Buchanan's sour nostalgia notwithstanding, so-called Whites do not lose when African-Americans and the rest of other-than-apparently-to-the-eye-European-Americans gain political and economic clout. The whole White-Black-Other con is a divide and conquer shell game where low and average income "Whites" chase the self-defeating chimera of White Nationalist identity, electing conservative reps and presidents (Reagan, Bush) who govern against their interests (tax cuts for the rich, aggressive anti-union policies and laws, wars their sons and daughters die for nothing in, a sane health care system denied again and again...)


It is of course not AT ALL a coincidence that a Euro-Afro-American president and Democratic Congress elected by a broad multicultural voting coalition is, we fervently vote and pray, finally on the verge of getting decent health care coverage for ALL of this country.

"Whites" in Obaman America aren't losing anything but a self-defeating con of The Man that's for decades stripped average Americans of basic rights and benefits enjoyed in every other developed country. Candidate Obama got his necessary bulk of votes not from "Whites" voting for a "Black" man, but from wised-up Americans-formerly-known-as-White who saw through the con and shed their useless "Whiteness" to simply vote in their actual, true best interests.

All Americans gain when "Whites" abandon destructive identity politics and vote for their interests, not for preserving some mythical "racial" identity.
