Whites Will Officially Be a Minority in the U.S. by 2050

By the year 2050, the White population in America is estimated to drop to 47%. It was 85% just 47 years ago. At the same time, due to immigration and high birth rates, Hispanics will swell to make up 29% with Blacks remaining at 13%, and Asians at 9%. In total, the estimated population of these United States is expected to reach 438 million according to a report released today by the Pew Research Center.

Most of this grow, as mentioned, will be from immigration: "Of the 117 million people added to the population during this period... 67 million will be the immigrants themselves and 50 million will be their U.S.-born children or grandchildren." The White population will drop significantly, and by 2050, Whites will officially be a minority population in the U.S.

The Baby Boomers marked a single generation that is now reaching retirement years. By referring to them as a "boom," the obvious implication is that succeeding generations weren't so booming. The birthrate amongst Anglo families has steadily declined since the 1950s, and the future United States--if there still is one--will take on a much different visage.

To this, a good many people will say, "Hallelujah! Whitey got what he deserved!" And, this refrain will likely come out of the mouths of a fair amount of self-hating Anglos. Self-hatred is an interesting phenomenon, and one that I am still puzzled to behold. The architects of bigot-police have so thoroughly indoctrinated White citizens that they expect, anticipate, and now rejoice in their own demeaning and decline. This is leading to what Pat Buchanan refers to as national suicide:
The American majority is not reproducing itself. Its birthrate has been below replacement level for decades. Forty-five million of its young have been destroyed in the womb since Roe v. Wade, as Asian, African, and Latin American children come to inherit the estate the lost generation of American children never got to see. (Day of Reckoning: How Hubris, Ideology, and Greed are Tearing America Apart, p.8)
The new era of immigration is nothing like the past. New immigration is not seeking acclimation, or the submission to American values, tradition, and history. America is not the beacon of freedom that drew immigrants in the past. Today's immigrants come primarily for economic reasons and the benevolent welfare state (I don't know how many times you have to say this to a liberal, but if you subsidize something, you get more of it).

Is there hope? I think so. Why? Because God is large and in charge! Humanly speaking, there is hope also because of the growing population of godly Christian families that are multiplying rapidly. Better yet, a more astute generation of Christians is also growing. I've met several young men and women now in key positions in Christian ministries, media, civil service, and publishing that were homeschooled--even more that were trained in a Christian school. When you've got a generation filled with God's Spirit, the Scriptures, and vigorously trained in all forms of academia, you've got a new aristocracy arising. These new (multiplying) Christian leaders will be central to overseeing the swelling populations of non-Americans.

The X Factor is always faith. If we do not succeed in convincing our pathetic politicians to control immigration, then we shall make dedicated Christians out of all that cross our borders. If such agendas as the creation of a North American Union are underway, Christians will subvert the centralized social order. It's just in our spiritual blood to do so. We have a tendency towards turning the world upside down (Acts 17:6).
