White fragility, snowflakes are great definitions for those most being impacted by the demographic shift taking place
"The indignant defensiveness we may display when confronted by racial conflict is “white fragility.” White people are losing the luxury of non-self-awareness, an emotionally complicated shift that they are not always taking well."
Being white in America has long been treated, at least by white people, as too familiar to be of much interest. It’s been the default identity, the cultural wallpaper — something described, when described at all, using bland metaphors like milk and vanilla and codes like “cornfed” and “all-American.” Grass is green, the sky is blue and, until very recently, a product described as “nude” or “flesh-colored” probably looked like white people’s skin.
"Twenty-five years ago black people were the lost population,” and “black intellectuals were on the defensive,” Darryl Pinckney observed this month in The New York Review of Books. “Now white people are the ones who seem lost.”

Group instinct & the white tribals of America
While the rust belt voted Trump, it wasn’t because of its economic plight. The reasons were born of political tribalism.
White American Christian men out of work or in low paying jobs did not vote for Donald Trump because he promised them financial succour, they voted Trump because of a primordial need to preserve their status as a dominant cohort in society while faced with a tidal wave of multicultural migration, says Mutz.-

That fear comes from knowing the privilege that they so blindly enjoy is soon nearing its end.
They hate that notion and fight intensely to see that their fears do not become a national reality.
The demographic shift is like a comet hurtling toward white sensibilities. For so long, laws that banned interracial marriage coupled with government-sanctioned segregation worked to ensure robust birth rates of rosy-cheeked, blue-eyed Caucasian babies.
It was all done in hopes of maintaining the concept of America as a nation created by and for white men.
However, according to research from the National Center for Health Statistics, the death rate among white Americans outpaced birth rates in 17 states in 2014.
That same demographic is dying faster due to an alarming number of suicides coupled with drug and alcohol abuse, while minority communities thrive.

Stick with those stereotypes of residents of the rust belt and fly-over states. The Democrats made that mistake the last time. The Internet has changed everything.

guno's focus on Race politics is interesting. If he were talking about black people and Muslim people, I wonder what the normal reaction to his speech would be?

"goono is the seed of satan"
That's interesting. All this time I thought it was 'ThatOwlWoman'.
the seed of satan is positively, easily identified by the wotd of their testimony and their false apostate testimonies. earth is filled with the seed of satan and is cursed forever. perilous times.

as I said before; it is necessary that evil is created for the day of evil and the unclean spirits of the damned would only rejoice in the murder of a witness of Christ ["white christer"]; thinking and believing that the murder of Christ's witnesses ["white christers"] is victory. that is how evil rolls.
