Tucker Carlson gets a little panicky about white people becoming the minority in America.

 Courtesy of Vox: 

On his top-rated Fox News show Tuesday night, conservative pundit Tucker Carlson opined on demographic change and immigration in America, saying that though “most immigrants are nice ... this is more change than human beings are designed to digest,” and asking viewers, “How would you feel if that happened in your neighborhood?”

The segment was focused on a National Geographic article featured in the magazine’s April issue. Though the article, centered on the Pennsylvania town of Hazleton, was titled “As America Changes, Some Anxious Whites Feel Left Behind,” Carlson focused his remarks on the growth of Hazleton’s Hispanic population, which has increased exponentially since 2000 — a change that Carlson said “makes societies volatile.” 

But he saved his strongest words for “our leaders ... who caused all this,” who, in his words, live in neighborhoods that “are basically unchanged — they look like it’s 1960. No demographic change in their zip code.” He concludes, “Our leaders are for diversity, just not where they live.”

My favorite line is  “How would you feel if that happened in your neighborhood?”

Perhaps Carlson should have some native Americans on and ask THEM that question.

It kind of sounds as if Tucker is suggesting that the uptick in violence that we have seen is due to the fact that there are more brown people in the country these days.

And his argument is not that THEY are being violent, but that there very presence incites violence from those who were here before them.

Essentially white people, right?

So rather than educate everybody to be more tolerant by teaching our children about different cultures and customs, while trying to create more inclusive activities in communities to unite the people living there, we should instead start blocking nonwhites from entering the country?

Let's call that the "Fox News solution. "

      following Hitler's lead isn't such a hot idea. remember what happened to Germany? we cannot let that happen here. i'm thinking about moving to Canada-such nice people-such a horrible national dish.

  2. I have noticed that all people who live in Alaska have bothered their lifestyles to adapt to warmer clothing and a simpler way of life such as the First Peoples have.

    Not that many sandy beaches are covered with ladies in skimpy bikinis. Bummer.

    WTF does this fox news moron think America is? Fox no news numb brains are the most destructive dangerous idiotic group of nothings on the airwaves. They have caused years of division and ignorance among people that each of us know. It is time for fox no news to be held accountable and dissolved by the FCC.
    People scared of losing the "all white" society made up in their useless head have a rude awakening coming. America is not "all white" America is a melting pot with a constitution, laws, democracy and zero tolerance for criminals rigging elections and brainwashing the ignorant. #enough #metoo #impeachtrumpnow #standup #timesup #arresttrump #banassaultweaponsinusa.

    This was the same argument in the 1960's post civil Rights act, when neighborhoods were desegregated as we're schools. But now, the whites don't all have the middle class income to do white flight to suburbia.

      she won't be running. Biden will, however, and he is just as good. even if cadet bone spurs survives his first, i doubt that, he'll won't make a second even with putin's help. we need to use paper ballots, to be counted by hand under strict supervison. yes i know i spelled it wrong.

      #1 I$$ue ~Abortion = Labor Force

      "In the wake of Trump’s election, voters are especially energized around issues that have sometimes been dismissed as “identity politics” — reproductive and other civil rights. Issues that Newman, who supports abortion rights, made central to her campaign. And even though Newman didn’t win, the fact she came so close is an encouraging sign for the wave of women in difficult races this year.

      Newman came from behind and almost WON"

      She would have won if that had been a CLOSED primary. Lots of Trump deplorables vote for Lipinski to carry him to victory. Illinois needs to change their primary system NOW!

    “This right has assured Americans of their freedom to engage in two critical acts of survival: the gathering of food and the protection of their families by all appropriate means,” Bolton says. “Our right bear arms does not detail what types of arms those may be, an important point that allows for both the evolution of technology and the evolution of responses to threats not then or yet imagined.”
    " Not only did Bolton lie about Iraq having weapons of Mass Destruction—he maintains that he was right to do so."
    "he led an organization that employed disgraced data firm Cambridge Analytica.

    Bolton also has strong ties to Russia. In 2013, as NPR reports, Bolton saluted “a new era of Freedom for the Russian people” under Putin in a video made for The Right to Bear Arms, a Russian gun-rights group launched by Putin ally Alexander Torshin.

    Bolton wanted Russia to loosen gun laws to “better allow for the protection of mothers, children and families.”"

    Sorry bud, but your very own government statistics on race and violent crime do not agree with you. Facts are not racist.

    Oh for crying out loud! When did we all start to act like children in the damned playground? When is America going to adult? We have to stop all this bickering over shit that's unstoppable or we erode. Or the worst case scenerio is that we go full fledge Hitler. That's what the Germans did right? They lost their capacity to think straight and fell to their demagogue's fear mongering and then that horrible human burning siege happened.
    And the people who are supporting guys like the guy in Illinois, are white, and most likely believe in a white god. You know Jesus with the blue eyes and white skin. These are the people who supported Hitler.
    I say, it is a case of children in the playground. Only the children have grown up physically but not mentally.

      Jesus is a metaphor. A myth. The story anthropomorphizes a message. The message is lost when the symbols (the jesus) are concretized, made literal, grasped, made solid, or turned into idols.

      the white man in this country is used to having his own way. black people, women who can speak for themselves,ect are a threat to them. i welcome the change in colour and religion here-i worry about the Muslims, however. meek in this context perhaps those who don't go to war.

    It's happened much faster than that when white Europeans systematically slaughtered the Native peoples of North America.
    But I would like to know why he thinks we need a study on this?
    I think poor Pucker is worried that whites, when they are a minority, will be treated as badly as they have treated minorities.
