The Great Replacement

Brookings projected that the US will become majority non-white by 2045. (Brookings.edu)

“New census population projections confirm the importance of racial minorities as the primary demographic engine of the nation’s future growth, countering an aging, slow-growing and soon to be declining white population. The new statistics project that the nation will become “minority white” in 2045. During that year, whites will comprise 49.7 percent of the population in contrast to 24.6 percent for Hispanics, 13.1 percent for blacks, 7.9 percent for Asians, and 3.8 percent for multiracial populations (see Figure 1).”

This is terrifying to the MAGA, and especially to the incoming White House. It terrifies the old men in Congress as well, but they won’t live to see it.

There’s an inherent fallacy in the statistics because a lot of “white” people are actually multiracial already, and in this report they only grow to 3.8 percent. Nevertheless, there is an inevitability to this evolution that makes me want to cry out, “Take that, you white supremacists!”

No, this isn’t the Jewish takeover that the NeoNazis were chanting about. It’s even worse. The US will, without a doubt, become the multiethnic, multi cultural country , of which the Statue of Liberty is the symbol.

Tomorrow, an insecure narcissist will poke his finger firmly into the dam, in an effort to halt the flood. Uh oh, the flood is already here. Demographics don’t lie. Politicians, hucksters, and narcissists lie, but not Mother Nature. People will find their true loves, they’ll make babies, and those babies will power the future.

Yes, we’ll go through a rough patch, but if we keep our eyes on the prize, as Dr. King might have said, we’ll reach that promised land.
