Social engineers know and study human psychology, and use our natural instinct's to sort of herd the group mind (Society) in what ever preferred direction they want. It can be called propaganda that is presented to us by way of mass media every day 24/7/365.
So what we see, with society today is a combination of people trying to "keep up with the Jones". That is what the social engineers are saying to us in the media, that most people try and do. Look at the ads that drive women nuts. Every picture shows a beautiful, slim woman, showing off this or that. So guess what most women try to look and have the body that is portrayed as "ideal".
I have seen the black white mixing from the start and over all I do not care for it. But as others have said it is their choice, not mine. My one and only marriage of 3 years or so, the wife was a freckled read head. And she had a daughter that I never met, until after the marriage. Tonya was white and had a mix kid 3 years old, and was pregnant with her second.
I disapproved but I was in love (mistake) so I said nothing. I was there when my at the time step grandson was born. and guess what I came to love both those boys. I could not let my life long predigest against other races apply to those two kids. They were just kids that had no choice in how or by who brought them into the world. They were a tiny light of joy during that time I was married to the bitch from hell. And it hurt to see them go when I finally woke up and kicked my x out of the house and my life. (I wish, but that is another story).
People are going to do what they are going to do, and in general nothing is going to stop it. Some here hate it and want nothing to do with society's changes. And that is their right and I can fully understand (Been there and done that) but other than howling and scream. Or try and find places to move to so they can be with like minded people and friends. I don't like what has and is happening, but I have woke up to the fact that in reality there is nothing I can do about it.
Are we being social engineered , yes! Anything can we do about it on the large national scale? I think not, The majority in this country have bought into believe what the local and national media have taught them. If the system breaks down, then all bets are off, there may be a fight between 2 groups. White and blacks, but in reality it maybe a three way fight, black/white and brown, depending on what part of the country.
Any more the way I live is by the "Golden Rule" when dealing with people, for the time I have left on this earth, not much longer now in years.
The racial thing going now is not going to go away, until a few generations of people pass on, from the time of the end of segregation. There are still a bunch living that remember what segregation was like and lived it, and old grunges are hard to put away or die.
Dos Pesos.
