Democrats hate Diversity, why do they claim to love it?
One of the main creeds of the democratic religion is an encompassing embrace of diversity. They love it! Won't hear a single word said against, no matter what the research shows the tradeoffs are. But when it comes to living their lives, do Democrats actually embrace being around people are different than them?
Not at all. When they capture institutions, like universities, they stop hiring people who disagree worth them. Almost 30 departments at Yale have zero Republicans in them. That' can't be done without intentional discrimination. Newsrooms, the entertainment industry all cheerfully blackball Republicans, publicly devout Christians etc.. They've been so ideologically captured that a liberal, lesbian, Jewish Trump critic is now considered way too right wing to be allowed to lead a newsroom. She's not one of "them."
And it's not only making their places of employment free of people who think differently than them, they make it personal. 41 percent of Democratic college students would not support a Republican-run business, 37 percent would not be friends with a Republican, and 30 percent would not work for one. (The Republican numbers regarding Democrats were 7, 5, and 7 percent.). https://x.com/robkhenderson/status/2008017809071325592?s=20 The fanaticism and desire to only be around those think exactly think them consumes their lives. The need to censor any dissent even on "free speech" forums, shows a compulsion to control conformity that would make Stalin proud.
It's not diversity democrats want, its a hive mind where no one challenges them. It's the opposite of true diversity.
People who think like this "41 percent of Democratic college students would not support a Republican-run business, 37 percent would not be friends with a Republican, and 30 percent would not work for one" are the types who communists rely on to rat on their friends and family for saying the wrong things. They become ideological zealots, as bad the worst types of religious ones.
I guess everyone is entitled to their opinions, even when they're hilariously moronic like this seed. Oh No! You mean people who support racial and religious diversity might exclude those who believe in anti-diversity and push a white conservative Christian only agenda? Oh No! That's like crying that the "Carnivore BBQ Faire" isn't being fair when it chose not to invite the Impossible Meat Co. to represent their not-meat burgers. Boo fucking hoo. Why would anyone believe they should get a seat at the table while actively trying to prevent others from having the same?
Fascinating to watch progressives rationalize punishing anyone who doesn't parrot the same platitudes they do. Thanks for a window into the borg.
Diversity just means everyone thinking exactly the same to a progressive...
Just curious..
Are you in the percentages above that would not support a republican owned business, not be friends with a republican or work for one?
For the first one, how would you know a business is republican owned, unless they advertise it?
Number two.....If you would not be friends with a republican, it just highlights the bubble that leftists would prefer to be in instead of living with reality.
Number three...If a republican owned and democrat owned the same type of business, and the republican owner offered more in salary, would you turn that offer down just to go to a like minded business?
I have no problem being friends with rational intelligent Americans regardless of their party affiliation. With that said, I see no reason to believe anyone who voted for Trump is rational, intelligent or even truly American as I believe they are more loyal to a lying felon than to the Constitution.
"Momma" did not raise "no" fool. Take that bigoted and self-righteous republicans money and use it for PROPER causes of service to all in the community. Even if it makes for 'gagging' on the politics. As long as one can stand being around such "forces." Of course, and you may agree when the 'workplace' becomes NAUSEAUS—time to leave for sure!
The adjacent question is this: Could I properly and truly be friends with UNCOMPROMISING WHITE MEN AND WOMEN who want me to bow down to their wishes and whims of who I should be in the United States? Should I accept that "America First" is verbalized by WHITE CHRISTIAN MALES as white people suppressing and defining what my ROLE in the United States is? Ought I to yield and appease White Male domination of the United States forever and make white males happy, 'fat,' wealthy, and comfortable (with me)?
I would have no problem hiring a competent worker regardless of their party affiliation, but they wouldn't last long if they were using business hours to try and debate politics or push a political agenda. Doesn't matter whether they're left or right, debates over politics and religion should stay out of the workplace. Political affiliation is not and should not be on any employment application.
With that said, if I'd interviewed an applicant who started making comments during the interview about their support for Trump and how great he is for this country, I'll admit, I'd likely consider that proof that this employee would be disruptive to the work environment with their clear need to push their political views and would waste time and cost my company money so I would likely not hire them. And I would feel the same if they started raging about fascists and Trump destroying the country. While I may also feel Trump is trying his best to destroy our Constitutional Republic, that's not something that should be debated during work hours.
First, I wholly agree with your points !
Second, I wish to point the focus of Bugsy's comment:
All things being equal (as the saying goes) in the work place-Yes. We see it happen all the time as long as politics are kept where they belong-personal and private. The money gained I would use for my survival, purposes, and causes.
The 'disquieting' question is this: Would a republican seeing me (black/homosexual) be willing to expense wages to me!
