Diversity is division

Unity is strength

God appoints a life span to every nation. Built in are factors which bring each to its end. Mercifully, corrupt government and culture end up getting eliminated.

Chaos Isn't a Pit.

Chaos is a Ladder!

Who cares if the country burns if you can be King of the Ashes.

Even onetime diversity advocate Oprah Winfrey has had second thoughts about the lack of commonality in America. She recently vowed to quit using the word "diversity" and now prefers "inclusion."

Hey, Oprah, "inclusion" doesn't do it, either. The words you are seeking are "shared values" and "common goals". Anything that strays too far from that can only lead to chaos and even eventual ruin.

Maybe you'll get there at some point in your life.

The Left's obsession with "diversity" is really a war on heritage--and always has been. Diversity.

It is being used against cultural continuity, the preservation of sovereignty, and all that once made America the envy of the world.

I think it is POSSIBLE to have a relatively stable diverse society given the right circumstancess. But for that to happen different ethnic groups need to be willing to assimilate into the larger dominant culture and then do so.

Leftist Muticultaralism OTOH does not work. Instead of assimilation its attitude is “why assimilate? who is to say that any culture is better than any other?” Or worse they try to make the host culture bend to accommodate the immigrants (You see this especially in Europe where there are Sharia courts etc.) Couple this with parties of the left who constantly try to encourage ethnic grievances and senses of victimization in order to gin up votes for their parties, and you have a recipe for disaster.

The effect of diversity is clearly explained in scripture in the story about King Nebuchadnezzar and his dream. Read Daniel 2:31ff and it will give a clear picture of what happens.

Daniel 2:31 “You, O king, were looking and behold, there was a single great statue; that statue, which was large and [ao]of extraordinary splendor, was standing in front of you, and its appearance was awesome.
32 The head of that statue was made of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,
33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.
34 You continued looking until a stone was cut out without hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and crushed them.
35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed [aq]all at the same time and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them was found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

And then, in vss. 36-38, Daniel tells what the statue represents:

Daniel 2:36 “This was the dream; now we will tell its interpretation before the king. 37 You, O king, are the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, the strength and the glory;
38 and wherever the sons of men dwell, or the beasts of the field, or the birds of the sky, He has given them into your hand and has caused you to rule over them all. You are the head of gold.

Then, Daniel tells him that other kingdoms will rise up.

Daniel 2:39 After you there will arise another kingdom inferior to you, then another third kingdom of bronze, which will rule over all the earth.
40 Then there will be a fourth kingdom as strong as iron; inasmuch as iron crushes and shatters all things, so, like iron that breaks in pieces, it will crush and break all these in pieces.
41 In that you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, it will be a divided kingdom; but it will have in it the toughness of iron, inasmuch as you saw the iron mixed with common clay.
42 As the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of pottery, so some of the kingdom will be strong and part of it will be brittle.
43 And in that you saw the iron mixed with common clay, they will combine with one another in the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, even as iron does not combine with pottery.

Now, although God goes on to explain the His kingdom, the church, will roll down as a stone and crush all of the other kingdoms (end of time prophecy), it is important in the context of this post to say something clearly...the Bible says that EVEN if men combine races (by intermarrying), the cultures from which they come will NOT combine and there will be a problem. Diversity does not work.

This country was founded on “E Pluribus Unum” or, Out of many, One. That is what made us a great nation not “Ex unus Plurimas” (I hope that’s right).
