
Eduardo Porter, a financial journalist and editorial board member of the New York Times, has documented how “racial and ethnic diversity undermine support for public investment in social welfare.”
There is some truth to this. We whites are tired of paying for our dispossession. We are fed up with paying for the illegitimate children of blacks and Hispanics. We’ve had enough of Hispanics who don’t pay enough taxes to educate one child but who put eight kids in our public schools.
I am no fan of socialism generally, but the only cases where it has even a chance of working are in ethnically homogeneous nations, where the citizens regard themselves as one people, and are willing to make sacrifices for others they see as much like themselves. The United States has always been too racially diversified for socialism to work here. As it becomes more diverse the probability of socialism being voted in increases while the probability of socialism succeeding decreases. For blacks and Hispanics socialism is a way to take money from white people and give it to themselves. It is the white people who are called wicked if they express opposition to this.
The author is fully aware of the damage done by diversity, especially when the diversity is centered on non European, non white non Christian groups, especially those with bulk intellects lower, or cultures most antagonistic to ours.
These kind of authors;thinkers; are in agreement with the damage done. There was a time they were called Communists. I just call them traitors.
I have two comments:
1. Forget about the illegals themselves. Almost all the anchor babies receive Medicaid. I do phone surveys now for a living and I speak Spanish, so I know.
2. Some years ago when I worked in the pharmaceutical industry as a clinical trials monitor I had a site in Houston. When I asked the study coordinator about recruitment for our study through the ER (it was a gastroenterology study) he said it was very difficult because most of them were coming in for gunshot wounds, stabbing, etc. I noticed as we walked through the ER waiting room that almost everyone was speaking Spanish.
To top it off ,when I went upstairs to review the records of the few patients they had,I had a big hassle making copies of documents I needed to retrieve and send back to the sponsor. I had to really beg because they were so low on resources you had to get special permission to use the copier and the paper.
As I drove out of Houston over to Biloxi, MS, almost all the radio stations were in Spanish, not English.
That trip was a real eye-opener.
While it’s sad that Mr. Wilson sullied the reputation of whites by acting in a boorish manner (and giving our enemies ammunition against us), we all know that when they tell us illegals won’t have access to health care, we know they’re lying.
I said it yesterday. Not only will they be covered, they will get free care by virtue of being poor, ‘at risk’, and my favorite justification for doling out money, ‘under served’.
“The White People’s Deadline,” 2042. Oh my, that’s a great term. I wish whites were allowed to openly use phrases like that. It could be a great rallying cry. As it is, only leftists like this Richard Benjamin may use such terms, to snidely bandy them about and use them as a club while whites cover their heads and shrink away in fear and shame. All the while the leftists like this laugh and sneer at the cowardice of whites. It is indeed “The White People’s Deadline,” with emphasis on the word DEAD.
“racial and ethnic diversity undermine support for public investment in social welfare. For all the appeal of America’s melting pot, the country’s diverse ethnic mix is one main reason for entrenched opposition to public spending on the public good.”
What this ‘master of the obvious’ says is true. The more diverse a society, the less a feeling of community exists. People feel most comfortable and altruistic with those most genetically and/or culturally like themselves.
About 10 years ago when I was taking some classes at a local univeristy, I stumbled upon a sociololgy journal article about ethnicity and conflict in the former Yugoslavia. The authors cited a long term series of surveys from several years before the 1992-1995 civil war until the very eve of the war. The surveys accurately predicted which Yugoslav republics would explode into conflict. Very homogenous provinces, like Slovenia, had little conflict prior to the war, and quickly won their independence at the very beginning. The more diverse republics like Croatia and Bosnia erupted into long term conflicts because no group had an overwhelming majority. The authors pointed out that once a minority reaches about 25-33% of the populace, they will begin to assert themselves at the expense of the majority. The majority group will be forced to defend themselves in order to insure their survival. Croatia had a worse time then Slovenia, but in many respects due to the arms embargo, but they did finally bring their war to a close, Bosnia had the biggest mess because of the balance in size of the Muslim, Serb, and Croat populations.
And these were all white people.
Hispanic Heritage Month = racism and xenophobia
“as if undocumented workers don’t pay consumption taxes!—”
Let’s abolish the income tax and see how just how far those “consumption taxes” will go. When we run out of money, we’ll send you the bill, Mr. Richardson.
