What I am seeing around me in this country and in the rest of the "white" world is an inabilty or unwillingness to recognize the inevitable future. That inevitable future is that the Western(white) world is going brown.
It is a simple matter of birthrates. White people, because of their overall affluence, are not having anywhere near the number of babies required to perpetuate white majorities. Thus, industry, business, education, and government cannot be supported without immigration. Immigrants, overall, are brown, black or yellow...not white.
For the sake of simplicity,I will use brown; it takes less space than the familiar "people of color".
That brown will be dominant should neither surprise nor worry white America. It is very much in the tradition of this country. The "give us your.." list on the Statue of Liberty calls for it. Earlier white immigrants, rich and poor, came and raised the standard of living to new highs, through hard work and the use of the Capitalist system. To continue the upward movement, it is essential that White America recognize the inevitabilty of the coming change and prepare for it.
How do you prepare for it? By bringing education to new heights for all, by mentoring and supporting those in economic hardship situations, and by becoming genuinely color blind.
The present administration could have helped with this, but it did not. Race, for the first time in decades, has become a negative factor again. We cannot allow that. The future of this nation rests with our continuing to go forward to true color blindness.More on this in my next posting.
