It Was a Terrifying Census for White Nationalists
By Charles M. Blow, New York Times
For some of us, the census data released on Thursday was fascinating. For others, it was, I would presume, downright frightening.
Much of what we have seen in recent years the rise of Donald Trump, xenophobia and racist efforts to enshrine or at least extend white power by packing the courts and suppressing minority votes has been rooted in a fear of political, cultural and economic displacement.
The white power acolytes saw this train approaching from a distance the browning of America, the shrinking of the white population and the explosion of the nonwhite and they did everything they could to head it off.

The writing is already on the wall. And just maybe racism will begin to fade also when on group doesn't feel so entitled, that it's their country...even though it was stolen and much of the labor for three centuries was done in the several southern states with stolen labor.