It’s not the disrespect angle that worries me but the fact that Congressman Wilson’s outburst will “galvanize” (the MSM seem to love that word) the democrats against us. Of course, we would have faced considerable opposition from them at any rate. So, Joe told the truth, and I applaud that. I would reelect Joe Wilson ten times over!!!! Liberals have such a double-standard regarding outbursts and name-calling. I well recall watching the video “Jared Taylor vs. Air America Lefty” (Young Turks)linked on this page and getting red-faced with anger when that loudmouth referred to Mr. Taylor (at the very end of the video) as an “idiot.” Joe told the truth; let the lefties get over it. Let them learn to take a dose of their own medicine.
I came across this article in several locations. Can’t you just feel, the visceral hatred for white society in the authors writing.
“….and the sharp increase of brown immigration”(he doesn’t mention most of it being illegal)
“How did racism and xenophobia become so deeply enmeshed in this debate.” (No comrade Benjamin, Americans don’t want their taxes and resources going to people who have no business even being here against U.S. Law, in fact, Comrade Benjamin)
“If the swine flu weren’t enough to stigmatize “latino immigrants”……(Illegal aliens Comrade Benjamin, because the swine flu broke out in Mexico, would you rather have had Americans close their eyes and open the border to show they aren’t “racist” during the swine flu outbreak?)
I can’t go on, there are objective gems of reporting like this all through comrade Benjamins article.
“…what I call ‘The White People Deadline,’ 2042.” (When whites will become a minority in the U.S.).
Just keep talking about that, Mr. Benjamin, just keep talking about that until everyone is aware of it.
The comment section on this Salon article is inspiring. Critics of the article expressing an anti-illegal immigration point of view are clearly outnumbering those who agree with the author. Good to see.
Poster # 20….why is it “sad” that Mr. Wilson acted in such a boorish manner and “sullied” the reputation of Whites, then in the next breath you say, “we know they are lying”?
It wasn’t sad or boorish and he did not sully White’s reputation. He sullied Obama’s and the leftists reputation as far as I can tell by calling them liars, which they are. I suppose to you that as long as Whites remain silent and act “civil” then we will take our country back? How has that worked out for you or us?
If you will listen to the tape of Obama’a statement that “and another mistake is that this healthcare reform will support undocumented illegals” you can hear the silence and the incredidulity in the crowd. Clearly no one not even Obama’s supporters believed him. Mr. Wilson just put it in honest terms.
The murmers among the senate were telling and it was easy to see that his speech had crossed a bridge too far.
“We need to get over this false notion that Whites will become a minority in 2042 because it will happen alot sooner”
Back in the early 1970’s the newspaper writer Jack Mabley had said the event will occur by 2035. He had some inside info we don’t have? And that figure now bandied about of 2042 was first 2050. All those figures assume the rates of change will be more or less constant from what they are now. That is not realistic. The rate of change will accelerate markedly in the near future if all the current illegals are given amnesty!
Most of the commenters here in this thread claim that race isn’t the issue and that the real issue is economics. I suspect that you folks are trying to prove that you are not racist. You have conceded way too much to people who hate your very existence. People who want to brring about your race-replacement within the borders of America as soon a possible. Tactically this is very foolish.
The very people who are calling you a racist are very open their racail preference for America and it doesn’t nclude Native Born Whie Americans. Why do you folks let them get away with this?
You should be accusing them of being racist for wanting to bring about the rapid race-replacement of the majority Native Born White America population.
REading some of the comments in this thread I get the impression that some of you would go along with the race-replacement of Native Born White Americans if it is done through LEGAL immigration. White Nationlaist are opposed to non-white LEGAL immigration
To say that Wilson was wrong about Obama being a liar depends on one’s definition of a liar.
When I was studying Moral Theology, one of the first things I learned was that a half truth is a whole lie. Since Obama deals mainly with half truths, he is very much a liar.
I could care less what these racist non-white people say. I have no doubt of the racist ambitions of african people here. They commit massive crimes against non-black people and kill Mexicans and Asian American and Arabs in addition to the many many whites who have been abused. Whites need to have more children and need to stop immigration and welfare. Welfare enslaves working people and that means it enslaves us!
Keep up the good fight. And let us never forget how much the black man hates us and how much injustice WE white people do against ourselves. Another example is shown below.
http://www.ohio.com/news/50172282.html
Jupiter is right. Some of you need to get over this fear of being called racisss, especially since the people calling you this are racist themselves. Another thing that annoys me is how Whites use blacks or some other minority as a proxy to speak for them and their issues. This is a marxist tactic that says Whites are powerless and only colored people can speak for them. If you can’t stand up for yourselves you deserve to go the way of the dinosaur.
Somebody must agree with Mr. Wilson’s outlook. It seems that since his outburst of truth, his PAC has raised over $750,000 to support his re-election.

