The Karma of Manifest Destiny

For whatever the reason, when populations see a new demographic prevailing in their established area, they may perceive it as an intrusion. Worst of it is that it intrudes on ethics and ideals. These intruders not only bring a different color to the table, but also ways of life that the current population refuses to diffuse. The resistance is the irony. During the "Manifest Destiny" proclamation era, thousands of natives of this land underwent a genocide which brought it to the border of extinction. Surely the intruders of this land were met with much resistance from different tribes throughout the land. Why is it that we masquerade the truth of an invasion of culture and beliefs to these people, and today see inner city kids as the cause of the downfall of public education? It's because they do not represent the overwhelmingly majority, and their voices are sealed shut through deceiving ways. 


Specifically in the Southwest, the majority may feel threatened by a new rapidly growing population. Worst of it is that it intrudes on ethics and ideals. These intruders not only bring a different color to the table, but also ways of life that the current population refuses to diffuse.
