White Dominance

When I was in college in the 1970s, I knew a guy, the son of an extremely wealthy family in Vermont, who was furious that the white race in the United States was being polluted by interracial marriage.  “Soon,” he said, “We’ll all have slanty eyes, flat noses, and thick lips. What’s the matter with preserving the White Race in America?”

That was more than 50 years ago, when thinking like that was associated with Neanderthals.  Now, we have half of the electorate voting for the full-on racist Donald Trump.  We can only live in astonishment as to how far into tribalism and ignorance we’ve fallen since.