Joe Wilson has hit the MARs that are already making noise, directly in the head.

I disagree. I’m glad Wilson was rude, because it brought lots of attention to an important aspect of the “health care reform” debate. Obviously we don’t want to internalize the mindless, reflexive rudeness of the left (which R. Benjamin illustrates when he refers to tax protestors as “tea baggers”), but at the right time and place, rudeness can be very effective. Joe Wilson now seems to be a favored hate-target of leftists. It isn’t because he was “rude,” it was because he was effectively rude.
From the article:
“How did racism and xenophobia become so deeply enmeshed in this debate?”
Because of people like you; that’s how. I appreciate you asking, though.
Also, why does this idiot refer to illegal aliens as “undocumented workers?” Is it impossible for illegal aliens to be unemployed? What if there’s a family of illegal aliens with a six-month-old baby, is the baby an undocumented worker?
I like this concept of “The White People Deadline.” Tell this over and over to your White Liberal friends. Get them to understand that White society is going to be swamped with brown people.
Keep hammering away the point that they should go live among the non-Whites to prove their belief in equality. Most will refuse to do so for whatever reason.
(The idea is to get them thinking about being a real minority in a real world. A world with cruelty and hatred that will come back to haunt them too.)
Ask them “If you like the thought of living in a majority non-White society so much why don’t you move to such a place right now?” Wait for whatever excuse they give, then suggest to them that what they really believe is in revenge against other White people than themselves. (This is why they refuse to move to a majority non-White society but praise any story of Whites becomming a minority.)
Don’t be suprised if they refuse to admit their anti-White bias. Their actions will tell you the truth that their words will not.
Lot’s of fear in this article. Fear that large segments of White America may have finally begun to realize that their future has been placed in the crosshairs. The racial displacement of White America through mass immigration isn’t an accident, it’s not evolution. It’s ideology. It’s deliberate. And as long as Whites continue to elect non-Whites to govern them, be it left or right, they’ll only accelerate their own demise.
The problems our country is facing are enormous. Soon, much sooner than we would like, the Industrious East will overtake us. I am not a defeatist, and I only want the best for the Americans written about by Wilmot Robertson, but economics has its own logic and it points away from us. I recall twenty years ago I talked with a classmate who was studying pharmaceutics, how it was disturbing to note that the Eastern bloc was turning out more scientific papers than ourselves, or the Europeans. That was a long time ago. The situation has gotten worse, and the decline is accelerating. The immigrants we are importing are simply not up to the job.
The East has no, repeat no, sympathy for our racial “dilemma” in Gunnar Myrdal’s phrase; they don’t care because they themselves are profoundly ethnocentric and could give a rip if we aren’t. They laugh at our discomfort, at our guilt, but are awfully glad we buy their products, and are happy to lend us vast quantities of money. Our concern about racial matters, hope and change and all of it, is an errand to nowhere. While our so-called leaders primp and doodle, our competitors plan and act and plan some more.
Boy does it feel like Nero is in charge.
They only thing wrong with Mr. Wilson’s outburst is that the rest of congress didn’t stand up with him, to a man. Americans have had the concept of “being nice” shoved into their heads so long we have turned into a bunch of wimps. The Founders would have been pround of Joe.
The wimpishness (is that a word?) has extended into our foreign policy so much the rest of the world thinks we are cowards, and we are. Congress fumes and frets over water-boarding, and our enemies think nothing of chopping off heads. It is way past time to become our white forefathers. Can you even imagine the average Wallie world shopper going west in a covered wagon? Or even less in a ship cruising unknown waters with only sail power and no maps.
On second thought, we deserve Obeyme.
President Obama IS a liar!
He lies about everything, from American military involvement in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Palestine, he lied about the stimulus packages and “bailouts” and he lies about the content of Health care legislative bills, energy policy, and of course, race relations and affirmative action.
He was however, the speaker at the time, at the invitation of Congress, and Congressman Wilson’s interruption was contemptible!
Having said this, Congressman Wilson’s behavior was called for, and it was not helpful in taking our country back.
White people are supposed to be the more civilized people! This means (at the very least) having good manners. Heckling the President—or any other speaker—merely creates ill will and such bad manners create resentment against the heckler and his opinion; they NEVER advances acceptance of our point of view. This point is even more important when one considers that Congressman Wilson—along with a growing number of critics of Obama—will have every chance to make themselves heard in the near future.
Congressman Wilson apologized. This apology was accepted by President Obama. End of story! Let us move on…
We all have a much more important job ahead of us if we are to have a country left—whether Obama is a liar or not—and we don’t have much time in which to do it!
PEACE AND FREEDOM!!

