A new culture is inevitable for America

 Image result for immigration

America is ushering in a new culture. This is very uncomfortable and stressful for many, some even violently resist, but resistance is futile. The change that is now in it's infancy will blossom rapidly and all must come to understand that the day of the WASP, even though it's existence is more fantasy than reality, is at its end.
In the past there were many migrations to America, some done freely and other by force. Look at the chart below taken from: http://www.prb.org/Publications/Articles/2014/us-migration-trends.aspx

U.S. immigration waves

U.S. immigration waves

It should be clear from the above that for the past 100+ years that most of the immigrants to the US were from Europe. Yes, different languages and traditions, but all sharing various aspects of a common history. While their were definite clashes, the melding pot notion ultimately worked.

"In 2014, Mexican immigrants accounted for approximately 28 percent of the 42.4 million foreign born in the United States, making them by far the largest immigrant group in the country. India, closely trailed by China (including Hong Kong but not Taiwan), and the Philippines were the next largest countries of origin, accounting for about 5 percent each. El Salvador, Vietnam, Cuba, and Korea (3 percent each), as well as the Dominican Republic and Guatemala (2 percent each), rounded out the top ten. Together, immigrants from these ten countries represented close to 60 percent of the U.S. immigrant population in 2014."

Things are changing and totally different cultures (India, Middle east, etc.)  are taking root in America. This is not cause for concern or fear. In fact, it should be celebrated and embraced . As we know from biology, the greater the biodiversity, the healthier and more vibrant the environment.

A generation or two down the road, assuming we're all still here, there will be confusion as to what the fuss was all about.

Don't let the bastards get you down!

 

I had a disheartening conversation with an acquaintance of mine a few days ago. Being well educated, she has followed the antics of the banks, the economic fiascoes, political idiocy in congress, the constant denial about climate change, Monsanto and the GMO conspiracy, and the general head in the sand affliction being experienced by so many.

She said, "I give up. I'm going to close my doors (I think she meant in her mind, not home) and just not listen anymore. There's nothing I can do anyway."

I told her that if she did that, then THEY win. They have beaten you into submission and that has been their plan all along. Like, "Your vote doesn't make a difference" as a tool to keep people from voting while they line up their faithful at the ballot boxes.

So, she may have just been having a bad day, but with all that is happening in the world, don't let the bastards get you down. THEIR hope is that as issues drag on and no actions are taken, people will forget about the problems and/or just give up in frustration, thereby, they keep control. This is not a time for indifference or complacency. I have heard others say that since nothing happened on 12/21/12, all of this Earth change must be a bunch of bunk. That is so far from the truth and so much is changing that if you are aware, it makes your head spin. But you see, THEY wanted people to believe that changes were going to be a ONE DAY event. And, since nothing happened, there are obviously no problems. That was their spin many have fallen prey to this lie.

Keep watching, stay alert, stay tuned, that big lady has not even begun to sing ... yet.
