And Glenn Beck thinks they are a civil rights movement? Whose civil rights are being infringed upon?

4. Change is not only coming

it is inevitable.

White as a race will diminish as will most other non-isolated races.

Despite the angry old white guys being afraid of this, see apartheid, young people are having relationships and making mixed race babies who will be tough to categorize as a single race.

If we survive long enough we will be one homogenous world.

I have a link on my smartphone to translate English/Spanish. I enjoy the challenge of learning new things.

Living in So. California I have plenty of people to practice on. I may never be fluent but communication doesn't demand it.

Besides, so many Hispanic people speak English and Spanish while our White 'superior' race is English only.

Who's dumb now?

multi-racial children. Brazil is an example of this where over the last two centuries, African, European, Asian and Native Americans have intermarried, interbred and created multi-racial children. There are children from dark to blond and everything in between on the beaches of Rio. White Europeans need not worry about being bred out of existence. What will happen is that their descendants will be stronger and smarter from the introduction of new genes into the blood lines.

Although I am mostly white European myself, I also have a Native American ancestor as do many white Americans and Canadians. Many from the south also may have an African American in their background. So white people who have been born in the Western Hemisphere for a few generations probably are already of mixed race and don't even know it. Back in my day, you never talked about great grandma who was Native American as being from the tribe and often children were never told about it.

7. Thats why the GOPers are doing their best

in making abortion illegal because they want to preserve their white race. But maybe they should follow the Mormons on this one. Multiple wives, oops, I mean surrogates, i.e. the Mormons own baby making machines.

Now with making abortion illegal, it also will produce more non-white babies as well, so that solution is to keep them dumb. Take away education for the masses or at best make it harder to get education cause y'know the GOPers want to destroy public education and that voucher shit won't work for the masses. Make College and Universes tuition too high where only the elite came go and the internet schooling most are BS. Then you will have child labor and for adult minimum wage positions although the GOPers want to kill the minimum wage laws as well.

Oh and also keeping the "Left" divided.

around me regarding Spanish speakers, I have replied that they also should learn English before they expect anyone else to do so. Most of those people really are grammatically and spelling challenged in the only language they claim to speak.