#31 Jupiter asks, “Why do you folks let them get away with this?”
… (AND) “Reading some of the comments in this thread I get the impression that some of you would go along with race-replacement of Native Born White Americans if it is done though LEGAL immigration.”
Yes, it seems that way with some. However, Jupiter, you are way ahead of yourself. You are fighting shadows when you talk of serious things like “race replacement”, and other such heavy topics.
Allow me to humbly explain my way of looking at this stuff. First of all, most whites in America, ranging from the very old to the very young, HAVEN’T GOT THE SLIGHTEST CLUE AS TO THEIR HISTORICAL PLACE IN THE U.S. They are literally “UNCONSCIOUS”, to repeat, “UNCONSCIOUS”, of their history, their European roots, or their common culture with other European/Americans.
Friend, you first have to have some degree of awareness and connectedness to the very country and people that are like you to even CARE about the heavy concepts you bring up. You have to see some value and worth in a common heritage, a common language,etc. While Black Americans became very interested about these things when Alex Haley published roots( his historical accuracy doen’t concern this argument)many White Americans just applauded and watched the TV series, the whole point of which went right over their heads as far as their own racial group was concerned.
I am telling you that most whites are clueless about the most basic things concerning their heritage and history in this nation. You are expecting them to eat steak, when all they are capable of digesting is mothers milk. This is NOT to make light of your concerns, on the contrary,it is to highlight them, by using comparison and contrast.
Here is a test to illuminate the validity of much of what I’ve said. Go to the average white American on the street and ask them questions like, “What religion did your ancestors practice?” “Do you know the parts of the U.S. that are the most educated?” “Where in the U.S.is polka music still popular?” Are there a lot of Polish people in Chicago? What kind of name is Budweiser, or Coors? Did slaves build America? Did white people from Europe build America? You get the idea. Now, just listen to the answers and then you will get the gist of where millions of white Americans are, when it comes to any consciousness of their very place or history in this nation. White Americans, are still crawling and can’t be expected to run, not in the mental state most are in. I’m not even including those lost causes who are irreparably damaged by white hating liberals.

