What's the matter with white people?

As the GOP loses its grip, it's got one loyal constituency. Will white America go down with the ship?

(Blog Post) Both the right and left suddenly have a lot of complaints about white people, particularly the so-called white working class. In “Suicide of a Superpower,” Pat Buchanan describes white Americans contemptuously at times, as an endangered species obliviously collaborating in its own demise by tolerating liberal multiculturalism.
