“Tom Paine’s” real name is Bob Basso. I’ve been hearing opining like this for more than 19 years now, and you know what will happen? Like all the others Basso will eventually sink into irrelevance. Multiculturalism is a fact, and it will never go away. He’s not as bad as Chapman, but his ideas are in within the same border, the poor, down-trodden white male syndrome it’s called. The nation is getting “blacker”, and it’s
all the fault of asylum-seekers. It has lost the purity and greatness that it once possessed in the days of slavery and white-straight- male-made-in-the-image-of-God rulers who “kept the ship on course”. Basso is nothing but a pompous ass. America has come a long way from the
Million Man March.
At the time of the March, black Americans faced unemployment rates nearly two times that of white Americans, a greater than 40 percent poverty rate, and a median family income that totaled about 58 percent of the white median. 11.1 percent of all black males were unemployed and for those aged 16-19 the number of unemployed had climbed over 50 percent [11] Further, according to Reverend Jesse Jackson’s speech at the March, the House of Representatives had taken dramatic fiscal action against some of the programs that played an integral role in urban Americans’ lives. “The House of Representatives cut $1.1 billion from the nation’s poorest public schools,” and “cut $137 million from head start” effectively subtracting $5,000 from each classroom’s budget and cutting 45,000 preschoolers from a crucial early education program. [12]
Environmental hazards, too, made the lives of urban Blacks particularly unstable. Black men fell victim to homicide at a rate of 72 per 100,000, a rate significantly higher than the 9.3 per 100,000 attributed to the white male population. [13] Aggressive law enforcement and prison construction left “two hundred thousand more blacks in the jail complex than in college” [14] and devastating leadership gaps within black communities and families. [15] Event organizers were further infuriated by a perceived gap in prenatal care for black women and children caused, in part, by the closing of inner-city hospitals. [16] On the whole, event organizers were of the view that urban Blacks were born with “three strikes against them” [17]: insufficient prenatal care, inferior educational opportunities, and jobless parents. [18] Instead of providing young children with the means to succeed, the government intervened in the lives of its black citizens later in life through law enforcement and welfare handouts that did little to improve the community’s circumstances. [19]
Here in Oz is another who has gone into irrelevance,
Pauline Hanson. From her maiden speech:
Immigration and multiculturalism are issues that this government is trying to address, but for far too long ordinary Australians have been kept out of any debate by the major parties. I and most Australians want our immigration policy radically reviewed and that of multiculturalism abolished. I believe we are in danger of being swamped by Asians. Between 1984 and 1995, 40 per cent of all migrants coming into this country were of Asian origin. They have their own culture and religion, form ghettos and do not assimilate. Of course, I will be called racist but, if I can invite whom I want into my home, then I should have the right to have a say in who comes into my country. A truly multicultural country can never be strong or united. The world is full of failed and tragic examples, ranging from Ireland to Bosnia to Africa and, closer to home, Papua New Guinea. America and Great Britain are currently paying the price. Arthur Calwell was a great Australian and Labor leader, and it is a pity that there are not men of his stature sitting on the opposition benches today. Arthur Calwell said: Japan, India, Burma, Ceylon and every new African nation are fiercely anti-white and anti one another. Do we want or need any of these people here? I am one red-blooded Australian who says no and who speaks for 90% of Australians. I have no hesitation in echoing the words of Arthur Calwell.[4]
These are lost souls harking back to an age that will never again be. The irrelevance of her comments on Asians is now apparent to all. The Yellow Peril wasn’t as bad as forecasted and Asians have integrated just as well as the Italians and Greeks did before them. The originators of the White Australia Policy are long dead. The flag still has the Union Jack on it at the top left corner, and though racist sentiment still remains, the majority have accepted that the old Australia will never again be. You change with the global times, or the global times will leave you behind.
People should also examine Basso’s motivation for doing this. He’s quite an entrepreneur. Tom Paine was an Englishman, an immigrant to America. We are all new immigrants, unless we claim American Indian or Australian Aboriginal ancestry.
