400 Million: Racial categories will be more fluid when U.S. hits next population milestone
By Associated Press
Saturday, October 21, 2006 - Updated: 02:10 PM EST
Now that the nation officially numbers more than 300 million, what next?
What will 400 million look like?
If demographers are right, we’ll hit that mark by 2043. They and other futurists envision a typical American neighborhood that year will be something like this:
More than likely it’ll be located in the South or West, despite scarce water resources and gas prices that make $3 a gallon look like a bargain. Barely half of the community’s residents will be white, and one in four whites will be senior citizens. Nearly one in four people will be Latino and multiracial Americans will be commonplace.
“We’re going to be growing for the next 50 or 100 years, but it’s not because of the birthrate,” said John Bongaarts, vice president of the Population Council, a nonprofit in New York. “If the birthrate were to drop we’d have a very different future ahead. If we were not living longer and had no migrants we wouldn’t be growing at all.”
The U.S. will keep getting more racially and ethnically diverse - by 2043, it will be about 15 percent non-Hispanic black, 8 percent Asian and 24 percent Hispanic.
Ideas about race that hold sway now, simply won’t then, just as the attitudes of 30 years ago have changed.
For example, in the 1970s one in three whites favored laws that barred marriage between blacks and whites; in recent years it’s barely one in 10.
More than 7 million Americans reported in Census 2000 that they were multiracial - 42 percent of them were under age 18.
“The racial lines will basically be blurred,” said William H. Frey, a demographer with the Brookings Institution. “It’s hard to say what the different classifications will be. ... The stark racial categories now won’t hold.”
Mixing and melding will be the norm for today’s children, who by 2043 will be moving into positions of power across society as the last baby boomers close in on 80.
“Think of the electoral base,” said C. Matthew Snipp, a sociologist and demographer at Stanford University. “It seems likely that the power structures will change.”
Demographers say some of today’s trends will continue: Rust Belt cities like Detroit, Pittsburgh and Cleveland will probably keep losing population, though some argue that lower costs of living may attract people who can telecommute to jobs elsewhere.
The fastest growing states will continue to be Nevada, Arizona and Florida. Census projections through 2030 show the Sun Belt continuing to gain population.
With some cities and suburbs becoming more densely populated, far-out exurban areas will keep growing - which will probably mean longer commutes and more demand for gasoline. Demographers predict costs for gas and water, now relatively inexpensive, will mushroom.
Lifesaving drugs and technologies will help Americans stay alive longer than ever - and the nation overall will age.
In 2000, 12.4 percent of Americans were aged 65 and older - but that percentage is projected to jump to 20 percent by 2043. More than one in four residents of Florida, New Mexico, North Dakota, Maine, Montana and Wyoming will be over age 65.
Here’s another way to think of the senior boom: Between 2000 and 2050, the group of Americans who are 85 and older will nearly quadruple to almost 21 million.
The good news is this will help revitalize rural, retirement-friendly places with lots of natural amenities like the nation’s Western mountains and some Great Lakes areas, said Kenneth Johnson of Loyola University-Chicago. “These tourist and retirement destinations are the fastest-growing rural areas,” he said, adding that this is attracting workers - many new immigrants - to build houses and tend hotels.
But a big bubble of elderly Americans also will strain Social Security and Medicare, and there will be “big battles” over how to pay for them, Bongaarts said.
Demographers repeatedly warned that projections are iffy - things change.
Expected medical breakthroughs may not happen. World events - wars, diseases, economic ups and down - can stop or speed up immigration. Americans could stop having enough children to replace themselves, which they’re just barely managing now. Things that seemed a lock just a short time ago can be thwarted.
Two years ago, for example, California officials downgraded by 15 percent their predictions for state growth, mainly because Latino families were having far fewer babies than expected. When the U.S. hit 200 million people in 1967, the nation was supposed to reach 300 million before the end of the century.
“Nobody really knows for certain where this will go,” Snipp said. “All this is premised on many, many assumptions.”

