Our Country Is Changing

from *Orchestral Suite #1 by Steve Shapiro

/

lyrics

The president of the United States is a racial bigot. His telling four non-white members of Congress "to go back to the countries they originally came from” is racist to the core.

Our country is changing — it's getting browner, as population growth slows among whites. Non-whites now make up a majority of kindergartners; by the next presidential election, the Census Bureau predicts they will be a majority of all children; and by 2044, no one racial group will be a majority of the country.

And as long as much of the country feels threatened by the changes they see, there will be a continuing, and perhaps growing, market for politicians like Trump. Will Trump's appeal to racism excite enough people to vote Republican come Election Day?
