Your kind of diversity doesn't count.

You can't go on that way in the modern world...
it's been getting smaller all throughout history.
Marco Polo started the big push... now, we
all must get along, since we posess pushbutton-
capabilities for anhilation.

What way?

The fact is, even if we are all the same deep inside, we have our
respective histories, cultures, languages and many other barriers, real
or abstract, that remind us on a daily basis that, when the chips hit
the pan, we are not all the same.

And yet... we are breathing the same air, drinking
the same water... that stuff doesn't stop at borders.
The more folks there are, the smaller the planet gets.
I'm suggesting we find similarities, not differences...
it's the similarities that will engender tolerance.

Celebrating your own culture? That's what
"diversity" is supposed to be about - right?

Not sure where you get *that*... seems like
the exact *opposite* of diversity to me.
You'd have to define 'celebrating', 'your own',
and 'culture'... AAMOF, Afro-Americans
*are* Southern Culture, for the most part.
Hog jowls, fatback, grits, corn pone...
these are things we have in common.

Unless you're white - my point, of course,
but you ignored it - as is typical on the left.

I'm white, as white as you. Find something
else to be special about... most of us here
are white.

Whitey sucks.

Hard fall from the mountaintop, isn't it?

I don't know about you, but I haven't fallen from anything.

Actually, neither have I... more like the water is
rising around us.

You want to beat your breast and moan "Mea
Culpa," you go right ahead - I'm sure you'll have
plenty of company. If you want to play this ***
by the PC rules, then you should get just as pissed
when you see "whitey" as you do when you see
"***" or "paki" or whatever. You don't, though.

None of it pushes my buttons, any more... got over
it. The proper epithet is 'wog', btw... 'paki' doesn't
have the punch to match '***'. 'Whitey' just
doesn't have the power, either... 'cracker' still doesn't
do it. 'Fucking rich white ***' still doesn't contain
the venom and history of '***'... I can't think of
one that does, and is applicable. Someone please help.
