    AS I look at the decline of the Caucasian population around the world, it makes me wonder it the whites who pushed so hard for birth control actually knew what would happen if the rest of the world ignored the call to cut back on children?

    I don't mean for this to be racist. I only have to chuckle when I see people of color and other religions (i.e. Islamic) ignoring birth control, and adding to their numbers every day. For instance, it is undeniable that Muslims are rapidly taking control of all European nations, and Latinos have moved ahead of whites in California!

    So let's discuss population control, and the possibility that in developing birth AS I look at the decline of the Caucasian population around the world, it makes me wonder it the whites who pushed so hard for birth control actually knew what would happen if the rest of the world ignored the call to cut back on children?

    Not nearly as much as abortion has backfired on black Americans.

    Hispanics are the new majority minority and , overall, they have no love for black people or their culture.

    Yep, that's the divide and conquer lie right out of the GOP playbook. But the Black and Brown people of today are a little bit more savvy than you think and fully recognize this lil ploy coming from the right.

    The African Diaspora had a great reach and folks realize they are more alike than the people who continue to try to divide them make them out to be different and at loggerheads with one another.

    How do I research what you think?

    Is there a website or book with all of your thoughts and beliefs in it?

    So again, do you think that Hispanics came out of Africa?

    Again, do your research.:thumbs:

    I am asking what YOU think.

    I am asking for YOUR personal belief.

    This really should not be so difficult.

    A single "yes" or "no" answer is all that is required.

    Do YOU think that Hispanics came out of Africa?

    Who are the folks of the African Diaspora that are more alike then the people who try to divide them?

    Divide them from who - themselves?

    Very little of what you write is comprehensible.

    The whole idea (liberal) is to get you so discombobulated that you forget what you were trying to discuss, thereby allowing the liberal to take charge of the argument and direct the outcome.
    You will notice that a direct answer from this guy is rare! :smilewinkgrin:

    Hispanic, and other immigrants are able to form their own impressions of African Americans. I'm sure they could care less about any "lil ploys from the right".

    Those opinions are firmly entrenched already.

    Why do whites need to be the dominant majority? Is that even an actuality or just shooting from the hip? If they aren't the dominant majority, what changes?

    Is birth control bad, evil, sin?

    Yes it's something we have all noticed probably. Polls do seem to confirm it.

    Margret Sanger and other liberal progressives of her day would say it backfired. Birth control was meant to control the population of "undesirable" and was just one aspect of the whole eugenics program that liberals had dreamed up back then. It's interesting but I read this article for my American history class that was written toward upper class white women telling that that they should have more children because they would not want to lose their majority. Of course we can see how that worked out for liberals but they in true fashioned figured out how to make it work for them.

    The first purpose of both birth control and abortion were for "freedom" to not have to worry about unwanted pregnancy. There may have been plots of some to use it to control race populations, but as all races use them, their main reason is to avoid basically convenience (or some would say "responsible family planning").

    I see that a lot of stock is being placed here in the relation of Hispanics with black Americans (which itself was basically off topic, so I don't see how someone else is accused of "discombobulating" just for responding to it).
    I wonder what this is meant to be getting at.

    "Hispanics" are a very wide and diversified group (which is why they get their own category in population statistics).
    Over here in the east, they have traditionally been more Puerto Ricans (who are actually citizens), and then, Cubans and Dominicans. They have lived in pretty much the same communities with the blacks for generations, and the cultures have largely overlapped. I've always heard about some Hispanics who insist they're "white" (including ones as dark as any African), but that is not quite the same thing as what is being claimed here.
    Out West, it's mostly Mexicans and other Central Americans. (People initially pretty much migrated north but pretty much staying on the same side of the continent they originated from).
    Now, it has been changing a bit, and Mexicans are spreading out more. So I'm not sure of the dynamic in the West with those groups.

    People insist we're supposed to be "post-racial", and it is only certain people, with a political agenda, who keep playing it as a "card", but then why does anyone care whether a race is growing smaller (or whatever) or not? If another race is on its way to becoming the majoarity, by the time this really occurs, you likely won't even be here. I've always wondered why that is such a big issue, especially from a conservative Christian context, where it's all about the afterlife, and many believe Christ is returning soon (this world is "passing away") anyway.

    Post racial, in my estimation, means that there are no longer barriers to success for any racial or cultural group. That no one is actively trying to hold back or intimidate another group. It doesn't mean that we have to like and approve of all cultural traits.

    Cannot answer for the OP, but it sounds something like what Native Americans say on their websites, where comments such as 'why did we ever allow European Americans to become a majority here?' are common. For them (Indians) it made a great deal of difference. Possibly that is what the OP is analogous to.
