The birthplace of Christianity (Israel) made it possible for it to spread easily into white or colored nations, the whites accepted it, while the people of color preferred their idolatry.
I have noticed that he treats all of white guys like dirt — and generally favors any minority. It is like a point system:
10 Points - African American complete love and they can never do any wrong.
7 Points - Indians are mostly loved and he talks to them endlessly on their “wonderful culture”.
5 Points - Latinos (Mexicans) lower on the scale can be publicly humiliated and may not get good job assignments.
3 Points - White Women are pretty low - harassed, berated, pushed on job assignments to unreasonable standards, and publicly criticized and held as objects of ridicule.
2 Points - White guys - not quite the bottom, but held as a lower life form, stupid, lazy, constantly criticized, given impossible jobs with unreasonable expectations, and generally held to be morons.
1 Point - Republicans, of any color — this is as low as you can go once this is determined you might as well quit.
Does anyone else have a problem like this?
Why not? I stole it from a shop steward back in the early 70’s.

Actually, they called themselves "Progressives" first, during the last half of the 19th century and early 20th century. You may recall that Teddy Roosevelt's "Bull Moose" Party was actually named the Progressive Party.
It was only when a short-lived reaction against Progressivism came in during the 1920's that they started calling themselves "Liberals," in an effort to suggest that they were in line with liberal thinking of America's founders, who were (and still are) known as Classical Liberals. Now that Liberal has come to be associated with the failed policies of the left, they are re-adopting the term "Progressive" in a slimy attempt to continue their hallowed tradition of hiding their true social engineering nature.
They could take their diversity and shove it.
In fact, people are not as easy to categorize by skin color as by eye color. Most Americans have very mixed ancestry. I call myself a Heintz 57 American, and one day I was having a long complicated conversation with a relative of a black friend who had died. When I said that I could see that she was part Indian from her features she really warmed to me looking at her and seeing an individual.
The rigid black/white divide is something that has been exaggerated and made worse by the civil rights industry. Blacks, whites, and Indians have been living together for 500 years with all kinds of different interactions. In this year of the halfrican american, ask where he/she fits these stereotypes. And note also that the lady from small town Iowa did not know whereof she spoke, as there were no blacks in her town.
Is that like Shikaka?
It is the story of our lives. i wonder if there will be another generation willing to step aside to make amends for the sins of our fathers. Probably not. I have been wondering what it is that makes those netroots so angry. I have concluded that it is probably this. They are mostly old white men, and I had an ex in that category. I suppose that they feel they have been stepped on and bypassed and divorced to their disadvantage by all the social engineering that has gone on. My ex died recently. His rage seemed irrational to me. And the rabid democratic activism does not really address its cause.
well, don’t hold back lol. What did you do and say? It would help others here.
I work for one of the “diverse” companies mentioned in the article. I go to great lengths to avoid having contact with the “protected classes” because one misunderstood comment would cost me my job.
One would have to be mentally twisted to think this is anyway to treat a workforce.
Consequently they are starting their own small businesses and are quietly getting rich. (Moves they wouldn't have otherwise made without the 'nudge.')
Fortunately I work for a small business owned by a husband & wife who are strong conservatives. For example if you mention immigration/speaking English she’ll say about her husband “don’t get him started” lol
Just for clarification — most Europeans have mixed ancestry considering all of “hordes from the east” that plagued the Roman Empire — so if you go way back there is not a homogeneous Europe.
Having spent time in Asia I know that most coastal peoples look Chinese but in the villages there is a more aboriginal look.
This has been true for lots of things, not just "diversity", but every other whiz-bang new idea the Corporate masters decide in their posh offices to cram down the throats of the folks who actually make stuff. I was so happy when the copy-everything-the-Japanese-do fad collapsed.
“You will revise your views of homosexuality, etc.” or be forced to seek employment elsewhere.
That was the exact policy at AT&T.
You are lucky. My point is there is diversity programing going on in society and my idiot boss has been programed by the TV and the NY Times not corporate diversity gangsters.
Rather than having a color blind society in 2007 we now have a “color preference” society. I can’t believe it but that is how it is.
Not true. It operates on the assumption that white, male employees must be punished for being just that.
As I often point out the only time in my life I was fired it was by a flaming-gay boss. He of course was hired to give the company some better diversity.
You are certainly right about that. Most of us are also descended from slaves, too. 25% of the population of the Roman empire were slaves. Do you want to get hung up on that or celebrate freedom today?
