BREAKING: The Census Bureau issues a detailed portrait of how the U.S. has changed over the past decade, showing the white population is aging, and falling to its smallest share on record.

The census figures have been eagerly awaited by states, and they are sure to set off an intense partisan battle over representation at a time of deep national division and fights over voting rights. The numbers could help determine control of the U.S. House in the 2022 elections and provide an electoral edge for the next decade. The data will also shape how $1.5 trillion in federal spending is distributed each year.

The release offers states the first chance to redraw their political districts in a process that is expected to be particularly brutish since control over Congress and statehouses is at stake. It also provides the first opportunity to see, on a limited basis, how well the Census Bureau fulfilled its goal of counting every U.S. resident during what many consider the most difficult once-a-decade census in recent memory.

The information was originally supposed to be released by the end of March, but that deadline was pushed back because of delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Back in April, the Census Bureau released state population totals from the 2020 census showing how many congressional seats each state gets.

Creatures, including Human beings procreate with like kind, not color. We are no longer isolated to regions of the planet because of the ease and speed of travel. Gene pool has rapidly been diluted across all ethnicities. We are one and the same. Moving on

White people have been inhabiting North America and South America for at least 9,000 years.

No shit Sherlock

docrocktex26 You mean.. whites are becoming a minority? Oh, my. 😷

If you have a white parent and a black parent do you tick black?

Duh that's y they running around killing everybody.

Whites work harder, less time to sit around drinking beer, screwing welfare mamas.

Just more evidence that the time of the gentiles is over! This nation will pay for it's racism inflicted upon the people of America. And the population decline is just the start. And God is will judge America! This nation was built on evil principles. inequality Facts allbad

Republican party is finished

Man, all of you think that this triggers people, or think this concerns a certain party. Give me a break. There’s plenty of stuff beyond what we can imagine that got us here. You folks make good examples of over simplifying a topic.

Hell yeah.

👏👏👏👏

What would happen if we all filled out paperwork for race and we said “Other” human?

MikeSchneiderAP Heavens to Murgatroyd, if this is what it takes to give everyone an even break and be treated fairly then let's have at! All groups at close near percentages of the population. White women continue to produce less than 2 children each!

White people are overrated.

I saw this on CNBC right after their story about not politicizing masks in schools. They sent up the SCARE WHITE PEOPLE BAT SIGNAL ASAP!

race baiting

all these mad Nazis seething because they know the just can't compete with BBC

This explains why the GOP is fighting to eliminate votes…dictatorship is their only way to rule.

Sounds like the movie Elysium will become a reality sooner than we realize

Maybe illegal immigrants can do for the US what they’ve done for their Central American countries.

Oh no. White lives matter.

Guys stop reporting on this or they’re gonna get Uber scared and do more terrorism.

Good job being racist

and has TuckerCarlson shitting his pants & running off to Hungary to get the latest playbook for “what to do about it”.

LOL. Republicans must feel about the future like the average Afghan citizen feels today.

Handmaidens tale doesn’t seem too far off

Good! I’m white but whatever it takes to stop white supremacy , I’m all for! We are all made in the image of God! People should stop the hate!

Other races breed like rabbits.

SenatorBerger Am expecting fairly drawn districts from you lot. No gerrymandering. GoNCRichardson kdeviere

It's a DECENTENNIAL REPORT. It can't be breaking news.

The amorphous white population is aging & dissipating. Men's sperm counts r precipitously falling. Women r freezing their eggs, bc of career considerations. The world is in its 6th extinction, & the Doomsday Clock is only 100 seconds from midnight, according to the scientists!!

JenH0821 This report will just create more White Supremacists

It’s not shrinking fast enough!!

This pandemic and anti vaxers are not going to help that problem either.

dont tell cuckertarlson he will start talking about The Great Replacement. ggreenwald have you denounced the Great Replacement. Youd think so since Israel is allegedly behind they say, hmmmm

IS HIS DICK SHRINKING AND I AM THE ONE .

