一旦黑人占据了优势,会怎样?

作者/来源文子稻

黑人之死引发的暴乱开始向更广泛、更深远的方向发展。

人们不再是仅仅为了讨回公道,而是要彻底清算昔日的奴隶主!

在美国北部的波士顿,一座哥伦布的雕像被斩首了。


在西方文化里,哥伦布发现了新大陆,开辟了历史新纪元。在美国很多地方都有纪念哥伦布的雕像。

现在,愤怒的抗议人群,尤其是黑人眼里,哥伦布就是刽子手。

于是,美国各地的哥伦布雕像就成了人们攻击的目标。

除了哥伦布,美国南北战争时南方的李将军雕像被涂乌;在英国,奴隶贩子·科斯顿的雕像被拉倒;在荷兰,利奥波德二世国王的雕像被焚烧、涂鸦、摧毁……


英国女王伊丽莎白的雕像被喷上奴隶主的字样,而丘吉尔的雕像被喷上:这是一个种族主义者。

一时间,“破四旧”运动如火如荼。

.....

然后,美国著名的好莱坞电影《乱世佳人》,这个曾经拿下奥斯卡九项大奖的经典影片,因为里面有“美化黑人奴隶制”的情节,被下架来了!

这让中国很多喜爱这部电影的小伙伴震惊了。

没想到,竟然还能这么玩?


还有很多,就不一一列举。

我最感兴趣的是,为何美国会发生这么猛烈的抗议,甚至引发文化上的“去黑化”的冲击?

答案只有一个,美国黑人的选票很重要。

那么问题来了,为什么以前黑人的选票不重要?

因为以前黑人人数少啊!

给大家看几个数据。

1970年,美国白人人口为全美的83.5%。

2010年,美国白人人口比例为63.7%。

这才仅仅40年的时间,美国人口结构发生了重大变化。

不仅如此,2014年,美国适龄儿童里白人学童的比例,已经从60年前的90%,下降到了47%。

根据美国人口普查机构预测,到2025年,美国白人比例会进一步下降到46.6%。

这一数据的背后,是有色人种,主要是黑人人口的迅速增长。


现在回答上面的问题,为什么以前没有对种族主义进行深刻的反思?

还是因为黑人人口数量不多啊!

现在黑人人口增长了,声音就大了起来。而且,美国民主党更乐意通过制造种族对立来拉选票。

这更进一步造成美国国内的大撕裂。

你说,作为美国白人会一点都不紧张?

所以,美国黑人越多,就会激发更多的白人崇尚“白人至上”主义。

说白了,在美国没有所谓的民族融合,只有种族战争!

美国的种族问题在未来能够得到妥善的解决吗?

想都不要想。

现在黑人反对“白人至上”,难道黑人就没有“黑人至上”的想法?

一旦黑人占据了优势,会怎样?

肯定会推出更有利于黑人的政策,然后黑人慢慢挤占白人的资源。

比如曾经的汽车城底特律,现在不就成了黑人之城?

再比如,南非。

1994年之前,南非一直是执行种族隔离政策。

白人享有各种政治经济上的优越地位,而黑人没有任何地位。不同种族之间,不能通婚,生活区隔离,学校隔离,甚至公共设施也是隔离的。

1994年,南非“国父”曼德拉上台,黑人开始逐步掌握国家权力。


南非开始废除种族隔离政策,法律规定人人平等。

一切看起来很美好的样子,为此,曼德拉还获得过诺贝尔和平奖。

但是,长时期的种族隔离,哪有那么容易实现黑人与白人的和平共处。

然后一个奇怪的现象就出现了。



我们看一个数据。据统计,1994年南非白人有500万左右,占总人口的16%。到了2014年,南非白人就已经下降到了400万左右,仅占总人口的8.9%。

相反,黑人在这一时期进入了生育高峰期,随即人口激增。此消彼长,南非白人就显得越来越少。

而且,在南非开始出现一种逆向歧视现象

什么意思呢?

就是黑人为了报复曾经的不公正待遇开始欺负白人了。

黑人对白人农场主的犯罪案件激增。

很多白人,被迫举家移民,离开南非。

对了,SpaceX、特斯拉的CEO,埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)就是出生在南非,然后才移民美国的。

而没有离开的白人,因为失去了资产开始陷入贫困。现在在南非,有些白人甚至住进了贫民窟,过上了以前黑人曾经的生活。

不出意外,南非的今天,就是美国的明天。

当然,美国白人红脖子们肯定不愿意看到这种情况的发生,下面肯定有一场限制黑人权利的斗争。

但是,在文子稻看来,这一切都是徒劳。

因为谁占据人口优势谁就掌握话语权。

黑人那么能生,白人能比吗?

