Me too Brad. And I think it's good that there are people that are so concerned. We need people like you sir, that raise awareness. I want your granddaughter to inherit a good, stable, prosperous, and unified America also. I'm just not convinced that the demise of America is imminent. And I'm also not convinced that white folks in the USA are going to be turned into an oppressed minority. Nor will they become irrelevant. As a matter of fact, I see more opportunities opening up for anybody that takes advantage of them. You're right, there's danger ahead for us if we don't solve the problems we face. I just see evidence that the tide is turning. Maybe I'm overly optimistic. But hopefully we will all remain vigilant. I'm actually more concerned with the debts that are being handed down.
I have the same vested interest in the success of this country as you do. My son turned 3 a few months back.
P.S. The reason I'm not so sure the face of America is changing so quickly is through personal experience. My own grandmother from Sinaloa Mexico told me when my son was born, she never thought that decades after she came to America, she would have a great-grandson with blonde hair and blue eyes. Never occured to her. This ain't a racial statement as skin color means nothing to me, but this reflects my whole family from 3 generations out. My own experience is every generation becomes more entrenched in American values and ways. None of us grandkids even know how to speak Spanish. We're all Red, White, and Blue to the core. I know more German from my time serving at Spangdahlem AFB in Europe. I think your granddaughter will be just fine Brad.
