#diversity is our strength

You feel that? The world is watching. We get to show them who we are. So, who are we gonna be?

Joe Lonsdale: So I enjoy the part of the book where you highlight some platitudes about race, that permeate our society, and one of them is like, "diversity is our strength." Like, why is that a dumb thing to say, and how should we be talking about it instead?

Coleman Hughes: Yeah, I think this is something a lot of people say, a lot of people want to believe, though I'm not sure if they deeply believe it in every sense.

So, for example, I've never heard anyone say that Earth, Wind & Fire was great, but they really needed a white guy to round out their sound, or that, like The Beatles were an excellent band, they would have been perfect if they had a Mexican guy.

And so I don't think that at the end of the day, I don't think diversity always makes everything stronger necessarily, and I don't think other people believe that either.

My view is that diversity inherently is neutral in most cases, it's neither good nor bad. I know certainly, you know, for my podcast, if I'm looking to hire someone to do a task, I don't care what they look like. I want to see how good at the task they are and how much they charge.

And so I would make an exception, however, for certain professions where racial diversity might contribute to your ability to do the job. So for example, if the NYPD for some reason were 99% white--

Lonsdale: Yeah, they would need more diversity to do the job.

Hughes: I mean, I think it would actually hurt their ability to effectively police black and Hispanic neighborhoods because they just wouldn't be trusted.

Lonsdale: They'd be seen more as outsiders.

Hughes: That's right, yeah. So that's an exception I think that proves the rule. Most jobs are not like that.

anti-agere (but tw for ageres this blog may be mature or cuss), anti-alterhuman, queerphobic (that means transphobic, aphobic, homophobic, lesbophobic, biphobic, terfs, if you hate on neopronouns and xenogenders, or any other hate towards 2LGBTQIAP+ people), sexist, racist, ableist, or if you hate on people because of their religion or their identity at all, Pedo, zoo, age play kink, rape kink, incest, endo, proship. Also if you’d ever blame a victim of rape for what happened to them, that applies. I don’t even need to explain here, unless you don’t know what ED means. No eating disorder-positive people here. I’m not shaming eating disorders, but don’t encourage them, they’re not healthy, and you all are beautiful. If you’re on the side of Russia or Israel and think Gaza/Palestine and/or Ukraine deserve whats happened and is happening to them fuck off right now. this is a bullshit free zone where hate isn’t tolerated

There's a reason inbreeding is bad. Nature demands diversity.

Diversity is strength.

the choice of music is impeccable, nevertheless, I have a hard time deciding which is my fave part of this circus, it has to be either the cop tackling the wrong guy and immedietally getting stabbed in the neck bythe nu-german, or the policewomen doing their best not to help outside of shrill screeching (not audible in this version, but it is a treat)

A DANGEROUS FAILURE

Second in a series looking at ‘The State of the West’. Failure Those of us who can remember past conflicts involving Israel such as the Six-Day War (1967) and the Yom Kippur War (1973) can recall news clips from far away followed by conversations with family and friends admiring Israel’s determination not to be destroyed. What we don’t recall are mass demonstrations throughout the West with…

The hypocrisy that can’t be justified.. our military is the best of the best. The idiocy of Tubervile, Our military are our unsung heroes, savior and protector of our democracy. If you have never served, you don’t truly understand the military. You are only hindering and handicapping our military with your hypocrisy. “The Military is an Equal Opportunity” for everyone.

Privilege is never having to worry about something like this happening to you.

The hatred and chaos is already beginning.

On a personal note, I had someone on Instagram tell me to “go back to Africa!” today. It’s a couple weeks shy of 2025. And, that’s what he decided to say to me. A total stranger. A fellow American. Someone who’s never done a thing wrong to him. Someone who is just as American as he is.

It’s not original.

It’s not even logical.

It’s just ignorant and racist.

Is this suppose to make America great? 🤔

i do think its funny when people are like "you could not waterboard this out of me" "i would never admit this" etc etc about someone mentioning a fetish they have or weird sex they do on the internet. im telling it to some strangers in the computer who don't know who i am not my boss lol
