Debate, and discuss, just dont Bore me.
Published on October 10, 2006 By Dr Guy In Current Events

According to the Census bureau, tomorrow, the 300 millionth American will be born/Emigrated to this Country.  300 Million!  Of all developed nations, the US is growing the fastest.  And that does include India and China (as a rate, not of the number of people).

And according to that government institution, by 2050, we will almost be a country with a majority of Minorities.  I say Great!

Why?  Because I believe in the American Dream.  I believe that anyone, black, red, yellow, brown or white, can suceed.  On their own.  And I am tired of this mentality that pervades many institutions and people that "some people are more equal than others", i.e. Affirmative action.  It is so Animal farm as to be laughable, but the sad part is they dont even realize their hypocrasy, or the parallel.

In 2050, if I am still alive, I will celebrate the fact that there is no majority, and that we are all minorities.  And now, we are all equal once again.  AA had its use at one time.  That time has long since passed.  But like all things government, dead programs, long after the eulogy has been spoken, remain government programs.  So in 44 years, EVERYONE will be able to claim minority status, and get equal rights.

And I like that.

Wow. Imagine that - seeing all the faces of the world in one place. The government can be its own U.N.!

That's going to be a terrible time! It'll be horrible.

All of the PC nitwit types that currently focus on all of those poor, downtrodden minorities will be looking for all sorts of new stuff with which to bug the hell out of people. Who knows what sort of annoying nonsense they'll come up with?

Oh the horror!

Do you think they'll blame Bush?
He is sneaky enough to plot something like this.

I hope by then they will have another Bush to blame.

Bite your tongue!!


I saw on tv recently that the Latino population is now larger than Blacks. So we are definately the minorities...no wait, the Asian population is less than ours. Well anyway, the day when we can all stop putting an X at what color/ethnicity we are will be a day of much rejoicing because finally we will all be 'one people'!

Not too many people will be happy about that one!

Should I worry about the color of my kin? See, my daughter just found a jar of purple finger paint and has coated herself in it.

Why would it matter?  You are a minority in that you are Jamican.  You are not African American.  You may be black, but then is that who you are?

I think not.  When we all are minorities, maybe we can all be just people again.

Well, in your case, I would be!  A purple people eater!

There will always be a majority even if just by one. People of the US pride themselves on differences more than commonalities. I’d settle for everyone just wanting to be labeled as Americans without any title pinned before it. When that can be achieved it will be a great day in itself.

Only when 2 minorities are combined.

And I share sentiments.  If it happens in our life time, so much the better.