[✘]
In response to that question my answer would be the same but with me in the applicants' shoes. If the boss starts talking about how great Trump is and is pushing his own political agenda on employees even if indirectly, I'm not taking that job. Though, to be fair, I suppose it would depend a lot on how much more that salary was. Are we talking 10%? Double? Triple? Quadruple? I'll admit, I could suffer through the workday with a loudmouth MAGAite boss if it was for the right salary.
A principled decision pragmatically made.
In my case, I could work for and with MAGAs (have done so with many "alpha male" types before) as long as they keep the "Archie Bunkerism" conduct mainly between themselves. As a black male, the majority (not all) of my bosses have been male who express themselves openly-if not always honestly. If any of those types came to know my 'T' they did not trip or flip out on me because of it. That being said, I can imagine I was let go a time or two by bosses that learnt of my 'state' and silently released me for cause.
Now then, to your point of being the boss hiring a "MAGA-Alpha". . . to be blunt: You would not be able to trust where he or she is in their head! I watched a series, "Homeland" (about CIA types) and it reminded so much of those times in my life where I was 'backstabbed' by someone pretending to be a friend and it was not really so. For instance, when he or she needed something for their family or 'club' - at that point I became expendable as a friend or 'fellow.' . . . And, a 'dime' phone call action kept quiet occurred.
It's no way to live all one's life: But, "we" did. We had no other choice.
hope. It just means that it is repulsive hanging out with far-right wing hate mongering fascists. Diversity only goes so far.
They're not, though. That's the point of the article.
Or... more accurately... that self righteous people might enthusiastically exclude those who fail to validate their self-righteousness completely.
So, what you are saying Sean, is that democrats may embrace racial or ethnic diversity, they don't embrace diversity of thought or even religious diversity. Well, I think the proof is right here for our readers to see every day.
They embrace racial diversity only to the extent of ideological conformity. Thomas chatterton Williams wrote a couple weeks ago about how the woke attack and exclude blacks and other minorities who think outside the box they are supposed to remain in. Look at the racist vitriol they attack Clarence Thomas with. He should be a hero who lovers of diversity fight over to teach at their universities etc.. but he’s a black who offers more than skin color, so he’s public enemy one.
As everyone can see, there is little in the way of a rebuttal.
Wow. Clarence Thomas, the AFFIRMATIVE ACTION recipient that gained access to higher education though the process, achieved his highest success ("best") serving 30 plus years as a 'heel' on SCOTUS supporting ideology that insists "AMERICAN FIRST" policies are the way to go. Policies which RACISTS like Jake Lang uses to tell blacks to 'know their place' in the future plan of America and that is under total WHITE-domination.
I challenge you to defend Clarence Thomas' record of alleged "diversity' any time. Let's do this together!
Clarence Thomas is a criminal sexual predator who sold his high office to fascists. Doesn't matter what color he is. But he is the token black man to racists.
The new CBS Evening News spent exactly 18 seconds (I counted them) on the Jan 6 five year anniversary, and half of those 18 seconds was about the J6ers having a reunion party at the capitol steps.
CBS News is now MAGA-adjacent. .
A perfect example of my point.
CBS Evening News had an 18 second "segment" on the J6 anniversary, and this was part of it
Give us a break.
And as we all know it was worse than 9/11 or Pearl Harbor /S.
Hey, ah, what about the topic of the article?
The seeder brought up Bari Weiss.
But not Jan 6th. You posted an article on that, and I gave you my recollection.
Bari Weiss version of CBS Evening News kicked off two nights ago. Last night they had 18 seconds about J6 on a notable anniversary of the event. Most of those 18 seconds were showing traitors like Enrique Tarrio holding a reunion outside the Capitol.
Get serious.
Maybe because they realize the vast majority of Americans do not give a shit about J6?
Where is your outrage that left wing media absolutely ignored the Minnesota Somali fraud?
Or is it just what you support that should get the coverage?
Twice what it deserved. It was funny to see the dems try and squeeze more out of it with their little picture op on the steps.
What is it MAGA stands for again? Oh nevermind, MAGA supporters do not know or have been sworn into silence to say. I guess I will just continue with my own narrative about it. Here's the deal: If MAGA supporters don't know or can't say what they are about freely, then I am FREE to decide for myself. . . based on personal analysis!
Make America Great Again - you have an issue with that desire??
What does "great" America look like to a Native American? Please elaborate. And I will tell you if I agree with it.
Great for who? Racists and fascists?
When was it great for native Americans? When is this 'again' that you speak of?
Really don't care whether you agree with it or not. How 'bout honoring some treaties/contracts with Native Americans?
So, you know those two pretty well? How 'bout making it great for all citizens - LEGAL citizens - and not for the new "special" class - the Dem/Lib Illegal Aliens?
When people can open their eyes, fill their hearts, listen with their ears and taste their words - that's when America was great - started after WWII and ended with Vietnam.
Definitely not for racist fascists. Go find your own small-minded country.
