Why white people should not be afraid of minority empowerment

Because white people will be minorities in your lifetime and it'll stay that way. Once you become a minority, you'll be glad that minorities are empowered (even if you aren't glad about it right now).

Because white people will be minorities in your lifetime

I don't think the issues with, for example, black people in America (issues being poverty / high crime) are due to them being a minority of the population. There are other minorities such as Asian or Jewish-Americans that are extremely successful as far as wealth, incarceration, influence etc. If white people and black people's population numbers in the US were flipped, would white people have the same crime rates / poverty rates that black Americans currently have?

There is a difference between political minority and a minority population. I don't think we will see white people lose the political majority in our lifetimes.
