Diversity - Was it Worth It
« on: February 18, 2018, 12:43:37 PM »
On Sunday's, typically after breakfast at our favorite breakfast haunt, MrsMac and I swing by the local grocery store. This grocery store's size is about 10% of your normal big city grocery store and the folks who work and shop there are our neighbors. Just going in to buy a quart of milk often takes a half an hour.

Anyway on Sundays I hide off in the corner of the store to avoid the numerous chats my wife has with folks as she strolls through the store and read the Sunday paper. When that proves boring I read articles on my phone. Well this morning I ran across "Fred on Everything's" new article titled, An Impolitic Slumgullion.

In essence diversity is what is tearing apart our country and the result is a more widening gulf between all folks. He points his finger to the fact the USofA was made up of thousands of relatively isolated communities. These communities decided on what the morals and rules of the community would be. This worked out well as long as New York City values stayed in NYC, Boise values stayed in Idaho, LA Values stayed in California, et cetera - You get the premise.

Well things changed around the late 70's early 80's as more and more folks moved away from their bastions of normalcy into completely new communities with differing ideals and values. Can you imagine the alienation a couple from NYC must have felt who due to lack of work locally was forced to move to Boise? My heavens, high school kids in Boise had gun racks and during hunting season actually held GUNS! Of course they went to school with guns so they could get out into the field quickly after the last class of the day at school. However, hunting as well as guns is totally alien to NYC dwellers.

Or a couple from LA being forced to move to a small town in the rural south for a job and was faced with a plaque showing the Ten Commandments every time they entered their county court house. Oh my Lord - What about the separation of Church & State as they learned it from the school they attended.

This migration of folks with different values, morals, and education background started this whole diversity mantra and a need for all Americans to become inclusive.

Then bring to this migration the internet. People who were raised and continue to live in their community and did not migrate. They discovered that there were actual people outside their community that had totally different values and morals then they had. So they tried to interject their values and morals on others because in part the other communities made them feel uneasy and it forced a certain amount of soul searching on their parts which they did not want to do.

Anyway, I think Fred has hit the nail squarely on the head of why as Americans, we are constantly bickering today. The chasm is definitely growing between NYC, Boise, LA, Spokane, liberal, conservative, minded folks. History has shown us that this kind of fracture of a culture does not end well.

 When I moved to south Jersey in the mid 60's my mother came to visit from New York city. I had to pick her up at the bus stop and on the way home we saw a kid, maybe 16 walking towards the woods carrying a shot gun. My mother got all shook up saying he's got a gun. I calmly told her that he was going hunting and her reply was but he's got a gun.
 You see in New York city they believe the only people who have guns are the police and criminals with no in-between.
 I believe diversity and multiculturalism is racism at its finest.

You are absolutely right about the culture shock people get when they move to another area. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Some folks want the Romans to change. I hate to pick on Yankees all the time, but good grief, they ruin their States and then when they come to the South, they want us to change and do what they did up North. Say what????? They ruined their state and now they want us to ruin our state. Oh, if over regulation, uber gun control, unbelievable taxes, and totally corrupt government officials is a good thing, why would they move here? The notion that we have a problem and they don't, really pisses us off. They shouldn't be too concerned about how we do things. Our government officials are slowly moving in the same direction as all the other states that are doing it all wrong. Just wait a while. We will eventually screw everything up like the rest of the country.

pkveazey you are so right. I may have been born in a yankee state but I'm a southerner at heart. Sussex county Delaware has always been consider the south which is one reasons we moved here 15 years ago from New Jersey. But the last 7 years the yanks from Philadelphia New Jersey and New York have been moving down here. Before when you went to a doctors office they has Fox News on but the yanks complained so now they have home repair channel on.

Its suicide by a thousand cuts folks.

This new push by the MSM and Politicians for more & new gun control, might be the catalyst that a shooting war is not to far upon the horizon.
