I didn’t posit a reason for nirthing in that post, just the fact that most nirthers appear to be Southern whites. IMHO, nirtherism is just a way of trying to cope with the fact that America is changing. By 2040 America could very possibly be a minority-white nation. This scares the shit out of some people.

Furthermore, this kind of shit is a pretty normal response to a Democrat of any race being elected as President. Remember the 90’s after Clinton was elected? There were certainly a pretty vocal contingent of nuts who were pushing to nullify his Presidency because he didn’t receive a majority of the popular vote. Not to mention the fact that he was literally impeached by the Senate. Some folks just can’t handle losing elections.
