Hall: Ready to welcome darker majority

In a recent column for the Lewiston Tribune, Bill Hall comments that he will welcome the day that whites are the minority in this country, if he’s still around:

Some of us in this country are called minorities. But hang on to your sombrero. By 2043, we of the lighter skin in America will move into minority status.

Maybe, when the time comes, those people in the new minority (us) will eventually learn a more civilized and gentle way of getting along with the new, darker majority. Some of the clods on my side of the new division are about to learn what it’s like to be on the losing end. I hope we won’t have to sit in the back of the bus or segregate our children in schools.

Sad to say, many of my kind have been a little slow to learn their social manners over the decades. But many of us have grown. Some of us will cheer the party when the new majority goes to the front.

Unfortunately, I may not be around to join the party by then. Oh, I would like to join that party, especially if I get a chance to congratulate the winners. More here.

Question: Is there minority blood in your extended family?
