We can keep going around in circles...but it certainly was NOT a request for a dialogue, as you stated.

IMO most all racism truly starts in the home and is taught by family members. Yes some people will acquire a certain belief do to their "life events" but most kids develop their beliefs on race from their parents...Now many adults can claim that they have eliminated the racial views they had as children now that they have grown up but my experience tells me that when these people get real upset about something the stereo types come back to the forefront of their actions...

SO

As I've told my kids when they ask about racism, in the big picture of things, it is something that we can only hope gets a bit better with every generation. It's only been about 150 years or so since slavery was officially ended in this country so that's the life span of what, 2 - 3 people. That means it is still possible that ones Great Grand Parents would have been alive during that time....it IS up to the Children to understand that racism is wrong no matter what other people they know believe and racism is wrong for everyone. You dumb ass lazy honkeys better keep that in mind! :nod:

Regardless of your attempt to deflect, she has an agenda she wants kids to follow. She is using her position to impose her agenda. It is not a dialogue, as you stated. It is her agenda.

One can agree with her agenda or not, implement it or not, but don't try to disguise what it is.

The KKK has an agenda. Hitler had an agenda. Nancy Reagan had an agenda. And they all used the power of their position, or their husband's/member's position(s), to implement their agendas to different degrees.

But by your definition, they were all simply attempting a, "dialogue." :rofl:

Impose...to force.
There is more than one definition.

Impose...take advantage of someone by demanding their attention or commitment.

Sure, but there's a difference between "imposing" something, and having a dialogue. The mere suggestion of it is terrifying I tell ya!
No, Kalm, it isn't terrifying.

It is annoying and insulting.

Taken to its extreme (being forced to do something), anything is bad.

kalm, you should be forced to hire a gay person, whether you want to or not. You should also be forced to hire a handicapped person. In fact, you should be forced to hire a group of employees that includes every single type of underrepresented people that exists. Homeless and mentally challenged? Too bad...make accommodations. If not, you are simply a selfish clown not attuned to people's needs...and you certainly aren't a person who belongs in an all loving, all inclusive society. :ohno:

Yup, what's wrong with diversity, klean. :lol:

You sure have a narrow minded definition of diversity. Why are you trying to narrow the conversation...that is usually a conservative approach because they fear change.

Why do you hate mentally challenged people? Why can't you make accommodations for people?

And why don't you ask yourself, every single day, "How can I make my workforce more diverse?" That should be your priority...after all it is important enough for FLOATINGASS to make it her focus on the most important day of some young people's lives. You should respect that.

If not, shame on you.

You should probably be asking yourself how you can make your circle of friends more diverse. Get on it...FLOTUSDOWNTHERIVER says you should.

I don't understand why that type of diversity dialogue is horrific enough for you to try to limit your effort. :ohno:

Hey, I have an inner dialogue every day about making my workforce more diverse. It's not my fault that the best applicants all happened to be able bodied geniuses of Northern European descent. :tothehand:

Diversity means a dearth of white, ostensibly straight males. A group of diverse people do not have to actually think differently or have diverse experiences, they just need to not look too white.

For example:
70% of NFL players are black = diversity
no white protestants on the Supreme Court = diversity
Jewish overrepresentation as fed chairs = diversity
white overrepresentation in congress = outrage

And no I'm not trying to make WASP males out to be some oppressed group. I don't think the NFL needs to try and recruit more white players, nor should we go out of our way for a non-jewish fed chairman or white protestant SCOTUS judges. Just tired of all the hypocrisy of the church of diversensitolerance.

No, no.

FLOTUSTURDUS wants to make sure we change the ending, and the title of an old movie, "How Can We Get Our Jumpers More Diverse?" A CGI Woody Harrelson ends up dunking over Shaq in Madison Square Garden.

Speaking of which, the LA Clippers will now be owned by Spike Lee, but the players will have to reflect the racial make up of 'Merica. :nod: :thumb:
