- Study says white Americans feel their status is threatened in recent years
- This is leading some to support movements that would 'restore' position
- The study says this may explain support for Tea Party and Donald Trump
Many white Americans now believe that their hierarchical standing is being threatened by minority groups, leading them to support political forces that would help restore the status of whiteness, a new study claims.
Through a series of online experiments, a Stanford University sociologist found that heightened levels of racial resentment were tied to greater support for the Tea Party in white participants.
The study suggests that the perceived decline of whiteness prompts some to align with platforms that condemn minority groups and they say this mindset may be at play in the rise of Donald Trump.

Through a series of online experiments, a Stanford University sociologist found that heightened levels of racial resentment were tied to greater support for the Tea Party. Pictured above, protesters gather to oppose the arrival of buses carrying undocumented migrants in 2014
According to Stanford professor of sociology Robb Willer, this trend began with the election of President Obama in 2008 and grew through the Great Recession, along with the rising political influence of minorities in America.
The team, which also included Matthew Feinberg of the University of Toronto and Rachel Wetts of the University of California, Berkeley, conducted five survey-based online experiments involving 1,329 participants.
In the first, white participants were shown altered photos of President Obama.
Those who viewed an artificially darkened picture of Obama were more likely to express their support for the Tea Party, at 22 percent, compared with those who were shown a lightened photo, at just 12 percent.

According to Willer, the findings suggest the threats to racial status have caused some to turn to support for the Tea Party, and likely Trump, based on their advocacy of certain policies, including restrictions on immigration, opposition to Obama, militant positions toward Muslim nations.

'And there is good reason to think that many of the same psychological forces propelling Tea Party support also propel support for Trumps candidacy. Indeed, Trumps statements probably go further in criticizing minority groups than the Tea Party did.'
What was largely implicit in the case of the Tea Party has become more explicit in the case of Trumps candidacy Willer said.
According to Willer, the findings suggest the threats to racial status have caused some to turn to support for the Tea Party, and likely Trump, based on their advocacy of certain policies, including restrictions on immigration, opposition to Obama, militant positions toward Muslim nations.
The researcher says these policies would help to 'restore the standing of whites in America.'

The white race is failing because of the selective massive immigration of people selectively chosen for their social and genetic inferiority and incompatability. The white race's perception of it to be suppressed and intimidated by calling it racism. It was the strategy designed many years ago by the Frankfurt School under Lucacs and Gramsci with the ultimate goal of destroying Western civilization. The strategy has been applied very succesfully over decades. Europe is now on its last legs and America is being set up for the final kill.

Can they stand up unaided, too many big macc's?
Skin colour doesn't matter, we were told long ago to expect a change over generations as migration happens with the darker skinned italian and spanish among us and the turks and the lebonese and now the iraki and the indian and the pakistani and chinese have been among us for generations. Did I miss someone out, goodness, the african, been around for hundreds of years, but the black gene is recessive to white, so no matter how hard you try, white is with us.

.... it is addicted to the fantasy of sex-without-consequences, and in pursuit of that chimera has contracepted and aborted 38 million of its own children over the past 50 years. The resulting demographic hole has been filled by others, and will continue to be filled by others.
Demographics is destiny. The White Race somehow believes that it will remain in possession of a land that it refuses to fill. Instead, the whites age and age, while the Hispanics have many children and immigrate.
Trump's wall will slow the trend, but the Pope got it right all of those years ago: choose contraception, choose death - in this case, the death of the race.

No, they are co-dominant. White parent and black parent produces olive-skinned child.
Olive skinned parent and olive-skinned child generally produces olive-skinned child.

Does the Pope have a way to feed an exploding population absent contraception?

Asia's and Africa's populations have exploded. They're not Christian. The non-Christian populations of Europe have exploded. Latin America's population has risen, but they're not starving. Meanwhile, in North America, most people are Christian, and the fast-growing element of the population is quite Christian - Mexicans are mostly Catholic. The Whites, in particular, contracept, and so it is the whites, in particular, that are declining in Europe and in America, and Canada, and everyhwhere else.
It is mighty white of the Whites to decide that THEY will bear the burden of the world population explosion by choosing to, themselves, stop having babies, thereby setting themselves onto a demographic death spiral and leaving North America and Europe open as space to receive all of those extra people from the rest of the world that isn't contracepting itself into oblivion.
The White world, in particular and alone, has decided to make a point of standing up to the Pope. and so among the races, it is the white race, alone, that is far below replacement rate. This is true in every white country, everywhere in the world.
The world may be overpopulating, but the people who are doing their best to compensate for that are the white race. So, Pope or no Pope, the population crisis is resolving itself by the auto- extinction of whites, to make room in Europe, Russia, America and Australia for all of those excess blacks, Asians and Latinos.
THAT'LL show the Pope the error of his ways! White Christians will defy him, "responsibly" contracept, and hand their homes over to the burgeoning races of the rest of the world, who are not intending to listen to the Pope, but who continue to have lots and lots of babies.
Truth is, the white race is sexually perverted, far more than the other races. We built civilizations and empires and conquered the world, but our own craving for rampant, wild sexualization of everything has proceeded to the point that now we're not certain even that birth gender counts.
"On the first Feminian sandstones we were promised the fuller life, that started by loving our neighbour (and ended by loving his wife); Till our women had no more children, and our men lost reason and faith. And the Gods of the Copybook headings said "The wages of sin is death." - "The Gods of the Copybook Headings", Kipling.

The population can expand beyond the ability of the food supply to feed them. Neither the pope, nor anyone else has the means to expand the food supply to keep up.
If population is not to be controlled by contraception, it will be controlled by starvation or some other means, such as disease or war, or some means of extermination. Who is in the best position to be the exterminator and avoid being the exterminated?

Self-control has been shown to be effective. But white people, being sexually obsessed pervs, just gotta fuck. They can't do anything else. Nope, it's gotta be full-on vaginal intercourse that can produce a baby. Otherwise God Himself has violated their self-given right to get their rocks off however they want, whenever they want, with whomever they want. And if there are mistakes, kill the sucker in the womb - because having a baby would crimp the style of the young free liberated person, and impose an unreasonable burden.
Starvation may come someday, if nobody can exercise any self-control. But be of good cheer, for it will be browns, blacks, reds and yellows who are doing the starving, for the whites will have avoided any chance of THEM starving, by having contracepted themselves to the point of being replaced in the land by those other folks.
The Etruscans never had to worry about being enslaved by Celts or Romans or Barbarians, because they went ahead and died out on their own, sparing those latecomers the trouble of having to dispose of them.
Very civil of them.

Self-control (abstinence) has been shown to be effective only in the sense that a woman holding an aspirin between her legs is effective.
In theory it is 100% effective. In practice, it does not work.
I should think a liberal solution would be a sex tax.

Just make sure everyone in the world has a TV and plenty of beer to drink.
