Yes, the finger of guilt points straight into the faces of Canadian and American multiculturalists. They keep alive the old hatreds by remembering the terrible deeds done in the old world.

North America was a far better place when it was a melting pot. Up until 1970 or thereabouts everyone was expected to become a North American and leave the old world behind.

Then the liberals and Democrats discovered identity politics, ethnic studies, homosexual rights, and feminism. It may finish us off yet.

"You're coming to live in a country so confused and degenerate we've decided our culture isn't worth preserving, defending or extending. We've got nothing to offer you but jobs."

Basically, Canada is grand central station -- no inherent virtues, just a dropping off and meeting place for people in transit.

I feel for what you are saying. The prospect of MC is horrible. It's nothing but destructive. We Americans are seeing a similar horror coming over our horizon.

They've started hacking away at the Unity of the United States by trying to compartmentalize (Balkanize) the State of Hawaii. This in addition to trying to meld darkest Mexico, a country of oppression, poverty and superstition into our culture, which is none of the above.

Something there is that does not like freedom and prosperity for the majority.

I propose we start a movement to celebrate our Commonality (love for the USA)instead of our Diversity. Fly the flag, sing patriotic songs and just generally thank God for our good fortune to live in freedom in the USA. Not just on the 4th of July but all the time. Anybody with me?

Multiculturalism = Divided We Fall.

[lafroste]

I have often thought that one of the best things that could happen to Mankind as a whole is a planet-wide outbreak of ethnic amnesia. If that little arab baby isn't taught that he must hate Jews, guess what? He won't.

I see multiculturism as a profoundly evil thing. That the left touts it and sings it's praises, and uses political intimidation to enforce and enshrine it is exactly, mathematically, the absolutely opposite thing that should be done.

I talked to my Dr. during a check-up a few days ago and we discussed Zimbabwe. He did some medical missionary work there. His opinion was that their largest problem was the existence of some 12 different languages (this in a population of 12 million) and enduring tribal divides. They can't even talk to each other. They cannot be united when the most basic measure, communicatrion, cannot even be advanced without jerk-liberals decrying a loss of "culture". Most cultures need to pass into history.

It has already started here. It won't take long before Mexicans follow the lead of the Muslims and open their own schools with their own curriculum to preserve their culture and language. Encouraged by democratic operatives who see value in a policy of divide and conquer.

Does one really have to look beyond the Tower of Babel to figure out how this ends?

PING... Croatia, jihad and Yugoslavia mentioned....

[Lion in Winter]

Hmmmmmmmm, Croatian/Canadian kid.... his fellow ethnic friends committed war crimes and lived to tell the tales.

How "refreshing" that ANYBODY would even admit or even elude to ANY war crimes done by Croatian wanna-bees. And, amazing as well.

[eleni121]

The atrocities they committed.
Nice, decent, polite Canadian boys,...the liberal culture of acceptance ...had shot indiscriminately into occupied houses and burned villages. They hinted at darker secrets, such as mass rape.

We used to investigate, charge, put on trial and then deport or imprison those who commited atrocities "over there"---I guess these days they get a free pass.

What a disgusting situation.

In spite of the fact that everything the author discussed in the headline article of this thread was valid, he did not discuss what I consider to be the most pernicious means whereby multiculturalism works its way into the common consciousness -- in the teaching of history.

I could go on and on about this, and I have dealt with it on other threads over time, but I'll just give my summary conclusions here. Too many professors now teaching history at the college level have used their positions in an attempt to instill upon young college students the notion that there is something oppressive about the American experience in that it "marginalizes" people who do not fit into the mainstream and that this process of "marginalization" is tantamount to oppression and that we will never overcome it until we deliberately place those outside of the mainstream on an equal footing with the rest of us in our laws, government programs, common practices, and more.

Even though "multiculturalism" was originally intended to express the need for an appreciation of diversity at its outset, in practice it has come to mean the assignment of "race guilt" or "culture guilt" to the American mainstream with all the connotations of alienation and violence that usually follow from such attitudes among those who are told they have been "marginalized." And nowhere is this more evident than in the way history is taught at our universities.

they talked of atrocity. Not the atrocities they witnessed.

The atrocities they committed.

…had placed the reticule of a telescopic rifle sight on civilian women and pulled the trigger. They had shot indiscriminately into occupied houses and burned villages. They hinted at darker secrets, such as mass rape.

The mainstream media was and is very quiet about this and prefers instead to hype claims against Serbs.

They said the Serbs were fighting due to old WWII fears, when instead it was an on the ground reality, absolute horror as Serbian village after village was obliterated and the men and women taken to prisons and camps to be tortured – survivors often crippled, disabled and bearing scars (unlike these big Muslim fish story tellers who don’t have a scratch on them).

The Croats (and Muslims) were the “junkyard dogs” of NATO countries, and therefore were aided and abetted in ethnically cleansing, torturing and killing Serbs. The mainstream media as a tool was controlled to keep people from learning the truth and instead used to keep demonizing Serbs relentlessly.

This is a picture of the Canadians cleaning up dead Serbs after the Medak Pocket massacre (1993) in Croatia:

At the time, an eastern paper published a feature in which one "soldier" recounted how his Yugoslavia-born mother wept and begged him not to go, saying this was not his war. His reply was if she didn't want him to feel such a strong connection to the old country, she should not have sent him to a cultural school several times a week, steeping him in the language, culture and, yes, resentments of the past.

Parents will reap what they sow.
