America hit a demographic milestone last year, with new census figures showing for the first time more than half the children born in the U.S. were minorities.
That percentage just barely eked over the halfway mark, with minorities making up 50.4 percent of U.S. births in the 12-month period ending July 2011. But it marks a steady trend — minorities represented 37 percent of births in 1990.
As a whole, the nation’s minority population continues to rise, following a higher-than-expected Hispanic count in the 2010 census. Minorities increased 1.9 percent to 114.1 million, or 36.6 percent of the total U.S. population, lifted by prior waves of immigration that brought in young families and boosted the number of Hispanic women in their prime childbearing years.
The numbers also serve as a guide to where taxpayer dollars could be going in the coming decades. With minority populations growing faster than white populations, robust minority population centers are sure to increase in electoral heft in the coming decades.
“This is an important landmark,” said Roderick Harrison, a former chief of racial statistics at the Census Bureau who is now a sociologist at Howard University. “This generation is growing up much more accustomed to diversity than its elders.”

and what is the income of all the minorities having kids?
and does this mean more welfare families?
Mainly Black Americans are breeding like rabbits without regard for such hindrances as being married. The government, aka the White Man, will provide for these “poor” children until they are old enough to vote. Mexicans are illegally entering our country without worries. Have an anchor baby here & they’re good to stay. America is the ONLY country in the world that allows such idiocy. Let’s change THAT, Mr. President!
How about a different point of view. If these breeding increases labeled as “Minorities” are greater than that of the “Majority”, once known as “white people”, wouldn’t this cause a shift in who is the Minority? With these statistics, perhaps the government needs to update who are minorities class. Once the Hispanics and the Blacks breed them self out of the Minority class, they will no longer be able to receive the hand outs they have been leeching from the white working populace, in fact the tables should turn and then the White people will qualify for special grants and entitlements by which they were exempt from due to their skin color. Furthermore, The popular “Affirmative action” laws will protect the Whites rather than the Blacks.
I guarantee if and when the tables turn and the Whites receive these benefits rather than the blacks and the black taxpayer dollars go to fund the whites special minority grants. They will be calling for overthrowing affirmative action – and special minority grants once they no longer fall under the eligibility requirements.
Actually the report reflects a facade of falsehoods.
Hispanics and Latinos were downgraded by the Fed Gov to be an ethnic class, not a racial minority. Even the military has officially cited this change. The reason why is more than obvious when the new figures would automatically downgrade the African American Pop. to be a second class minority if the Hispanics were allowed to be counted as a minority in any manner other than to further the Liberals national racialist propaganda agenda.
It would also reveal the fact that in the last decade and a half the African American Pop. has declined in percentage from 15% to as low as 11.5% (depending on whose numbers you choose to use), chiefly as a result of abortion rates quietly supported by the so called Black leadership.
Next, 63% of those who identified themselves to be ethnically Hispanic on the Census, also identified themselves as White in regards to race. As well, it should be noted that all who chose “Other” under race are counted by the census as White. Also counted as White by the Census are all that claim a North African Nation of Heritage, and/or all Middle Easterner’s are also counted as White by the Census.
The only purpose for including race on the Census, is to further the divisive element utilized by the Illiberal Left to promote or denote their Racialist Agendas.
One of the most Racist of all acts in our country, is the manipulation of race based statistics of the US Census as a divisive weapon to promote the Liberal Lefts Racial Propagandist Agenda.
The second most racist act, is to fall for it, for all the wrong reasons, which is yet another of their hidden traps.
Of course minorities births are in first place because the american taxpayers continue SUPPORTING THE welfare. Do you know how many parents live from the benefits given by welfare? I have been working all my life and didn’t know the many incredible benefits this great country offer to people in need until recently when I lost my job. This benefits surely were created to help taxpayers and real citizens in an emergency, but unfortunately 33% of benefits go to children of lazy parents, 40% to children of illegals and 23% to foreign legal alliens who know about these benefits and move to this great country to abuse from the taxpayers. And NOBODY DOES NOTHING, NOBODY STOPS THIS ABUSE.
LEGAL AND ILLEGAL ALLIENS COME TO USA TO GIVE BIRTH EVERY YEAR AND LIVE HAPPILY WHILE THE DECENT AND HONEST AMERICANS ARE BLEEDING HEAVILY THEIR INCOMES; MANY AMERICANS IN NEED DO NOT RECEIVE ANY HELP FROM WELFARE, WHILE FOREIGN LEGAL AND ILLEGAL WHO NEVER CONTRIBUTED RECEIVE EVERYTHING. OF COURSE, VERY SOON THERE WILL NOT BE ANY MONEY TO PAY THE SOCIAL SECURITY TO THOSE WHO WORKED ALL THEIR LIFE. WELFARE HAS TO BE ELIMINATED AND PEOPLE IN NEED HAS TO RECEIVE HELP ONLY BY THE MEMBERS FROM THE CHURCHES WHERE THEY ASSIST AND PARTICIPATE.
THE BEST WAY TO ELIMINATE ILLEGAL INMIGRATION AND ABUSIVE LEGAL INMIGRATION IS:
