Changing racial demographics in the United States.

[Guno צְבִי]

A fork in the road is a metaphor for a deciding moment in life or history, when a choice between presented options is required, and once made, the choice cannot be reversed. The chaotic nature of America in this moment is present because America is at that metaphorical fork in the road and there’s a cultural-political deathmatch over which path to take.

The demographic and economic changes in America over the last fifty years have brought America to that metaphorical fork in the road. The America of the middle of the last century was what it had always been, a white male Christian nationalist patriarchal culture. America in the third decade of the 21st century has evolved into a completely different place. The country’s population is 40% POC and growing, by 2040 this will no longer be a majority-white country.

Every decade the country becomes less white, more secular and culturally more diverse. The America of today and tomorrow will not be, in fact cannot be, the America of white yesterday.

It’s clear that white MAGA America has already made its choice, they’re all in on maintaining the white hegemony, even at the expense of the American myth. They don’t want or need democracy unless it maintains their power and privilege.

You cannot reform the teaching of American history until you first reform America. Which is why the history of Black and Native American people in North America will never be included in the history of white people in the United States, as the US is understood today. Because that history of Black and Native American people completely destroys the moral authority of the American hegemony.

Do notice that America is getting worse.

Coincidence?

Why is this a good thing?

I remember listening to the Randi Rhodes show (liberal entertainer/commentator) on the radio here in NY about 20 years ago. A caller pointed out that in 1990 the NY Times ran an article stating that by 2040, the demographics will change such that America's white population will be in the minority, as black and hispanic numbers will eclipse them. The caller said, "Ever since they heard that, some people just ain't been right!"

Funny as hell, but none-the-less true.

Irrelevant. The whites are still in charge. Note history, a few wealthy people make the rules. They sure as hell do here. South Africa was run by a tiny minority for decades.
