Basically, the problem with black culture in modern America has more to do with their exposure to white rednecks living in the southern United States and with Liberal identity politics than anything about black people per se.

Basically, that's a ludicrous variant on the liberal "Whitey's to blame for all black failings" line. What explains the problem with "black culture" in Zimbabwe? In South Africa? In Rwanda? Everywhere else blacks exist in large numbers? Black problems are largely to do with their lower average IQ and higher average psychopathy.

Redneck culture, btw, originated in the British Isles, though it has since died out there.

"Redneck" is a sneering term of abuse that would be called racist if it were directed at a non-white group. What's not died out in the British Isles is gangsta culture: the cretinous celebration of violence, misogyny and material possessions whose leading proponents are black. Here are some of them putting their skills to work:

Mary-Ann killers jailed for life

Six men* have been jailed for life for the kidnap, torture and murder of schoolgirl Mary-Ann Leneghan. The 16-year-old was raped and beaten before being stabbed to death in Reading, Berkshire, in May last year.

Historically the United States has done an excellent job of assimilating its immigrants.

Historically its immigrants have been white and overwhelmingly Christian. As you'd expect, they were able to assimilate into a white Christian nation.

" In the past it usually took a generation or two, but it did work. "

No it did not work. Only Europeans have assimilated. That is because they were the same people. Deep down, a white American is much closer to an Englishman living in England than to an assimilated African American. In fact, the 40 million African Americans have not become assimilated. Their arrival in the hearts of American cities during the 20th century has led to massive white flight for security reasons. Even though they have been in America for centuries. It does not work better today: the sons of Mexican immigrants cause more violence than their parents. Anyway, European immigrants never caused the damage that third-world immigrants cause today. So, it didn't matter if they didn't assimilate. And even if first-generation European immigrants had been violent, it didn't matter much, as they came only in small numbers. The American population grew thanks to the American birth rate.

What you are defending is the theory that the main difference between people from different parts of the world is in their culture. In fact, it is in the genes. Besides, most people in the USA and in Europe are opposed to immigration. I think Europeans have a preference for the European physical type. It is absurd to say that looks count for nothing. I'd rather immigrants from the third-word did not marry Europeans.

Even if one believes in your theory of assimilation, it is hard to ignore that large parts of the western world have already been terribly damaged by immigration, and it is bound to get worse in the future, as immigration from Mexico, Africa, and other non-European places is now at a record level. According to your theory, if immigration is brought to a stop today, things will start getting back to normal in about 50 years (due to assimilation), when most commentators on this thread are dead. You are only offering (very misguided) hope for after our death.

Apart from that, from what I've read, immigrants to the USA seem to find it easier to get a job and to integrate economically.

**Ovalteen: "I wouldn't gloat too much over Europe's demise"

I'm not gloating over the situation in Europe, I'm weeping. You can't compare an agreement to lessen tariffs (NAFTA) with one that destroys national identity (the EU).**

You sounded as tho' you were gloating. NAFTA is a stage in a process: the destruction of national identity doesn't take place overnight.

**Well, yes actually, they do. They value most other Western things too -- probably more than most Europeans do. Comparing Mexican migration to the US with Islamic migration to Europe is silly.**

You sound like a neo-con. If you want to know what Mexicans will create in the US, look at Mexico. Only it will be worse, because it's not the best Mexicans who are emigrating. Nor are Mexicans the only immigrants into the US.

**Despite a few Reconquista nuts sequestered in the college campuses, Mexicans come here for the same reasons my ancestors came here -- more freedom and more opportunity.**

Standard neo-con/liberal pro-immigration line. You ought to look at what's actually going on rather than repeating the media's propaganda. Muslims entered Europe for "more freedom and more opportunity", i.e. they didn't come to benefit us but to benefit themselves. The more of them there are here, the more they re-create the conditions they left at home. The same applies to Mexicans. There's also the question of whether immigration should be decided entirely by what immigrants want. Some old-fashioned believers in democracy think natives should have a say too.

**The comments to my post seem to view America as "white"...**

But that's racist! How can one say America is "white" just because it is? The fact that you put "white" into quotes reveals how brainwashed you are.

