MHO - we all need to embrace the differences of others instead of condemning them for it. easier to say, than do.......sadly.

No one really believes that nor should they.  There's an old story told; true or not who knows, but during the British time in India, a group of soldiers came across a burial ceremony for a rich, powerful local leader. A large funeral pyre  had been build and the body laid in place. The story goes the soldiers heard screaming and saw a group of men dragging a woman to the top of the pyre. When the Captain intervened, the locals were indignant.  "It is our custom to burn the widow of a man of this position and power" they claimed, to which the Captain replied, "It is our custom to shoot those who burn widows."  The point of the story is all cultures are not equal and it is okay to condemn differences that are not just outside our norm but outside the norm of civilized society. The fact is some societies, some cultures are simply 'better' than others. Our US society as a whole is better than most others. You sit very comfortably, living in the most prosperous nation in history and toss around the phrase "old white men" like a spoiled teenager mad at his daddy for not buying him the latest iPhone.  A little perspective might be in order.  The idea and oft repeated phrase 'diversity is our strength' or some variation of those words is nonsense. Diversity is a strength only when traits that are beneficial to the whole are absorbed.  Having just left Minneapolis with it's huge Somalian population, I can tell you the people of that city would just as soon get rid of an awful lot of those diverse traits. It's easy for elitist politicians and their partisan devotees to repeat this diversity pledge when they themselves will never face the day to day consequences that happen when you purposely weaken the culture that built this country.  It's mind boggling that the idea of accepting only those who are beneficial to this society is considered bigoted or racist. It's the exact same we all did when raising our children. Did we not all control who they interacted to one degree or another? Yes, of course we did. It a parent's duty to protect their children from harm. You would not bring someone into your house whose 'diverse viewpoint' was to watch porn with an 8 year old would you? Hell no. Are you bigoted for doing that? Hell no.   Stop this nonsense.  Our lifeboat is full. We have work to do on our own house. It will do the world no good if we burn down one of the few houses that have the capability to reach over the fence and help put out the fire burning in their house. Yes, we are our Brother's Keeper, but we can't do if we get dragged down into the gutter.  

“… Having just left Minneapolis with it’s huge Somalian population, I can tell you the people of that city would just as soon get rid of an awful lot of those diverse traits. …”

For the Liberal, Progressive, B.S. Supporting, Snowflakes.

Two  Somalians came to a Auction.
I was in charge of the, ‘fenced in area’,
  (Was for many years before, and after this event)

This area is just like the, fenced in area, in a  building mart.
Where to go in, you must have a PAID  recite,
and when you come out, your, PAID, recite must match the things on your truck.

That Rule, was on the Auction Notice, posted several places on grounds, posted in huge sign where you got a number, announced at start of auction, and about every 30/45 min.

And when their was a ‘key’ to something. After it was sold, I got the key, and gave it to the buyer.
AFTER, they paid for it, and transferred title if it was  necessary.

Just after a school buss was sold, two, Somalians came up to me and one said:
‘You give Key, we bought Buss”
I explained again, slowly, what the procedure was.
Then the other one said, again, and  Louder,  “NO, You Give Key, WE  Bought Buss”
I explained again, (Normal voice).
No, you must do, ‘this and that’,  like everyone else.
The 3rd Time,  (Very Loud  Voice)
“No, You Not Understand, You Give Key, We Bought Buss"
Then, I, stepped Closer to them, and in a  LOUD  Voice, said:
 “No, You don’t understand, You are NOT Special, you will do, what everyone else does, so DO it”

They walked away, and the 20-30 people around that heard that.  CLAPPED !

They came back 15 min later, all paper in order, I gave them the Key.
(They never said a word)

After everything was done, and the workers, were sitting around having a hot dog and coffee, one of the clerks said to me:
“Ya know, got a complaint about you today, a couples of Somalians, said you were rude, abusive, and clearly predigest.”

(Again, ESPECIALLY, for the ‘Fairy Dust Sprinklers’)

Did NOT, matter their color of skin, their Country of origin, their religion.
What mattered was, Their,  “ATTITUDE”.
They felt, for what ever reason, THEY, did NOT, have to PAY, for something, before they took it.
They felt, ’They were  Special’.

     Why ?
Did someone tell them that ?
Did they learn that people, ‘fold’, when confronted with someone different?
A Combination of  Both ?

So that is the problem.
Judging, someone on, Race, Color, Religion.
    Instead of HOW THEY  ACT.
And if you, do Not do, what a different person says,
YOU, are  CLEARLY, rude, abusive, and predigest.
  (And maybe even a, Nazi)

That is exactly were, ‘PC  Correct’,
and not wanting to get, ‘labeled’,
 Has gotten people in the US.

100+ years ago, their were  China Towns/Little Italy’s,
Natural,  people usually gather in like areas,
where they can follow ’their’, lifestyles/Customs..
Yet, NOT  ONE said:  
  ‘YOU MUST DO THIS OR THAT”.

And, ‘Protest’.
  All the right in this Country to do so.
And most  Everybody, (me included), totally support that right.
However, when, ‘your’, protest, takes away, 'MY’,  ‘RIGHTS’.
      (Huston, we got a problem)

Protesting is a  Right.  But it does NOT, include, removing, MY  Rights.
Just as, ‘Free Speech’ is a RIGHT, but does not include,
yelling, ‘FIRE’ in a crowded theater.
Or saying,  ‘HI’, to your friend, ‘Jack’ at 30,000 feet in the air.

If one is a Azz Hole, they are a  Azz Hole,
 REGARDLESS, of Race, Color, Religion, Sexual preference, etc.

And if someone, is a decent, reasonable person,
They are a, decent person, reasonable person,
REGARDLESS, of Race, Color, Religion, Sexual preference, etc.

Do, NOT  allow, someone to throw a,
 (Race, Color, Religion, Sexual preference),
   Card, and get away with it !
