Trump and the Convention of Black Journalists

I'm thinking that it might have been a strategic error for the Republicans to allow their presidential nominee to speak at the Convention of Black Journalists. While it's true that most of Trump's supporters are not going to be swayed from supporting him--regardless of what he says or does, some more moderate voters could take notice. Perhaps next time, the former president should be steered toward a less diverse demographic for his future speaking engagements. I must admit, however, that I am looking forward to any future presidential debates.

Cooking Up Some Diversity with Kevin

Diversity by Force

I find it discouraging that Americans are being force-fed diversity. When everything is mandated by government and employers, it isn't real. When the media only shows half the story it distorts the truth. It creates a backlash (like how Trump became President). No one likes to be called-out as the bad guy. No one likes to be forgotten as having "no culture." No one wants to be forced to accept someone of another race who they would not accept (for other reasons) if they were both the same race. If you don't like this, you are probably a fake liberal. What is real , is that some of us have friends who are not the same race as us. Some of us have family who are different races than we are. We love these people for real reasons. Sometimes we argue with them and sometimes they are wrong and sometimes they are right. But they are not always right; even if they are a different race than we are. Because that is real life.

When Diversity Fails

When your coworker spends his/her days goofing off or watching Internet videos, and when the boss tells him/her to stop and do some work-and he/she says "let's go talk to HR," and then all correction attempts stop, you can be sure that diversity protection has failed its true purpose.  I saw it 20 years ago, and it is still happening now. When accountability is undermined, the organization begins to erode. It's not the way it was intended to be used, but unchecked liberal thinking has destroyed the true benefits of it. Everyone needs to be accountable, not just some people. If everyone deserves equal benefits, then everyone must share equal accountability.

One of the parties seems to be a little more diverse than the other.
