President Barack Obama surprised many at the National Prayer Breakfast when he lectured us, "Lest we get on our high horse and think this (barbarity) is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ." Obama went on to explain, "In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often (were) justified in the name of Christ." In Obama's mind, Western outrage at Islamic barbarism should be tempered by the remembrance of what Christians did a thousand years ago in the name of Christ. Plus, that outrage should be chastened by our own history of slavery and Jim Crow.
President Obama's vision is that of a man brainwashed through an academic vision of multiculturalism, in which American exceptionalism has no place. It's a vision that has been shaped by a longtime association with people who hate our country, people such as the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Weather Underground leader and Pentagon bomber William Ayers and Ayers' onetime fugitive wife, Bernardine Dohrn. A vision that sees a moral equivalency between what Christians did centuries ago and today's Islamic savagery is quite prevalent in academia. It's part of what's worshipped on most college campuses as diversity and multiculturalism.
College campus idiots — and that includes faculty members and administrators — call for the celebration of and respect for all cultures. In their eyes, it's racist Eurocentrism to think that Western values and culture are superior to others. But that's the height of stupidity. Ask your campus multiculturalist who believes in cultural equivalency: Is forcible female genital mutilation, as practiced in nearly 30 sub-Saharan African and Middle Eastern countries, a morally equivalent cultural value? Slavery is practiced in Sudan and Niger; is that a cultural equivalent?...
Multiculturalism is what is practiced today and has been for 40 years.
Assimilation is what was practiced in the beginning of the twentieth century.
Which has proven better for the U.S.A.?
Good article, thanks for posting.
We went from a melting pot to a tossed salad.
with nuts...

Obama hates us so much he doesn’t think we have the right to look down on people who behead others, sell women into slavery and rape young children.
That’s how much Obama and democrats hates us... How dare we act superior to a child rapist... how dare we think we’re better than people who burn men alive?
Well said, that’s precisely how he thinks.
How dare we act superior to beheaders, child rapists or those who burn men alive?
‘With nuts’ lOL. Good one!
God bless Walter Williams. The guy gets everything right.
“Multi-culturalism” is simply another facet of the war on Christianity and Christian/Western Culture.
Western Culture, based on Christianity, is
DEMONSTRABLY SUPERIOR
to all other cultures that the left would dilute it with.
There is no way for the left to prove otherwise.
Thank you for linking that Kas, what great comments.
The one from the teacher in New York on the certification and the reply to her by a retired teacher is not surprising but very sad.
The good teachers we have are being throttled by multiculturalists in academia.
