Buchanan: Hispanic Immigrants Not Assimilating Into America Because They Embrace Rap Culture.

The media is lavishing attention on Pat Buchanan and his new book that argues that whites are the only race with the genetic endowments to prevent America from collapsing.

Yesterday on Hannity and Colmes, Pat Buchanan asserted that Hispanic immigrants were not assimilated into America because they were adopting rap culture. Watch it:

Rap music, according to the U.S. State Department, is an original American art form. It has its roots, however, in African-American culture, not white culture. For Buchanan, apparently, that means its un-American.

Digg It!

Transcript:

BECKEL: Pat, you say in the Hispanic culture in the Southwest it is a culture that will take over the Southwest and essentially make the Southwest of the United States part of America but not really part of America. Let me ask you this the Irish and Italian came to New York and brought their culture here. Eastern Europeans went to the north-northwest part of the Midwest, the Germans and Scottish went to the Appalachians and brought their culture with them. Whats different?

BUCHANAN: One thing thats different in the year 2050 there will be 102 million people of Hispanic descent, primarily Mexican, wholly concentrated in the American Southwest. Thats one thing. The second thing is Mexicans, unlike Irish or German folks, never claimed America as their country. They owned it. 58% of Mexicans believe the southwest belongs to them. The third thing is, they were assimilated. There powerful assimilation movement in this country that does not exist right now and in so the point of the thing is, they are not assimilated into America. Many Hispanics, as a matter of fact, you know what culture they are assimilating to? the rap culture, the crime culture, anti-cops, all the rest of it.

J Bananas:
everybody hates mexicans, i cant even choose which ethnicity hates them the most because ive heard the rants from everyone. are you trying to attack cwalker, pat buchanan, or convince us mexicans are higher on the tier of acceptance in hip hop than whites? speak ingles goddamnit orale!

Real American:
What is Buchannan saying that is not true?

Javier:
If you're feeling the Hip-Hop culture, you're not really an American.  Got it.

More like...what he is NOT saying.

Why is that whenever devils...err, white conservatives...criticize hip-hop culture, they always talk about it like it's only blacks who embrace it?  They act as if 80% of hip-hop record sales aren't to white teenagers in the suburbs.  If white kids are also embracing hip-hop culture (and dig the gangster image) in such large numbers, what does that say about them?
