Buchanan tells Hannity that U.S. having only 10% African Americans made country, culture "strong"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Hannity then quizzed Buchanan about the chapter in his book called "The End of White America." Buchanan said that he was merely trying to push back against the idea that the end of the country's white majority was a good thing.

"Why can everybody else celebrate this and say it's wonderful, and I can't even write about it without being blacklisted?" he said. "...I don't know why they say this is going to be better when there's a smaller percentage of white folks."

Hannity asked if Buchanan really meant to warn against cultural, and not racial, shifts in the country. Buchanan rejected that idea.

"If you remove the ethnic core of the country...I think you imperil the unity of the country and the culture," he said. "...My point is, an ethnic core -- in other words the fact that we were a Western and European people predominantly and we had 10 percent African Americans -- this was one of the strengths of this country as well as the culture."

1. They don't have two brain cells between them.

[athenasatanjesus]

8. They do,now if they could only move those brain cells into that thing in their skulls.

[lpbk2713]

2. Well that figures.

After Buchanan was fired from his last job, it's no surprise that Hannity
is the only TV interviewer left who cares what Buchanan thinks.

5. "Hannity is the only TV interviewer left who cares what Buchanan thinks"

Wish that were true because Tweety spent his last 5 minutes singing the praises for that jackass ("his friend&quot last night as his parting comment.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

6. Tweety's "eulogy" was downright embarassing

It's his show, and his right to offer those sentiments (and apparently, MSNBC didn't object), but his attempt to bolster the man's integrity were just as embarrassing as his swooning over George W. Bush in the "Mission Accomplished" flight suit.

4. Buchanan is a breed of dinosaur heading for extinction

If you can't accept and adapt to change you have no future. Everything changes. One day there probably will be no white, black, or brown race on this planet, but a homogeneous light brown people with black wavy hair and a global culture as people intermarry. After that, brand new cultures and races might develop and become more diverse if people start moving into deeper space and evolving in isolation.

11. I think he's headed for Fox News

He fits their profile perfectly.

[MellowDem]

16. I doubt that...

everyone will be a homogenous light brown. That assumes that there will be almost constant heavy movements of all the peoples of the world all over the world, which will likely never happen.

The places that are mostly white/black/brown or what have you now will for the most part likely stay that way, though they of course could change at local levels, especially metropolitan areas with constant movement of people in and out of the area.

I think pressures on energy resources will make such mass movement that would be required impossible in the future and create ever more localized communities as "moving" becomes less feasible or necessary. Perhaps in a world with unlimited resources and a one world government (think "Star Trek" like), that could happen over thousands of years. But I guess I don't see such a utopian future for humanity, haha.

Right now, immigration numbers are so small generally, even in nations that allow a lot of it, that all that really happens is that the nation slowly absorbs the immigrants over hundreds and thousands of years, and there is little discernable change.

I do think perceptions of race by skin color, which is merely a social construct, will continue to change to perhaps the point of irrelevance one day, just like hair and eye color are fairly irrelevant right now.

Buchanan can take comfort in the fact that Hispanics are for the most part classified as white under the US census. Which really just shows the whole silliness of the social construct. Buchanan fears ethnic extinction, and like many right wingers, his fears are based on ignorance and paranoia. Ethnicities change constantly all over the world, as does culture, even without immigration, so Buchanan seems to be fighting a battle that can't be won. Not to mention, the "ethnicity" he clamors for was only created out of the evolution of other ethnicities and cultures.

7. It sounds better in the original German.

"Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer!"

[Arkana]

9. That's funny.

I thought something similar--if Buchanan and Hannity both were wiped off the face of the earth, America would be stronger then too.

[Honeycombe8]

10. What is the % of Af. Americans in the U.S. population now?

He mentions 10% was good. I thought it was still 10%, but there are now increasing numbers of other races and ethnicities.

Just a question about the facts.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

12. 12.6% in 2010

[Honeycombe8]

17. Thx. I'm guessing Buchanan is upset about the combined % of minorities, not just...

Af. Americans. And the fact that whites will be a minority in the near future. If you want all white, then I guess a person would be upset by that.

[Shankapotomus]

13. Does this guy hear himself or what?

I can't beleive he is held up as one of the honored representatives of Conservative thought. Hey, if he feels more freedom to shoot off his mouth and reveal what Conservatives really feel at Fox then let him. Nothing will bring down Conservatism faster than a celebrated bastion of conservative thought prattling on, unconscious of his own blatant racism.

[sibelian]

19. He is literally too stupid to know how stupid he is.

These people are on the way out.

[sarcasmo]

14. Pat, bat shit crazy! Buchanan.

Every time he opens his mouth, shit comes out.

[Number23]

18. "Batshit Buchanan." Has a nice ring to it!

[Initech]

20. If you haven't seen the movie Big Trouble you should.

There's a line in it: "Arthur Herk. One of the few Floridians who was *NOT* confused when he voted for Pat Buchannan."

[Botany]

15. Hey Pat! Don't ever get a blood transfusion or allow a family member to get one.

Because Dr. Charles Drew, a black man, figured out a way to have
people live w/ plasma and blood transfusions ..... Early on WW II
Dr. Drew set up and ran a program to help save British Soldiers
and civilians lives w/ a blood and plasma program. The people
he saved were of european culture.

I wish somebody would ask Pat about how he and his brothers used
to beat up Jewish kids walking home from school.

[Zalatix]

21. He'll say white culture made it possible for Dr. Drew to come up with that.

These white supremacists always find a way to suspend disbelief.
