Theodore Dalrymple has said, multiculturalism is a "divide and conquer" strategy devised by the left to break down the institutions which resist the imposition of socialism. The allegation is a coldly serious one: Liberals intend to inject racial discord into a society to weaken the society to the point where it gives up on itself and accepts socialism.

Accepting the premise, means that we are in a lose lose situation. Even as we decry the very cynicism of playing the race card as Obama had done, or as we decry the racism of affirmative action, or as the Brits complain of their ill-treatment as whites by a bureaucracy committed to political correctness, we think that we have unmasked an evil. We think that once the evil is identified society will take steps to correct it.

The diabolical implication of the divide and conquer strategy which is the essence of multiculturalism, is that our reaction, our indignation, is just as strategically effective to the left as the inequity visited upon us itself. The left is in a win-win situation. The more they play the race card, the more we become indignant, the more the races are set against each other.

Nathan, my compliments. A brilliant analysis. I will use your arguments in my own circle of friends and relatives. I've have long believed the exact same things but have not been able to put it into as good words as you just did. Thanks again.

Very eloquent sir. Hat tip.

So then, is the Christ-like answer to simply turn-the-other-cheek, thus breaking the cycle of resentment?

I understand Dalrymple’s point, but to me evil, injustice (as in Affirmative Action), and falsehoods need to exposed to the light of day.

I was about to acknowledge that the Socialist’s diabolical strategy is a very clever one, but then realized that they are simply destroying; destroying centuries-old institutions, which any fool with a claw-hammer can do. It is the assemblage of an organized, just, constuctive society that is difficult.
