THERE''S A CHRISTMAS TREE JUST INSIDE MY DOOR. AS I SIT LISTENING TO OSCAR PETERSON CHRISTMAS MUSIC,THINKING ABOUT THE PAST MORE AND MORE.AS I PUT NEW AND OLD ORNAMENTS UPON THE CHRISTMAS TREE. PUTTING A BLACK ANGEL NEXT TO THE STAR FOR EVERYONE TO SEE./REMEMBERING JOYFULLY CAROLING IN THE NIGHT.THE CHAOS PUTTING UP CHRISTMAS LIGHTS./IN BED CHRISTMAS PRESENT FANTASIZING..CHRISTMAS DAY FOOD ALWAYS APPETIZING..CHRISTMAS DAY HEARING THE OLD BLACK CHURCH BELL RING.PREACHER READING SCRIPTURES., CHILDREN CHOIR SINGING WITH A BLACK NATIVITY KING..COMPASSION FOR THE LESS FORTUNATE, JOYFULLY GIVING.A CANDLE LIT REMEMBERING FAMILY AND FRIENDS NO LONGER LIVING..THEN REALIZING THE BEST PRESENT NOT UNDER THE TREE.BUT THE JOY OF BEING WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

For grinches like me Christmas, by virtue of the date it is celebrated, is the beginning of the Winter solstice and should, indeed, be a time of peace on earth and good will toward all men as we journey through the darkness, heading toward the light of the Spring solstice and the new birth it represents. SEASON'S GREETINGS, EVERYONE!

For whatever reason, Whites ascended to the top of the pecking order and have stayed there, and if what "Jeff" says is true, will continue to be there, which is not so far fetched. Look at how the white minority continued to control and enslave South Africa, not to mention the control exercised by a white plantation owner over dozens of his slaves in America. Realistically speaking, what does this say? . The only conclusion I can come to is that the aliens who visited this country and determined what direction it would take were, themselves, white. Or, for the religiously inclined, God is white and looks out for his own. Get on board, black folks, and accelerate your quest to intermarry with whites so in a couple of generations your descendants can maybe get a little piece of the pie by getting in where they fit in. I am also toying with the idea that what we refer to as Life" is all a crazy dream that is originating in the nap of a snoring entity who is to us, what we are to ants. I am also becoming less of a polemicist and more of an Existentialist. Fuck everything. I don't give a damn.

Harry, your words bring pleasant memories. I too, am not a Christmas person because of all the commercialism. However, if it brings family and friends together in joy and peace, then you can count me in, Happy Holidays to all my new AALBC friends

my grandfather is related to Coronado one of the first spanish explorers of north america and he has married two non hispanic white women in his lifetime. He has three biological children and they all appear white. His grandchildren, all 5 of them, appear white. Yet these five young people are also hispanic and counted as such. My anecdote is an example of how the white population in America will remain stable (or grow) yet at the same time it will have a more pronounced spanish flavor, pardon the pun. Not to worry white people out there, America will remain majority "white" for a very long time thanks to all those migrants from mexico, etc....(my grandfather is also an immigrant from mexico, or his parents were anyway). For those of you that think my story is in the minority, pardon the pun, a full 20% of all hispanic births every year in America are actually the cross between a hispanic parent and a non-hispanic white parent. The vast majority of these babies appear white yet are counted as hispanic. Again, EVERY single year. There are about 900,000 hispanics born in America every year. Roughly 180,000 (20%) of those are really non-hispanic white counted as hispanic. The other 720,000 hispanic babies are of unknown appearance but if its true that 52% of U.S. born hispanics marry non-hispanics (i.e. whites), then a majority of hispanics being white at the same time is not only possible but likely...hence, how America in 2050 or 2060, etc will still claim a strong white majority (70%+). The only change is that a lot of those whites will have spanish surnames or be the offspring of "mixed" unions with non-hispanic whites. A white is a white, folks. If all these whites came straight outta Spain, would anyone care? or England, or anywhere else in europe for that matter? Again, a white is a white no matter where it comes from. Welcome to a new but same America, one with a strong white majority.

Asians do not consider themselves white and they are a force to be reckoned with because of their viability. Hispanics have a special word used to refer to Whites: "gringo". I've never met a Mexican who considerd himself "white". They most often refer to themselves as brown. Their enthnicity is how they identify themselves and they are quite proud of it. A gulf exists between what's on paper and what constitutes reality. The people doing the extrapolation may have ulterior motives. Society evolves and the direction it goes in is not necessarily predictable. Randomeness and aberrations are among things that have an impact. Does anybody really know what the make-up of this country will be in 50 years? That super-volcano in Yellowstone National park is just waiting to erupt and devastate America's landscape.
