For the first time in U.S. history, most of the nation's babies are members of minority groups, according to new census figures that signal the dawn of an era in which whites no longer will be in the majority.

Population estimates show that 50.4 percent of children younger than 1 last year were Hispanic, black, Asian American or in other minority groups. That's almost a full percentage point higher than the 49.5 percent of minority babies counted when the decennial census was taken in April 2010. Census Bureau demographers said the tipping point came three months later, in July....

The census has forecast that non-Hispanic whites will be outnumbered in the United States by 2042, and social scientists consider that current status among infants a harbinger of the change.

"This is a watershed moment," said Andrew Cherlin, a sociologist at Johns Hopkins University who specializes in family issues. "It shows us how multicultural we've become."

NOW, who can answer as to how this: http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/05/arizona_ken_bennett_obama_birth_certificate_birther.php?ref=fpa
relates to the above story?  Here's a hint: The era of white privilege is destined for the history books.

We are number one in many categories.
We are number one world debtor.
We are number one in a service economy where the nation's industrial employment has dwindled to where only 9% of the working forces are turning our natural resources into merchantable products.
We are number one suckers as Corporate America moves our wealth into the South Sea Islands.
We are number one in repairing the kitchen toaster that Japan retails here for $7.00 and we pay the minim wages, social security, health insurance, unemployment insurance, fed and state taxes, plus parts to compete with the new toaster. 
We are number one in taking our wars into the civilian population like we did in WWll into the homes in Japan.
We are the number prize sought by the product glomeration 
We are number one in promoting the trade war in the ME liken the one between Carthage and Rome that destroyed Carthage.
We are the number one fools in agreeing to help the loosing political party in all their internal revolts
We are number one in owning vehicles for lack of any mass transportation.
We are the number one clown of the planet today as the nations of the world gather in our worthless dollar and bring it over here and buy our heritage.
Patriotisms is not a virtue of the immigrants any more than when we placed a bounty on the heads of the Indian tribes who now are buying back their country with our gambling addiction.
When we killed 250,000 of Japan's non combatant men, women, and children Japan started on a 100 year plan to own this land and if one looks around they are on schedule.

I think something about the doors falling off might apply here...or a stitch tightening might be needed.

There are no doors.  The ranch in the mid-west owned by the Japanese is reported to have a driveway from the main highway to the ranch house headquarters some 40 miles long.

Do we need to have a race-tinged discussion on TulsaNow?

Yes we do. You do realize that the culture war impacts economic development, our grand kids, and politics.

Just look at this craziness: http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/05/18/486574/top-conservative-group-minority-births-are-not-a-good-thing-because-immigrants-dont-share-american-values/

Top Right-Wing Group: Minority Births Are 'Not A Good Thing' Because They 'Don't Share American Values'

Yesterday, the New York Times reported on new census data which showed, for the first time, that non-white births made up over 50 percent of all births in the United States last year.
It marked an important milestone, indicative of a changing United States that has long been considered the world's melting pot. Or, if you're the conservative, Phyllis Schlafly-backed Eagle Forum, it's a clarion call that America is in grave danger of being overrun by uneducated, un-American brown people:
It is not a good thing. The immigrants do not share American values, so it is a good bet that they will not be voting Republican when they start voting in large numbers.
[...]
Instead, the USA is being transformed by immigrants who do not share those values, and who have high rates of illiteracy, illegitimacy, and gang crime, and they will vote Democrat when the Democrats promise them more food stamps.
Setting aside for a minute the offensive way in which the Eagle Forum dismisses all of "the immigrants" as thoughtless criminals, it's telling that The Eagle Forum views this as simply a political problem. The Eagle Forum's political allies have long insisted on treating immigrants as second-class citizens, and rather than pivot their policy proposals to better accommodate the nation's shifting demographics, the group seems instead to want to curb minorities' procreation.
The Eagle Forum doesn't dwell on the fringes of the conservative movement either. The group still wields considerable influence in conservative circles, and has achieved more than a few legislative victories, like derailing the Equal Rights Amendment in the 1970s and staunchly opposing bills aimed at protecting a women's right to choose.
The post goes on to accuse immigrants — and, for reasons passing understanding, The New York Times for reporting on this — of seeking to "destroy the American family," arguing that immigrants do not share American values. Of course, this is hardly the first time The Eagle Foundation has pushed xenophobia.

Hope and change.

Forward.

So do we get the special treatment that minorities get ?

You too can have your problems dismissed on account of your skin color and can have racist zoning laws passed to keep you out. Happy now?
