LOL! My, my. How they have learned to thrash about in the rank undergrowth of the English language without saying anything at all.
In a word. no. E Pluribus Unum.
The Balkans have got diversity.
Fat lot of good it does them.
I guess we finally see the culmination of Rev. King's dream that some day people would be judged by the color of their skin, not by the content of their character.
Even the screw-ups.
Ping.
Yeah Im sure the Peoples Liberation Army (RedChina) gives a real big emphasis on “diversity”. Give me a break.
Silly me. I would have thought it was to train the next generation of leaders to keep our nation safe. But what do I know...I'm just a white male neanderthal.
Diversity is....a hoax.
What a bunch of Marxist BS. We used to value excellence and achievement now egalitarianism is the ultimate goal. The PTB have been trying for centuries if not thousands of years to contain, control and force “one world” mainly for nefarious reasons but even if for altruistic ideas the fact that you must force people into it destroys everything that ever made our country great. Western thoughts and ideas are NOT universal ideas.
So this drivel from our government begs the question just what is an American?
A few years ago, Professor Fleming was at the heart of a firestorm in SHIPMATE (USNA alumni magazine) over an aspect of the perceived preferential treatment given to minorities. He and I had a few heated email exchanges until I came to realize that he really does have the best interests of USNA, the USN and the nation at heart. I am now at least a lukewarm fan of his, although I would doubt that you will ever see him on FR. In any event Dr. Williams is as always right on target.
Diversity is the rationale people use to replace qualified white males with less qualified or unqualified women and minorities. Rather than choosing the “best” applicant (no matter what it looks like), it is an excuse to hire minorities on the basis that they bring something to the job that white males lack. No one has EVER shown that a racially diverse group functions better than a homogeneous one. In fact, I think all the available data shows that it significantly reduces productivity and cohesiveness. Diversity required that you believe that hiring less skilled workers INCREASES productivity, a proposition which is ridiculous on its face. Non-diverse groups are capable of phenominal accomplishments, like putting men on the moon. Does anyone seriously believe that we would have gotten there sooner if there had been a bunch of C students on the team?
This goes a long way to explaining the bumbling fool we have in the WH. How did he get there?
Diversity in itself is not a strength. Diversity is a potential weakness that must be overcome with unity -- a sense of shared identity and purpose. Diversity programs are destructive because they highlight differences at the expense of common identity and purpose. Such emphasis no differences is the essence of "Balkanization."
