Comments on: Despite the Browning of America, Things May Not Still Be Equal

There was one comentator speaking of this “browning of America” and assigning to White Americans certain motivations for living in communities where we would be less likely to see “tan populations.” I resent that. What makes him think he can understand their motivations, when he is clearly not one of the people about whom he is speculating? What distiguishes HIS assumption with those made by white people regarding other races? That seems unfair to me. He certainly does not represent MY viewpoint. Our community is not diverse, but I would love for it to be. It is an older, very established community, and does not seem to attract many “tan” people, although there are a few non-white families starting to move in, which I welcome.

right! you would not believe how many hispanic people are SO hateful towards black people and will lick the proverbial ballsack of white people even though they know white people see us and hispanics as the same.

we go through the same damn struggles and discrimination, we have the same foods and celebrations most of the time but yet because their skin is a litttttlee bit lighter then they feel like they are better.

right! notice how whenever people bring up beautiful brazilian women, the first people that pop up are giselle bundchen and adriana lima. they never ever EVER show black looking brazilian women. and it’s sad because i honestly didn’t really know that the majority of braziians were black until a few years ago because all i would see is caucasian looking women.

whenever they have exercise videos talking about “brazilian booty workout” or whatever it’s never dark or black brazilans.

Black people are under the illusion that brown people see them as kin and have solidarity with them, but thats not true. The tan just join the white in hating blacks

of course not. humans will ALWAYS try to find a way to be better than somebody else. money,hair texture,skin color, nose shape,penis size, breast size. there will ALWAYS be division amongst humans no matter how the damn same we all are in the end.SMH

The notion that the “beiging” of America will lead to the end of racism is wishful thinking. We know from latin America that all it does is push dark skinned people further down the socio-economic ladder. These bi-racial kids grow up to look down on dark skinned people and feel superior to them based on their white ancestory.

The tanning of a country has never helped the larger black and/or brown populations. You could look at Latin America to see that. Cuba, Dominican Republic, Panama, Brazil. In all of these countries the black and brown populations are the majority, but they encounter the highest rates of poverty, unemployment, and illiteracy. They are concentrated in slums and ghettos that are riddled with violence, gangs, and disease. It is the rich, light-skinned, European minority that still are in control of those countries. America is going to look exactly like these countries in the next 25 years.

Population does not necessarily equal power. Ownership of land and resources, however, does.

Co-sign Curly Sue and I’ll add “Tanning” will never solve America’s race or poverty problems.Many interracial couples and other people of color,blacks included, are raising future white supremacists.Many of them will continue in the direction,politically and otherwise,of “the white man and woman”. They,these black and other people of color, will praise,use their resources to add value to, and preserve, all things white first and foremost at the expense of the poor and whoever is darker.We have blacks as proof of this just take a look at the supreme court.
