New Europe
The white face of Europe is slowly fading away, middleclass
couples have few children; there are exiting careers to follow
in the world of business, media and the glitzy entertainment
industry. Shake their heads, in united dismay, when reading
about a poor woman, from a sink estate, unmarried and with
seven healthy, white children; they reward her with contempt
and without shame let her live in disgraceful poverty.
There was a time when a mother like that was given a medal
called mother of the nation.
When the same couples are mid forties and successful they
miss children and import some, 3, 4 or 5, preferable healthy
ones from Asia or Chad in Africa, shower them with riches
and a superior education. Europe has a new face, a smoother,
darker skinned one, on holiday it can sit longer in the sun
without getting burned.
There are, however, a minority of people who wants
a white European culture, without ever having read a book
other than pamphlets of hate; minds blinded by fear of
the future and with hearts that only know love of kit & kin,
fight desperately against a tide of humanity that will eradicate
them. Will they be reduced to a footnote, in the era of white supremacy, when its history is written?
