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.

I’d say let’s just make it easy and just ban all porn. Prostitution is illegal, and porn is no different. Paying people for sex is what the industry does.

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.
