On average US citizens aren't unhappy enough to care since material needs are met and pharmaceutical technology is effective at dealing with mental illness. Based on current trends, blacks may simply be absorbed by the white population or at the very least become whiter than the current 25% on average which would improve stability as the population becomes more homogenous.

Why the fuck would that happen? Are you suggesting that the level of miscegenation in the U.S. is enough to cause a substantial change in racial admixture? If thats what you are claiming, then show evidence.

It already happened. How do you think African-Americans are 25% white on average:

The average African-American genome, for example, is 73.2% African, 24% European, and 0.8% Native American

Because back when slavery was still legal, rich slave owners fucked their female slaves and fathered mulatto children. As a famous example, Thomas Jefferson had four kids with his black slave.

There is still some detestable amount of miscegenation going on today, obviously. But nothing that would support your claims.

We don't actually know this.

There's some suspicion that the man involved was Thomas's brother Randolph.
