What changes, and are they bad changes?
Demographic changes have been pretty dramatic. In that time period the country was well over 75% white and African-Americans (long standing descendants of enslaved Africans brought here a long time ago) were the largest minority at about 13-14%. Rest were mostly Hispanic whites and Hispanic blacks. Small traces of every other ethnic group
White population now is dramatically smaller but still narrowly the majority. But only when you look at each racial group separately. Added together, non whites now outnumbers whites by a small margin. Black AA population has shrunk relative to other minorities by almost 3% or so. Hispanic population has exploded. Populations from the Indian subcontinent (Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis) have dramatically increased as a percentage of the minority population. With the way American views on race work, thereâs now a much larger population of biracial individuals like myself but we arenât considered white by American standards. From a popular demographic standpoint (meaning what regular people observe rather than complex formulas and science) we arenât considered white at all even though we have one white parent.
Now this inherently isnât bad. Itâs the nature of nations like the US to demographically change over time. But it is an observable change and there are naturally going to be reactions, both positive and negative, to it.
Plus honestly a lot of it has to do with the white American birthrate, which is just terrible and well below replacement level. The US population chart only looks healthy compared to Europe because of non-white population growth and immigration. Take that away and the US wouldnât be any better than Germany or Spain. Then like I mentioned earlier thereâs way more interracial relationships going around these days (especially white women with non-white men) and because of how our race views work the children arenât considered white even though theyâre clearly half white.
IMO, none of this is bad or good in the traditional sense. It just is what it is. But no one wants to talk about any of it due to how vitriolic the discussion around it is. If a white person brings any of this up, they are immediately drowned out as racists. If a non-white person brings it up, they are accused of wanting white genocide. Neither of those views are correct or healthy.
sorry that was so long winded with edits. Itâs a very interesting subject to me and I feel like folks here could discuss it without it devolving into the nonsense it does on social media or stuff like tik tok, where people just scream âracistâ or âwhite genocide conspiracy!â at each other.
The sheriff of Fairfax County is refusing to honor them and has been requested by the US House Committee on the Judiciary to provide the following:

Your post explained it well for me, but Iâll have to disagree with this point because the ones coming here want the benefits of Western civilization while hating Americans and maintaining bizarre allegiance to the â â â â holes they escaped from.
Some of them. I wouldnât say most.
Plus it depends entirely on your definition of what âAmericanâ is too. Some would say itâs only white descended Americans (see ALOT of those dudes on YouTube shorts these days). Iâm a bit more inclusive and say itâs pretty anyone here who becomes a citizen and mostly assimilates to American cultural values. Although I do specify what I consider âheritage Americansâ being white Americans, black Americans, and long standing Hispanic Americans. Basically folks whoâs families have been here since the mid 19th century at least.
Now i will also add that I personally have no tolerance for people who immigrate here and maintain primary loyalty to their original nations. Thereâs a decent number of people like that running around and Iâm of the opinion they should be sent packing. Iâm a very welcoming person so if you want to become an American, then become an American. Iâm not even asking anyone to hate their home nations; they can still gladly maintain ties to it in many ways. But your primary loyalty should be to the United States. I see people on short video programs all the time saying stuff like âif the US went to war against Russia Iâm supporting Russiaâ even though sheâs lived here for like 15 years and was married to an American. Iâm using that one because it really stuck out in my mind with how blunt she was about it and it visibly irritated me to no end. I canât stand that â â â â â
Appreciate youur perspective, and I think you spelled it out accurately.
Someday humans will accept, and hopefully embrace the diversity of humankind.
When their discretion is so wrong, innocent people are MURDERED by it, the judge needs to be removed.
No liberal in Fairfax County will ever be removed.
I donât think diversity is either good or bad. It just is what it is and people usually adapt to it.
Exactly. Nobody wants the most diverse doctor. They want the best doc.
Judges canât predict the future.
I live in a very diverse area, many different kinds of people, ethnicities and cultues. That variety produces many more options of so many things to do, eat, and be entertained etcâŠHell, even the landscape is diverse. I could go to the mountaains for a hike, drive a few hous and hang out on the pacific ocean beach, then go grab a meal wih 100âs of choices, then head to a concert for some great live music. About the only thng that is not diverse, is the weather, Rarely gets too hot or cold, with an occassional bad storm in the winter.
Of course, we do get the occassional earthquake.
Are you ready? How does a bank decide whether or not youâre worthy of a loan? Answer; they examine your credit history. Theyâre predicting the future of how youâll pay. Judges do the same thing but itâs the history of your behavior that is the best indicator of your future behavior. Judges can predict the future and when they are blatantly wrong to the degree people are seriously harmed, the judges opinion is flawed and should be removed.
The position is JUDGE. Not wordsmith. And not agenda pusher.
Itâs a common thing among leftists. They need a specific law to tell them right from wrong.
A good judge would see the danger that releasing a habitual criminal causes. And holding him would also not be breaking the law. His discretion as a JUDGE is supposed to be the reason heâs in his position.
Diversity of thought is whatâs good, perhaps best attained through general diversity of peoples in all senses, racial, cultural, ethnic and otherwise.
True, but looking through the public records of the cases, Abdul has a history of violence that escalated, and is directed at a people he thinks are soft targets. Even if he isnât turned over to ICE because the county wants more than a detainer issued off an administrative warrant, there have been enough felonies committed by Abdul to not release him on bond, or under his own recognance; he has proven to be a danger to those around him.
We can connect dots and say that putting a person in a position to commit murder makes the abetter liable as well.
A Georgia jury has found Colin Gray, the man whose teenage son is accused of killing two students and two teachers in a shooting at Apalachee High School, guilty of second-degree murder and all other charges.
I can. I predict that when judges release violent monsters , they will not stop being violent monsters.
