Population trends about Racism
Racial minorities are now over one third of our population. By 2042 they will make up more than 50 percent of the U.S. population. By 2050 the overall population is projected to be 439 million what we call racial minorities today will reach the 54 percent majority mark. Structural racism must be defeated. What kind of society will this be when the majority are subjected to severe racial oppression. If things don't change that is what we face.
Make no mistake; much of the panic that the right wing promotes over immigration is about a deep-seated fear that we are becoming a fully integrated multi racial democracy. The election of the first African American President shows that a majority can be won to reject racism. With united struggle that is where we are headed.
We are hopeful comrades. The broad democratic alliance that won in 2008 is back on its feet and is becoming more united in struggle. Racism can be defeated and that is what we intend to do.