It’s worse than that. It demonstrates that we need the permission of some non-white minority to think what we think. As for me, I don’t need anybody’s permission to think what I think. I don’t check in my worldview with a member of a group of people that don’t like me, even if they are the occasional non-radical black or “Uncle Tom,” for the lack of a better phrase.
#43 David K. Meller, I have to disagree with you about civility in Congress. What Congress has been doing to the American citzienry, involving illegal immigration,as well as Wall Street bailouts and other abominations, is NOT CIVIL. What is wrong with a little heated emotion? I have watched many of Englands politicians, throwing things and yelling names at each other, when there is disagreement on a vital issue. I wouldn’t want it to become a habit in the U.S., but lets be honest, Wilsons outburst caused the Main Stream News Media to address the problem of illegal immigration, and health care. Had Obama been allowed to smoothly ramble on, illegal aliens receiving taxpayer funded health care would never have come to light.
Simple question for Mr. Benjamin and the open-borders crowd: if Hispanic immigration is so wonderful; their culture so rich; the people so noble then explain the train wreck that is Latin America.
When Mr Benjamin refers to (I’m going to be polite and not say “exults over”) the Deadline of 2042, and cites all the relevant demographic projections, what he fails to mention is these numbers - most certainly including the current %-of-population figures - are not arrived at organically but artificially; the result of careful, deliberate, long-range social engineering . (Or, more precisely, “re-engineering”.)
In other words, “white deadlines” aren’t born - at least, not in nations traditionally 90% white, they’re not - they’re made. Nor has this been merely a matter of relaxed immigration restrictions, either. First came the (still ongoing) process of relentlessly propagandizing guilt, shame and self-loathing into the ethnic majority via Gramscian dominoes: first the media, then academia, and finally and fatally, through government itself. Until you reach the sad pass we’ve recently arrived at, where every group may openly declare group interests but the one most vital to civilization.
As it now stands, whiteness can only be referred to as an individual characteristic (i.e., “I am white”), and then preferably sheepishly; as a group characteristic (“we are white”), only pejoratively.
You’ve got to admit it: compared to us, the social engineering of Stalin and Mao was amateur hour. And their intent was merely to enslave their kinsmen, not replace them!
Whiteness
There’s a time and a place for politeness-that time has passed. Now it is a time for truth. And soon it may be a time to cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war. Survival is at stake-politeness is for time of peace. Some advanced civilizations combined the two-the result being chivalry. But we’re not there anymore, and we’re fighting people of another mindset-it’s not going to be pretty. Chivalry is almost always intra-cultural not inter-cultural.
Also the age of ideology is over. Are we threatened economically by East? Yes, it will be a serious issue is we survive! Once we have that taken care of, we’ll be so clear that the answer is obvious: the tariff. It helped build our nation and it can help rebuild it. The people against it are the same ones who support outsourcing of jobs and insourcing of workers. They have no credibility; they should be working as wash room attendants and shoe shine boys.
“If you will listen to the tape of Obama’a statement that “and another mistake is that this healthcare reform will support undocumented illegals” you can hear the silence and the incredidulity in the crowd. Clearly no one not even Obama’s supporters believed him.”

