Daily Kos: Book review: Dear White America: Letter to a New Minority:
"Sometime around 2050, "white America" will no longer be the majority race. The exact date of course is flexible, but some people see the writing on the wall -- in Spanish -- and react like cornered animals, striking out in fear. The election of Barack Obama sent them around the bend, to the comforting homogeny of the all-white Tea Party and Fox News. They see a world in evolution, and hate it. For as long as they can remember, the only voices that mattered spoke with their tongue, worshiped the same god, and generally looked at the world as they did. Obama is just the harbinger, they feel, of the ruination of the country. Turn on any cable news network and you'll hear promises of "taking our country back," as if that were even possible, not to mention desired."
