In the world the white race is a minority.
In the USA it is not to far off from becoming a minority.
History shows how harsh things have been done against many.
If you take a long view of how things have been done to people by the w****s you can get an idea of the fear they have of some others gaining power & using that power to do unto the w****s that what has been on them.
By the way I have stated that I am white before.
I have a fear also. My fear is that as more or less powerless person I will be judged to be the enemy & be caught in the cross fire, an enemy of both sides.
It is past the time of using force to get your way.
If our way is truly the best way we should not have to use force to change how people think.
I feel that my long term security is best served by seeking common ground with others & not using the power of the group I am a part of to control them.

Let me say this and I am not disagreeing with anything you have said. I too have a fear. That is that Americans are the minority in a world view. And we are. Not because of color or origins. But because we are a free people.
Over the last 5 years, our position has not been helped by the administration. We are the only free country in the world. All other country's restrict their citizens in some way or another. I realize that we are politically divided. But, it shouldn't matter because we are all Americans.
The one thing that should unite us all is the we are AMERICANS. We have fought against tyranny all over the world. I am not saying that we should have. But, I will say this, we have went into a few war's without a thought about winning the war. I don't know about anyone else, but if I have to fight, I will have one goal and that is to win.
Now, when I look at what is going on in this country, I cringe at the thoughts of what could happen.
Right now, Political affiliation shouldn't be what we are looking at. That would be the differences that divide most of us. Instead of looking at that what do we have in common. We all love our freedoms. We all love being able to come home, and admire our homes that we worked for and paid for. Not all countries allow that.
I stopped listening to speeches by Obama. I did this because, it doesn't seem like he is pulling us together, but rather driving wedges between us. I am not interested in his t***sformational change of America. America has always been unique, simply because we are free. What is his t***sformational change? I have no idea and I have never heard him break it down and say what it is. Have you?
I think there are some who have ideas of what this change is. I know I do. And it scares the hell out of me. I have children and grandbabies, and I want them to grow up as free men and women, just as I did. I am afraid that the chances of that are in jeopardy.
Minorities, I don't know are that important except for one. Americans! that is the only one that counts to me. I could care less what color you are or the origins of your nationality are. If you are an American that is all that matters. Americans should stick together regardless of political affiliation. To quote, Benjamin Franklin when ask what kind of government we have. "A Republic if you can keep it."
My fear is not if I become the enemy, caught in the middle. It is that we may be very close to losing our Republic.