**and Mexicans as some non-white interlopers.**

They are partly non-white and they're certainly not northern European white.

**My wife is Asian, I am Scottish/Irish/Cherokee**

It's not surprising that many white Americans claim to have Indian ancestry. It would be surprising if all of them were correct. Correct or not, they're able to absolve themselves of horrid, hateful things like racism, xenophobia and common sense.

**and our ancestors became Americans quite easily because they wanted to, just as most all Mexicans who come here want to.**

Again, standard neo-con/liberal pro-immigration line. Even if one grants that Mexicans want to become American -- which isn't true -- it takes more than will to succeed. I recommend

The SPLC recommend it too: it's been labelled a "hate site" by them, i.e. it's more interested in reality than in politically correct fantasy.

He is quite right when he mentions that we Americans are not gloating. The culture I grew up in was derived from western European civilization and to see it circling the drain is depressing, especially since trends seem to come here from Europe. It's sad because I see a continent being sold down the river by a small circle of bureaucrat/oligarchs who answer to no one, really.
When Stuart mentioned getting some guns, I know many of you roll your eyes and mutter how crazy we are. Stuart is absolutely correct in that. An armed (and angry) populace is not to be taken lightly. We have maintained what liberty we have by reminding our elected officials that we have the means to fight back. Deep down in your hearts you remember how to do it - ancestral memory -
Tours, Agincourt, Waterloo, Verdun, the Somme, Algeria. Ring a bell, guys?

Stuart: " Mexicans come here for the same reasons my ancestors came here -- more freedom and more opportunity."

Unlike your ancestors, many Mexicans simply come for the welfare money! What made America a success was European people. What made Mexico a lesser success was Mexicans. The important thing is the people, not the land, not even the American constitution. If every Mexican moved to the United States and every American moved to Mexico, the new successful country would be Mexico.

" but why on Earth would we not count them? They are here and are American or becoming so."

If you send them back, they won't be around any longer. Mexican immigrants are not becoming American. Rather, Americans and Mexicans (and other people) are joining together to create something else that will have little to do with yesterday's America. Since white people are going to be only a small part of the new mix, your country will no longer be American. The average IQ is now going down. It will have consequences on the economy, cultural life, politeness, and the crime rate. In spite of intermarriage, racial groups won't disappear overnight. White Americans will still be around for some time, but the country will no longer belong to them. They will feel less and less at home in the dominant culture. They will no longer have a future as a group, they probably won't be allowed to show any racial solidarity with the white lower classes, and there will be a lot of racial friction. Life will be tough!

It is natural for white people to want to be succeeded in their own countries by their own children, and there is no reason Americans should feel any interest for the non-whites who will be living in North-America in 200 years if immigrants are not expelled now.

" I am Scottish/Irish/Cherokee"

Americans like to say they have Indian blood, but for some reason, it doesn't show in their looks.

" and our ancestors became Americans"

Your European ancestors became European Americans. It is no big feat. But you may have noticed that African Americans have not become like you, and you have not become like them.

"Forget God and children"....No way!
In other words one could say that WESTERN Europe gave up CULTURE,FAITH, HOPE and WISDOM those reallities walking together which made its strength and civilization.
There are no other "real reason" which precisely explain that we have a perfide political elite...

The problem is larger and don't concern only our political elites but also our new so-called "cultural elites" marked by relativism and nihilism after the failure of the "great" secular ideology of the last centuries

Stuart: " The collapse of Europe "

Europe and North America are in similar boats. The Whites will become a minority in America before they become a minority in Europe. Maybe Mexicans value the arts more than Arabs do? I don't think it really matters.

Paganini: "has slowly given away our freedoms and souverenity to the EU "

I think the immigration policy has been carried out by our European governments independantly from the EU.

Stuart -- I wouldn't gloat too much over Europe's demise, à la the neo-con Mark Steyn. The same kind of people are in charge of the US and your future isn't looking any rosier than ours. Your "God" is a cross between Mammon and YHWH, neither of whom has any interest in preserving Christianity or the European majority in the US. And you just have to look at NAFTA to see that traitors like Bush have an American version of Eurabia lined up and ready to go.

I didn't check her living place but you'll understand which neighbours I've in mind.