I hear shades of Ted Kennedy assuring the American people that the new immigration bill will have NO effect whatsoever upon the overall population make up of this country. Deja vu!
They are liers all.
The significance of Mr. Wilson’s action is that it showed courage. Courage! If our people were ever able to rediscover their collective spine it would mean the end of the Left’s ideological hegemony on this continent.
If it were just a simple matter of rudeness no one in the media would have cared.
Just heard Rep. Wilson on TV. Pelosi and others have demanded that he apologize from the House Floor. His answer? “I’ve already apologized to the President and he accepted. I’m not going to apologize again.” Good going, Joe. Stand your ground!
2052 or even 42 are lies. The country as is cannot be more than 50% White now. The rates of miscegenation, particularly among our White women, are sky high. We need to stop denying this and saying “most White women prefer men of their own race.” It’s simply not true. The country will be minority White in 10 years, and by 2052 I don’t think any more than 20-25% of the population will be pure-blood European stock. Look around you, people. Look into a NW homeland movement NOW or return to your ancestral homelands. There is absolutely no time to wait anymore.
I didn’t watch Obama’s brainwashing session, er, speech, but couldn’t avoid excerpts of it on the news. What jumped out at me the first instant was in a sea of dark, dignified clothing, there was Ms. Pelosi, as part of the Democratic triangle on screen standing out in a bright red suit, calculated to draw the eye directly to her. That was no accident. But her expression at the outburst was priceless. She could have spit nails.
The war against us started a long time ago, only now with the election of Obama some people see it and most don’t.
Our chances are slim in the long run, it looks like an apocaliptic movie.
True Resistance, that was one of the greatest posts I’ve ever seen. All the ultraliberal white people I know, those who prattle on about how wonderful diversity and multiculturalism are, without exception they all live in lily-white neighborhoods. It’s not them and their children they want to “experience the joys of diversity.” It’s OTHER whites, and THEIR kids.
Even if - EVEN IF - the new law prohibits this “free” health care for illegals, a US court of the type that has been stacked for decades with activist judges will merely declare the provision “unconstitutional”, as if the US Constitution contains any lines guaranteeing income-tax funded medical care for criminal alien invaders.
The “we pay consumption taxes” excuse is quite amusing, as these are almost entirely city and state sales taxes, which will contribute nothing whatever to a federally-funded medical program. Whoever came up with that one is missing his true calling as a writer for The Onion.
Two points.
(1) The “legal” “illegal” distinction, while important, is woefully inadequate. The U.S. born children of the illegal aliens are all United States citizens. And because their parents usually have no offical income or assets, they are entitled to all of the Federal and State benefits available. Citizens or not, these anchor babies aren’t any more American than their parents.
(2) I actually agree with the thrust of the authors post: diversity stifles cooperation. And I do think white Americans are more resistant to social welfare programs because the resources will overwhelmingly be consumed by non-whites whose brethren haven’t contributed in proportionately. But whereas the author undoubtedly condemns this attitude as a problem for whites to “overcome”, I see it as an inescapable reality of life. Diversity stifles cooperation and leaves society worse off. The answer isn’t more brainwashing, it’s less diversity.
Simple question for Mr. Benjamin and the open-borders crowd: if Hispanic immigration is so wonderful; their culture so rich; the people so noble then explain the train wreck that is Latin America.
Better yet, why do they all want to come here?
The guy who wrote this article is black? Perhaps he should ask some of his fellow non-privileged blacks what they think about the hispanization of the United States.
The “Author” of this is a black man who wrote a book called Whitopia. Apparrently it is of interest to black people that there are places white people want to live that doesnt include dark people. Its also a place were there is less crime, rape, assaults, stealing, illegitimacy, drop out rates and productivity is pretty high. Help from a neighbor much more likeley then in the city. And why is this upsetting to the blacks. They keep saying that these are the cries of a white majority shrinking and that whites cant stand the future. The laugh is that blacks think that a future white blacks as the majority is going to be as prosperous. Look at Haiti. Yet they are so dumb the sex like frenzy of excitment about whitey losing, has them jumping off a cliff into the dark. Have fun.

Instead of posting emotional stuff like this, bashing your own women, and getting everyone one on here down and pessimistic based on false and shallow emotions, why don’t you take time to look at facts? The last time I looked at the Census statistics, it is still under 3% of white people who are marrying outside their race (male and female). In the area I live in, most of the miscegenation I see involves white males!
But the one part of your post I do agree with is that maybe it really is best for people like you to flee now. That way the rest of us can carry on and do what needs to be done to preserve our people and heritage.
I attended church Sunday as a guest of close friends in a smallish, affluent seacoast New England town.
My friends are diehard leftists, the church is socially progressive - and 100 WHITE (actually, close to 90% BLONDE).
They see no contradiction to raving about the rights of the 3rd world, blacks, minorities, etc., but living in a place where blacks are virtually unknown & hispanics still (believe it or not!) rare.
This is typical of progressive whites, who avoid blacks & hispanics like the plague (by living in places where there are NONE) but moan about the lack of minorities in their towns as though it were a grave danger to the community.
we have to just keep confronting such people with the utter insanity of these contradictions.
They do get upset (because the truth is scary), but in the long run, they will start to wake up to white minority staus, to the incredibly fragile status of European life in an asian and black etc. world.
Ps.: I live in Europe and my Euro friends are having children, so maybe there is hope.
Most euoros hate the muslim invasion as much as we hate the ghetto culture that has ravaged the US, but there is so much censorship this comes out only in private conversation.

