I fear for the leadership of this country in the coming decades, because of that. Their only saving grace it seems, is that everyone will be mixed by then so how will there be a race war?
I have to agree with you. There is one particular network on TV that caters to young people where EVERY couple is either black and white, Asian and white or gay. Kind of hard for the younger generation to be bigoted when the norm is dictated by a liberal Hollywood media.
Our parents were of the Greatest Generation and succeeding generations have become weaker and weaker. Say what you will about the Greatest Generation being wrong in their racial bearing, they were still the GREATEST generation.
And before anyone suggests that my statement is bigoted, I come from a multi-ethnicity family. I have hopes for the next generation, but am also glad that I do not believe I will be around to see them go through their trials and obstacles to keep this country great. Thank goodness. I am sure that if my parents could see us now, they would also be shaking their heads.
