Doom and Gloom. The glass is not just "half empty,"
It is leaking. It is worst than ever.
" The sky is falling. Heaven is coming to
Earth and will be consumed by Hell on Earth."
So says Doomers and Gloomers. Their fellow-
travelers are: pessimism, hopelessness, despair,
dim view, expectation of worst.
Every thing is getting worst, especially in the
United States. It will be worst for African
Americans who have always been the most
abused and mistreated people in America,
having been slaves for 244 years and since
subjected to lynching, segregation, discrimination
and mass incarceration. They are going to
become extinct in America, same as the
dinosaurs.
Doomers and Gloomers don't tell you that
none of these things have defeated African
Americans. They have only been stumbling
blocks. As we will see their population continues
to increase.
The focus here is on African Americans,
as Doomers and Gloomers forsee their
genocidal plight.
Facts. In 1930, (I could say the year I was
born) the population of the United States was
123.1 million:
Whites 108.864.207 (88.7%)
African Americans 11,896.143 (9.7%)
Eighty-seven years later in 2017, the United
States population was 325.7 million:
Whites 235,507.457 (72.3%)
African Americans 41,393.491 (12.7%)
Projections for 2050. According to the
Census Bureau, based on the 2000 census and
the Pew Research Center, the population of the
United States will be 438 million in 2050.
Whites 201.3 millon (47%)
African Americans 65.7 million (15.5%)
Hispanics will make up 29% of the population
in 2050.
Just thinking about Whites becoming a
minority in 2050 with 47%) of the population
is more than some Whites, even today, can
stomach, so to speak. And to recall that in
2030 Whites made up 88.7% of the population
and in 2050 will make up only 47% of the
population is heartbreaking for some Whites.
It would be well for Whites to be aware that
before Columbus discovered America, if you
want to believe that lie, that the Whites and
African Americans populations in this land called
America were zero. But at that time and before
this land was populated with aborginal
inhabitants. Never mind their true name that
we call Indians and Native Americans.
What has been said about the "Advocacy of
Doom and Gloom" pessimism regarding African
Americans applies to America in all her
ramifications, especially regarding her
institutions. In a word, Doomers and Gloomers
say "America is going to the dogs." Observing
the exponential increase in the dog population in
recent years, it's hard to disagree witth them.
But the Doom and Gloom advocates are really
saying America is going to become bankrupt
morally and a fallen nation - a weakling among
nations of the world, underling to China, India
and Russia in power and influence.
There is a Biblical Scripture which says:
"But any prophet who dares to speak in
My name that I have commanded him to
speak, or to speak in the name of other
gods, that prophet must be put to death."
- Deuteronomy 18:20 NIV
How should Americans, especialy African
Americans, deal with Doom and Gloom prophets
and prophetesses?
I await your answer.

I have to remind everybody that each year statistics taken of well-being throughout the world are showing that the world is getting better, in spite of some very serious problems on the horizon that we can solve if we stop fighting over little things like race and work together on these really big problems, like overpopulation and global warming. These are two cases where "growth" is not a good thing.
