Majority of Americans Feel Like Country is not White Enough

I read that poll, and that's not only bad news for Establishment Republicans, but for the entire Democratic Party.

 

Seems to me like there are just too darn many dogs. Especially sly ones.

 

I'm not sure if whiteness is the issue, or if President Obama and the Democrats have been too aggressive in their promise to "fundamentally transform" America. It has benefitted much of the hard-core Democratic Base, but at the expense of the Blue Dogs and the Independents To win elections, you need both (Independents and the centrist portion of your own party).

 

Arent white and asian countries usually the happiest and safest on earth?

sent from a phone you've probably never heard of

 

Is that your dog?

 

If there was only a 50/50 whites and asians country it would be paradise.

The porn would be interesting. The basketball would suck though.

 

I mean.... we have our own culture, no? And it seems to me like most people, around here anyway, are pretty open to new things and broadening our horizons, but it still sucks to see things change. I miss the way Portland used to be. I don't like the traffic. I don't like the huge influx of hipsters. I can understand why some people would feel like their culture was being faded a little bit, and why that would be upsetting.

 

Respectfully, using Portland, Oregon as a microcosm of America perhaps isn't the best idea.

 

You really need to change your completely bullshit thread title.

Nothing in your link or post supports using the word white. Race is no factor at all according to your link.

 

Screw Portland hipsters and all the asshole California transplants bringing their traffic mess up here!

 

Lmao that's perfect!

 

Sounds like you're blaming the wrong people. And yes I'll say it white people tend to appropriate culture instead of create their own.

 

Hit a nerve? The Breitbart title sounds like dog whistle calls if I've ever heard them. Might as well say what it really says.

 

Who gives a fuck? I googled this topic just now and there is so much garbage that pops up it is sad. One link was someone's serious article that included a reference to a black guy scoring a winning hockey goal. I think the point was that whites were mad about it. I honestly don't know.

It's kind of sad that the country has turned into a larger version of high school. You have your stoners versus jocks versus rednecks and so on.

People just want to fit in, so much that they don't think for themselves. If a sub 90 IQ white kid wants to have his pants hanging off his butt cheeks, I think it is because he is mentally defective, it isn't an evil plot to steal culture.

 

Hey D? I love the vast majority of what you bring to this forum, and I, as an old white guy cannot even begin to comprehend the black experience. But the above statement makes you as racist as any white racist I've ever run into. By making those blanket and inane statements, you negate every argument you bring to the race talk table. C'mon man, you're better than that. If any of us white guys had made a statement like that, you would have ripped us a new one and then some. And besides, what race, other than the white race is stupid enough to take any credit whatsoever for the current hipster culture? If the black race wants to to own that, then have at it and shame on the blacks....and are you telling me that any other race would claim credit for the Western or Cowboy culture (though blacks were a part of that also)? But if you want other races and cultures to meet you at least half way, stop insulting us and trying to kick us in the nuts every chance you get. You might be surprised at how many of us really do just want everybody to get along.....and are ashamed of the white idiots who make the human race in general look bad.

And while you can infer that the article is a white/black thing, I think it's broader than that. A lot of people aren't comfortable with what they see as this country leaning liberal. I personally don't feel comfortable with the right wing, ultra conservative slide I see this country taking and it leaves me feeling alienated. Another person might have a different take on their own current comfort zone and the reasons for it. There are over 300 million people in this country....that's a lot of opinions....and assholes.....

You don't want to be painted a certain way. Please do us the same courtesy. I wish you and everyone else in this world peace and contentment, so long as it doesn't come at the expense of anyone else. I'll work with anyone if they'll work with me.

 

Not only is that a ridiculously racist statement, it's bonehead wrong.

White is not a culture. There are well over 100 different cultures which have developed in Caucasian populations around the world. Most of them are represented to some extent in America. No other place on Earth can make this claim.

 

Well said.
