You know, I recognize the illegal immigration problem is one of the largest that faces America and yes there are serious issues about the refusal of these illegal immigrants and their descendants to assimilate to current cultural standards or even to learn the English language.

However, you make a major mistake turning it into a racial issue. There have been great non-white, non-aryan cultures all over the earth. The Mayans & Incans had for their time period extremely sophisticated cultures with advanced architecture, networks of communication, schools, languages and pictographs, etc. The Egyptians, Chinese, & Hindu cultures also have had very sophisticated cultural expression.

What happens, Lee, is that ALL cultures and races that comprise them experience periods of growth and then peak, after which they proceed to stagnate and then retrogress. The US culture is doing just that as we speak. Sure, one can point to larger influx of foreigners but it is the fundamental problem not of the foreigners or cultures who invade and refuse to assimilate - but those who let them.

When the Romans bargained with the vandals and other foreign groups it was not the vandals who were the problem. See? It was the corrupt and decadent Romans who were in decline.

The US has already reached a peak of technological and cultural expression - probably during the 1988-1992 period. After electric power, cars, television and all our electric goods that save personal time and labor - the computers, VCRs and video games that appeared at this point in history were the crowning point of industrial development and capacity, demonstrating the vast luxury and wealth of our masses - and the great blocks of TIME they had now to entertain themselves. Unfortunately, this fixation with entertainment, and the time spent on it by succeeding generations, was also the death-knell of US culture, educational growth and industrial progress.

It is not the Mexicans I blame, but our government, it's representatives and most important of all the cultural lethargy that spurs lazy idealism or "political correctness" and such notions that "diversity" is something glorious by default - when it is not.

Diversity can be good or bad. Like all things. If I have a dining room table with 8 different types of chairs, it will look discordant and be less functional than 8 of the same chairs. Diversity doesn't cut it for dining table chairs. However, when I go to the furniture store, diversity is great when one has a wide selection of types and styles to choose from.

Mixing milk, OJ, Coca-Cola, gin, Kool-Aid and various other brands and types of drinks into one glass and calling it the "diversity" drink which must be better than any of its ingredients by themselves will be demonstrably false. After cleaning the vomit off the floor, one will have hopefully learned that diversity - like everything - has a place when it is beneficial and is not always good.

This is not understood by most. They are like Pavlov's dogs who hear a word and are conditioned to respond in certain ways. Diversity is now a "positive" word and its true meaning is lost in the efforts of people to behave the way they have been told is "enlightened."

This is actually noble. Our nation and Europe are noble places where the masses seek to do good by others. Assimilating immigrants from poor nations, with terrible forms of government and limited education is part of this western nobility. Only recently have some lost perspective of the purpose and twisted this assimilation into the glorification of all foreign cultures. When some of these cultures are actually horribly corrupt, this glorification under the "diversity" banner is quite destructive and retrogressive. These folks, and any who follow them, are going backwards even if they think they are moving forward. Their wisdom is not equal to that of their forefathers even if their hearts want to do good!

Yet again, it is not RACE, that is the problem. The ones who cry diversity the loudest can be of any race. They all share in common a lack of understanding about what I have tried to explain simply here in this post. They all want to be enlightened, but their wisdom limits them in their enlightenment. A jihadist feels he is enlightened too. He feels about jihad the way some university professors feel about diversity. Both are somehow divine manifestations and to both the nobility of their quest is never, ever questioned.

There is no self defining limit for ANY race in regards to intelligence. A genius can come in any skin color and of any ancestry. RACE is not the determiner for intelligence.

The cultures we view as barbaric, primitive or even aboriginal are often arrested cultures. These cultures indoctrinate each next generation effectively and insulate them from more advanced knowledge and understandings. They can be programmed to kill without thought, harm others horribly and justify it under the banner of their religion or culture.

It is not their race that keeps them this way. Almost every arrested culture has examples of those who have escaped the influences and grown to adulthood vastly more intelligent and with broadened horizons. This is true for every single race we know of.

What we see and bias, and often subsequently judge, is the cultures and nations that express with these undesirable traits of violence, diminishing the value of each individual in favor of the masses, and basic inhumanity to others - traits the west has tried to abandon because we find them repulsive. If these cultures are of one predominate race - often folks mistake focus on the race instead of the culture which keeps that race in check. It may seem like circular logic at first but when you think about it, and look around the world, you will see and understand that cultures can short-circuit the growth of their pre-dominant race. This is blatantly obvious in the Muslim world and in communist China where the races are enslaved by the culture.

Egypt, in its day, was probably just as enlightened as the masses found in America or Europe today - perhaps moreso. Even today the pyramids awe us and it demonstrates that enough of these folks possesed a force of mind that could manifest such lasting architecture.

We have built on the minds of the past. Each generation does. Our technological gains are small pebbles added to the great leaps made by folks like Tesla, Volta, Leonardo, Galileo etc. We are reaching diminishing returns because our culture does not value intelligence and progress as much as it does entertainment and slef-pleasure pursuits. In this sense the US, UK, Germany and the rest are in decline.

Unless the priorities are put back in order, the west will be overrun.

But Lee, think about this - the west DESERVES to be overrun if the masses truly are in decline. That is the way nature works. The non-industrious are taken over by the industrious.

Eventually, a new west will emerge from the ashes of the old. Somewhere, someplace the western strengths will reappear even better because they will have learned a great lesson about how an advanced culture deteriorates - even with the best of intentions!

So abandon any prejudice you may hold for smeone based upon the color of their skin and replace it with understanding of the human condition and the minds everywhere that are at varying levels of intelligence and wisdom.

Isolating races does nothing because the rot always starts within.

Hope that helps to clarify things a bit for you. Race hatred is unintelligent because it looks at a picture superficially and fails to see the nuances that make that picture what it truly is. It is like looking at a bowl and hating that bowl because it is more often found filled with apples instead of oranges.
