According to Thomas Chittum. a Vietnam vet, and fighter of 2 other civil wars in other parts of the world, America is headed toward a 2nd civil war. He shows how empires are dominated by 1 minority group which uses an iron fist to control lower classes of people, the subjects of the empire who do not speak the same language or share the same religions, and are not of the same ethnic backround. hile nations are 1 group of people being a majority with similar beliefs, one language, and similar ethnic backround.
He shows that throughout history almost all empires have violently self destructed when the minority that had control was overthrown. With America's fast changing racial demographics he predicts by 2050 when the white population of America falls below 50%, there will be a civil war as America will at that point cease being a nation and instead turn into a multi ethnic, multi cultural, multi language fractured empire of ethnic groups fighting for political, economic, and military power.

There is a big difference between The United States and other countries that would fit in this category, such as African countries; people come here to be a part of the American culture and African people were born there. There is a big difference when it is not your home country and when it is.
RealmOfThePureForms said:That is not true. From the times of the revolution up until 100 years ago, America was 95% European english speaking Christian/Catholic. This fits the definition of a nation. In 1960 , the english speaking European majority has been around 89%. Today it is 70% and is expected to drop 1/2 a percentage point every year for the next 50.

I do not believe that racial issues will have anything to do with it, especially since many of the "non-White" statistics include people with one White parent, or more than one White grandparent. If anything, racial issues will become less prevalent.
No, it's going to be increased public frustration at government policies-- Right or Left is irrelevant-- and a massive economic crash that are going to do us in. Too many of our debts are going to come due, or one of our important trading partners is going to collapse, and our entire debt-fuelled economic house of cards will come crashing down.
Once that happens, and people start looking at who still has valuable holdings, and there will be blood in the streets.
Honestly, most other issues in American and international politics are wholly irrelevant-- unless someone or another uses them as an excuse for firing the first shot.
