Will Obama end western civilization?

There was a time in history when a young black man, Elagabalus of Syria, became a Roman emperor and while there was certainly some horror expressed by the elitist white Roman supremacists at the time -- the year was 217 -- most ordinary Romans were enthralled by their exotic new emperor; and that’s exactly how most Americans, and people all over the world, reacted to Barack Obama’s presidential election win.

Elagabalus didn’t bring down the Roman Empire, start a black backlash against the whites or stop civilization from progressing. Obama’s administration is likely to be similarly benign.

Elagabalus did, however, stack his administration with Syrians and encourage a mass of black immigrants into Rome, but there’s not much evidence of that sort of thing happening in the Obama administration. Unlike 3rd century Rome and 19th century Britain, natives of the countries America invades are not entitled to American citizenship.

Like the Roman Empire, the price the civilized western nations pay for being so successful and globally influential is that people from less civilized and successful nations want to emigrate and share the good life, and it is only when a critical mass is reached that everything falls apart.

Because of geographical location and strict immigration and citizenship rules, the epitome of western civilization represented by the USA is unlikely to fall apart with Obama or any other president of non-Anglo Saxon descent, so relax everyone!
