longnshort > Mythology of the White-Led "Vanguard" Indeed, it is a myth. In time to come, whites in the US are going to be as irrelevant as they will be in Europe or as they already are in Africa. As for the communist stuff, that's ancient history but there's no doubt that US politics of the future, and surely the present too, will have to take into account the change in demography. findarticles.com >>America is facing the largest cultural shift in its history. Around the year 2050, whites will become a "minority." This is uncharted territory for this country, and this demographic change will affect everything. Alliances between the races are bound to shift. Political and social power will be re-apportioned. Our neighborhoods, our schools and workplaces, even racial categories themselves will be altered. Any massive social change is bound to bring uncertainty, even fear. But the worst crisis we face today is not in our cities or neighborhoods, but in our minds. We have grown up with a fixed idea of what and who America is, and how race relations in this nation work. We live by two assumptions: that "race" is a black and white issue, and, that America is a "white" society. Neither has ever been strictly true, and today these ideas are rapidly becoming obsolete.<<