除非白人又像250年前开始的那样,用枪炮把所有黑人都干掉,维持白人的绝对大多数。

否则,几十年后,黑人人口达到白人一半的时候,真正的大分裂就开始了。

现在,美国政府为了维护国内统治,常用两种手段:

第一、在外部树立一个邪恶可怕的敌人,通过转移矛盾,用恐惧感来团结国内。

第二、在内部通过“政治正确”,来掩盖种族矛盾以及阶级矛盾。

正所谓,成也萧何,败也萧何。

美国政府正是在用这种方式造成国内的大撕裂、大动乱。

2001年,美国政治家Jack Snyder,在其著作《From Voting to Violence》里,写下一个著名的论断:

一个国家族群不断分化割裂,必然导致各族群之间对立加深,冲突加剧,最终解体。

Jack Snyder这本书里大量素材和例证,都来自苏联和南斯拉夫的解体。
 
但是,他绝对没料到自己的国家也可能有这么一天。

所以,未来在北美大陆出现几十个国家也不是不可能的。



黑人之死在美国引发的暴乱对中国有什么启示?

中华文明上下五千年,每当从大乱走到大治,历史学家都会有一句评价,经过民族大融合,国家更加繁荣。

这背后的潜台词是,民族融合带来稳定,稳定促进发展,发展创造了繁荣。

但是,美国暴乱提醒我们:

第一、民族融合易,种族融合难。

第二、当黑人人数达到一个临界点的时候,必将翻转。

第三、政治正确正在毁掉美国。

也就是说如果中国盲目的引进黑人,美国现在遇到的问题,将会是中国未来就要面对的问题。

中国现在是历史上最稳定的时期,我们之所以没有爆发大的暴乱,第一因为经济发展,人民能过上好日子。第二,最关键的是,中国只是多民族国家,而不是多种族国家。

在国内,无论是哪个民族,我们说着同样的语言,看上去外形相似。如果是黑人呢,怎么融合,仅从外观就能分辨出来。

这也是为何在美国,过了250年,始终无法做到种族大融合的根本原因。

既然无法融合,分裂必然就像野草一样,春风吹又生。

美国暴乱给我们拉响的警报:决不能轻易引入外来移民!

这不,中国才刚多一点黑人,就差点出现大乱子。

广州ICU护士遭外籍患者殴打、咬伤面部




我们看看,昔日浪漫之都的巴黎。

据《路透社》报道称:法国在未来将被彻底“黑化”,首都巴黎60%新生儿都是黑人,而法国白人数量仍呈下降趋势,而黑人数量倍增已有500多万人!对此,有人评价称,昔日的浪漫之都巴黎已逐渐变成“黑人之都”。

如果不加控制,几十年后的广州是不是就会变成现在的巴黎?

最致命的是,外来移民对中国不会有归属感,反而,利用中国的包容文化以及好客的性格,要求比中国人更高的权利和优待。
 
3月31日,西安外籍男子拒戴口罩,不服管理,态度嚣张。
4月2日,广州外籍新冠患者,咬伤我国护士。
4月3日,青岛三名外籍男子公然插队,并辱骂我国公民。

对于移民政策,这方面日本做的就非常好。

日本对想要居留的黑人,设了三道关口:

第一关,语言。

需达到日语N3的水平,和日本人可以正常交流。

连语言都不过关,怎么留在日本?

第二关,有正当职业。

这和德国法国接收难民形同天壤,白吃白喝,没门。要来,可以,但得有能力,会创值,多贡献。

第三关,智力不得低于115。

第四关,没有遗传疾病。

想想看,能达到这种条件的黑人数量绝对少之又少,而且几乎都是精英中的精英。这样的人才引进又何妨?


我们不反对移民,而是反对引进洋垃圾!

所谓请神容易送神难,如果刚开始不做严格要求,等垃圾人口入侵中国,想再解决就难上加难了。

尤其是要反对那种引进低端外籍劳动力解决我国劳动缺乏的悖论。这纯粹是卖国行为,是要为子孙后代埋下一个祸根!

缺乏劳动力,为何不彻底放开生育政策?

难道中国人自己就没有资格多生育吗?

现在,我国劳动力问题已经相当严峻,建议尽快全面放开生育,中国人自己生的孩子,才是最好,最放心的!

自己的国家不靠自己人建设,难道还靠“国际友人”?

