    Who's selecting anything based on race?
    What are you referring to?

    Can't be AA, for it's been shown because it's true, AA is a minority based program. It's been shown that ad nauseum in many threads.

    You think you are funny. Yeah you are funny alright.

    You know what calling somebody a racist means? It means they ain't with it, can't get with it, and never will be with it. It's the same the thing nxxxxx means. You would not be laughing if you were an arm's length away.

    The OP mentioned 'Diversity being pushed by the media'.

    Racist how? You can't prove the benefits of diversity. That's not too far from a religious belief.

    Yeah, but discussing that has been misconstrued as racist. I don't
    know why he didn't just call me a nxxxxx. Because that's what he meant.

    What does diversity of skin color specifically add? I'd argue that having higher standards will result in some diversity, being you are drawing from a larger pool of people than just whites.

    Eliminating racism and prejudice will yield better results because it opens the door to those larger pools of people. Diversity is different. Diversity, outside of elimination of prejudice, will not yield better results.
    Forcing hiring in the name of diversity as an ideal will only reduce results. I am only stating the facts. You have to decide what should be prioritized, diversity or results, but you cannot genuinely argue that you can have both in excess.

    Yes I understand they tend to call anyone racist and biggot who veers outside their cultish doctrine. Still, I wonder about your use of "monkey". Sheep would have been a better term I think but you chose this because of some need to poke the bear or troll them? Surely you know leftists associate monkeys with blacks...

    I didn't mention skin color - I didn't imply it either. I mean, did you even read what you're responding to?

    No. Diversity is a good thing as long as all members are competent. Diverse simply means different - it is not just race. It's gender, places of origin, age. What you want are smart people who can perceive different solutions.

    Of course it is intentional. Trolling is also an intentional behavior.

    Not controversial just has no basis in reality.

    All of which is only situationally beneficial depending on the job and the work being done. And if it is beneficial, a merit based approach will yield more diverse results. But forcing diversity for the sake of diversity will not yeild better results in most situations.

    If you create any kind of race based benefits or programs you are creating a racist program.

    To figure out if it's racist, progressives need to establish if they would be comfortable with the same program swapping minorities with white people.

    Programs can target class. But not race. Not "minorities". Target poor people. That's not racist. Targeting minorities? That's racist.

    You've never demonstrated **** all in any thread. You've only denied your racist programs are racist. Lol

    You say 'people not being allowed to coerce you into assimilating' "is assimilating"? How does that make any sense?

    Team projects will be based on a variety of different skills to complete that project. Hence the goal would be to make the project profitable, reliable, relatable to the customer, etc. So, that idea is not going to work either.

    What the hell is Black American culture? Watermelon and fried chicken for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? I think you are grossly over stereotyping here with a very, very broad brush.

    As for self victimiization, isn't that what Conservatives now do any and everytime they lose an election, a bet, or are shown they do know not what they do or talk about?

    That is what conservatives are pushing for in their failed attempt not to understand what is diversity. If you think diversity means race, think again. It never was about race exclusively.

    No one is selecting strictly based on race for any job or college application. Race, along with a dozen other factors, is what is done. What cannot happen, is you CAN"T select a person strictly based on race, which is what the conservative want if they get rid of the Civil Rights Act

    Race and a bunch of other things that have no relevance in the workplace.

    Afirmative action is restitution for the years of suffering caused by jim crow laws, not racism.

    Black culture in America

    - votes democratic
    - thinks the system is out to get them
    - thinks all their failures are everyone else's fault
    - doesn't parent their children and certainly doesn't value traditional family values
    - abuses social services
    - thinks they above the law, entitled
    - romanticizes the gangster lifestyle
    - it's self victimizing, over entitled and now spoiled by social media who places black people on a pedestal of do no wrong.

    The stats don't lie and their video evidence to back up this cancerous attitude that's only getting worse as social media places black people high on the victim totem pole thus allowing them carte blanche to run foul over society. And this **** is only getting worse, regardless of all the over representation.

    Naw we ain't gonna play that tit for tat game. All that will result from that dipshit ideology is racial divide, segregation, hate and violence. Which we are seeing.

    So pick another direction or enjoy society falling apart, play dumb and feint ignorance.

    Personally, I would have asked a different question. "What is so great about diversity of skin color"? My answer: Nothing. Because skin color has absolutely no bearing on the worth of a person, their ideology, knowledge, or character.

    Diversity of thought however can and has lead to many great things in life. Such as the USA. Computers. Flight. Medicines. Architectual marvels. And SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many other things. It is simply impossible to mention them all. Of course diversity of thought is a double edged sword. It has its negatives. But the positives far outweigh the negatives imo.

    I said the U.S. is the most diverse country in the world and you answered with a list of crime rates?
