I think that is a good thing. More people equates to more problems and more suffering. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

AZDuffman Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 135 Posts: 18136 | Early census numbers out, two things stand out. White population outright declined even if by only about 16,000. 52% of counties lost population. As most counties are rural and most of the rural population is whiter than the rest the two trends are related. I will ask Wizard if the crash in the fertility rate starting at the 2008 financial crisis is coming home to roost already. But the oldest boomers were 64 at the start of the decade and 74 at the end. Life expectancy is going to start giving a reverse now that they are right in the sweet spot. Look for the mainstream media to be giddy over this news. Expect housing costs in cities to keep rising as this shows even more consolidation to city living. The President is a fink. |

The number of Americans who call themselves multiracial more than tripled in the past 10 years, from 9 million to 33.8 million. While the proportion of white population continued to decline it might look more dramatic than it is because of people that previously called themselves white now calling themselves multiracial. The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |

That could be the case. The media has made it "cool" to be multi-racial to the point I have seen people think they are better than people who are not. But we still have the elephant in the room, the Boomers hitting the age to die out. Match that with the younger white generation wanting kids far less and there you have it.

It means he dressed, spoke and acted like a well educated, well heeled white guy unless his audience was black. The media considered himself black due to black blood, but as he was half negro and half caucasian I don't see why he should be identified as black as he was equally white. He's a mulatto, but for reasons unclear the media and common usage avoids using this term. I wonder why? |
