I guess I wasn't clear. Should have wrote the "imaginary need for diversity in all facets of our lives".

This current claim tha "diversity enriches our lives" is a lot of hogspit. Our country is full of diversity. Why can't those who seek it be allowed to, and those who don't feel the need for it, be allowed to congregate with whom they want? It's all a farce. Diversity in its current context forces people to focus on what makes us different. This naturally causes animosity.

Think about this; under president Reagan, while there was still some detractors, he focused on the fact that we are all Americans and we should be proud of that fact. We had the most patriotic non-war period in the last 50 years. What happened to that? It was destroyed by the "imaginary need for diversity". Since this push began we have never been more divided as a country. Everyone is focusing on their own little self-defined group and to Hades with the nation a whole.

In the recent discussions regarding the admissions practices at the University of Michigan, we heard, ad nauseum about how diversity makes the learning experience better. How? Does the fact that a white student is sitting next to a black student make them both learn math better. If so, how? The only place I could see diversity enhancing learning would be in a social studies class. And, we all know that all subjects in college today are predicated on the fact that social construct is the root of all learning. OMG, just writing that makes we want to spit up.

We, as nation, had better get back to the notion that we are one people or the end comes soon.

"E Pluribu Unum" means "One out of many" not "every man for himself".

Whatever button I pushed I'm glad I pushed it. I was happy to read more. Thank you.

Clinton really exacerbated this problem with his "conversations on race".

Another big problem is the Justice Department re election laws that regard "community" as ethnic groups whose voting power cannot be "diluted".

We are a country of individuals with individual rights not "group" rights.

Love your response to this tripe. We ARE ALL Americans. I am tired of the forced diversity. Look at the word itself and it says it. Diversity will never work, when forced. It will divide us and lead to the downfall of this country. As far as skin color goes, there is proof that we are all the same. During a Dallas/Pittsburgh game at Three Rivers Stadium, Michael Irvin caught a touchdown pass and was tackeled and slid a few yards on the hot turf. His left arm caught the brunt of the skid. When he got up, there was a patch of skin missing. Under the outer layer was a nice white inner layer. How can I prove that? I have the game on tape and can use it to argue the point.
