No you are advocating your children's demise. But then you don't care, because you'll be dead by then.
Would you love your own child less because he/she brought forth genetic heritage from your past that wasn't dominant in present generations? Let's pretend you know your family ancestry back to the 1200's. Good. Now, you fall in love and marry a blue eyed blonde man whose mother has brown eyes and auburn hair. Your fourth child has dark eyes, olive skin and a "unique" nose. Do you love him less? This whole entire debate is absurd.

Human beings will continue evolving, and it will happen in such a way so as not to be unusually striking or "alarming". We used to live isolated by race and/or culture. That doesn't exist since the advent of commercial air travel. How you can perceive evolution as "genocide" is maddening.

When I was starting to enter second grade at a new school, my mother walked me into an auditorium filled with children already assigned to their classroom. Suddenly, a voice shouted out above all others. "Look! Look at that little 'Chiminese' girl"! He was pointing my way. I looked around behind me to see this little 'Chiminese' girl. LOL Nope. It was me with the thick dark soup bowl haircut with bangs. I was horrified. My Irish/English Mother later discussed my dismay with my Father's mother.

The summer I was nine, my grandmother with the eyes that were gray, green, or blue depending on attire, whose mother was Cherokee, boarded a Greyhound bus with her three grandchildren (the two who looked very Irish - and me, the "Chiminese" one). She took us to the Smokies in the Carolinas - the home of her mother's people, the land of the Cherokee. We debarked in what seemed to be the middle of nowhere to a forrest of pines in the mountains and then walked a small trail until we reached our destination. There, I saw dozens of children and adults who looked a lot like me -"Chiminese". They quite literally embraced me and welcomed me warmly. I had a glorious day. I never again wondered why I looked different than my siblings with the hazel and light almond eyes, who carried the EXACT same genetic line. Skin color? Eye color? Much ado about nothing.

<quoted text>What is clear is that you didn't come to these threads to discuss the issue of ILLEGAL immigration. We don't discuss Canada often, because there are only an estimated 30,000 illegal Canadians, and most of them cross the border, steal jobs, and then return home in time for dinner. They speak English, blend into the woodwork, are difficult to detect, and don't demand that we supply them with food and lodging. They, too, cheat Americans of opportunity and need to go home or be deported.
If Canadians protested in the street waving the flag of Canada while the cameras rolled, I can assure you they'd get a lot more attention than they do. I don't care what color their skin is if they're illegal. And, Canadians, like Americans, come in myriad hues, just as do Mexicans and other Latinos. That said, most illegals coming in from Latin America via Mexico are illiterate or poorly educated and represent in large measure the indigenous people of Latin America who have the least opportunity and face the most discrimination in their homelands. Waving the Mexican flag and demanding their "rights" while hiding behind bandanas across their face to hide identity, has gotten them a lot more attention than they probably intended - all of it negative.
They'd probably like us all to forget their marches. Obviously, it's not happening. The arrival of millions here illegally, who displace Americans and create a growing underclass of low wage, non tax contributing, and welfare needy people at a time when American workers are under tremendous strain, is where the harm lies. We simply can't afford to amnesty them, regardless of color or creed.
Take the Eugenics discussion over to the Top Stories forums where there's a hater for everyone. Haters on board harm the credibility of those involved in a worthy and significant issue that affects all Americans, and your views stand to derail our efforts. Call yourself a lover of white people. I call you misguided at best.
There you go again with your Trotsky inspired discussion of class warfare. When you concede the discussion to that framed by the second generation communists, they have already won.

I find it sad that in another 50 years or so, all that will be left of the Cherokee is a few high cheek bones and some feather tattoos.

Just curious, do you prefer Native Americans on reservations or something along those lines? You also didn't answer my question about people being judged on merit and instead switched the subject to whites and alleged genocide (you don't really care about alleged genocide or discrimination when it affecxts non whites it seems). Do you find it terrible if a person of Chinese descent gets a job at university? You think that an unqualified white should get such a job instead? You don't understand the concept of merit, only race.

