Laura Ingraham Feeds Right-Wing White Panic

Ingraham's not wrong, but culture is a lot more at the root of her words than race is. The US has done a piss poor job of shielding our culture. Not "white" culture, but American culture. It existed and was celebrated a few decades ago by Americans of all backgrounds. If you entered America as an immigrant, you strove to become an American, adapt to America, and integrate into America. Now parts of America are mirroring the third world s__tholes their predominant emigrants hailed from and yes, that's not only scary, it's an abomination and it's being allowed to happen entirely in the name of "Oh goodie, more progressive voters!"
Well said. If anyone needs context just look at sanctuary cities like Chicago, LA or San Francisco. Places with strict gun control but zero people control. Crime is astronomical as is unemployment, overcrowded schools and increasingly unpayable debt.
People may think they're being charitable supporting such policies but how many people could you invite to live with you in your home at your expense before you run out of food, room and patience?
There's a big difference between panicked and pissed off.

How am I only concerned with the plight of white people? See, again, you prove the point.
If I talk about anything that has to do with white people I'm scared and full of anxiety.
If I talk about immigrants I'm racist.
If I talk about blacks I'm racist.
If I talk about illegal immigration I am a scared racist white person.
The above are the narratives that you promote and attempt to apply to people and especially people you disagree with.
Again, no victim mentality at all. Just simply want to have a discussion without labels.
No, as far as your racist and minority anxiety complex comments....
So, you think it is ok for a 'white child' to be called privileged and ONLY, as you state above, ONLY those based on skin color or country of origin are victims.
Sad thing is you are so blinded you do not see your hate...your hood is showing

Yes, poor kids. Being told they are privileged. Never mind people that are real victims of racism, hatred and bigotry because of the color of their skin or country of origin. Think of the poor kids, right?

Where did I say you were only concerned about the plight of white people?
Are you making things up?
No. It's the things you say that show fear and anxiety. Just talking about anything to do with white people does not do it.
Again, are you making things up?
You are making things up again. I said no such thing.
While you use labels to describe your anxiety. You are concerned that white people are being hated on. You're sick of anti-white rhetoric in moves, etc.
You do not want a discussion. You want to vent your angers and fears about how white people are treated.
That may not be what you intended to do, but that's what you did.
In the context of the conversation we were having, yes.
White kids are not victims, simply because they are told they are privileged. That is absurd.
Still making things up, huh?
Jesus man. Not only can you not follow the conversation and have to lie, you have to resort to idiotic hyperbole that amounts to "I know you are but what am I".
That's ok. I understand why you have to use such tactics. You lack the ability of basic debate/discourse. Gotta be a drama queen about it.

Has nothing to do with agreeing. It has to do with your being dramatic and using obvious hyperbole to make very idiotic points. In fact, you even had to make things up.
There is no need to lie. But you do and you also used "I know you are but what am I" again.
So you seem to be calling me names because you disagree.
Not only are you a liar, you're also a hypocrite.
I also notice how you skipped the responses to your idiocy and lies, and went right for the dramatics.
Not surprised.

What are you getting at? That different racial and ethnic groups should stay completely segregated to the end of time? Compartmentalized within the political borders of their respective "homelands?" Sounds a bit racist.
You're aware that white people have in fact colonized parts of Africa right? You're totally against that? I'm sure you're also going to advocate that we white folks in America hop on boats and return to Europe too? Nah?
And I bet you're really serious about ethnic Russians getting the hell out of Crimea and turning it back over to the indigenous Crimean Tatars that they expelled en masse beginning in 1944 too right? Nope?
I mean lets be logically consistent. Or are there some rules I'm not aware of? Is there like a time limit? How many generations before people in an area become the legitimate residents in your estimation?
Don't worry, I'm just f'ing with you. I'm not at all suggesting that we should hop on boats and return to Europe. What a mess that would be! Where would I even go? My ancestry is German, Irish, Scottish (Ulster Scot at that, so by way of Ireland due to colonization), French, Luxembourgish, Swedish, English (Welsh technically) and Dutch, possibly a tad Jewish (there's some Cohns back there who might be Rhinelander Jews) and about 1/32 native.
Can't really put me back in my proper boxes without some major disassembly.
Anyway, you're conflating colonization and genocide with immigration and you really seem hung up on race. Do you think that black people and white people should be allowed to marry and have children? What if white people and black people just start having kids like crazy? All that miscegenation! "White genocide?" "Black genocide?" Already something like a quarter of all black men in America carry European Y chromosomes thanks to horny slave masters. In fact, nearly a quarter of the average black American's genome is European. What do you think about their European heritage? And how many of these Latinos carry European DNA? Is there like a cut off? Like I dunno, some sort of "one drop rule" that we need to follow? All this DNA testing has revealed that something like 4-5% of "white Americans" have some amount of African heritage. (well technically, if you go back far enough we all have African heritage).
Seems like people are REALLY REALLY bad at staying in their boxes! What a mess! Must be very disconcerting for you.
I'm not really that stressed about future racial makeups. It's not up to me to decide. I'm not trying to plot anything. I don't have any specific agenda in that regard. I kinda think that its inevitable that eventually, given enough time and enough sex, future people are going to be a lot less racially diverse.
Should we cry about it?
Don't get me wrong. I'm an American. I think that America has a good thing going. I don't personally feel guilty about all the # our ancestors did. I don't want to see America dismantled or our culture "replaced." I just don't buy all this hysterical fear mongering. I believe that just like with other immigrants (who conservatives have always freaked out about whatever the year), new immigrants will actually assimilate and their children born here certainly will.
Will that assimilation cause our own culture to change? You bet. Just like when you're cooking out on the 4th of July, eating burgers and hotdogs and throwing back a nice cold lager (all part of American culture and all brought by German immigrants) and you're listening to rock music (with its West African originated percussion) and wearing your blue jeans (denim originated in Italy and riveted jeans were the invention of a German immigrant).
Are you going to say, "God bless America!" ? Do you happen to be of Semitic descent? If not, why are you worshiping some other culture's god instead of the pagan gods of your ancestors? (assuming you're of predominately European descent) And really, why is it that we're all doing this "Western Civilization" thing? Something like 1% of the American populace is of Greek descent. Holy #!
Fact is, all cultures are amalgamations. American culture much more than most. And it's awesome. What's important is to keep passing along the best things.
If you're concerned that the future won't be white enough, go have some kids. If you're concerned that immigrants won't assimilate, stop looking for reasons to be afraid of immigrants and go make some new friends. Having a hissy fit because you think the EXACT state of the world at this specific point in time should be static forever because it's what you're used to is irrational.
Curious question. Would you have a problem with millions of white people illegally entering Africa to the point there are no longer any Black people left in Africa?

