Why Diversity is Killing Us

Is that why liberals support Biden?

"Biden, meanwhile, led a faction of Democrats to sponsor legislation that would restrict the ability of federal courts to institute busing orders, according to a 1978 account in the Wilmington Evening Journal. During this period, he worked to sponsor anti-busing legislation with Southern senators with segregationist backgrounds.

That upset Democrats who supported busing, and some of them took Biden aside and asked how and when “the racists had gotten to me,” as Biden told it in his autobiography. An aide to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. told Biden he was being “duped.”
THE WASHINGTON POST, Joe Biden called busing a ‘liberal train wreck.’ Now his stance on school integration is an issue., By Michael Kranish and Laura Meckler, June 28, 2019.

But for systemic institutional racism the DP could not exist as a viable political party.

 

Most thinking people's opinions evolve into a more fair view of others once they are exposed to and come to understand the "others". Most Republicans, for example, now agree with gay marriage. The exception being the far right.

 

Heh so still talking about Trump! Proving my point on steroids'...

Meanwhile any thoughts on the thread topic?

 

You make no sense. When and where did I explain "national reacism?" And what does that have to do with my opinion on abortion?

 

Diversity isn't killing us. Diversity remains one of the major reasons the USA became and is the most successful nation on the globe. Why do conservatives want to obviate what makes America great?

 

No it isn't. Diversity is just having more than one flavor of person on a project. A better version is to only have the top people on a project. This is why the gov sucks so hard, and companies that hire the best do well. I have no idea how this math escapes you. I certainly wouldn't want a "diverse" pilot crew only the best flying my plane.

 

I want the best regardless. If you have a larger pool of candidates you have a better chance of getting the best ones. I don't understand how that math escapes you nor what you are saying about yours.

 

You lost me in the first paragraph. I’m not sure how you got to everyone is equal therefore all cultures are equal. Hey, it’s been decades since I sat in a Philosophy class but there’s no there there.


The shared value in the United States is our Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The root reason people want to be here.

From my perspective that is our primary culture or base and everything else composing culture is secondary (religion, tradition, customs, et al).

So if a group of people want don blue eyeliner, chant, and consume cauliflower every fourth Tuesday have at it. As long as they’re aligned with the primary I could care less.

What I find suspect are those trying obscure the primary by elevating the secondary. To me it’s focusing on the peculiarities of men to sow division. Lame. Who can’t find something peculiar about man?

Our eye should always be on perfecting the primary—insuring the self evident..

 

Diversity places "different" over best. That's the whole problem. Diversity isn't make the good pool better it's poisoning it with lower qualified people. That's the whole point, if they were actually the best they'd be first in line.

You math poorly.

 

I don't consider the New York Times to be an honest, unbiased source. Why was forced integration so

Having a larger pool of individuals to choose from is not a problem. Giving preferential treatment to minorities specifically to increase "diversity" IS a problem.

 

You misunderstand diversity. Diversity makes sure that we are getting the real best, not just the ones most similar to the best we had before in overall background

 

LOL, no it's not. It's the exact opposite and I'm not surprised you don't know this. If the "diverse" person was the best for the job they wouldn't need the term! HAHAHAHA, **** man, you genuinely miss 90% of all pertinent information. I would be so embarrassed but it doesn't bother you at all!

 

Diversity rarely if ever selects for who is best, just who is minimally qualified. What is this "pertinent" info I'm missing?

 

Pertinent information would be understanding that diversity is done for a race/gender/whatever quota, not for the best of the best. That's why people started crying about not being chosen for promotions and things, they weren't the highest qualified only the loudest.

 

Or they were clearly the best but were being passed over for racial/ethnic reasons. Bigotry blinds bigots to bigotry best of all.

 

Every few years you and I get into a discussion of diversity, and you will make a statement that's extremely dumb, and then I mock you for it. So I guess you need to decide if it's going to be this year and this thread for you.

If the answer is yes, I'll continue.

 

What is it about that ONE culture, which makes those who practice it so allegedly unappealing to employers? Given those same employers might happily employ an even darker skinned African or Indian migrant?

 

Not Leftism generally, PROGRESSIVE Leftism.

And if you don't know, you may be part of the problem.

 

Totally. I mean you can see how oppressed Indian Americans are .. what with only being able to reach the very top of the largest companies on the planet. Such bigotry.

 

What is 'diversity' to you?

Is it a wide range of different races/ethnicities all sharing the same values, religion, moral code, work ethic etc? Or is it something else?

 

No, that's exactly not how it works. It's ok, now you HAVE to hire the dumbest of the dumb to meet a quota, and you wonder why the cops don't always make the right choice. That's why the Houston Police Department added a remedial math class for cadets with underperforming scores lol.

 

Quotas are, with some exceptions, illegal. Guidelines and timetables, like in the pirate's code, are not.

 

That's pretty much it, though I sense our range of tolerance in values, morals etc, is rather different

 

They're not in the oppressed groups

 

How is progressive leftism White Supremacist then?

I'm very problematic, always have been. My mother used to tell me that and then my wife.