—Yeah, okay, Courtney, great idea. As the melting pot becomes more and more, well, melted, it’s going to be harder and harder to tell who is White and who isn’t and harder and harder to keep your daughters or sons away from, say, the Indian-“American” that watches too much porn and thinks White women are the standard for who he should be dating. I already know two well educated men, one black and the other Afghani, that pretty much take Aryan women as the standard. They don’t even consider dating non-Whites. Luckily, they haven’t been so lucky, only shacking up with non-Whites in college, praise the Lord. The White women I’ve been with have all been racially aware, I imagine. In 10 or 20 years we’re going to be seeing A LOT more horny quadroons and octoroons running around, and wouldn’t it be a shame if your granddaughter was a genetic throwback and popped out black as coal and with a red afro and an IQ to boot. Come on, now. The idea is for total homogeneity in the face of global extinction. If you want to risk that living in a society of pseudo-Whites with low IQs and a society filled to the brim with minorities to whom the White woman is seen as the most beautiful exotic thing around, I’m sure you would see the problem with being complacent. Get with the program. It’s White Nationalism, not White “It’s-all-good”-ism.
I’ll tell you, I live in New York City, and whenever I open up a newspaper or turn on the news, I actually feel SURPRISED to see a White woman with a White child. For example, I’m looking at a picture right now in the Times with tennis player Kim Clijsters. She has a beautiful blonde child. Not a mulatto. Why do I feel surprised? You tell me. Conditioning, or truth?
Yea, right, the West is in no danger and there’s no reason to be emotional.

Bon voyage Conrad, you can go without me and my family because we’re staying and taking back our country. Moving to a small geographic area in this nation would only make us even more vulnerable. The miscegenation fad is greatly exaggerated by the media. You see it on TV and when you see one in real life it reinforces the misconception that it’s more common than it really is.

You are right. But they are wrong.
Even if/when whites become a minority, that doesn’t mean that blacks will be the majority. They are in for a rough awakening. The Latins or Asians, whom they look to as their brothers in color, will give them short shrift.
Talk is a necessary precurser to organization. However, we White Nationalists will have to fight a war for our beliefs if we are to do anything more than fade away into the pages of history.
Those who cannot fight should support such an effor in whatever way they can.
The pro-race mixing mainstream media must be circumvented, captured or destroyed.
If the recent march on Washington D.C. is any reflection, we already have over one million activists. They are taking the struggle to the streets. All of us should join such protests where and when we can.
Remember that these protests will not be peaceful forever and prepair accordingly.
The White people of this country are fed up! We all know what happens next.

You seem to be supporting what I just said instead of what you previously said. I don’t see any proof in your post here that most white women are shacking up with blacks etc… Quite the opposite. You are whining about something but yet you have failed to provide me with a reason why you are whining. You are accusing me of not seeing what you are seeing, but you haven’t given me a reason to see how what you are seeing is even a reality.
Blacks have a very non-Western view of reality, one that might be described as “fanciful”. They think saying it makes it so. Perhaps that’s why they have so much trouble running anything, aside from their low IQs.
“Why do I feel surprised? You tell me. Conditioning, or truth?”
You didn’t list “stupidity” as an option.

I live in New York City. Maybe it’s not so much a problem where you live because these types of minorities, (East Indians, Southeast Asians) don’t even EXIST where you live. And don’t even think for a second that White people near you wouldn’t bed down with them if they had the chance.
I just donated $25 dollars to Joe Wilson. I feel good about it.
I cancelled my subscription to Newsweek for telling us that it is so evil that Whites have a race consciousness.
I urge you all to go and do likewise.
“Cancel my subscription to the Newsweek fiction,
Send my credentials to the house of detention,
I’ve got some friends inside.”
And more on the way, if Da Wreck Obama and Holder have their way.

