AOL Time Warner just confirmed what everyone can already sense: Whites are now a minority in at least 1 out of every 10 counties in the United States.
In 2006, there were an estimated 100 million minorities in the U.S., about a third of the country's population. The U.S. Census Bureau projects that, by 2050, minorities will account for more than one half of all U.S. residents. In other words, White people could become the new minority in America well within our lifetimes. Does this revelation give credence to the idea that Whites must act so that they do not become minorities in the countries they founded? That Whites must act so that their posterity can find opportunity as the Founding Fathers envisioned? That Whites must act so that their culture and heritage can survive?
Some will roll their eyes and say that 9 out of 10 counties are still mostly White; others, that immigrants take jobs people do not want. And have great ethnic foods. They may suggest that immigration adds labor muscle that will pay Social Security checks and help the country compete with China pound-for-pound. But future generations of Whites will see things from a different perspective: wondering what could have been.
China has 1.3 billion people, and the Han Chinese constitute about 91.9% of them. They are not going anywhere. By contrast, white, English-speaking European Americans are the majority population in the United States and, as we see, losing ground fast. Plus, they are actually the true global minority; Whites from Europe are just 7% of the world population - and that includes not only Whites in the United States, but in South America, Canada and all of Europe, too!
Put yourself in the shoes of your children; picture a young child shuffling through old articles like this one, well on his way towards understanding that America was once full of people who looked like him, still spoke his language and could easily be distinguished from the Chinese or any other people. Inevitably, the child will come across headlines like "Whites a Minority in One in Ten Counties" and wonder why, when printed, the articles did not provoke a response from his ancestors who read them. Did they not know what the future would be like? Did they not care?
