Billy Bearden's comment is right on point. Christian culture and Confederate heritage are indeed excluded from "multicultural" recognition. The leftist cultural elites perceived that white Christian culture is too lofty, and the point of multiculturalism is to "elevate" other cultures to the same level. If white Christian culture is acknowledged, its loftiness will be exhibited, perhaps even reinforced, which is the very opposite of what the elites want. So, it's excluded by the includers....<br /><br />Despite the obvious subject matter -- multi-CULTURES (or cultural groups), Al Mackey jumps on the individual discrimination interpretation -- which Billy did not even mention. Billy was talking about those who champion cultural groups refusing to see Confederate heritage advocates as an identifiable group. Many of said advocates are descendants of Confederate soldiers and are thus an group at least as identifiable and as viable as LBGTs. But they are not afforded recognition as such.<br /><br />That is obvious point in Billy's statements, but Al would rather assassinate his own brain and ignore that in order to accuse Billy of complaining about something he didn't even mention, and present Brooks with an intro for bringing up "white supremacy," which is completely irrelevant to the subject matter, but dear to flogger hearts.<br /><br />And Simpson is equally eager to assassinate his intellect by portraying Billy as pouting because he's not getting his own way when, in fact, what Billy was doing was showing the gross hypocrisy of those claiming to be multiculturalists. Exactly how leftist hypocrisy is a "threatening difference" Simpson doesn't say.<br /><br />Then, LibertyLamprey takes the cake for shriveling one's own intelligence by asking, "In her response to this article, why is Connie talking about ducks?" <br /><br />Well, I explained it. Do we really think Lamprey's reading comprehension skills are so deficient that he couldn't follow the explanation? He ends with, "Again…I’m hearing the theme music for Twilight Zone…"<br /><br />Accompaniment maybe for the voices in his head....Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08696918266055510131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211529354680229185.post-34423584210930415012014-01-07T18:31:55.457-08:002014-01-07T18:31:55.457-08:00Speaking of Jimmy Dick, BR., he wants a foreign po...Speaking of Jimmy Dick, BR., he wants a foreign policy built on "mutual respect." Doesn't that just double you OVER? We're supposed to be all about "diversity," right? Does that include accommodating countries and cultures that stone women for adultery -- because they were RAPED? The progressive left in the west is supposed to be such champions for women's rights and equality, but they are deafeningly mute about the civil rights abuses in Islamic countries. The terrorist groups who behead people, video it with their phones, broadcast it on the world wide web, and suffer no justice whatever -- we are really supposed to RESPECT that?<br /><br />Terrified of change? Terrified of THAT kind of barbarism, sure enough, and if that is being terrified of "change" -- so be it.<br /> Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08696918266055510131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211529354680229185.post-42086122443218293432014-01-07T18:12:03.848-08:002014-01-07T18:12:03.848-08:00BR, they don't really care about their own sho...BR, they don't really care about their own shortcomings. They're all about fault-finding.<br /><br />But it would be interesting to hear them explain why, if all cultures are equal, how any of them could be shoved out of the way. Weren't they able enough to withstand, or shove back? If not, why not -- I mean, if they're equally strong, smart, knowledgeable, innovative, etc., etc., etc.... <br /><br />I suspect we'll hear a cricket chorus from now until doomsday waiting for an explanation....Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08696918266055510131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211529354680229185.post-51034709449120047172014-01-07T17:14:53.000-08:002014-01-07T17:14:53.000-08:00...from the comments section of the referenced pos......from the comments section of the referenced post at Simpson's Flog-<br /><br />Jimmy Dick:<br /><i>"Going through American history we can see how whites shoved all other races and cultures out of their way in establishing a white dominated culture AND one that placed some whites over others within that culture. <br /><br />Recent American history has been about the struggle to rebalance and change that culture to one where equality, the main principle of the American Revolution, exists for everyone of all races, creeds, religions, and classes."</i><br /><br /><b>Maybe Jimmy could give some diversity training in his hometown.</b><br /><br />http://sundown.afro.illinois.edu/sundowntownsshow.php?id=728BorderRuffianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07880353575450977712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211529354680229185.post-11528667136672395952014-01-07T12:38:45.690-08:002014-01-07T12:38:45.690-08:00Simpson's reply to Billy Bearden's observa...Simpson's reply to Billy Bearden's observations in the "Diversity" comment thread illustrate his (Simpson's) propensity for fudging the truth. It's either that, or he's incapable of recognizing the truth, and I don't think he is.<br /><br />Billy posted: <br /><br />=======<br /> Well, I’ll start by stating that those who proclaim they are for “diversity” always seem to speak out against the inclusion of those who honor Confederate soldiers. They make a special effort to bring the Hispanics, the multi-ethnics, the LBGT, most anything and anybody not a straight white Christian and claim “look at the diversity” while excluding a sizable segment of the population.<br /><br /> In my experiences, ‘diversity’ is Animal Farm code for announcing “We are more equal than you”. If you are having to pull certain individuals out of society while excluding another part, to hold them up as the example of ‘diversity’ – you have lost your own argument. Diversity is what is when you open your front door and step outside into the world – and it includes ALL God’s children – not just the specially selected Hispanics, multi-ethnics, and LBGT.<br /><br /> From what Star Chamber did the people who do the selection of ‘diversity’ come from?<br />=======<br /><br />Simpson replies: <br /><br />=======<br /> Yes, Billy, now you are whining that you are a persecuted minority. When will your self-pity party end?<br /><br /> Another angry white person. <br />=======<br /><br />Whining? Persecuted minority? Nothing in Billy's comments indicated either one. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero.<br /><br />What Billy did was point out the hypocritical nature of leftist diversity-pushers who exclude some people -- i.e., those who do not embrace a leftist progressive worldview and agenda.<br /><br />Frankly, I suspect Billy doesn't give a plug nickel about being part of the cultural left's "diversity" population. I sure don't. But, since their agenda is so destructive of our society, it behooves us traditionalists and conservatives to point out their foibles.<br /><br />What Billy said is true. That means there is no successful arguing against it, so Simpson avoids it with a lie.<br /><br />You want to see an angry person?
