What do we know?
We know this, that in the end, the rot of multiculturalism will kill many American cultural staples, such as the celebration of Christmas, studying Wyatt Earp, and American Exceptionalism.
However we must also be prepared for the demise of the Number 4.....the number 4 days are numbered.
Soon, there will no longer be The Four Seasons, 44 Skidoo, The Four Freshmen, The Four Quadrants, The Four Horsemen of The Apocalypse, Bret Favre's Number 4, Lou Gehrig's Number 4, the 4th Commandment(remember the sabbath), The Gang of Four, Channel 4, Four wheelers......all gone,our new class of Chinese Colonizers will see to that.
And as for 44, well forget that, Henry Aaron's old number will never be used again in our new Globalized America, nor will Jerry West's 44.
"Pity the poor Arcadia couple trying to sell a house with a street number 44.
Most local buyers are Chinese — and for them, such a number can kill a deal.That's because, in Mandarin and Cantonese, the word for four sounds like the word for death. So 44 essentially adds up to double death.
Josh Grohs, managing partner of Sol-Mur Development, LLC, buys up Arcadia houses, tears them down and then builds new homes. He knows his market and the dangers of picking the wrong property.
"This property is worth $1.4 million if the address was not two fours. If they don't change it, that would knock $300,000 to $400,000 off the property," Grohs said of the owners of No. 44, who do not want their street name mentioned for fear of making a bad situation worse.
"No one would have thought anything of it 30 years ago," he said. "Now it definitely, 100%, does not make their home that attractive."
Twenty years ago, Arcadia dealt with similar complaints from residents about numbers when the city started seeing a dramatic rise in Chinese homeownership. At the time, like numerous other San Gabriel Valley cities, it decided to allow people to change inauspicious numbers — for a fee. But five years ago, it abandoned that program after city workers complained about how onerous and confusing the process of changing addresses had become.
......Some of those facing numbers problems bought their properties many decades ago, before the Asian influx. Asians, predominantly Chinese,
now make up nearly 60% of Arcadia's population.
"If we can save somebody from taking a financial bath, we should," said Bob Harbicht, the council member who first brought the topic up.
But his colleagues don't all agree.
"There are 20,000 homes in Arcadia. One in four has a number four in it.
That's a potential of 3,000 addresses that could be changed,"
said Councilman Roger Chandler, who is against restarting the program. "We have people who want to change the entire 1400 block.
"Psychologically, changing the number four would make the buyer more comfortable, and it's good for resale value," said Wong, who recently helped
a client change an address in San Gabriel, one of several nearby cities where it is allowed." .....Los Angeles Times"
Does anyone remember that President Obama was our 44th President?
Perhaps the solution to all his political and economic problems is just to arbitarily make himself the 50th President of the United States.
Multiculturalism in America has failed because it has not created new Americans, all that Multiculturalism in America has done is given 5,000 year old superstitions new footholds on American soil.

"Number 4 (四; accounting 肆; pinyin sì) is considered an unlucky number in Chinese because it is nearly homophonous to the word "death" (死 pinyin sǐ). Due to that, many numbered product lines skip the "4": In East Asia, some buildings do not have a 4th floor.
(Compare with the Western practice of some buildings not having a 13th floor because 13 is considered unlucky.) In Hong Kong, some high-rise residential buildings literally miss all floor numbers with "4", e.g. 4, 14, 24, 34 and all 40–49 floors, in addition to not having a 13th floor. As a result, a building whose highest floor is number 50 may actually have only 35 physical floors."
