Whites’ deaths outnumber births for first time (White people need a Snickers)

White people lack color and they dislike this difference - they lack melanin & all attributes associated with it. They are genetic recessive - as the white race cannot reproduce itself when it intermingles or mixes with non-white persons. White plus Black equals Colored. White plus Brown equals Colored. White plus Yellow equals Colored. In other words, White can be genetically annihilated.  [MORE

White people are vastly outnumbered. As the following article indicates they are the vanishing majority in the U.S. and are surrounded by a non-white global majority - whites now represent less than 10% of the world's population --and their numbers continue to diminish. [MORE] and [MORE] and [MORE]. These conditions remain constant and fuel white supremacy. White people practice racism to survive. In the commercial above, a confused white coach is transformed into a competent, mindful Black man after eating a Snickers bar.

From [HERE] More white people died in the United States last year than were born, a surprising slump coming more than a decade before the Census Bureau says that the ranks of white Americans will likely drop with every passing year.

Population estimates for 2012 released Thursday show what’s known as a natural decrease — a straightforward calculation of births minus deaths — of about 12,400 people among the nation’s 198 million non-Hispanic whites.

Although the percentage is small, several demographers said they are not aware of another time in U.S. history — not even during the Depression or wars — when there was such shrinkage among the dominant racial group. No other group showed a similar falloff.

(New Cheerios commercial out the box for white folks. Many whites were outraged at the above. It features a Black man and his white wife. Their brown child, also featured, is the product of their union. Why is this so scary for white folks? It is a not so subtle reminder that white people suffer from color deficiency and numerical inadequacy. White plus Black equals Colored. White plus Brown equals Colored. White plus Yellow equals Colored.  [MORE

Who decided that you were a Black, Latino or Asian person? White people did. They created the race concept. The ONLY purpose of “race” is to practice racism. Who made up the terms "Hispanic", "Latino" and "Negro"? The same people who made up the terms Tostitos, Doritos and Africa! [MORE] and [MORE])

The decrease was offset by 188,000 white immigrants, most from Canada and Germany but also from Russia and Saudi Arabia. And non-Hispanic whites remain the single largest group, making up 63 percent of the country. But demographers were surprised by the outsize drop in births compared with deaths, which the Census Bureau projects will begin happening with regularity by 2025.

“We’re jumping the gun on a long, slow decline of our white population, which is going to characterize this century,” said William Frey, a demographer with the Brookings Institution. “It’s a bookend from the last century, when whites helped us grow. Now it’s minorities who are going to make the contributions to our economic and population growth over the next 50 years.”

A number of demographic and economic factors are behind the slowdown that has been underway for several years.

As a group, non-Hispanic whites are considerably older than anyone else, with a median age of 42. The median age for Asians is 34. For African Americans, it’s under 32; for Hispanics, it’s under 28.

Women with college degrees of all races have been delaying marriage and childbearing to the end of their 20s and beyond, until they have finished their educations and established careers. Once they settle down, they tend to have fewer children. Census figures also show that white women are far more likely to be childless than Hispanic or African American women.

The recession that began in late 2007 exacerbated those long-term trends. Fertility rates have been slowly dropping since 2007. For white women, they are now below the level considered necessary to keep the population at a stable level. During the recession, researchers found that women who had lost health insurance or whose partners were unemployed were reluctant to have more children when they could least afford them.

This latest demographic fall is not the first harbinger of the future: Earlier this year, census figures showed that for the first time in U.S. history, a majority of babies were minorities.

Ken Johnson, a demographer with the Carsey Institute at the University of New Hampshire, said the demographics suggest that many people are deciding whether to have children as if the recession had not ended. Even if fertility rates pick up, he said, there will be just a temporary lull before people born in the 1940s and 1950s start dying in large numbers.

“Once this recession has waned, we’re probably going to see at least a temporary uptick in births until death rates start to rise,” he said.

The decline in the non-Hispanic white population has happened more quickly than demographers with the Census Bureau have been predicting. That’s because births and immigration levels, which can counter the drop, have slowed more than expected in recent years, said Jennifer Ortman, a Census Bureau demographer in the bureau’s population projections division.

Census demographers expect the growth rate for non-Hispanic whites to resume rising — slowly — when the economy improves. The number for whites should peak in 2024, when the oldest baby boomers, who are overwhelmingly non-Hispanic whites, are well into their 70s and dying in larger numbers.

The decrease for whites has little significance in the short term, said Dowell Myers, a demographer and urban planner who teaches at the University of Southern California.

“In California, we roll our eyes at this,” he said. “Whites have been a minority here since 1999. But whites are still a majority of voters. Babies don’t vote. Older people vote. So it doesn’t have any direct functional meaning.”

But Frey said the natural decrease in whites suggests that aging whites will increasingly come to rely on the younger, mainly minority population to underwrite social programs that will sustain them. “Last year, we saw the majority of babies are minorities,” he said. “Now we see more whites are dying than being born. Together, that tells us a lot about where we’re going as a country.”
