From Hua Hsu at the Atlantic:

“Civilization’s going to pieces,” he remarks. He is in polite company, gathered with friends around a bottle of wine in the late-afternoon sun, chatting and gossiping. “I’ve gotten to be a terrible pessimist about things. Have you read The Rise of the Colored Empires by this man Goddard?” They hadn’t. “Well, it’s a fine book, and everybody ought to read it. The idea is if we don’t look out the white race will be—will be utterly submerged. It’s all scientific stuff; it’s been proved.”

    Unfortunately, population growth doesn’t necessarily mean a transfer of power. When Black South Africa and Black Haiti were made into independent states, the vestiges of colonial brainwashing, disease and unfair law had a strangle-hold on Blacks in those countries. I think dismantling the White supremacist power structure with increased numbers is the only way to realize the effects of demographic change.

    not necessarily the end of white power but possibly blacks playing a more equal role in society because racism will never end and actually has gotten stronger, i highly doubt rich suburbian white people will ever come there senses and quit taking us black folks for granted and always under estimating us but all we can do is prove our selves

    im going to tell you all of you beautiful people something. you can never fathom the depth of the deception of the devil. there is only one way we can get rid of the devil and his many devices. to unite and just plain get rid of him. you know it, i know it, everybody else knows it, and, he knows it. stop flirting with these different, useless theories about the leaves changing color, or will they fall off in the fall, will it lean, will it rock in the wind etc. if you want to get rid of the tree you pull it up from the root. i want you all to go to youtube and check out dr. phil valentine. i think his lectures are very intelligent and educational and i think all moors should hear what he has to teach. i know everybody believes this and that and worships here or there, but; please listen to his classes with out your predjedice. (did i spell that right?) and feel free to stop by my page and tell me what you think.

    I don’t think that white people look at it as an extinction of white america, but they look at it as in a way now we have to resepect black people a little more then what they had in the past. Ever since the inaguration I have noticed a little change of attitude with the white people I deal with on a daily basis(just a little). The reason I feel that they do not seen an extinction is because all of the main business owners and people who can still donate large quantities of money to certain political investments are white. When blacks start owning corporations that are similar or larger than white corporations(ie Microsoft, Met Life, etc.) then white aren’t worried. Money and power is the name of the game and when you have both is when people get scared. I feel that Obama will not try to make this administration one sided or feel like blacks can’t be touched because we have one of us in the office, but white people will have to respect us and know that we can make a difference also and this is where us as black people need to better ourselves and stop this foolishness. We need to keep this going and make white people respect us and understand that we are not the typical stereotype they see on tv everyday. When we do this then that’s when they will feel that their power is becoming extinct.

    We have come from afar in this Country. We are at a point to where we can prove our existence that we are people and people that can lead, organize and demand. At this point we still have not moved up in the Country on a level that we are fully accepted as a people. This country was founded on lies and untruth about Black people and there ability to be a great as the white people. There are some who has proven that they want us on their level as far as equality and there are those who will never accept us as a people of there level, and the numbers are high amongst them. It’s going to take continous leadership after and while Obama help break through the impossiblity that we are equal. Racism will never go away but blacks will succeed because of who we are and the determination that some of us possess from ancestors embeddment.Through attitiude, hardwork, and continued Education we can be what we are and should be here in America, but we must unify even more beyond Barack Obama. He is our key to start the engine running but we must take over from there and drive this thinf home, our home, which is America. Stand tall each of you.

    I love this website, but they have some lame articles and topics.

    I dont know what the deal is of “WHITE” and “BLACK.” I mean sure that the black culture has endure 200 yrs of oppression and still is today in some form or another. but honestly none of us today are 100% black or 100% white anymore. we are all mutts. we all have another race in ur family history somewhere. and the end of white american isnt goin to come from us, when we only make up 18% of american population… We should be focusing on the Mexican they are the largest majority and if we dont do somethin soon they will be the largest majority. and white wil be the LARGEST MINORITY…So lets stop all this “BLACK” & “WHITE” America and come together as a socialty to make the world a better place

    None of us are truly one color. We let society and yes “white culture” label us but that is to try to make us stay in line and be scared to step out of the norm. I am supposed to be white but I am mixed with native american and black. Just doesn’t show through because it was a few generations back.

    in some it is getting closer to the end of “white America”. i do agree with a comment that was made that we are all mutts. on the other hand people will connect you with a race based on your fetchers. if we are predicting on that ideology then yes its the end of white America. weather you believe it or not some white people saw this coming before we did. there other past presidents seen this coming way before it came to be. still we as a people have some way to go to solidify our rightful place in this world

    Why in the hell did someone even write this article. America gets a black president and someone thinks its the end of white america. Do you really think there won’t be another white president…lol. Someone has run out of intelligent things to write about.

    Lame article and lame topic….I believe we have much more important things to focus on than a few people’s fear about such irrelevance.

    US Census: 70% White
    13% Black
    13% Hispanic
    4% Asian and Native American

    ? Maybe America is become a little browner for white folks. That’s about it. Please remember who CONTROLS the majority of Money… it’s not brown people.

    This could actually be true do to the fact that once black is mixed with something that thing becomes black as well. I feel that the world is returning back to the state described in the ancient city of Atlantis. Everyone was equal and bronze in color!

    No offense but Im white as u can see and why start some reverse type s**t of drama..I personally neva have seen color and embrace different cultures and that what makes america. Not white, black type s**t. so this article is hella lame cause I dont really give a f**k, I just want things to change in this country!!

    Stupid article and ironic that it comes from the very people that so fiercely advocate equality. To answer it though, it’s not the end because the picture of modern success is one pioneered from European ideals. In success, minorities merely copy the same European model that they so vehemently disdain. If anything, the non-white successors evince a gaudy, cheapened product of the original european model. How’s white America in danger when their hallmarks are all anyone in America strives for? C’mon now?….It’s hypocritical and so is this article.

    Why we just can’t be one big happy family, and forget about skin color. It’s a new age/era!

    I feel the problem is that people have reduced themselves to being just a color, simply by defining themselves as a color. Africans were brought to this continent, and all at once they became blacks, and no longer africans. To me this is stupid and backward, as well as incorrect.
