Ok... I have been reading lots about this GRT thing recently: how it was the motivation behind the terrorist attack and murder in Buffalo in recent days, and how as an idea it has been gaining ground for many years...

I just want to suggest a few things here, not to be facetious, but just to point out some bare facts... On a global level, I'm sorry to be blunt but, white folk (white as in Caucasian, of European descent) have ALWAYS been in the minority. You evolved as a way to adapt to the cooler, less sunny climes in Europe. You adapted and evolved to have white skin so that you would be more efficient absorbing vitamin D due to the lack of sunshine in the areas you settled in and the fact that darker skin doesn't need to absorb vitamin D as well, as sunlight is abundant in Africa, and the high melanin content by nature blocks the harmful effects of UV light (and also therefore, the ability to synthesise vitamin D). But the point is, there weren't that many of you in the first place. It was a splinter group that went off to explore the colder, European terrain, and much as you prospered and created a subset of humans in your own right, you were ALWAYS a smaller tribe.

Yes. There is and has been a decrease in white, Caucasian people over the years. But this is basic science. If you mix a small amount of clear liquid in with a larger amount of coloured liquid, it will be eventually be absorbed. It will alter the colour of the full volume of the liquid, making the darker concentration lighter, bringing all the liquid into one, forever altered colour. I think this is called diffusion.

Bringing that little bit of science into sharp focus, people fall in love with people, not colour nor race, and have children with their partners for reasons of love, chemistry and attraction. Not (as a rule) to maintain 'racial purity' I'm afraid so, yea... Absolute whiteness is indeed disappearing... Being replaced by generations of increasingly more mixed people... Until one day most people will be mixed. Until one day being white will no longer exist.

I am sorry you feel so threatened all of a sudden at the réalisation that you are outnumbered. Truth is, as I've just said, you always have been, and you've known that. It's just for centuries you have benefitted from the dark creations of your ancestors such as slavery and colonialism. Violence used against people of colour, including tactics of divide and rule as a way to perhaps make yourselves feel better about not being in the majority. Maybe you worry that divide and rule ain't working as well as it once used to, because most people of colour now realise that white supremacist ideology oppresses all who are not white - we are united in that oppression... and perhaps that pearly whiteness we have all been taught to idolise for fucking centuries, that you think elevates you somehow, has been shown up to be the propaganda that it is...and is likely to become extinct...and with it, any semblance of the privilege you cling onto so tightly.

The future is bright motherfuckers. It is Red, Yellow, Brown, Beige and Black. It is brightly coloured but no, it is not white, not white.
