Modern dogma holds that diversity is one of the greatest qualities a society can enjoy, that it bestows many advantages.  But what does this imply?  Well, by definition "diversity" refers to differences among groups.  Now, not only is it illogical to assume that every one of these differences will be flattering, the supposition that diversity is beneficial implies otherwise.  After all, if diversity is beneficial, it is only because certain groups bring qualities or strengths to the table that others do not.  And, if a given group possesses a certain unique strength, then other groups are wanting in that area relative to it.

Any which way you care to slice it, this is a corollary of diversity dogma.

I don't see how you get around that argument.

Yup, who says all ‘differences’ are good ones?

Blacks are more likely to kill other blacks?

According to PC people, all whites are racist, and apparently can’t jump.

I mean, for every groups’ unflattering stereotypes, there goes some comediens’ new stand-up routine.

The real source of all the strife and division, and the solution. Words of wisdom from Mitt Jeffords.

There will be no peace or rest in this fallen world until the ruler of this world is taken out of the way; the ruler of Darkness who has instructed all of his forces to continually supply the inhabitants of this world with innumerable reasons for one to judge, to accuse, to find fault with, and to condemn others. The Lord has now opened my eyes to see that the final battle, it will be the forces of Darkness with all of its reasons to judge, to hate, and to kill pitted against the armies of the Light that will be accompanied with the mercies, and grace, and forgiveness of God: Judgment against the love of God. Then, in the fullness of time, those who have come into agreement with Father’s love shall arise as the Sons of God when Jesus Christ comes to glorify them with his power, and his wisdom, and his love, and his strength, and his goodness, and his blessings, and his honor, and his name. These are they who will then come forth to perform all of the purposes that Father’s heart beats to: to love and to be loved. Then shall the kingdom of God come, and the will of God will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Then shall mercy triumph over judgment; life over death; and the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdoms of our God. I then realized that this spiritual Valley of Megiddo, wherever it may be, is the valley where it all ends as well as the valley where it will all begin. Glory be to God.

Diversity sucks. We all know that. It’s a false concept brought to give the powers that be more control. Control is everything.

One of the best books I’ve read on stereotyping, without the liberal agenda, is “Who Am I?” by Emanon. The author writes a series of satirical essays and the reader has to figure out whether the writer is a man or woman, religious denomination, political affiliation, sexual orientation, etc etc. Very funny and a great read...especially about poltics and Iraq.

Modern dogma holds that diversity is one of the greatest qualities a society can enjoy.....

It is also the belief, that having a thousand "diverse" opinions is better than having only one well thought out opinion.

RAYCPA’s maxim:

Stereotypes are very useful until more specific information can be gathered.

think about all the times that whites are characterized as nerdy, lacking rhythm or liking mayonnaise

I inevitably laugh at these characterizations. I must be a racist.

I don't see how you get around that argument.

Here's how, from the article:

If a truth hurts, since you can't destroy the Truth, you destroy the truth-teller.

It has been my experience that Stereotypes come from somewhere other than the imagination. Stereotypes come from repeated observations. They should put some ice on it.

Robert Putnam: Diversity Is Our Destruction by Patrick J. Buchanan

E Pluribus Unum: Diversity and Community in the Twenty-first Century by Robert Putnam

Robert Putnam is liberal Harvard sociologist who was surprised at the results that he found. He also wrote "Bowling Alone." Although Putnam's paper is long, you'll understand why the title of Buchanan's review is not being provocative for a xenophobic rant.

Are the generalizations true?

All generalizations are bad.

the only generalizations that are correct are as follows:

whites are racists
white men (can’t say black or any other) are violent abusers
conservatives are dumb

you can say any of the above and it’s okie dokie.
