Yep, never have figured out why diversity is good or bad. Seems to liberals that it is a good thing. Still waiting for them to tell me why it is a good thing. They tell me that we should have diversity in government - (why - what is government suppose to do differently for some and not for all?) Sorry, the concept seems to elude me - I do understand and appreciate the different cultures and foods. Does that mean that government is suppose to advance some of these over others?
Still trying to understand this concept. If those here can explain it to me, I would appreciate it.
IMO when I hear someone praise “diversity” it means sit down and shut up-we- the power in control have rejected American and the founding principles-and have decided everybody who disagrees with us should be distracted into considering our “diversity” so they will not notice those they have elected -or those now in power are not Americans-Just look at the man in the WhiteHouse- The Constitution he swears to defend says Only a natural born citizen can have the Office— is he a natural born citizen? Where is his allegiance? My ancestors had come legally from Germany and Ireland and settled in Kansas before the Civil War.E Pluribus Unim.They earned the right to be Americans.By becoming Americans
Historically, government policies toward various ethnic groups immigrating to the U.S. have been to assimilate them into our culture. They are expected to seek citizenship, learn the English language, and obey the same laws as other Americans.
Our laws have always been designed to uphold the US Constitution and to uphold the basic ideals of the Declaration of Independence, i.e. “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”.
When a liberal speaks of of “diversity” , he means “multiculturalism”, which is the opposite of assimiliation. Multiculturalists believe that one culture is as good as any other, and that it is arrogance for our legal system to expect diverse cultures, genders, and races to the same laws.
Take for example, a fundamentalist Muslim who executes his daughter in an “honor killing”? Or a Haitian Voodoo priest who performs human sacrifice? A traditional judge and jury would find these people guilty of murder. That’s in the spirit of of assimilation. On the other hand, a liberal multiculturalist would celebrate “diversity” by holding these people to a different standard, like for instance having Sharia Courts to apply sharia law to a muslim. He might even want “freedom of religion” interpreted in such a way as to excuse the Voodoo priest from doing his thing.
We’re beginning to see th effects of the diversity fad in Europe and the U.S. Take the billy club brandishing black panthers who were intimidating voters in Pittsburgh (or was it Philly?) The case against them was dropped. The device used by Atty General Holder was to frame it as a “Civil Rights” case, then have it dismissed because “Civil Rights” protections were not intended to apply to white people.
