I caught a radio ad promoting Diversity the other day on the Dennis Miller show. Here’s a partial transcript:
Obviously White young girl: “Gee, you work with lots of people who don’t look like you at all!”
White mother: “What do you mean?”
Girl: “Well, there are Asian people, African-American people, Latino people–”
Mother: “We all work together as a team.”
Girl: “Aren’t they different from you?”
Mother: “In a way, yes. But those differences are good. They mean different ways of seeing things, different ways of thinking things, different ways of doing things.”
Girl: “But if those differences are so good where you work, why does everyone where we’re living look just like us?”
Wise Announcer: “Diversity shouldn’t be left behind at work each day. Prepare your children for the coming global life that lies ahead. Your family doesn’t live in a 9-to-5 world. Why should Diversity?”

It's completely backwards and illogical because this kind of thing only works in a vacuum where there's no such thing as any one thing being better than any other thing--it's all "different" so of course there's no way to say "This is good, and this other thing is not," because then you're linking ideas to skin tone. It's anti-intellectualism at its finest.
Yes,they run them during Rush Limbaugh here in Atlanta. They are
unbelievably sophomoric and insulting. If I thought i could get through to Rush,
I would call about it.
The disaster of moral equivalence. The national suicide of multiculturalism. A nation can have a population composed of different races, and perform just fine as long as they share the same culture (as the United States used to), but a nation that has varied and competing cultures is headed for catastrophe. It was ever thus.
I am not sure if it is disturbing, but it sure is creepy and stupid. These types of ads engage us as if we were some type of zombie children who can be nurtured and/or coaxed into becoming compliant and obedient Globalists.
Ya know, stupid they may be, but they are likely hitting their mark. Zombie children sounds about right. :))
And I couldn't agree with you more.
I have heard a variation here in Atlanta complete with the “but you live in an all white neighborhood” here in Atlanta. It was the Council on Better Living or some crap. I went to their website but of course there was no way to leave a comment and did not want to use company email.
Diversity stuffed down our throat in my area has resulted in an increase in crime and we all know when Habitat built the neighborhood versus the increase.
Be “an ethnic” full time because you are forced to be “an ethnic” at work (because the left - special interests, media, educrats and ‘rats have forced your company to embrace ‘ethnicity’ with the threat of discrimination claims). ...Fascism
IIRC the contract for Rush’s show after those incidents does include control over all local content advertising aired during his show.
Yes, where I work there are special associations based on race, gender and sexual identity. Unless you’re a white heterosexual male, then you’re on your own.
Anyone who ever tried to work on a mid 60's British sports car would tell you that this idea is entirely, utterly wrong. You'd also have a hard time selling this to a buddy of mine, who had an IT project go in the toilet because of "differences" in the team. I work with a lot of "different" kinds of people, and "different" just means they're different. "Diversity" adds NOTHING to their skill set. If anything, it takes away from their abilities, if English is their second language.
I'd also guarantee that if conservatives had the funds to run these kinds of ads, and include "political diversity" which included conservatism, liberals would be apoplectic. At the end of the day, we're all just people, no matter where we grew up, with all of the skills we were born with or cultivated. Our cultures make very little difference in our abilities, or our usefulness to a work team, in my experience.
The bottom line of these ads, which we as FReepers all recognize, and belittle, is that they're propaganda pieces intended to intimidate us. The underlying message is "Shut your filthy mouth, you disgusting racist, and deal with whatever bizarre cultural idiocies you see around you".
Yes
Notice that only Whites are being lectured to. Because Liberal fascists believe that only Whites can be racists.
Also, as is typical, the Libs do the exact opposite of their pretext.
In the ad, they label anyone not White as being different. Oh, oh, but, but different is good yeah that’s it. (See...I’m not a racist)
Liberals prove their embedded racism every time the try to “help” the poor little colored people.
Liberals are racists in every sense. In the ad they manage to slam everyone at once, including and especially Whites.
It’s amazing how short our memories are, collectively. You’d think the balkanization we’ve seen REPEATEDLY would get the message across to the Pelosi crowd. It doesn’t. Like the Samuel Johnson quote about second marriages, multiculturalism is the triumph of hope over experience.
In his case, I think it's more appropriate to say "Obama, faux intellectualism at its finest" seeing how he has all the poses of the intellectual without any of the actual content.
Regarding your final comment, the left really strives to define the terminology. When you consider that it was the communists who first applied the term "fascist" to Hitler in order to wash that "socialist" label off, you realize it's the most basic of their drives--control the language, and you can meld the thought. (And when you consider the use of the "fasces" being the idea that one of the sticks in the bundle may break but the bunch is more powerful...well, you see where I'm going.)
Thank you