“…he is an affirmative action Angry Black Male. He goes by the hip name of Rich instead of Richard, and he has a book coming out soon called “Searching for Whitopia: An Improbable Journey Into the Heart of White America”. I really think that’s all you need to know…”
Yeah, another Angry Black Male continuing to seek The Great White Bigot while his people are being ethnically cleansed out of LA by violent hispanics whose plans for mexifornia do not include blacks.
According to Jack Cashill:
“…There are five browns in the state (California) for every one black…”
And the demographics of ‘historic’ black areas? According to Zip Skinny:
Compton:
Hispanic/Latino: 67.1%
Black: 29.7%
Watts:
Hispanic/Latino: 69.7%
Black: 38.9%
Blacks are openly attacked by latinos in the prisons and the schools. As for black politicians? They support Open Borders— they’ve sold out their own people to the latinos to keep their seats, but that will change. They are also busy looking for Old Plantation Owners, White Bigots, vestiges of White Racism—even as White numbers continue to dwindle in California and blacks continue to be targeted for removal.
What do they expect a sort of Phyrric victory over Whites? Not that they would understand what that means. Yeah, better to turn a blind eye to the violence against one’s own people and keep seeking out that elusive White Bigot.
I wonder if they still are hoping for a latino-black coalition against Whitey? From the looks of the racial wars around here, that will never happen. When they are locked entirely out of jobs, cleansed from their neighborhoods, their children beaten up at the schools, the welfare handouts denied—will they still be blaming The Man? I would wager YES.

The “white people deadline” has already passed. See this amren article from 2002. http://www.amren.com/ar/2002/01/index.html
Most people do not understand that “white” is a far narrower category than “caucasian”. By 2042 whites should be approx 20-25% of the total population if current trends continue. Furthermore, an unknown number of these “whites” will be high yella mestisos and mulattoes who will lack a full white personality. By the 100th year of the moon landing anniversary whites should be ~10-15% of the total US population. By 2100 I expect the last US whites taking white flight somewhere else or being assimilated into the mestiso category leaving the USA with approximatively 0% whites.
In Obama’s mind, and the minds of his worshippers, he did not lie when he said illegal aliens would not be covered by the health care reforms……BECAUSE……there will not BE ANY illegal aliens, all of them having received AMNESTY and put on a pathway to (dual) citizenship.
If and when AMNESTY is passed by Congress and signed by an eager president, there won’t be any illegal aliens in the US.
“Blacks are openly attacked by latinos in the prisons and the schools. As for black politicians? They support Open Borders— they’ve sold out their own people to the latinos to keep their seats.”

They sound remarkably like white politicians, don’t they? Turns out they’re all political prostitutes and racial sell-outs in service to some other agenda which doesn’t include their own people, (and which they may not even comprehend).
When they are locked entirely out of jobs, cleansed from their neighborhoods, their children beaten up at school, the welfare handouts denied — will they still be blaming The Man? I would wager YES.
Quite likely. But only so long as they continue to be controlled by the Information Masters and the Opinion Shapers. It all depends on the media/academia axis and what it wants. They will call the tune. As usual.
Hi, friends! Conrad makes excellent points. Non-Whites view Whites as a high status people. Many would love to have Whites absorbed into their gene pool to increase their social status, intelligence, looks and creativity. It is a win-win for them, and a lose-lose for us.
We must have our own territory to ensure our survival. The second thing we need to do is teach our children the importance of White genetic survival.
I remember reading months back about a village in Mexico that was established by fleeing Confederate families after the American Civil War. For generations they spoke English and tried to hold onto their White Southern culture. Gradually their children married Mexicans and now there are approximately two people descended from these immigrants that are still 100% White. We must not let that happen to us.
“As it becomes more diverse the probability of socialism being voted in increases while the probability of socialism succeeding decreases.”
Exactly, you’ve pin-pointed the decline of the West in a nutshell. The economic neoliberalism of Reagan and Thatcher could only last as long as whites were in a clear majority. Now whites are becoming a minority there is nothing to stop the takeover by anti-white socialist governments and nothing to stop them failing either.
Unless there is a sea-change in elite opinion within the next ten years, the only options will be to follow a separatist or federalist response.
Conrad sees whats happening when whites become a visible minority. When whites become too few to form their own clique the bulk of them assimilate into the brown majority except for a few diehards. That is primarily why I think the USA will have 0% whites left by 2100. There will be people who call and think of themselves as white, but they will be more like north africans than europeans, both in looks and in mental profile.

I recall reading a book about the Dominican Republic some years ago. It mentioned that there were still some white hold-outs in remote places who remain determined to preserve their whiteness and who refused to inter-marry with the rest of the miscegenated population. They were only a few in numbers and were limited to intermarrying among themselves, often their own cousins. Naturally, there were a lot of genetic defects among them and some of them were very odd looking. Is that to be our fate?