Going to be interesting when white ppl are the minority. Then who will POC blame? Will 'systemic racism' still exist at that point? Will white people get to benefit from special programs only for minorities?

And this is what scares the FOX News viewers more than anything.

condormorris Banana Republic’s stock plummeted as a result

What is this weird 'non-Hispanic White' concept Americans have? Completely bizarre.

What the census data shows about the “white majority” is exactly what is fueling Trumpism and the rabid Republican voter suppression laws.

In this last election, Trump went all out collect the white vote, and it was still less than 70% of the overall. For the first time since exit polls have measured it. And Trump still lost by 7 million. Without those increases in the share of blacks and Hispanics for Trump...

Please suggest what instrument should be used to play the death knell of the white ppl?…I’ll go with the dulcimer…🤷🏾‍♂️

Good

I hate to say it but I do not trust this data. It did not appear that we took enumeration seriously in 2020.

Oh no birth rates are declining. Better pay people even less while charging more for necessities.

Finally matching their mentality

Good, I'm white and I love the diversity of America! Hopefully, the aging white supremacist population is the ones that are going away.

CENSUS Combine census data with 20+ years of war and oligarch's kleptocracy, extreme austerity for working people, Christian fanaticism and here we are. MAGAMorons Insurrectionists FascistAgenda and an out of control DeltaVariant RepublicansAreTheProblem

MaryAnnAhernNBC We must practice being a good new minority by color and become part of the better, color-indifferent new majority.

The demographic data in the census will be used to redraw political maps across an increasingly diverse country. The numbers could help determine control of the U.S. House in the 2022 elections and provide an electoral edge for the next decade.

YAY!!!

citazworld this what you were referring to in yesterday’s cryptic tweet about why gop is freaking

I suspect the White people are gonna go buck wild over this. We ain't seen nothing yet. The Whites are going to do any and everything to control other races.

I wonder how much the largest minority group has grown. The Hispanic community and do they affiliate with their Catholic heritage? Roe vs Wade could be in trouble.

THIS is what they are afraid of

This will definitely freak the white people who treat minorities like shit, fearing that they'll be treated the same 😂

Racist post and no one cares

Census shows US is diversifying, white population shrinkingThe Census Bureau on Thursday issued its most detailed portrait yet of how the U.S. has changed over the past decade, releasing a trove of demographic data that will be used to redraw political maps across an increasingly diverse country. The census figures have been eagerly awaited by states, and they are sure to set off an intense partisan battle over representation at a time of deep national division and fights over voting rights. The figures show continued migration to the South and West and population losses in the Mississippi Delta, Appalachia and smaller counties that lost people to larger counties. Is this a real census or 45s custom census, designed to ratify his marching orders? Just want to make sure before I start making baseless political and sociological claims soley on the results of these questionable metrics. I am white from Tennessee I wonder how many people didn’t even fill it out!

Census data spurred GOP's largest partisan edge in decadesFresh off sweeping electoral victories a decade ago, Republican politicians used census data to draw voting districts that gave them a greater political advantage in more states than either party had in the past 50 years, according to a new Associated Press analysis. The GOP’s power will be put to the test starting Thursday, when the U.S. Census Bureau releases 2020 population data that will kick off the next round of the once-in-a-decade redistricting process. When Republicans get in to office they change the rules so they can’t be voted out. That is not what people who believe in a free country do. Yep, but even GOP couldn’t redistrict all those dead people who voted for JoeBiden. 😉

New census data expected to reveal a more diverse AmericaAlmost 120 years ago, African American domestic workers settled in the Como neighborhood of Fort Worth, Texas, where they held Fourth of July parades, patronized shops on Horne Street and lived for several generations in what seemed like a small town within the big city. Thank God Oh my dam, more voter suppression will be coming because some ‘folks’ want to stay in power So when they become the majority are they privileged?
