who was the fellow on MSNBC this evening -- Anthony Ghirardas (sp)?
He talked about how this event is not the beginning of something, but the ending of white minority rule and the mourning of it and the panic of the bigoted people.
I didn't exactly catch his name. He was profound, and thoughtful, and I want to share that video if we can find it.

in college. The trumpists only recently and have come unglued.
The percentages typically quoted are skewed, though, because "Hispanic" is not a racial category yet is often subtracted from "white" when discussing racial breakdowns. It counts all who identify with having the Spanish language in their background, or for other reasons identify Hispanic. Many Hispanics are white because their background is European or considered mainly so.
Right now whites are still close to 3/4 of Americans, and I actually wish more whites knew that because it'd ease up on some unnecessary anxiety as the progression continues. Same as I wish more people realized Jews aren't a quarter of the Democratic Party and AA half or more. 
I share his belief in what is really happening in America and the future we're moving toward, most of us with acceptance, the fortunate ones with the belief that the "fundamental through line" that's run all through our nation's history is very real and is right and good. We progress.
"Mourning... A funeral for white supremacy, for an outdated, outmoded male power. What we are witnessing is backlash. These people are not the future, they are the barnacles on the future that is going to happen with or without them."
Yes.
These latest years of their giant reaction and ultimately desperate attempts to break society and take over were triggered (above all among many causes of anxiety) by the extremely belated and terrifying realization of the demographic progression that said Ozzie and Harriet's America was gone and never returning. Maybe it forced a few of the more insightful to realize it had never existed at all, but that kind of honesty is not their strong point.
It's not all about white supremacy and unwillingness to share. We have big problems and huge changes that make the future look like a terrifyingly unknowable black emptiness to some, and they're reacting to the real decline of the lives they once had and expected for their children without realization that this isn't the end.
Biden and his people know that. His reassurance that the future will be good is in every speech. Btw, I took his pointing out that beating the pandemic would also be a jobs program as my own reassurance that they were on the right track. Of course. That's how it's done.
