This looks like a rant, not an argument. I probably agree with much of your views about the ill-effects of oppression. We continue to waste human beings today with the crappy education we deliver to many youngsters, especially minority youngsters.
But you really haven’t explained why diversity makes us better. Making things better is not about diversity, it’s about cultivating and applying the talents we have.
The Mississippi Miracle ( which has spread to other southern states) I have posted about is a reason for optimism . Yet “progressive” places like Massachusetts, Minnesota, Washington, and others still lag, and have been overtaken in some measure by Mississippi. That is because of policy and focus, not because of diversity.
The problems with diversity are obvious. Anything that diminishes whiteness and white culture is diversity and is good, unless you are white and stand against those challenges. Then diversity is bad. The mindset that tells me Jefferson sleeping with a slave is important history will be the same mindset that bashes the United States while competing for and being finically supported by the United States at the Olympics. As Director Patel shows, the damage diversity causes has little to do with skin color. It has to do with attitudes and beliefs. We either stand on the shoulders of the great, mostly white, mostly male, people who brought the United States to this point, and continue ; or we bash our heritage and where we now are because mostly whites and mostly males brought us to this point and change course.
Today’s democrats don’t hide the fact that their new election coalition will consist of POC’s and all the so-called marginalized people of not only the USA, but of the world who manage to come here under the ruse of asylum or as refugees. The democrats are building a citizenship base that I, and millions like me, have little in common with. And I haven’t changed. The Democrats have done a 180 on many important issues for no reason other than building this new coalition.
Our divisions are becoming less about principles and more about who are oppressed and who are not. Making America Great Again is a counterweight to that effort. The America was Never Great crowd is succeeding and pushing us towards the abyss the the UK now suffers with.
You omitted 'almost uniformly CHRISTIAN ' from your 'mostly white', mostly male' descriptions.
Intentionally?
@oneeyedundertaker You never answered my questions on diversity. Is it that we have Catholics, Protestants, and Jews? Is it we have Scots, Italians, and Germans? Exactly who makes us diverse? Answer that. Who EXACTLY makes us too diverse? I have asked that several times and no one ever answers.
Do we have left-handed and right-handed? Tall and short? Rich and poor?
But I do look forward to President AOC deporting Republicans to end that diversity. I'll oppose it, but I'll find it funny as hell as I protest against it.
You wouldn't protest ...
The 'too much diversity' may be found in crime statistics, arrest records, incarceration rates, violent crime stats, organized felony fraud, lack of accountability of illegal aliens...
Your subjecting the rule of law to ridicule is disappointing...but not surprising.
Constitutional Republics don't thrive without the Rule of Law.
England is headed into the shitter. Public support for the Monarchy is at an all time low thanks to the fractured Royal family and Epstein connections.
Starmer’s approval ratings are woeful (75% unfavorable, only 18% favorable).Now his government is ordering the purge of court documents.
It is alsodirecting NHS not to provide advice not to engage in incest.
And it’s about to release a convicted and self-admitted terrorist back into society.
US is much better in that they don't even care about racist and pedophile behavior from their leader. In fact, voted him into the white house twice.
Three times Hick'ry...
Two times as VP, under O'Blameless..
One time as President..
Biden is your man..

What are you talking about now CO? Mass is #1, Minnesota #7, and Washington is slightly above the national average according to NAEP data (same data that MS uses to promote its success story).
Liberal paradise.
That wacky story aside, I’m very much in favor of federalized, harsher penalties for littering.
$5K fine for first offense. $10K fine, six months jail for second offense.
Maybe five years without the possibility of parole for third offense.
@jdb Destroying it. Very sad. Some areas you’d just assume you were in the ME
Looks like diversity has been a big boon to St Louis.
Liberal paradise.
That would be crazy if it was true.

I’m talking about elementary school, 4th grade. Look it up. Mississippi hasn’t been at this long enough for all grades to show the change. That’s why I said some measure.
@unclemark, I’m tired of your stupid shit. You are one of the reasons this board doesn’t see much quality or activity. why don’t you stay away?
