Jungle fever
Here’s an interesting one you might have missed:
a 2008 study by the US census predicts that
native whites (good one) will be a demographic
minority by 2042. The study refers particularly
to white people of Western European descent -
what you would call Native Americans if you
don’t count any actual Native Americans. So if
you’re fresh off the potato-boat from Krakow,
you’re not quite white enough to make the team.
Don’t be misled though: Caucasians will still
make up the largest individual ethnic group in
the country when compared to Black, Asian
or Hispanic population. Whites only actually
become a minority when you count all other
groups together in one big murky mass of nonwhite
people who are somehow different from
that uniquely unique race of Western European
Caucasoids. Like it’s them against us in some
weird politically correct but sort of latently
racist way. So America is turning all shades
of brown and The Man knows it: considering
that, it’s not a big leap to view the 2008 Obama
nomination for the Democrats as a preliminary
strategic move based primarily on demographic

projections. Since the passing of the Voting Right
Act in 1965, the Democratic Party has been the
primary stockholder in the voting capital that
is non-white America. Their vote represents a
huge demographic group that – up until ’65 –
had largely been sitting idle on the sideline of
the political game like an all-star forward ready
to win it for the team – if only the coach would
let him play. All it took was for the big wigs to
realize the potential they had been ignoring and
the game could begin. So the fact that Hawaiianborn
Barack Obama II – raised mostly by good
ol’ white folks – is currently the first black(-ish)
president of the US has more to do with strategic
political planning than any alleged ideals
about multiculturalism or racial emancipation.
Regardless of whether or not he is a good politician,
as the son of a Kenyan chief and a white
woman from a middle-class family he does not
represent the typical domestic black community
or its political emancipation. Put simply,
Obama’s more Coming to America than he is
Trading Places. So what does that mean for the
near future? Well, for starters, the Republican
party will hand next year’s election to Obama by
the tried and tested tactic of exclusively providing
candidates who are either void of charisma
or riddled with scandal and blunders. Obama
will get four more years of economic recession
for the GOP to complain about while they whip
an ethnic opponent into shape to step into the
ring come the next round. Who will that be, you
say? I got 5-to-1 on Marco Rubio as Republican
candidate in 2016. This young whippersnapper/
senator is just the ticket for a Republican party in
need of change and diversity. Not to mention he
has an anti-communist back-story that has ’TV
drama’ written all over it: he was born to Cuban
refugees (politically speaking the best kind of
illegal immigrant in the kingdom of Capital).
Rubio, also dubbed the ’prince of the Tea Party,’
made senator before the age 40 thanks to what
looks like a surprisingly atypical case of affirmative
action. Well, maybe not that surprising considering
that Hispanics are the fastest growing
group in the country. Whatever the case, as white
people become an increasingly rare breed in the
US, it will also become increasingly clear that
the entire country is owned by a 10 percentminority.
Because even as Mexicans take your seat
in the Senate, there’s no denying that the core of
the American power structure remains the same
pasty white as the house on 1600 Pennsylvania
Avenue – even if it has a black janitor. (RVJ)
