Hey, Kids!

Watch this live history lesson about White Demographic Decline direct from the Senate of the United States of America.

Rather than cheering this major historical event, these Republican U.S. Senators are walking out just as the first African American woman, Ketanji Jackson, is selected as a Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Was this planned? “Hey, let’s all walk out together. That’ll show ‘em!”

What they are demonstrating here is White Demographic Decline.

The fact is that there is a steady, inexorable decrease in the white populace as a percentage of the total population in cities, states, subregions, and nations.

This irreversible trend is being recorded in a number of countries and smaller jurisdictions, including the United States of America. Under 18 Non-Hispanic White Americans in the US. had already become a minority in 2020.

Demographers and social psychologists researching racial shift conditions have shown how white people’s hostility to other racial groups increases in proportion to their awareness of a drop in white population share.

The slow but inexorable demographic decline of white Americans to the status of one minority among others has begun to register in popular consciousness, making it harder for anyone to suppose that American identity could still be white identity.

The Senators walking out are merely proving their own irrelevance.
