RE: Diversity? Seriously? That is what you call diversity? No wonder I hate when I hear someone say diversity these days.
Personally, I can't stand diversity purely for the sake of diversity. While there is value in exposure to different cultures and ideas, most of that value is lost if someone is forced into that situation.
For the most part, it is human nature to want to be around people who are like you and who you share values and commonality with. And you know what? That is OKAY. It does not make you a racist or a bigot to want to be around people you are comfortable with.
Personally I think this whole concept of forcing diversity down people's throats is creating a backlash. I never used to think about anything in terms of race, but the identity politics culture is currently inescapable these days. It's very annoying to constantly have other people on a soap box preaching at you when you are literally minding your own business and trying to just live your life.
You should think more about things in terms of race, because racism is real, I was blessed to see it in one of it's most in your face forms, the treatment of the gypsies by the Romanians, a racism that is actually pervasive throught the world against the Roma in UK and to the rest of europe, and all the way to their very begining of the lowest class of the low class in the ancient indian hierarchy still in force today.
The only racism doesn't exist are these few who have been awash as "what racism" ever since the unicorn, MLK somehow changed things with a fucking march, Grow the Fuck UP, racism in america is obvious from the treatment of the bottom rung of the ladder, to the unmatched genocidal conquest of the land by slaves 100 years after slavery had been abolished in the Motherland, where people still denied racism or excused it but did it a lot more bluntly even if it was fabricated directly for the purpose of subjugating others, they treated their slaves nice, and they had no problem with a Freed Black Person.
Forced diversity can become racism as well. When diversity becomes "anything but white" then that is still racism.
Race doesn't matter one iota to me. I don't actually give a damn about race.
I care about who you are, and I don't see that as defined by skin color, or race. Your mind, your personality, your beliefs, your creations, your destructions. These are all important to me.
True diversity cannot occur if those things are homogenized into everyone thinking the same or being treated as "Racist" simply for disagreeing. That isn't diversity at all. That is conformity.
The point I was making is that racism, or socioeconomic segregation and systemic discrimination is something that you ought to recognize and acknowledge.
Race doesn't matter one iota to me. I don't actually give a damn about race.
Racism as opposed to bigotry manifests itself in inequality in justice and punishment, healthcare and education, heritage and history, culture conceived from slavery amid bloodsoaked soil of genocidal wars presented as manifest destiny, a culture presented in a certain light by the same powers that had not one but two World Science Fair themed on Eugenics , the easy to sweep away into obscurity, the history of the science behind discrimination. Tell me again about forced-diversity.
History doesn't matter as well, reality as well.
Yeah, you are blind to history, blind to reality, color blind, because your opinion is that racism is judging someone by the color of their skin which is actually reverse racism, forced diversity and don't mind the hanging negro in the oak.
What things? True diversity is a blabbering point that's avoiding the obvious racism evident through history and neatly discarded and avoided through these talking points standing in that absence, because it's not about anything other than Generational Trauma which cannot be healed without acknowledgement and which will continue to fester a divisive sentiment since most have a problem even contemplating the reality of racism outside the framework of bigotry or hurling insults, and racism is akin to a kick to the teeth each chance you take a chance or dare consider yourself equal, and this figurative treatment hasn't gone away, it's only morphed into a disregard and indifference by choice, it's akin to you choosing not to see history and reality, a fine place to discuss or contemplate from upon what you've more or less agreed to being mitigated to reverse racism and forced diversity, in the context of I don't even care. Even Steven would mean all work done by former slaves is owed to their prodigy and as rightful heirs their prodigy would be an economic force that wouldn't be matched, and right about now if you're trembling thinking about all these blacks having money. The disparaging socioeconomic differences are the result of engineered and orchestrated Generational Cultural And Economic Robbery and it takes a great deal of denial to avoid the facts, the last place where the dialogue of racism could be had is in front of some syndicated show, even that silly awards show parrots the same sentiment of divisive indifference to history and blaring abortion of culture that's passed off as hot, now, raw, real. No, that's only an abortion of culture and hardly anyone in that room beside the likes of Errikha or Lauren could begin to integrate the history and reality of racism while many hardly open to opening their eyes to it let alone resolve the trauma that ultimately affected them.