Just wait until a severe economic crisis hits that cuts welfare dry. Riots and violence like none seen before. A crisis is hard on the population when everyone is on the same tune, when you have a bunch of different groups that don't mesh with different ideas, that's a; recipe for disaster.
If SHTF, wouldn't be surprised if many of the rich's mansions in california are looted dry.
First as for mass immigration, even in the best of cases it must be regulated and limited to ensure integration and not replacement.
Second not everyone has the same innate capability. Some people believe with good nutrition and environment, pygmies will make it into the NBA, there are no commonly shared differences in innate potential between ethnicities! Height is a social construct! Look at Japan bombed to ashes, nukes thrown on top, and quickly recovered and became one of the wealthiest highest tech lowest crime best places to live.
Look at most of the world. Most nations haven't been bombed to ashes in the recent past. Yet they decay, they are pathetic and they accomplish nothing, nothing at all, so so many failed states.
Didn't brazil recently break their homicide record with like over 60k homicides? How about South Africa, with talks of not genocide at least not yet, songs about murdering white, and their new retarded idea in the making of taking the lands from most of their farmers, farmers that provide food for tens of millions.
How can you not see the difference in innate capability, when some even being bombed to ashes in the recent past shine and succeed greatly while others stagnate and fail without any such tragedy in their recent past.

Some UN documents think talk of importing over half a billion migrants to the west basically destroying the west by replacing it entirely with foreign cultures.

my part of town used to be a ghost town in the 80's now it is booming and infrastructure is great, we have an influx of immigrants and our town is more than %50 hispanic, crime is way lower than when i was a kid, i don't see gangbangers walking up and down the street, no street vendors operating without permits or any of that yet we still have a panicked part of our population attempting white flight further west to "whiter" pastures. i honestly think the fear is unfounded. it is all about your perspective and whether you see the glass half full or half empty.

You ever wonder if 300 years ago the indians sat around the fire discussing this same crap?
"Hey, Wandering Eagle, those Europeans, I caught them showing that book with the funny horizon line and ground to sky line on it to the village's children. We need to do something quick, our society is going to be overtaken by them and their crap."
"Now, now, Squatting Wolf, don't be a bigot. They're different, sure, but they're just doing their best and trying to make it in a strange new land. We should show them a welcoming hand, not a defensive one."
"Wandering Eagle, you're an idiot. These Europeans will be the death of us all."
"Silence your hatred, Squatting Wolf! We are a melting pot here and that means we need to embrace change!"
Years later...
"Hello, Wandering Eagle, it's me, Squatting Wolf."
"Hello Squatting Wolf, long time, no see."
"Wandering Eagle, how is life on the reservation treating you? Remember years ago when I told you dark times were coming... remember that, back when we were free and considered human beings and masters of our own domain, looks like I was right, ya?"
"Shut up, Squatting Wolf, and just read that Bible passage while you drink your damn tea."
Let's not split hairs here, this country as it currently is was founded on a bloody battlefield of cultural warfare and domination purely through a numbers game. Anyone who doesn't look at a tidal wave of foreigners landing on American soil and remember that the nation's first inhabitants were completely and royally screwed under similar conditions, ignores history. Build the wall, close the borders, demand full and total integration from all nonnatives, or we'll repeat the same mistakes of the indians.

I think you are over reading into it. She mentions legal immigration, as a factor in the remaking of American society. But her tenor sounded like her intent was accuracy, not disparaging legal immigrants.
If you were to really have an in depth conversation with many folks, who are upset about illegal immigration, the folks who should REALLY get the brunt of American citizen anger are Congress-critters, both Dems and Reps.
Both political sides make serious $$$ off of illegal immigration. There are places in America, where the transformation of the local community, has been overwhelming, and it also overwhelms the legacy make-up of those communities, as well as the helping resources in those communities.
The professional political class in America WANTS illegal immigration. Period. It fits hand in glove in the bigger picture of the "global marketplace" (code for "cheap labor").
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez seems like a nice person... although, like many socialist leaning folks, has a very poor relationship with the concept of simple applied mathematics.... well, worse than normal anyway.
I think you have to suck at applied math just to run for office... or, looking at Reps and Dems, that's certainly what we would surmise. LOL
