What the multiculturalists seem to want is the sublimation of the common “American Culture” — the output of the “Melting Pot” in favor of the individual cultures that our immigrants bring with them.

To them, all cultures are equal, that no culture is better than any other and that the “American culture” is absolutely evil and to be resisted, if not destroyed.

Everything they do, to bilingual education, “English as a second language”, multilingual official signs and ballots, are EMPHASIS ON WHAT THEY LEFT instead of what they find here, and is designed to eliminate the common bond that makes Americans American.

And this is a deliberate thing that they do. It is part of an agenda.

We do not do enough to counter the ‘multiculturists’ as they work to bring societal anarchy (and that is EXACTLY what they want to impose). Michelle was right Monday night on O’Reilly when she referred to the leftist anarchy on the stage at Columbia to be the end result of multiculturalism in our schools and colleges.

Why?

Because there is recipe for overcoming a capitalist country and economy and instituting Socialist/Communist/Marxist rule.

The game plan was formalized by an Italian Communist Antonio Gramsci whose works were translated into English in the late 50′s.

To take down capitalism and democracy, you need to peel the layers that act as societal glue holding it together.

Religion, the schools, the “cultural values” are all part of the societal glue.

Gramsci postulated that if you destroy the cultural glue that religion is, AND if you destroy the cultural glue of a COMMON AMERICAN culture, you lay the groundwork for a quiet SOCIALIST REVOLUTION with the new common culture being “Marxism” or a derivative.

If this book exposes the fraud that multiculturalism is and the dangers that it imposes, then good for the Professor. And I hope he watches his back and has someone else start his car up every morning.

Harvard students respond: “We can learn from Columbia University!”

I bet I know one of his “policy recs” as a result of this will be we should all be getting busy with these other ethnicities/cultures and make one huge biological as well as cultural melting pot….

Sounds a lot like a soliloquy from the movie Bulworth. Something about if everyone keeps —-ing each other eventually we’ll all look the same.

I expect a similar reaction to this as Charles Murray received for ‘The Bell Curve’.

Do you mean you think it will be read and quietly appreciated by thousands of intelligent people, whose understanding and politics it will continue to inform, thereafter?

Seriously, there are so many social variables at play here. In general, I think we have lost that sense of social interaction and interdependence because we no longer need it to survive.

With the advent of the nanny state and associated institutions in the 20th Century, neighbors no longer needed to rely on neighbors for basic support, mutual defense, child care, etc.

We no longer have the need to cling to each other as a safety net to solve problems because we expect the government to remedy those problems for us now.

Look back at the timeline. There have always been various ethnic groups intermingled here. I’m not discounting the diversity factor completely. But, the notion that we are socially isolating ourselves is relatively recent. Why help the guy next door when I can just watch cable and let the government help him for me? I wouldn’t expect him to help me for the same reason. We don’t need what a basic social fabric offers because the government now fills that need.

Just a theory… fueled by two Heinekens.

diversity has created the ‘tokens’ within the workforce – did they get the job because of their qualtifications or skin color?

DATE: October 10, 2006
TO: Harvard President
FROM: Jane Winterstime, for the Diversity Task Force
RE: Diversity Plan for Harvard

The Diversity Task Force is pleased to present this Diversity Plan for the Harvard University community. The Plan is the result of the efforts of the members of this Task Force and many others who have contributed through the process we established to collect feedback and comments. We are grateful to all who participated.

In the Diversity Plan we propose main areas and specific actions for the campus to work on, with the opportunity for every unit to contribute.

Even though some of the feedback received by the Task Force was less than reassuring and showed continued resistance to implementing changes, we were reaffirmed by many that we are taking the right approach.

The Task Force also heard many of the good things that many individuals and groups are already doing on our campus and we hope this Diversity Plan will encourage them to continue and others to join in implementing it.

Specifically, the Task Force received clear support for the following:

- Adopting an expanded definition of diversity
- Establishing a Diversity Commission
- Conducting a Campus Climate Survey
- Continuing diverse representation in campus groups and committees
- Creating a Diversity Orientation Program for all faculty, including tenured, and staff
- Funding diversity initiatives appropriately, with special emphasis on 10 actions proposed for strategic priority funding

In light of the comments and feedback received, the Diversity Task Force established priorities for immediate action and for implementation in the spring of 2007 and beyond.

In locales where a number of races are represented, do the races really intermingle, or do they just isolate themselves into a greater number of segregated racial groups?

I suppose its the latter.

That said, I live in Queens and have enjoyed it pretty much. Lots of people have their own groups around here (for example, the large number of Orthodox Jews near where I live don’t mix at all), but no big deal. There’s enough of a group for anybody around here. Interestingly, I’ve got all this stuff going on in my own church down the street; we’ve got Indians, Philipinos, Africans, Hispanics, Eastern Europeans, old school Queens types… yeah, it can be interesting being Catholic.