That report doesn't take into account the 30 million illegal aliens who'll soon be legalized, many of whom will subsequently bring in their families, as well.
Nor does it include the 50 million foreigners who visit the US, annually. Millions of them never leave.
So forget "border security". There are already enough muds here to drown us in a sea of color - thus the inevitable extinction of the White race is guaranteed unless we (1) free ourselves from the Jews, and (2) negotiate with the jew-wise muds for our own White nation of 2 million square miles located in northwest US and western Canada.
As impossible as that seems now, it's a hell of a lot more possible than kicking out the 125 million muds already here, while allowing the jews continued control over the government, the media, and money.

If the American economy ever nose dives into a depression, I'd be curious to see who would be the first to leave the country.

This is exactly where White racialists need to be on longterm strategy, as Rounder so succinctly puts it, forget about racially cleansing the TENS OF MILLIONS of muds already here, assuming Whites had the stomach for that kind of brutality which they don't, logistically it will amount to a nightmare, consuming so much manpower and resources as to make it prohibitively costly.
If WNism can blossom in the Kwa, which is by no means a certainty, it MUST negotiate and rally the colored hordes against the jew menace, failure to do so will result in the jew organizing the colored hordes to extinguish the White race, as the jew is currently doing now. Given their sheer numbers racially cleansing them will be impossible, HOWEVER, creating a peaceful partition of the Kwa is certainly possible, and much to the advantage of Whites and White racialists.
If our ideas and thinking are correct, as regards the biological laws of the universe, then within a short time, perhaps a matter of decades, the colored areas of the Kwa will be ripe for reconquest as their numbers diminish due to "natural" causes, providing of course that Whites can hold and keep their territory racially pure and provide NO MATERIAL ASSISTANCE to the colored territories.
I seriously doubt given the current trends that birthing a White nation in the Kwa carcass will happen, but if it does, Rounder has outlined how it must happen. When the European man had conquered the world, our race had the luxary of making unilateral decisions, after all, we reigned supreme, sadly that is no longer the case today, and without allies against the jew and the Asian jew, a White future will be bleak indeed.
The mob was heading in, to ransack and loot the apartments of the terrified old men and women. When the troopers arrived, M-16s at the ready, the mob threatened and cursed, but the mob retreated. It had met the one thing that could stop it: force, rooted in justice, backed by courage.-

I opine those estimates will become a reality way before 2043.

I wouldn't be surprised if pure whites were already a minority. There are millions of clowns with mixed arab, jew, and gook blood running around calling themselves 'white'. Hell, a significant percentage of Italy are arab mixes that call themselves "Italian". These people need to be reigned in and sterilized. And the jews laid waste for the very real genocide of an entire series of nations and for inventing the holocaust lie to shame us from vengeance.
What we do claim is that the northern European, and particularly Anglo-Saxons made this country. Oh, yes; the others helped. But that is the full statement of the case. They came to this country because it was already made as an Anglo-Saxon commonwealth. They added to it, they often enriched it, but they did not make it, and they have not yet greatly changed it. We are determined that they shall not. (Congressional Record, 4/8/1924, 5922)

There are quite a large number of people in the South who have 1/2 or 1/4 or 1/8 Indian ancestry.
A lot of the so-called "White-trash" is,in fact, mongrel trash. Small Southern towns are full of these people. Their Injun physical features don't really 'show' until they hit middle/old age,then it becomes obvious to anyone with a trained eye.

Unfortunately I do too . That's not even taking into account Bushy and the jews' plan to turn Canada , the USA and Mexico into the 'North American Union' . How soon then ?

The first ones to flee will be members of the "global overclass" who view the U.S. as nothing more than a temporary base of operations for capital extraction. These types have vast landholdings outside the U.S. and will make a break for pre-prepared hide-aways if things ever start to look truly dicey.
