“…our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same … Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset … Contrary to the charges in some quarters, S.500 will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and economically deprived nations of Africa and Asia. In the final analysis, the ethnic pattern of immigration under the proposed measure is not expected to change as sharply as the critics seem to think.”
Senator Ted Kennedy
Supporting the 1965 Immigration Act
S.500 has put us in the position that by 2040 whites of European heritage will no longer make up a 50% plus majority of the American population. In 1960 five short years before S.500 was passed whites of European heritage were nearly 90 percent of the population. Everything that Teddy “Chappaquidick” Kennedy said was wrong.
Now some in the Church have said that this is good. The world is coming to us and so we have the opportunity to evangelize — so the argument goes. Now, if the Church were genuinely evangelizing our immigration nation I would embrace this reasoning but what is happening instead is that the Church is being evangelized by the different faith systems that are washing up on America’s shores. The result of our immigration nation has not been the extension of Biblical Christianity into these various cultures but rather the result has been the extension of multiculturalism, and multi-faithism (sometimes referred to as postmodernism). What’s more that multiculturalism and multifaithism is increasingly coming into the Church and being defined as Christianity.
A nation, like a family, is not defined merely or only by propositions. A nation is defined by shared faith, shared family ties, and shared attachment to the land. In the immigration policy we are pursuing we are becoming an alien nation, festooned with alien faiths, populated by alien families. The result of such a policy can only be eventual balkanization where theological, social and cultural homogeneity will be replaced with tribal enclaves each characterized by their own unique theological, social, and cultural homogeneity. In short the immigration policy we are pursuing now will eventually result in the war of all against all.
In my opinion we have no will to change course and so the die is cast.
Tune in tomorrow for some more cheery news that will make you happy and carefree.
White-hatred has always been synonymous with Christianity-hatred in the United States. We are told that we need to respect and preserve the heritage of other races and peoples and religions, but when Christianity is offered up to the modernist and postmodernist pluralists, it is only respected insofar as it is divested of every pointed truth it contains.
“White oppression” is now the repressed, the fisked, the disrobed. And many Christians have bought into the repackaged knock-off version of their “faith” and single-handedly brought shame upon all that Christ stands for.
I hope I’m not stealing your cheery thoughts Bret.

No, you’re exactly correct.
Consider this quote I just read at another site,
What is unstated, and what most people don’t realize is that the attack on the white person is at the same time an attack on Biblical Christianity, and and attack on Biblical Christianity is an attack on being white. What is ironic is that white people don’t instinctively want to make race or ethnicity the prism through which all reality is seen and yet the attack of the multiculturalists (cultural marxists) upon historically Biblical Christian white people is forcing white people to take seriously the racial and ethnic prism through which the multiculturalist (cultural Marxist) is jamming everything through.
I think it is interesting how recent scholarship in sociology has begun to look at “whiteness” as an ethnic category. I’ve read several articles in my own discipline (Communication) on the issue as well.
The way ethnicity is often treated has more to do with cultural styles and regional or class cultures, and less to do with any distinctive ethnicity of “race” or “color.”
These people have everything backwards. They think that experience leads to beliefs, as opposed to experience being interpreted through beliefs. They think that culture is a result of biology and history as general categories, and ignore the arguments and competition among competing ideological visions of one or another culture.
I don’t know how I’m going to make it through my exams and dissertation without getting kicked out of school.
What better reason would there be?
