    Why would it not be a bad thing for Europeans exactly?

    There's a thing about it happening in the UK by 2050. Anyway as time goes by we will be all mixed race to an extent. But that will take many thousands of years.

    Doesn't this just put the North American continent back where it was about 200 years ago, in terms of non-white births?

    Re: Non-Hispanic US white births now the minority in US
    Tbh I think we're a failed nation already. Rock 'n roll sucks so hard amongst the youth. It doesn't matter whether they're white or not, I don't identify with the mainstream youth culture any more. I'd be happy with a black or Asian replica of myself. I would rather have natives as a minority and have decent rock 'n roll than a white majority and what we currently have. This shows that my opinion revolves around purely cultural reasons. England may be 'multicultural' but there's far too many racial closed community groups. In Scotland, you either integrate with white people or you are a loner. Here, you can live amongst Nigerians. You can live amongst Polish. There is not enough emphasis on living amongst English people.

    My problem with the idea that whites will be a minority revolves around the fact that this country would need a population of 100 million minimum in order to have a white minority without either most whites not having kids or whites being killed off. I am against the idea of a large population because I don't want England to become a metropolis country with no countryside (and no, protected 'national parks' do not count).

    4th thread on this so far.

    No doubt we've got several more threads to come as our resident right wingers find this news story.

    I wonder what a native Americans reaction would be to that video, comparing the wholesale slaughter of an entire race of people to an increase of immigration. I'd be willing to bet your get your head kicked in for it.

    I wouldn't have known this had it not been reported. This will probably scare some people who would've been fine had they not read the news.

    There is no problem with this people, if you are mugged, raped, killed, etc, then you have a problem. If America is knocking out babies of all races, there is no problem.

    Just live YOUR life.

    The video is a reductio of liberal left ideas. And it is spot on.

    Now tell me about this "wholesale slaughter", since you are clearly an expert on the complex history of the founding and discovery of the Americas.

    I can't.

    These guys can though.

    Authors such as the Holocaust expert David Cesarani have argued that the government and policies of the United States of America against certain indigenous peoples in furtherance of Manifest destiny constituted genocide. Cesarani states that "in terms of the sheer numbers killed, the Native American Genocide exceeds that of the Holocaust".[39] He quotes David E. Stannard, author of American Holocaust,[40] who speaks of the "genocidal and racist horrors against the indigenous peoples that have been and are being perpetrated by many nations in the Western Hemisphere, including the United States...."[41]

    Determining how many people died as a direct result of armed conflict between Native Americans, and Europeans and their descendants, is difficult as accurate records were not always kept.[42] Various statistics have been developed concerning the devastation of the American Indian Wars on the peoples involved. One notable study by Gregory Michno used records dealing with figures "as a direct result of" engagements and concluded that "of the 21,586 total casualties tabulated in this survey, military personnel and civilians accounted for 6,596 (31%), while Indian casualties totaled about 14,990 (69%)." for the period of 1850–90. However, Michno says he "used the army's estimates in almost every case" & "the number of casualties in this study are inherently biased toward army estimations".[43]

    In God, Greed, and Genocide: The Holocaust Through the Centuries, Grenke quotes Chalk and Jonassohn with regards to the Cherokee Trail of Tears that "an act like the Cherokee deportation would almost certainly be considered an act of genocide today".[44] The Indian Removal Act of 1830 led to the Trail of Tears. About 17,000 Cherokees — along with approximately 2,000 black slaves owned by Cherokees — were removed from their homes.[45] The number of people who died as a result of the Trail of Tears has been variously estimated. American doctor and missionary Elizur Butler, who made the journey with one party, estimated 4,000 deaths.[46]
    An no its nothing of the sort. Its a bunch of dumb strawmen, that clearly don't apply in the circumstances presented but do in the modern world.

    Why are do those arguments apply only now, and only to white people? Why is it that only white people must be poisoned against themselves? Why must they be taught lies such as they don't have a culture?

    Well Britain should become a non white majority by the second half of this century. Someone suggested 2066.

    Currently 25% of babies born in the UK are non white, a very high figure and this is increasing every year.

    Personally I think this needs to happen. The world will become mixed raced eventually, and I think its good if it does. What it will ensure is that potentially a one world government will happen with no nation states as we will just blur as one and lose all identity through globalisation, which I think is a good thing.

    So people I encourage you to all get with different race spouses and mix up this world, as the world needs it, Britain needs it.