It isn't an Asian problem. No one is flooding Asian countries with non Asians. If I were to say that there is this race problem and the only way to fix it would be to flood every Asian country and only Asian countries with non Asians and demand that those Assimilate and intermarry with those non Asian, how long before you realized that I wasn't talking about a race problem I was talking about an Asian problem. What sane Asian man would not oppose this?
But when I point out that this is exactly what is happening to my country and my people, I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmilloinje ws or a klansmanthatwantstolynchallthe blacks.
It it were to happen to an Asian country you would see it for what it is genocide.
It is happening to my country and my people and it is no less a genocide.
This is getting redundant and comical. You don't know that there are still virtually all white and all white communities in the US? Of course there are and you likely live in one. Who do you think that most whites marry? whites of course. If you believe ihn segregation, that is your belief, but you thankfully don't have the right or the power to violate the Constitution in order to have things your way in these regards.

Do you too think that he has a Eugenics Convention that he wants to attend or something? He is still reiterating that right wing pre World War II fascist drivel (the same views parroted by the America First Committee followers when they weren't trying to get the US to appease their pals in Nazi Germany).

If this is a race problem, why can't Americans go everywhere and anywhere and get it for free like the Mexican cancer cells? Those who resort to calling everything racism means they have no defense. If Americans invaded Mexico and expected to live off the government there, would they be called racist for not doing so? They have bankrupted our country, how much more proof do we need?

Yes there are very many many people with a Trotsky inspired point of view. That is not to say that you are a communist. I am only pointing out that you have bought into the communist idea of class warfare. The difference is you have taken the side of the middle class in a game where the communists have written the rule.

The problem isn't an impoverish underclass. It is demographic change. It is replacing the white population with a brown one. It is genocide.

Stand on your hind legs and make your voice heard. Call, fax, e-mail, and have a face to face with all your government representatives and write letters to the news media. Let them know you are against illegal immigration and expect our laws to be enforced.
Take away the benefits of staying in this country, citizenship birth, section 8 housing, WIC, food stamps, etc. Heavily fine those who hire them and those who rent to them and they will self deport.
Fight to stop the plundering of our country but do it legally just as we have asked illegal aliens to do.
So,They've been sent to Georgia no less than 6 times before ain't they,let em come!!!
In the meantime,what's that really going to do to help those being attacked? Nothing lol,the National Guard will come and go,then we'll we'll just crank it right back up lol. I have tried to tell these fools,man this is NOT California!!

I don't promote forced segregation,anymore than I would go along with forced DE-segregation in the "Private Sector". The Consitution "gurantees" us the "Freedom of Assosiation". Here is why I have such a rabid hatred of most things Hispanic today.

Why do Hispanics try and say things like,we are going to bring about the "Latinization" of the United States? HOW? Go to www.census.gov a web site maintined by the United States Census Bureau. As late as 2008 this was our nations racial/ethnic make-up.
Non Hispanic White/Europeans 66%
Black Hispanics..........4.52%
White Hispanic..........9.48%
African American..........12.2%
Asians/ALL others..........7.8%
All minority ethnic/racial groups COMBINED only account for 34% of this nations total population of over 309 MILLION,The world's 3rd largest by the way behind only China and India. Non-Hispanic Whites will be considered a minority when ALL racial/ethnic groups COMBINED go from the current 34% to 51% of this nations population.
This will still leave Non-Hispanic White/Europeans at...49%!
The MATH is right there folks,White people will remain the sinlge largest racial/ethnic group of THIS nation well into the 22nd Century. Sorry!

In other words,it is a mathematical impossibility that 14% of this nations total population(Hispanics) would ever be able to close the gap,let alone dis-place 66% of this nations total population(NON-Hispanic Whites). Like I said,the United States is now the worlds 3rd largest population so sooner rather than later,Democrats or Republicans neither one will be able to dictate THIS nations Immigration Policies,MATH will!
Ya can't shove 5 lbs. of shit in a god-damned 3 lb. bag can ya??? The answer is no. We're close to being filled folks,so guess what Hispanics,you'll never come any where NEAR closing that "Negative" 52% population gap between YOUR people,and Mine!
