Diversity and Multiculturalism

Grand valley State University is the self-declared center of Michigan's multiculturalism. They spend millions of our dollars to convince us that acceptance, indifference, and tolerance are the right things to live by. I'm here to say that is not the way to go...

There is a common misconception that government can legislate away differences by forcing us to 'accept' others. This was the idea in the 'New South' during Reconstruction (a period of programs directly following the Civil War): that former slaves were not slaves and everything was great. That, naturally, didn't happen.

With the failure of that period of Reconstruction, the Freedmen's Bureau was created to establish and promote equality and a form of 'diversity' in society in the South. Again, that didn't happen.

When government gets involved and 'forces' what could and would happen naturally, we see a certain backlash. The backlash comes in forms of militancy (the Democrat's militant arm in the south: the KKK), rioting, and Affirmative Action Bake Sales.

The two wisest promoters of civil rights, Booker T. Washington and Martin Luther King, Jr., both believed that it was and is not government's responsibility to teach people how to be accepting. They both concurred that what they called the 'black culture' must change to be more like mainstream American culture (and by that I don't mean 'more like whites').

They thought that education, hard work, and sacrifice would lead the way acceptance of 'black culture.' This has not happened. Dr. King told us not to give 'the Negro' what we feel is 'his due' but to allow him to advance himself in his own right....not give him the means to advance without merit.

But I digress...

They told us that diversity is a good thing...I'll provide for you 2 original arguments against 'multiculturalism.'

1. Consider this situation: 100 people have cell phones and are asked to make them ring as loud as possible. Each ring is different, naturally. Insert 25 more people with different rings: does it really make a difference? No. Diversity is a pointless waste of time and money.

2. The European Union has banned genetically modified crops stating that the majority of growth-enhancing genetic modifications retards the crop's natural growth and will do harm to the greater population. Unnaturally forcing diversity's growth does the same to the result: retards it. It does to harm to the greater population in the form of cost, time, brain-washed thinking, and idiots in Congress.

Thank you and if you have a problem with it, leave a comment....
