In a White House often accused of being stacked with loyalists, President Obama’s national security adviser said Wednesday there are too many white people in key government posts, endangering national security because they think alike.
Speaking at Florida International University’s commencement, Susan E. Rice, who is black, said a diversified government workforce is more likely to yield “better outcomes” than a predominantly white one.
Referring to criticism that the U.S. national security workforce is “white, male and Yale,” Ms. Rice told the graduates, “In the halls of power, in the faces of our national security leaders, America is still not fully reflected.”
“By now, we should all know the dangers of ‘groupthink,’ where folks who are alike often think alike,” she said. “By contrast, groups comprised of different people tend to question one another’s assumptions, draw on divergent perspectives and experiences, and yield better outcomes.”
Her comments were reminiscent of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who said in a speech in 2001, before Mr. Obama appointed her to the high court, “I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.”
Ms. Rice elaborated in her speech on how having more minorities in the national security field would better protect the homeland.
“Intelligence analysts, diplomats and military officers who are native speakers may pick up subtle nuances that might otherwise go unnoticed,” she said. “Diplomats who can read cultural cues may better navigate the political and social currents of a foreign nation. In sum, leaders from diverse backgrounds can often come up with more creative insights, proffer alternative solutions and thus make better decisions.”
White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Mr. Obama agrees with that sentiment.

SUSAN WILL BE ABLE TO WRITE A BOOK ON IT WHILE SHE IS IN JAIL..... FOR A LONG TIME
gotta love the libtards who free themselves from logic AND make ridiculous statements....
SUSAN: diversity does not produce “better results”... and you can not give any logical argument to refute that statement... KNOWLEDGE TRUTH AND FACTS produce results...
DIVERSITY in and of itself will give you a lot of biased cockeyed points of view though .... and your racist point of view is an examle.... tower of babel is another...
DIVERSITY does the opposite of what America is about ....REWARD BASED ON INDIVIDUAL MERIT without reference to a persons race, sex or religion...
the libtard great society from the 60’s is a TOTAL FAILURE AND WASTE OF TRILLIONS OF TAXPAYER FUNDS....
The blacks are only about 13% of the total population and they seem to think they should have 87% control of this Republic.
19th-century racism makes a comeback. Your skin color determines how you think. All whites think alike, all blacks think alike, so to get a well-debated decision, you must have a mixture of races on a committee. How soon before they bring the Jews into the picture (all Jews think alike)?
Everything was racial with the Obama. Everything. Rather than the best we got one AA “first” for everything. Trump os going to spend years flusbing them out of the bureacracy.
Lying fraud Susan Rice has been a career-long “affirmative action” case who never would have advanced except that she is a “female of color”....
Out of college she was selected for the supposedly prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to study at Oxford U. When you consider what a dim intellect she has proved to be, that was surely based upon her skin color and genitalia.
In recent times she has been notable mainly for for lying to many news outlets about Benghazi, for serving as Obama’s mindless lackey, and now for “unmasking” private US citizens in top secret NSA surveillance intercepts.
She needs to be fully exposed and crushed by the Congress and WH. Shine the spotlight on all these malicious, dishonest, inept Obamanators!
Well, she is black and did not exercise good judgement during the Benghazi terrorist event. She was the chief spokesperson for the Obama admin lying episode concerning the anti-Muslim video being the cause of the attack and the deaths of the ambassador, his aide Sean Smith, and the two other defenders, Ty Woods, and Glen Doherty.
Why would she think that having diverse skin tones is helpful? Perhaps because she is incompetent?
Rice is also in the cross-hairs re possibly being the ringleader of the Obama Administration's surveillance and unmasking of members of the Trump campaign team.
Her (gag) qualifications are listed by the school stupid enough to hire her.
Any federal funds—tax dollars—received by this school should be terminated immediately....in light of Rice’s illegal activities in govt.
In addition to being a liar (Benghazi) and probably a felon (TBD), Rice is also a racist.
And that boys and girls is why Blacks split their voter nearly 50/50, uh don’t they?
And just like us the seem hellbent on displacing themselves with Hispanics.
Just out of curiosity, what is this racist Obungo toady up to these days?
Does she actually think she is even remotely relevant to anything American related?
You mean like the American-African too black and koranimal incompetent, treasonous 8 years?
