Finding Differences
It seems that since the administration of President Obama and his promotion of such fallacies as “hands up don’t shoot,” and the seeming encouragement of racial discontent, the political differences between the races have widened.
We are seeing “diversity” in many areas. Yet my granddaughter has noticed in her high school that when the similarities of people are promoted, there is a greater feeling of community. When differences are promoted, as is done in most diversity training, there is a greater separation between the students, and different cultures tend to band together more. Her current group of friends looks like the United Nations and includes some students with physical disabilities. They are all appalled when differences are promoted rather than similarities.
Should Americans continue with the maintenance of groups that promote differences? If the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) is a good thing, why would we disparage an NAAWP (National Association for the Advancement of White People)? Why is there not a Congressional White Caucus? Whites as a group are barely a majority anymore. When people of different cultures and races work together in various jobs and workplaces, the things that bring them together are their similarities, not their differences.
