Will Diversity Destroy The Left?

For the proud liberal, a quick thought experiment—or, rather, litmus test. Is the following group diverse? Four college students: one white, one black, one Asian, and one Hispanic. “Yes, of course,” you reply.

But what if I were to also note that these young adults hail from Bloomfield Hills, Michigan; Stamford, Connecticut; Brentwood, California; and Highland Park, Texas—towns located within what political scientist Charles Murray termed “SuperZips,” ZIP codes that rank highest based on a combination of income and education? Specifically, all four of our hypothetical subjects grew up in spacious suburban homes. They took tennis and golf lessons at local country clubs in the summer. They were handed keys to brand new—or relatively new—cars when they turned sixteen. All their parents are white-collar professionals, with at least one holding an advanced degree.

Drum roll. If you still feel the group represents diversity, you’re a subscriber to the 1960s-and-after Left. If your answer is an adamant, “No, this group is definitely not diverse,” you’re either an increasingly lonely living fossil or a time-traveling left-winger who’s arrived from an era prior to the emergence of the counterculture.

Diversity Is Fragmenting Democratic Voters

Could this be true? It would be the ultimate irony if it turned out that way, and ironic for our side as well as theirs. I hope this is right, but I don’t know what to think yet. IMHO, we could wind up reaping benefits if we adapt, but the jury is still out.

This might be called "profiling" them as being "diverse" based on race or ethnic variations.

I’ve been saying this to my hubby since the 80s when diversity started to become the norm. Eventually, the majority will become the minority. Then will the left be so eager to defend our rights? Yeah, I didn’t think so. Thank God I’m in the twilight of my life.

If conservatives were truly warriors, we’d exploit the many natural divisions between the multi cult Left.

Divide and conquer.

We would turn gays against blacks, blacks against abortionists, muslims against atheists, hard-working union members against welfare recipients.

It’s destroyi America!!! By the time it destroys the Left it may be too late for my beloved Nation.

[WashingtonSource]

The whole point of this article is that the Left has driven away white working class people, thereby depriving them of future majorities. So the author wants the Left to return to economic class warfare and not identity politics warfare so the Left can continue to rule.

So, yes, diversity is destroying the Left and we should do nothing about it so that the destruction can proceed apace.

"Will Diversity Destroy The Left?"

Of course it will. It's the collateral damage that takes everyone else with it that's the problem.

And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything’s gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you’re already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It’s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It’s meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn’t it ironic...don’t you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...

"Will Diversity Destroy The Left?"

I don't about the "Left" but it certainly is destroying America!

[GOPJ]

The way democrats keep their factions together is by pretending the differences aren’t real. They live in unicorn land.

Their truth is ugly - white liberal elites are propped up by underclass blacks and illegals who must be constantly ‘paid off’... There’s massive resentment.

The person who wrote this has bought into the fantasy of what the democrat party imagines themselves to be. The only thing we need to do is sit back and watch... Not only are we going to get white men - we’re also going to get Hispanics...

Not a single example of irony in that song.

Which is ironic...

[CodeToad]

The left-wing is not diverse. They require group-think and group-act. There is nothing individual about them.

[Slyfox]

Diversity destroying the left? Nah, the Lord God Himself is gonna want to have that honor.

[skeeter]

As long as whitey is around to blame for their every misery, the diverse left will remain cohesive.

After that they will be at each others' throats.

[Kackikat]

Yes, if Chicago is any indication.

[bert]

Chicago? the poster child for diversity is Deetroit

Question: "Will diversity destroy the left?"

Answer: No.

Comment: White America will be destroyed first, economically, politically, culturally, religiously and even bodily etc. Then and only then will the members of the coalition who destroyed us begin to fight over the remaining spoils. Once the internal wars become a threat to homogeneous nations one of them will step in and enslave the survivors. (China or Russia-provided it rids itself of the Marxist toxin)

"Will Diversity Destroy The Left?"

 

Yes, and no - they are blocs or factions of uneasy allies living together in a permanent camp, but infighting and fracturing is inevitable since there is no honor among thieves. Everyone wants to be a chief and not an indian. The typical result is that the worst and most ruthless faction will rise to the top to dominate direction and policy. It's in everyone's best interest if they keep the bloodletting between themselves in perpetuity.

I sotantly hope so...
