White deaths outnumber births for first time

[Que]

Several years ago there was a book recounting an incident from around the turn of the 20th century. Some nuns that ran an orphanage in New York had placed a few dozen of their Irish children with good Catholic families down around Bisbee, Arizona, when the copper boom was under way. Of course, this being Arizona, these were mostly Mexican families. This didn't mean anything to the nuns -- Mexicans or Spanish speakers in general weren't familiar to them, and all they cared about was the kids having the "right" religious upbringing. But when the train arrived, the white townspeople were outraged -- "we can't allow these white children to be adopted by these colored families!" A lot of mob behavior ensued. The funny thing was that the kids had to go west to become thought of as "white;" back in New York, they were just poor Irish orphans.

Point being that it's all fluid.

Weird, unrelated coincidence:

In the copper mine up here Hispanics (several generation American mostly) are the majority. As a result white kids get a hard time in the otherwise decent school in the company town. Lots of white families consequently commute 45 miles. So a friend of mine that I assumed was hispanic based on his general appearance was moving his family 45 miles away for the schools. I remarked that I understood the school here was likely as good. He expressed concern about the treatment his kids were getting. I was puzzled. Aren't you hispanic?? No, I'm Irish.

You must not be able to read with comprehension.

You haven't answered the question. All you've said is "other people are talking about it", so why does that force you to talk about it?

What is your personal interest in this topic? Why do you care?

You resort to insults, because you know that you can't answer honestly.

It must be particularly terrible to be you. Not able to own their own opinions, ducking and hiding all of the time, afraid to speak about what you believe.

This is the USA, and you're afraid to express your opinions, and instead hide behind "other people are talking about it!" comments.

Again, the New York Post, the Census Bureau, and all the other organizations, agencies, and sources that you mention talk about thousands upon thousands of things... you said it was "interesting". Why is it interesting?

 

[toubab]

No, you haven't. Why do you think you have several people asking you the same questions you fail to answer 2Bob?

The obvious reason you morons keep asking the same question over and over again despite it being answered over and over again is you are morons. How you could have read even just the OP and not understood the meaning of these words is beyond me:

"The possible ramifications, political and otherwise, are many, of course."

Yes, everyone else is a moron... keep telling yourself that.



Did you fail 3rd grade logic class?

Of course the meaning is clear -- and too vague and trivial and banal and truistic on which to base a discussion thread. We strongly suspect you are really thinking of something much more definite than "many," and something much nearer to "objectionable."

Idiot, that's not what I've said. You are a moron who got your answer over and over again and refused to acknowledge it. Including the obvious answer in the OP, genius. As to why I care, I'm a citizen of the US, dimwit.

There is no one this board who is more fearless in expressing his or her opinion than I am, fuckface.

Then you are idiots.

You haven't expressed an opinion, you have regurgitated a fact.

Moron, I've expressed my opinion clearly, along with facts.

 

[richard_daily]

Moron, I've expressed my opinion clearly, along with facts.

No, you have not expressed your opinion, not in any way, shape or form.

You have 4 or 5 people telling you that, and you can't accept it.

That makes you the moron.

I can't help it if you pussies have your panties in a twist over this thread. The US Census Bureau, The Washington Post, and the Brookings Institution obviously agree with me that the subject is of importance, for extremely obvious reasons. Get lost, dumbass.

No, they dont' "agree" with you. They are agencies that report fact. You are not.

You said you have the strongest opinions on this board, but that's total bullshit. The average playgrounder expresses themselves with more direct passion than you do.

What are the "extremely obvious" reasons?

Man up and answer.

Nobody could possibly be as stupid as you appear to be. Nobody. You have to be trolling me. I'm not wasting any more time on you, you fucking halfwit motherfucker.

I am not sure where the public educational system failed you, but you are clearly a case for reforming it.

 

[richard_daily]

I'm no longer posting on the general board. Testing the waters here.

Can't express your opinions, and a liar to boot.

You're a disgrace to the men and women that fought for your freedom.

Dumb fuck, the thread got kicked to the general board, as was clear if you could fucking read.

And I did my share to provide you with your freedom, you ingrate.

You stated that you weren't posting on the GB anymore. That makes you a liar.

What did you do to provide me freedom? Give me specifics. Or is this going to be like your "opinions", really cryptic and not expressed in any tangible fashion.

I didn't intend to continue posting on the GB, dumbass, but my threads got kicked over here, and I had no choice in the matter.

US Air Force. Now shut the fuck up, you maggot.

You had no choice but to keep posting on the GB?

It sounds like you have some issues... the Washington post writes an article, and you are forced to post about it, and someone moves a thread of yours to the GB, which you said you weren't posting in anymore, and you are forced to return...

It sounds like other people determine what you do with surprising regularity.

You didn't give me specifics about what you have done to defend my freedom. Please feel free to enlighten me.

Of course I had a choice, moron. I chose to start posting on the GB again after my threads got kicked over here. And in case you really are too stupid to understand what you read, I didn't say I would never post on the GB again. Read what I wrote again, very slowly.

You get no specifics about my time in the military. You don't deserve any specifics.

 

[Disgustipated]

2Blob, calling people a moron over and over doesn't make you less of a coward and a liar.

You are morons, and you can shove your insults where the sun don't shine. They mean nothing to me. The fact you're too stupid to realize I'm not a liar or a coward is your problem, not mine.

You were a janitor, weren't you?

Did you save my freedom by scrubbing poop?

You people obviously can't read for shit. I've already answered that over and over. See if you can understand me this time. I'm a US citizen. Now, if that doesn't make it clear why this subject is of interest to me, you're just plain hopelessly stupid.
