“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

Now how does the content of these tapes and the message they are sending gibe with this statement by MLK?

That being said, I had one of those “diversity” classes, and I got up and asked if I could use the work niggardly at work.

The teacher almost choked! It was a sweet moment. I was able to run rings around her logically.

The Army’s naughty word list…

Have you ever used the word “blackmail” in a conversation at work? Or the phrase “white lie”? “Caught red handed”? “Savage”? “Guinea pig”? “Canuck”? “Black list”? All are forbidden in the workplace at the U.S. Army Intelligence Security C…

Sorry the majority of white people do not hold all the money and power. Most white people are in the same boat as everyone else. I’m so tired of hearing this bogus excuse as if white people get everything handed to them on a silver platter when the truth is the majority of white people work very hard for everything they have and then get belittled for having done so well.

Retfireman/mom2jack;
I understand this perfectly well, its definately affected the US military and there was a time in the recent past where a persons ethnicity was a basis for promotion vice test scores and evals.

At U of M, we generally have two types each club on campus-one for African-Americans, and one for everybody else. Imgaine; two chemistry clubs, two future teacher clubs, seperate fraternity/sorority, and etc.. The sad thing is that my tutution is paying for this garbage. The noteable exception is one for foreign students that helps them understand American culture.

Of course, I will say enough is enough when we start having seperate graduations as this has been discussed by various students on campus since I arrived here.

Mom2Jack:
You don’t know the half of it. In our department, they opened up a whole little sub department with the sole purpose of recruiting only blacks. They go only to minority functions and black work fairs, predominantly black schools etc. They take black firefighters off the line to go and give presentations. etc. They started a program to get firefighters in as paramedics since they could not get the black community interested in it and were not hiring any other race. After all that, they were still farced to eventually hire others, as they still could not get blacks to hire on. It still boiled down to interest in the job, the ability to pass the tests, and the ability to do the job.

Yet no one at any time made a single noise in the paper or anywhere else about the blatant racism of the program which is still going on to this day, and even has it’s own office downtown run by a captain and a chief.

And so that makes it right? that makes it ok to have things done that way?

Sorry buddy, but maybe you do need to pay a little more attention in those classes. Discrimination and such is not ok in any way shope or form against ANYONE. That INCLUDES against the big evil white male.

It is not time to play catch up for all the years that whitey was bad. It is time that it stops, period.

If you want it, then fine, speak for yourself, don’t speak for anyone else. And trust me, you have a hard enough time speaking for yourself.

I had fun with our two day diversity class in the AF.
The intellectuals brought up hundreds of diverse qualities that should be looked at besides the salient and narrow one that the moderators attempted to cast aside, skin color. Handedness (lefties are about 40% of the population) eye color, height, weight, IQ, left/right brained, artists, athletes, mesomorphs, etc.
It gave a whole new world to look at!

Here on the reservation, where white males are almost extinct, folks here have to blame their problems on themselves and non on the whiteman. I’ve always wondered if Mexico, Japan, Sweden, and other nations have such sensitivity training? If this is such a great thing why have not other nations adopted it?

This diversity crap is so stupid. That guy in the video did nothing illegal. We do have free speech. He didn’t threaten anyone. We are not free from being offended. . . if we were, homosexuality would be banned because it offends many religious people (I guess that could be considered bigoted, but that just shows the absurdity of the entire exercise).

Telling off color jokes should be OK in America. If you are not threatening anyone, you should be OK legally. I’ve been called ‘cracker’ more than once – don’t care. I’m also quite sure that ‘gringo’ doesn’t hurt my feelings either.

This is just a cottage industry that the government is pouring billions of dollars into. It is a waste of time.
