WASHINGTON — Whites are now in the minority in nearly one in 10 U.S. counties. And that increased diversity, fueled by immigration and higher birth rates among blacks and Hispanics, is straining race relations and sparking a backlash against immigrants in many communities. "There's some culture shock," said Mark Mather of the Population Reference Bureau, a Washington-based research agency. "But I think there is a momentum building, and it is going to continue." As of 2006, non-Hispanic whites made up less than half the population in 303 of the nation's 3,141 counties, according to figures the Census Bureau is releasing Thursday. Non-Hispanic whites were a minority in 262 counties in 2000, up from 183 in 1990. The Census Bureau's report has population estimates by race and ethnicity for every county in the nation. They are the first such estimates since Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast in 2005, scattering hundreds of thousands of people. The biggest changes in were in Orleans Parish, La., home to New Orleans. The share of non-Hispanic whites in Orleans Parish grew from 27 percent in 2005 to 34 percent in 2006, while the share of blacks dropped from about 68 percent to 59 percent. Many of the nation's biggest counties have long had large minority populations. But that diversity is now spreading to the suburbs and beyond, causing resentment in some areas. Many Latinos say they see it in the debate over illegal immigration. In northern Virginia, Teresita Jacinto said she feels less welcome today than when she first arrived 30 years ago, when she was one of few Hispanics in the area. "Not only are we feeling less welcome, we are feeling threatened," said Jacinto, a teacher in Woodbridge, Va., about 20 miles southwest of Washington. Woodbridge is part of Prince William County, which recently passed a resolution seeking to deny public services to illegal immigrants. Similar measures have been approved or considered in dozens of communities across the nation. In all, state lawmakers have introduced more than 1,400 measures related to immigration this year, the National Conference of State Legislatures says. Supporters say local laws are necessary because Congress has failed to crack down on the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. But many Hispanics legally in the U.S. say they feel targeted, too. "I think across the board all of us feel like we're not welcome," said Jacinto, who was born in the U.S. and volunteers for an advocacy group called Mexicans Without Borders. Prince William County has seen its Hispanic population more than double since 2000, to nearly 70,000 last year. Non-Hispanic whites account for a little more than half the population, down from about two-thirds in 2000. Greg Letiecq recently helped form a group to fight illegal immigration in northern Virginia, called Help Save Manassas. The group is named for a city surrounded by Prince William County. "It's not about ethnicity, it's not about race. It's about lawful behavior versus unlawful behavior," Letiecq said. Still, he complained that many newcomers eschew American culture in favor of their Latino heritage. "It's the folks who come in and try to maintain the culture of the country they came from," Letiecq said. "They don't seem to embrace the American culture, the English language, the social norms of American culture." Nationally, the number of minorities topped 100 million for the first time in 2006 — about a third of the population. By 2050, minorities will account for half of U.S. residents, according to Census Bureau projections. "I don't think Latinos or any other so-called minority group are seeking to make white people a minority," Jacinto said. "It's just a reality."

Kumbaya, my lord, kumbaya.... Try selling that in East Flatbush.
Arthur Kemp studied it for 17 long years before he wrote his scholarly book, "March of the Titans". It is a book backed by science and not a revisionist history lesson.
NYPD is recruiting around the country for police. They have lots of bodies available but not police material. Putting in 20 years without being shot is no longer a good bet. Did I mention gun possession is illegal? You know the Sullivan act by heart.

The NYPD, and I suspect other police departments around the nation, has become a magnet for freaks thanks to the Diversity, Political Correct mob. Not that it was ever a paragon of virtue and justice, but jeez……the midgets, and other carnival act rejects that masquerade as cops today is pitiful. Yeah on the Sullivan act, not that the ghetto denizens paid much attention to such things.
That's only b/c you don't live there. If you did you'd see the nasty side of anti-white hatred. Can you help me out here? Why are the demographics of America being changed from white to mixed, and who is doing it?
I was a live and let live type until I had a knife pulled on me and a threat to cut me from eat to ear, I decided it was time to move on.
The only lasting way to stop immigration is to have kids. Everything else is piecework.
Also, you will hear a burst of different tones before the music starts. We call these tones "The Soundburst Test™". This XDR quality control feature is repeatedly monitored throughout the duplication process by a high resolution scan. Only Capitol has "The Soundburst Test™" to verify faithful reproduction of the original master. In addition, this tape has been duplicated using Dolby HX Professional Headroom Extension, which does not require decoding in playback. Uhhhh, the other people are more efficient at that and that is why we are feeding them.

