Two weeks ago Senator Kennedy had warned Bill Clinton to stop splintering the Democrat party along race lines. Bill did not listen.

Did it cost Hillary the endorsement of the Kennedy Clan?

The National Policy Institute estimates what the world will look like in 2060 – about 50 years hence.

According to an article in Human Events authored by Pat Buchanan and published on May 2, 2008 in 1950 whites were 18% of the world’s population and Africans accounted for 9%. By 2060 the percentages will be about the same but the colors reversed. Two hundred million whites will vanish by then. Arabic people, counted among whites, will rise ten-fold to 743 million and account for 75% of whites.

Iran’s population will rise from 71 to 100 million. Pakistan will grow to 300 million from about 71 million today. Afghanistan will triple to 79 million and Iraq will leap from 29 to 62 million. In America Hispanics will triple to 127 million while Mexico will grow to 130 million.

Last October PEW RESEARCH asked 45,000 people in 47 countries what they thought and majorities in 46 countries expressed fear about loss of their national culture. Sixty-two percent of Americans said more must be done to protect “our way of life.” Three-fourths wanted stiffer immigration laws and restrictions. Asians, Africans and Middle Easterners appear, by simple weight of numbers appear to be poised to inherit the earth.

“This is the way the world ends, “wrote T. S. Eliot in his closing couplet of “The Hollow Men,” “Not with a bang but a whimper.” It begs the question of whose world to which he referred.

Sometimes it’s hard to believe in the “benevolent brotherhood of man”. Today’s Ten Post Round-Up will probably not make it any easier:

The Detroit chapter of the NAACP is featuring Barack Obama’s longtime minister, Jeremiah Wright, as keynote speaker at its annual Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner this Sunday. It is billed as the largest annual sit-down dinner of African Americans in the country. At least 10,000 people are expected to hear the Rev. Wright speak.

The question on most lips is will Wright make his trademark denunciations of America as an oppressor of blacks and a creator of the AIDS virus to kill them off?

“When you take the t-e-x-t out of context, you’re left with c-o-n, and we have been conned,” Detroit branch NAACP President Wendell Anthony explained as he announced the dinner’s speaker at a news conference. If Wright shouts anything like, “Goddamn America,” the context will flow like sewage into Indiana, North Carolina and across the nation to Obama’s deficit. Stay tuned.

ANTI-AFFIRMATIVE ACTION MEASURES MOVING: On the same ballot where they’ll find the name of either the first black or female major party presidential candidate, voters in five states may see a measure seeking to eliminate racial and gender preferences in public education, hiring and contracting. Signatures are being collected and submitted in COLORADO, ARIZONA, MISSOURI, NEBRASKA and OKLAHOMA.

The initiative drives are being spearheaded by Ward Connerly, the conservative black Republican who has become the country’s most prominent affirmative action foe. “Without any doubt, we have to understand that race preferences are on the way out,” he said. Connerly maintains that the success of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton demonstrates that preferences are no longer needed to counter the effects of “institutional racism and institutional sexism.”

The five-state, anti-affirmative action push comes 16 months after MICHIGAN voters approved the Connerly-sponsored Proposition 2, ending preferences in the public sphere there. Tim Asher, a former college admissions officer, who is leading that initiative campaign, contends that a better way to achieve diversity is through programs that target disadvantaged people of all races.  

Thomas Sowell a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, and a black man said Barack Obama “has been leading a double life like Eliot Spitzer.” Obama took the stage to try to disentangle from the horns of a race and religion dilemma he has fashioned for himself.

Sowell said, “While talking about bringing us together and deploring “divisive” actions, Senator Obama has for 20 years been a member of a church whose minister, Jeremiah Wright, has said that “God Bless America” should be replaced by “God damn America” — among many other wild and even obscene denunciations of American society, including blanket racist attacks on whites.”Sowell pointed out that, “The fact that Obama talks differently than Jeremiah Wright does not mean that his track record is different. Barack Obama’s voting record in the Senate is perfectly consistent with the far left ideology and the grievance culture, just as his wife’s statement that she was never proud of her country before is consistent with that ideology.” Sowell doesn’t believe Obama can explain away two decade of adherence to the church’s philosophy, and a long affiliation with Wright, not to mention a $20,000 donation so that voters will disconnect Wright’s philosophy and his and his wife’s own parallel acts and assertions despite any amount of theatrics and glibness. Sowell concludes, “…a black demagogue who has been exposed as a phony deserves exactly the same treatment as a white demagogue who has been exposed as a phony. We don’t need a President of the United States who got to the White House by talking one way, voting a very different way in the Senate, and who for 20 years followed a man whose words and deeds contradict Obama’s carefully crafted election year image.” – HYPOCRISY.

When the assassination of John F. Kennedy horrified a nation, Black Muslim Minister Malcolm X declared it payback for America’s violence in the world, a case of “chickens coming home to roost.” A similar statement to Rev Wright’s.

One in every four teenage girls in U.S. has at least one of the most common venereal diseases, according to a recent study conducted by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Based on the study, the authors conservatively estimate that 3.2 million American teenage girls are infected with VD. The authors say that the total number might actually a bit higher since venereal diseases like Syphilis, HIV and Gonorrhea were not included in the analysis. More than 3 million are infected. The incidence is highest among black American teen aged girls. The infection rate is higher in the U. S. than in Europe.The four common venereal diseases included in the study are human papillomavirus (HPV), chlamydia, genital herpes and trichomoniasis. The study was conducted among girls aged 14-19.
