Although I should defer to the well read scholar Joy Reid, here is one of the 8 reasons on the History website:

Rome’s economy depended on slaves to till its fields and work as craftsmen, and its military might had traditionally provided a fresh influx of conquered peoples to put to work. But when expansion ground to a halt in the second century, Rome’s supply of slaves and other war treasures began to dry up. A further blow came in the fifth century, when the Vandals claimed North Africa and began disrupting the empire’s trade by prowling the Mediterranean as pirates.

If anything, Rome fell because of diversity. Too many outside tribes being given citizenship and thus diluting Roman culture.

Again...more proof that lib dems are incapable of self reflection even after suffering incredible losses. Its time to start estimating when the current democrat party will be politically irrelevant and a new party will emerge from its ashes.

” Societies fail for many reasons, but skin color has never been one of them”

Depending on point of view, our problem race is certainly part of the mix these days.

Joy, you might ask the Habsburgs, the Romanoff's and the Ottomans how diversity worked out for them.

While you're at it, ask today's Brits.

Was she speaking from behind her fryer at Mickey D’s?

Her ignorance is stunning...

The fact that anyone even listens to her is disgusting.

Rome fell BECAUSE of “diversity”, and many of the exact same left-wing causes in America today.

Julius Caesar once commented in one of his writings that as societies turn wealthy, they become fat, opulent, and effeminate... neaning soft and squishy... that was the downfall.

My 7th grade history teacher said Rome started going downhill after they instituted the dole....I believe he was right and we’re seeing the effects in all the socialist/socializing countries of the world as welfare replaces productivity.

I've previously seen it argued that is was too much diversity that brought down Rome. I don't buy that one either. But it was always very diverse once they started conquering outside Italy.

Bear in mind there was no definitive ending Roman power, just a slow decline until one day they noticed they weren't much of an empire any more.

The real fall of Rome had less to do with racial composition and more to do with internal decay political corruption.

MSNBC and Joy Reid are part of the internal decay as well as most of the disinformation propaganda media.

They have amassed the ignorant the stupid the lazy as followers for mass socialism and that’s the first step to Communism.

They hate Trump because he’s in their way as well as we the people.
