Will all our political problems be solved after old white people die off?

[pramod]

Maybe in about 10 years? Or 20, at the latest? Will political and societal utopia arrive once whites are a minority in this country?

I wonder what politics will be like then? The GOP will be long dead for sure, or at least transformed into a much more moderate centrist party. Once the entire country is controlled by minorities, and we already have single payer and free college and unfettered immigration, what will be the most important political issues left? Will there even be much interest in politics, at all, at that point?

I'm thinking maybe even revoking the 2nd amendment might be possible. One can only dream.

Haha, no.

We have struggled to get along for millenia, regardless of politics, race, genders, etc.

 

[shnurgleton]

No

 

[Aurongel]

If you think discrimination and classism ends with the white majority then I have bad news for you.

 

[Einbroch]

Those old people had kids, so unfortunately, no. Lessened, sure, but it's going to take many generations.

 

[Deleted member 32374]

Don't worry about the death of politics. We'll find some way to fight about the distribution of resources.

 

[eZn]

No. Have you met millennials?

 

[Shadybiz]

No. Look at Charlottesville. There are still plenty of young white morons to go around, who will continue to vote against their best interests, because "snowflakes" and "mah 2nd amendment rights."

 

[BFIB]

No, because kids are already being indoctrinated now.

 

[Monodi]

It won't, especially as white supremacy is a taught "value". There are people already younger than me sympathizing with nazism.

 

[EdibleKnife]

No because their descendants share the same ideals and those ideals are hard coded in the foundation of this society. We've literally seen just this year multiple millennial aged people who staunchly believe in black oppression, trans marginalization and female submission. Racism didn't end when the old white people who piloted those first slave ships to land on the new world died. It didn't end when the Confederate veterans died. It didn't end when the people who siced dogs on civil rights activists died. It most certainly isn't going to end after David Duke or Sessions.

 

[Deleted member 9135]

Yes, because we know virtue is an inherit consequence of skin color, OP. Great job cracking the case. And to think they almost got away with it too.

 

[ldcommando]

yes

 

[Neo C.]

No, talk with all kinds of people - young and old - and get an infinite number of bad opinions.

 

[Beardz]

OP, what do you think about the following question:

Will all our racial problems be solved after old black people die off?

 

[Assisted Living Dracula]

Come on.

 

[kickz]

Nope, kids and all that.

And they out breed libs by alot

 

[Rangerx]

No there is zero chance of that. Every people, ethnicity and nation on the planet has political issues. Yours is an incredibly simplistic view.

 

[Luschient]

I lol'd after each sentence I read.

Outstanding troll work.

 

[FireSafetyBear]

Explain Ben Carson

 

[atomsk eater]

No? Bigoted old people had plenty of time to spread their beliefs to their kids and others, who carry the tiki torch. And there are plenty of younger folks who are indoctrinated into such beliefs in a variety of ways.

 

[Poppy]

if you are hoping for an end to stupidity any time in the reasonable future i am afraid you have the wrong idea

people will continue to suffer at the hands of one another probably until the last of our species is dead

My mind immediately jumped to him too.

 

[gutter_trash]

nope, because young people have taken to social media brainwashing and doubling down

 

[Deleted member 2779]

... I wouldn't hold your breath.

 

[Omegasquash]

Bait?

 

[Brian_FETO]

People grow up in an environment with a certain worldview, then they find pockets of the internet that align with that worldview (with the most extreme cases being something like 4chan or whatever)

Even if someone isn't knowingly a full blown proud white surpremacist or something you still have people growing up thinking that other people are dangerous, large quantities of minorities = dangerous, etc

 

[The Silver]

dude what the fuck, NO

 

[Goldenroad]

LOL. Yeah, I bet people were saying that in the 1800's. "Once all the old Slave owners die, we'll all be living in harmony." People are just assholes and worse than that, they are getting stupider everyday. Things are going to get a lot worse before they get any better.

 

[GameAddict411]

No, if you have studied any sociology, you will notice that racism, xenophobia and general attitude towards certain things are inherited to some degree. Not genetically or by birth, but by being exposed to their parents over the years. It's true that it's common for children to reject their parents ideology to some degree, but many more choose to believe whatever their parents believe.

 

[John Rabbit]

No. There isn't some grand cliff that's going to occur culturally once Boomers die off. Will it get better? Probably.

If you think the GOP are the only one's interested in giving corporations what they want and bilking the American taxpayer out of millions of dollars for college, healthcare, and other basic necessities then you REALLY need to take a look at the current state of American politics. The Democrats are not some unified,shining beacon of everything "right" with the world. Half of the Democrats in office would be considered centrist or even right of center in other more progressive countries. Bernie Sanders can barely talk about free college tuition without being labeled as the 2nd coming of Marx.

 

[Deleted member 29660]

Being old and white ain't the sole evils in the world or the cause of them. They do contribute, not the sole cause.

 

[TissueBox]

Uhhh well if the Nuremburg Trials, Postdam Agreement, and an entire war wasn't enough to take out Nazis, then neither will anything else.

The fight will always continue until the death of ethics. That is my happy-go-lucky view. ^^'

To be honest, I have no idea. Black Americans seem to have their own unique set of challenges different from other minorities, that might require all other minorities to work with them to resolve. But I'm not sure how likely that is to happen, for example it doesn't seem to me that black and hispanic communities cooperate much with each other.

 

[Taurus Silver]

Nope. There are young white people who view the world just the old white people do.

 

[John Dunbar]

old white people is a renewable resource.

 

[LionPride]

........No

 

[JORMBO]

This is a terrible thread.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

All those kind Nazis at Charlottesville were in their 20's and 30's.

 

[ianpm31]

Majority of college students are pushing towards the progressive realm. I'm not sure how long it will take until we reap the benefits though

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

I have a hard time believing that this isn't a troll thread.

 

[Mammoth Jones]

Not a fan of the question to be honest. Cause it feeds into the "White people are under attack" narrative.

That being said there are plenty of young shitheads regardless of color to fill the gaps to keep man's inhumanity to man right on spinning.

 

[RockTiddies]

of course, why let's just look at other countries where white people aren't the majority or ruling class and this is already true such as...

 

[ironcreed]

Us evil old white folks, huh? Nice generalization there.

Until they become the ones in charge and younger, even more progressive, people become the ones screaming at them for being assholes.

 

[Sulik2]

Nope, look at Ajit Pai, plenty of scumbags aren't old white racists.

 

[ZoSo006]

While it would certainly be an improvement, racism isn't exclusive to old white people unfortunately.

 

[sangreal]

The GOP is not old at all and neither are a lot of their supporters, such as the alt-right

Democrats are having a much harder time coming up with young talent

 

[sphagnum]

There will ways be political problems. Half the problems we deal with in the US could be severely ameliorated, however, if capitalism was replaced.

 

[Commedieu]

Nope. It's culture.
