Up near where I live, there’s a stretch of road with a seemingly endless vista. From this spot almost on the border you can see across the haze of the Sacramento Valley, all the way to the Coastal Range lying against the horizon. The clouds you see in the far distance hang over the edge of the world, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Virtually the whole width of California is within your view. It’s a sight of beauty and grandeur. It’s hard to realize that in just a few decades there will be relatively few men or women of European heritage living in all that expanse, or for that matter in all the rest of California. Oh, there will be quite a few of us left in terms of absolute numbers, despite our shrinking share of California’s growing population - but we will be an ever-smaller minority, with little impact or power. An impossibility, you say? Paranoia? Exaggeration? Not at all. The future will not be like the recent past; incredible events are just beyond the horizon, like those golden clouds peeking out over the far Pacific. I have seen the figures, and they are convincing. We European-Americans face certain marginalization in California and across the country - unless we reverse the situation. The Future of California The facts are not a secret. California Agriculture magazine, an official state publication, informs us in a recent issue that in the year 2030, two-thirds of California’s population will be Hispanic and Asian. That leaves one third, or about thirty-three percent, for everyone else. If African-Americans make up their national average of about twelve percent, and American Indians one percent or so, that means “Whites” will be about twenty percent of the total - or one in five. But that portion includes people from India, Afghanistan, and the Middle East as well, so the figure for people of actual European descent is well below that. Fewer than one in five Californians will be people like us! A few years ago, I charted the declining percentage of California’s European American population on a piece of graph paper. I had the known figures from 1970 through 1990, and mid-range estimates through 2020. Plot the numbers and you get a consistently dropping line, a steady shrinking of our future. If the trend that has held for the last thirty years continues, we will become numerically insignificant by about the year 2060 - well within the lifetime of my grandchildren. This pretty much matches the figures released by California Agriculture. “The End of White America” Don’t feel a sigh of relief if you live in another state, however. All of America is changing. Across the country, the predictions are no better. Ron Unz wrote an article titled “California and the End of White America” in which he notes the decline of our people, but his tone is one of calm acceptance. The current political and ideological establishment assumes that you and I will not object to being shoved off the stage of history. This is the grim prognosis indicated by the demographers, but little noticed by most of us: By the beginning of the next century, the European-American percentage of the United States population will have shrunk to between thirty percent and ten percent of the national total. What to Do? Some will say that the only thing to do is to give up on California and seek refuge elsewhere. But where, then? Idaho? Canada? The Arctic Circle? The North Pole? Will our grandchildren end up herding reindeer on the tundra? Once you start running, it is easy to pick up and move again…and again. No, this is the land to which duty calls us. For fifty years, California has been the magical place where the future was forged. To turn our backs on this ground is to surrender the future of our people, to forfeit the game to others. We stand here - just as our European-American brothers and sisters elsewhere across the country must stand where they are, in their homes, on their special bit of turf. Immigration must be seen for what it is - the wholesale replacement of European-Americans by people of other origins. This invasion must be stopped. But this cannot happen if people like you and me do not care about the fate of our people! The challenge before us is one of heroic proportions. Our task is to give European-Americans a sense of identity and worth, and to instill in them a will to defend their heritage and their very existence. Furthermore, we must do this without scapegoating others or giving in to the seductive drug of hatred. We must be assertive, while honoring and respecting others. You and I both a role to play in this great drama. Let us play it well, with vigor and determination! Instead of a future in which our descendants are marginalized and impotent, let us build a world where they are respected and powerful. Our fate will be what we make it!