The voters already made sure it wouldn't be nice for them. The "racists and fascists" were replaced last presidential election.
‘Go find your own small-minded country.’
So you want him to find his own small minded country. Does that mean you already are a part of one?
And, how "great" will America be for Native Americans if it returns to its "old ways" of Empire?
Repost: When was it great for native Americans? When is this 'again' that you speak of?
Do tell this assembly what black Americans directly have to do with historical Native American treatises and contracts made with the United States. . . .
No - would just find folks who hate the world and think of nothing else - similar to many on NT
"How 'bout honoring some treaties/contracts with Native Americans?
Show me where anything is being said 'bout going back to the "old ways".
What empire?
Ya know - and this is one of the very reasons why I personally don't like getting into discussions with you. You ALWAYS jump in and twist everything said to suit your flavor of discussion.
The imperialistic worldview (Empire). Native Americans tend to have EXPERIENCED imperialism as a people and from it entered into treatises and contracts which they wish and plead to be honored. Now, . . . well, the theory of Western Hemisphere-U.S domination ("Don-roe doctrine") is in play and most definitely will include NEW TREATISES AND CONTRACTS and I think somebody like you may have a strong (and important) OPINION about those kinds of things, yes?
We're just having a discussion. At 3.5.2 you approached me with a question (which RDTC extricated himself. . . .):
I have always thought America IS great. Indeed, we were on track to correcting some of the policies that separated, divided, tribalized, and even "haunted" our country and our status in this world. You may understand that to be GREAT. . . a nation needs to at proper times walk in humility with other nations. . .we, the United States decided to align itself with the good of the world in hopes of our greatness being recognized, considered, and respected by the onlooking and seeking world.
But some are not content with a nation of blended people (they come from everywhere in the world because we ARE great already-we build it and they come). . .some want to consider their PART in the whole to be the SUPERIOR formulate: Financial, Economics, Social norms, and Culture. . . and subordinate the other INGREDIENTS that constitute the whole of 'US'!
I honor and societally agree and CHERISH our Native American 'body' of people(s). . . I want the treatises and contracts written and promise kept. . . . And strongly believe that will aid in making the United States thoroughly Great! I do not like that Native American people(s) feel perpetually STIFFED by their 'parent' adjacent-intersecting Government.
I think the aspirations of liberty, justice, and prosperity should extend to all of us-by a government that listens to '. . . (O)f the people, for the people, and by the people." Emphasis on: ". . .the People." (That's US!) And, should be honored and allowed to mean something positive at all times.
Oh, that's right. The Democrats did hold that candle light vigil.
This would make Orwell's Big Brother crimge!
I think CBS News is a joke too.
We are all waiting for a rational rebuttal.
Cue the theme song for final Jeopardy....
In this case, the extra long extended version.
I do not wish to join a cult. My life has never been "everything Trump." And I will not sit down and agree with people whom can not be pragmatic but want to TAKEOVER my life and that of everybody in the Western Hemisphere. It looks bad and will FEEL worst: Claustrophobic.
So, no diversity of thought. Well, that was the point, wasn't it?
That does not follow, in my opinion. Make it MAKE SENSE or . . . .!
I am an American, Black person, and homosexual. By definition, if I am true to my convictions (you can determine if that is so or not from what you read of me) I am a practitioner of DIVERSITY. So MAGA can project all the stupid bulls--it it wants, and the issues between the two "opposing factions" will continue to fester. . . for a new and another long a** year!
Allies: "Hey, we support diversity and inclusion, and we want to work with our global partners to foster a strong robust Western Democracy around the globe that supports freedom for all people regardless of race, gender or religion."
Nazi's: "Oh really, well you guys aren't inviting us are you! Not very inclusive of you! Just because we condemn half or more of you as racially inferior apes and divergent sexual deviants doesn't mean you get to exclude us! No! Who cares if we spit on diversity! We shall use that as our wedge issue and claim those who support diversity aren't being very diverse unless they include those opposed to diversity! Ha Ha! We win!".
It really don't take no light to see through 'them.' (Yes, it's a line from a Jeffrey Osborne song. Yes, it uses a double-negative).
Can you give examples how anyone is trying to take over yours, and everyone in the Western hemisphere, lives?
MAGA, wants examples: Use your own professional and personal EXAMPLES of bitching and moaning when MAGA can't get its way with liberals! Furthermore, this rather stupid TACTIC (thanks to MAGA supporter Ben Shapiro) won't work with me. Either deal with REALITY and PRAGMATIC SOLUTIONS or we have no choice but to continue whatever the ____ this is!
That was a "no".
Yes, stall 'out' and figuratively 'crash land.'
Look to the dissension in MAGA world: Who is being kept and who is on the outs! It is obvious anybody not in LOCKSTEP with (and behind) Trump will be PRIMARIED.
