That's the problem.  White people have been conditioned not to talk about race at least not in a way that moves out of the usual anti-white narratives.  Eric Holder in his first year as AG under Obama said we need to have a national conversation about race.  But he was not honest.  What he really meant is we need to have a national conversation about race from a radical black perspective and if you don't agree with it then you are a racist.  Race is not going away.  Instead, it's going to continue to be ginned up as a tool to unite non-whites politically.  You are now considered a racist and an enabler of white supremacy for supporting Trump.  Either we confront the anti-white narrative and the hate from which it flows or it will get worse.

I think even those protesting HT's position on America's demographic shift, and it's consequences, know that he is correct.

I think the first paragraph could be used for any color.  There are rich white people on the upper west side that the kids have no appreciation for the work ethic and the foundations of this country.

HT nails many symptoms of problems.  He's dead wrong, IMO, on the cause.  I still like him even though he comes across and an old angry white man complaining about the kids on his grass.

If you read it again, I don't believe it excludes any colors.
And "kids on your grass" is not equivalent with people destroying your country....and if we keep going in the socialist direction it will be destroyed.

it definitely doesn't exclude......I read something that wasn't there the first time.

When I was a kid a crackpot and his theories often just went away on their own because, well, they were crackpots.  Thatâ€s why a lot of people blow a lot of this stuff off.  That said, the problem is that in todayâ€s age the crackpots arenâ€t going away.  They are now doubling down and getting even bolder.  The Dem field is filled with em.  Almost to a person, sans Tulsi Gabbard, itâ€s one crackpot after another.  

Men that dress up in womenâ€s clothing are now allowed to use the womenâ€s bathroom in certain stores, etc...  Lmao.  Think about that for like a microsecond.  This is how insane this nation is becoming.  Meanwhile China and Russia are on the move, and America is potty training adults.  

This ainâ€t your dadâ€s country anymore.  Crazy ainâ€t going away

I find it interesting that protesters in Hong Kong are carrying the American Flag and singing the National Anthem......it seems they understand our ideals more than we do at this point.

No one is perfect, and you never know when the last time you are going to see/talk to someone is.  I know what my mom instilled in me will be passed along to my kids as they grow, and I am thankful beyond measure for what she did get right in her life.  The first thing we all need to do is to forgive each other.  Not forget things done, but to forgive.  This is the hardest thing for people to do: forgive those that tresspass against us. 

It is going to take a long time to get over my mom's passing, as feelings of guilt and regret surface for all the little things I could have done better, including effort to go visit.  But she had this uncanny way of inspiring us to do and to be better.  To make the right decisions.  To treat others well, at all times. 

I do hope that I will be the kind of parent my mom was.

osurox - Sorry, to hear about your mom's passing. Mom's are what keeps the family unit together. A mom is a very rare breed these days. Sounds like your mom instilled in you the values to be a good parent, and a better person. 

I'm glad you had that last conversation. It will always be there for you. My mom passed in the month of August, too. I, too, was able to have a good last conversation with her. Matter of fact, I just returned from laying flowers on her grave. It will be 14 years on Wed.

Out of those 3 things, everything else will be fine.

Good post. 

I watched both my parents. I saw how they treated one another and others. I only had 8 years with my dad, but it seems it was all I needed. He prepared me for life and what the world was about. Toughness, loyalty, kindness, honesty, not afraid of hard work, sportsmanship just to name a few values he instilled in me.

Imagine what the country would be like if today's immigration was in place when Ellis Island ran immigration. We would be Mexico at best; probably teetering on 3rd world status.

I value honesty and justice and truth.
I value my church and the benefits it's provided in my life
I value hard work and using one's gifts to make the world a better place and provide for one's family.
I value friends.  Friends that know me and still value me.
I value my country and the freedoms we are blessed to have.

None of these values are color specific.

Good post. 


Having values is key to a strong family, church, country, friendship, etc.

Yup. 

White folks run around afraid of losing jobs, businesses, scholarships, etc., because of 'offending' POC. That's no way to live. I could not care less if I offend anybody; especially POC. Those folks have historically made dumb decisions and I'm supposed to be penalized because of their lack of capacity? Fat chance. I'll be in Singapore when the transformation occurs.

Ever been to Iceland lrrp?

Yup. Back in 2002. Military hops across Europe. I finally made it to Reykjavik. I had 45 days of R&R and was not going back to CONUS. I ended up visiting Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Austria, Netherlands, Finland and UK.

I liked Austria and Norway. Disliked the UK and Iceland.

What I remember of Iceland is the food sucked, groups of teens staggering around drunk, and the women average.

I have been looking at Iceland and talking to people who have recently been there and it is starting to look like the best of the bunch at this point as a back up escape plan.  At this point, it appears Austria and Norway are becoming Muslimized.  Forget about the UK.  Still no violence in Iceland and people are pretty laid back and enjoy going out and getting drunk a lot.  It's just expensive but that is one thing that will keep it half way decent.  Plus the climate is tough and not really desirable and there just aren't that many people.  It won't take much to be better than the crap hole we will soon be with the commies in charge.
