Recently, papers all over the world carried news that the population of “Whites” is declining as an overall percentage of the U.S. population.
	According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Whites are about two-thirds of the U.S. population, currently.  By 2042, the percentage of Whites is predicted to drop below 50 percent for the [...]]]></description>

New Orleans throws America’s racial problems in your face with the force of a knockout punch. This past week, during my first visit here, I was struck by the contrast in New Orleans’ neighborhoods. 
When driving through Black neighborhoods, I often found myself passing seemingly endless blocks of ramshackle shotgun houses on dimly [...]]]></description>

Prince William County, Va., has taken a financial hit because of its backward, regressive immigration policies, which require police to check the legal status of anyone suspected of a crime, including traffic violators.	
	Last week, Prince William County jail officials revealed that it went about $800,000 over budget to house undocumented immigrants since the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Keith Rushing
The whole anti-immigrant uproar in this country is primarily due to one thing &#8212; racism. The furor is not about terrorists crossing the borders, or cultural differences; it’s simply about race, and the unwillingness of some people to accept those who don’t look like them.