As for white, I’m assuming you’re a Caucasian so look in the mirror. As for when, there’s no need to go any further back than Teddy Kennedy (You agree he is a murdered, right?) and his legislation of 1965. Yes, Kimosobie, the nation was white then, save for pockets of others.
ghost... Firstly English whites are and were European. As a matter of fact the Caucasian race gave birth to ALL of the Western European whites. They are and were brothers. That is historical fact and most recently proven by DNA studies. My birth certificate says Caucasian.
Likewise, I lived in a mixed neighborhood until the mid 60s when government got into the forced integration business. White flight was self preservation.
I left in 1960 when they were considering putting police in the elementary schools to protect the teachers from the students. Working at IDL at the time, I packed it in and took less money out in the hills.
In '63 I started HS in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I took the Utica Ave bus thru Bed Sty to get there. There were three choices for a white kid looking out the window of that bus; duck down at certain intersections, ignore the hate flying at you, or fight back. I did all three at various times, depending upon circumstances. How that for the lovely quilt of diversity Mayor Dinkins tried to foist on the feckless ones?

I worked with minority professionals but education etc had nothing to do with crossing the cultural boundaries. Every group at best tolerated the others. Hell of a way to work or live.
the Appalachians, a breeding ground for a collection of whites that are, collectively, a bit of an embarrassment. You can apologize all day for the existence of whites in this country, point out the fat white people in the midwest and the white people in Appalachia who you deem an "embarrassment"; quite frankly I don't understand your need to riducule groups of whites in this argument, am not sure who you are trying to please by doing that. However don't think for one moment that some of those brown-skinned others think like you do, don't think they embrace whites and their way of doing things, don't think for a second that they will run to help the white man when he is in peril. He is out to please no one but himself and others of his kind, that is the reality, and that is why throughout history once societies become multicultural they always fail. It's a known fact, and pretending or wishing otherwise does not change that.
Boy, there's an American hero....
ghost I recall San Antonio of the late 1940s early 50s. It was no paradise then, there were many areas it was not safe to travel.

Why do you feel it so necessary to put down white people?
So don't feed them. They are more efficient at that, but not as efficient at care of their young; fewer would reach reproductive age if we did not feed them. Either way they are screwed -- either we stop feeding them, or they destroy that which feeds them -- although I would of course prefer the former. Those willing to feed them will die off, via attrition by old age or encounters with Sophisticated Brown Gentlemen. A new equilibrium will be reached.

The first 11 cities on that list at the least are heavily black, so what is your point?
You're just a self hating white. Do you go out and get tanned? Funny, that isn't it, the desire of so many to achieve that bronzed look.

You may not give a crap but they do, very much so, and that's why they will be the majority in the end. This country is over anyway, for many reasons we will soon go into the junk-heap of history.

That is PC genetics, this theory was taught in schools before they really knew whether this was so or not, it was the popular way of thinking in the 1980s among the liberal sociologists who thought it sounded nice. Science has now discredited this with the advanced understanding of genetics.
I don't give a crap if a person is white, black, hispanic, Jewish or oriental, because the differences between the races are less significant than the differences between individuals of any given race. This thread is about the "white race" becoming a minority, as has happened to them countless times in past history. Just perhaps some of the "white" race find this disturbing, those of color would perhaps find it encouraging and or to their advantage. You come across as being of the latter which is your right.
Things were so much better then......

Ah yes and they learned well. Try strolling in Harlem any sunny day.
Actually things were better then. People with excessive melanin weren't afforded special status, unlike - every - illegal - Mexican - is - today.
When, where???? During my lifetime the opposite has been true.
So melanin deprived/challenged people wish to turn back the clock. LOL! Who do you think has been allowing the Mexicans in? Santa Claus? If whites are so happy with their skintone, why do so many spend so much time trying to achieve an epidermial state of excessive melanin, however temporary. Could it be melanin envy.
And this has what to do w/affirmative action for dark ones? Or is it that you really need all the government help you and your progeny can get?

but San Antonio (85% Hispanic) has a lower crime rate than a lot of "white" cities, and it's beautiful on top of that.

Shit, Jeff Dahmer and Charlie Manson were white, Martin Luther King was black. Not hard to decide which of them I'd want as a neighbor.
