Jihad

I used to say in the nineties, "if American society doesn't move away from exploitation and violence, no one is going to want to have babies by white men".
So in 2004, I read how Texas and Oklahoma spent millions attempting to convince women to marry.
Marriage rates are down. Birth rates are down (although that is not one bit true in Chicago's Lincoln
Park) and I don't believe the women these states were reaching out to were minority women.
Women had talk shows and now they have I.D. TV. Not only that, when women went to university
in much greater numbers, they saw many kinds of men in a more up close and personal way before beginning to seriously consider marriage.  It took only a few generations for young women to see marriage could often be as unattractive as it can be attractive.
Now the same men who slowly turned off their own women over the past half century are continuing
to turn people off in droves.
Lest we forget,a part  South America was unwittingly complicit in training the 911 pilots got before destroying the Twin Towers.
We don't need any of this hemisphere to nurture cells of young people who become well-trained
America-hating jihadists.
What are pre-verbal children going to think when they see their moms reduced to tears, and
see waves of white people shouting with threatening and menacing shrill contempt.
We don't need an entire other hemisphere in our own neck of the woods to decide we are more foe
than friend.
Even if we love these policies of "break the law to turn 'em back", we need to be more careful about
how we encourage citizens to express that hatred.