They had arrived in San Francisco, where their ship was decommissioned, and Paul bet that he would find himself a wife within two weeks. He was a taut, tattooed engine mechanic, six feet tall, with a passing resemblance to James Dean. But it wasn’t his looks that got him a date with Clara Hagopian, a sweet-humored daughter of Armenian immigrants. It was the fact that he and his friends had a car, unlike the group she had originally planned to go out with that evening. Ten days later, in March 1946, Paul got engaged to Clara and won his wager. It would turn out to be a happy marriage, one that lasted until death parted them more than forty years later. Paul Reinhold Jobs had been raised on a dairy farm in Germantown, Wisconsin. Even though his father was an alcoholic and sometimes abusive, Paul ended up with a gentle and calm disposition under his leathery exterior. After dropping out of high school, he wandered through the Midwest picking up work as a mechanic until, at age nineteen, he joined the Coast Guard, even though he didn’t know how to swim. He was deployed on the USS General M. C. Meigs and spent much of the war ferrying troops to Italy for General Patton. His talent as a machinist and fireman earned him commendations, but he occasionally found himself in minor trouble and never rose above the rank of seaman. Clara was born in New Jersey, where her parents had landed after fleeing the Turks in Armenia, and they moved to the Mission District of San Francisco when she was a child. She had a secret that she rarely mentioned to anyone: She had been married before, but her husband had been killed in the war. So when she met Paul Jobs on that first date, she was primed to start a new life. Like many who lived through the war, they had experienced enough excitement that, when it was over, they desired simply to settle down, raise a family, and lead a less eventful life. They had little money, so they moved to Wisconsin and lived with Paul’s parents for a few years, then headed for Indiana, where he got a job as a machinist for International Harvester. His passion was tinkering with old cars, and he made money in his spare time buying, restoring, and selling them. Eventually he quit his day job to become a full-time used car salesman. Clara, however, loved San Francisco, and in 1952 she convinced her husband to move back there. They got an apartment in the Sunset District facing the Pacific, just south of Golden Gate Park, and he took a job working for a finance company as a “repo man,” picking the locks of cars whose owners hadn’t paid their loans and repossessing them. He also bought, repaired, and sold some of the cars, making a decent enough living in the process. There was, however, something missing in their lives. They wanted children, but Clara had suffered an ectopic pregnancy, in which the fertilized egg was implanted in a fallopian tube rather than the uterus, and she had been unable to have any. So by 1955, after nine years of marriage, they were looking to adopt a child. Like Paul Jobs, Joanne Schieble was from a rural Wisconsin family of German heritage. Her father, Arthur Schieble, had immigrated to the outskirts of Green Bay, where he and his wife owned a mink farm and dabbled successfully in various other businesses, including real estate and photoengraving. He was very strict, especially regarding his daughter’s relationships, and he had strongly disapproved of her first love, an artist who was not a Catholic. Thus it was no surprise that he threatened to cut Joanne off completely when, as a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin, she fell in love with Abdulfattah “John” Jandali, a Muslim teaching assistant from Syria. Jandali was the youngest of nine children in a prominent Syrian family. His father owned oil refineries and multiple other businesses, with large holdings in Damascus and Homs, and at one point pretty much controlled the price of wheat in the region. His mother, he later said, was a “traditional Muslim woman” who was a “conservative, obedient housewife.” Like the Schieble family, the Jandalis put a premium on education. Abdulfattah was sent to a Jesuit boarding school, even though he was Muslim, and he got an undergraduate degree at the American University in Beirut before entering the University of Wisconsin to pursue a doctoral degree in political science. In the summer of 1954, Joanne went with Abdulfattah to Syria. They spent two months in Homs, where she learned from his family to cook Syrian dishes. When they returned to Wisconsin she discovered that she was pregnant. They were both twenty-three, but they decided not to get married. Her father was dying at the time, and he had threatened to disown her if she wed Abdulfattah. Nor was abortion an easy option in a small Catholic community. So in early 1955, Joanne traveled to San Francisco, where she was taken into the care of a kindly doctor who sheltered unwed mothers, delivered their babies, and quietly arranged closed adoptions. Joanne had one requirement: Her child must be adopted by college graduates. So the doctor arranged for the baby to be placed with a lawyer and his wife. But when a boy was born—on February 24, 1955—the designated couple decided that they wanted a girl and backed out. Thus it was that the boy became the son not of a lawyer but of a high school dropout with a passion for mechanics and his salt-of-the-earth wife who was working as a bookkeeper. Paul and Clara named their new baby Steven Paul Jobs. When Joanne found out that her baby had been placed with a couple who had not even graduated from high school, she refused to sign the adoption papers. The standoff lasted weeks, even after the baby had settled into the Jobs household. Eventually Joanne relented, with the stipulation that the couple promise—indeed sign a pledge—to fund a savings account to pay for the boy’s college education.
