All I Want For Christmas Is White Genocide,' Professor Says
What does diversity mean?
the state of being diverse; variety.
"there was considerable diversity in the style of the reports"
a range of different things.
plural noun: diversities
"newspapers were obliged to allow a diversity of views to be printed"
synonyms: variety, miscellany, assortment, mixture, mix, mélange, range, array,
the state of being diverse; variety
Now apparently, to this professonal George Ciccariello-Maher, associate professor of politics and global studies at Drexel. this educator this purveyor of the most advanced knowledge at Drexel University would add genocide.
The scharade of BLM , when someone's says "all lives matter" and they are shamed into apologizing. When a dissenter is dismissed as an old white guy regularly on the propaganda networks .Trump supporters are regularly called as a group all the ists and plorables that you can think of. Rational coexistence is under attack. The important focus for individuals is what they can do with their life not what they have no control over like genealogy.

A photo revealed him to be a young white male and his excuse for his genocide statement is "satire."
Me dino thinks this self-proclaimed satirist should hang a sign from himself that states "I AM WHITE," go find a tree on campus and also hang himself.
Maybe he should also hand another sign on the tree trunk to ask: "IS SATIRE FINE ART?"
Me dino can just see it. No student witnesses would think of cutting him down performing CPR even if they knew how.
They'd just stand in a ring to record with raised cell phones as the 911 alerted sirens finally approached.
Many parents object to this method of teaching about race relations. While some white people, especially those in the academy and the arts, find the acceptance of privilege and its associated guilt liberating, many do not. Privilege theory is also not being offered as one of many ways to confront and consider racism; it is being offered as the central way.
This was an article in Harvard Education Review, “McIntosh as Synecdoche: How Teacher Education Focus on White Privilege Undermines Anti Racism.”
I almost though the 80s and 90s had doused racial tensions into the fringes. Here comes the media selling inflammation, and an elected black president, Obama, pours gas on it. Then Trump wins and people assert he somehow supports bigotry.
We are back 40 years, just to sell papers and secure votes.
although Obama may have actually done that himself.
Politico: Al Sharpton Becomes Obama's Race Ambassador
Sharpton's past is proving hard to live down. It was 30 years ago that he led a rally against a Harlem clothing store that ended up burned down, and even more infamously, he lost a civil suit against him for defaming a white prosecutor he accused of raping black teenager Tawana Brawley, accusations later proven untrue.
Sharpton also fueled rage when he railed against a Hasidic Jewish driver who killed a young boy with his car, preaching at the boy's funeral about Jewish "diamond merchants" who get rich selling South African "blood diamonds" before killing children.
Work, culture, liberty,—all these we need, not singly but together, not successively but together, each growing and aiding each, and all striving toward that vaster ideal that swims before the Negro people, the ideal of human brotherhood, gained through the unifying ideal of Race; the ideal of fostering and developing the traits and talents of the Negro, not in opposition to or contempt for other races, but rather in large conformity to the greater ideals of the American Republic…
Modern progressives don’t talk about the “greater ideals of the American Republic.” Rather, those ideals have become suspect, empty words used to justify slavery and genocide. But for Du Bois, who was closer to slavery than any of us will ever be, this was not the case. The facile notion that some inherent evil of whiteness must be expunged is anathema to his entire vision of equality and reconciliation.
Put simply, our anti-racism efforts must be refocused away from guilt and confession and towards equality and eradicating irrational judgments based on race. Some on the Left will object, saying that racism is so systemic in society it must be purged before anyone can pretend to treat of others without taking race into account. Some on the Right will object, saying that everything from IQ tests to crime statistics prove something meaningful about the capabilities of individuals based on their race.
Both of these perspectives must be rejected. In their place, we must return to the goal of treating people as individuals, not as representatives of their race.

Capitalism is so insidious, it must first be purged...
So similar.
If you go to the CPUSA (Communist Party of the USA) website you can see how the American Left is now doing this.
To Obamat, Israel is the lone outpost of colonialism in Africa; it is one reason he will never take its side in any conflict. Some Arab countries have seen Israel as that as well---it is not because Israel is now the home of the Jews, it is because they are the remnants of the former exploiting European colonialists. I believe that attitude is subject to change, however. Obamat will never change.
I would just feel better not having muslims living around where I am, and I am sure they would feel better not being around me. I am in favor of striniging people I dont like up in a tree, and I will grant them the same human rights as anyone else, but I just prefer not to have to deal with that group. If they want to make it a war and attack me for my non-belief, then I will defend myself.
I do have a book I will research in again, maybe this evening: "The Mongol Warlords".
And it does state that as the Mongols absorbed the culture of those they conquered, they became less savage. But I will read more tonight, and get back with you tomorrow. I do find the Mongols an interesting period in history.
Genghis Khan did in fact convert to Islam, believing it to be a religion of strength. Mongols admired strength. I think it was then that his conquests of the West abated somewhat. But I am certainly willing to look into what reference works or source documents you have delved into.
Have you ever seen photos of the original home of the Mongols---Karakorum. Strange how none of the books you've read mentioned the slaves he took in tribute from the "Rus. Did any of them mention Alexander Nevsky?
I have also read both Christian and Islamic accounts of encounters with the Mongols from the 12th and 13th century. You would agree with me, as to their savagery.
I would say that I am impressed that he was the first leader I am aware of not to resort to religion as the means to control the people and take power. This can not be said of ANY muslim or christian government.
One of the books I read was : Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World". I read another as well, but it isn't on my bookshelf. I recommend the book I cite. The other was ok, but not nearly as well cited with references.
I seriously doubt Genghis was motivated to conquer by the wealth of other religions. He would've been completely ignorant of them until he united the Mongul peoples. He may have been swayed by this later, but it was not his initial spark.
You are wrong. The Mongols had a raider mentality; With China on their southern border they were well aware of the wealth of other nations. For instance, GK learned military organization from the Chinese so he knew they were there. Unlike Native American tribes, who could not unite even to keep Europians at bay, the factious Mongol tribes were combined under GK, and he set out towards the West where the wealth was. As primitives do, he connected the advanced culture with the religions he found, thus you perceive tolerance, where there was brutality. If there was a softening of the Mongol culture, it was due to influence of those he conquered. It wasn't necessarily land GK wanted; it was other "stuff". I'll continue at a later date.
Interesting you knew nothing of the slave tribute he exacted.
And when I say GK was not interested in land, as such, I meant he was interested in control. Control of the wealth, control of the trade routes, as well.
The Liberal revisionists might even refer to the brutal Mongolian invasion as a "Pax Mongolia", wouldn't you say?
Barbarian just means "not Greek", or later "not Roman", while true, it is an irrelevant distinction, applying to us as well. The later adjective, meaning "uncivilized" does not apply. Genghis lived in accordance with a civilization and culture, and expanded it enormously. If you mean he was brutal, sure he was. So was just about everyone back then.
I am not familiar with tribute of slaves. Much later than Genghis, the Khan of Russia became a muslim and then allowed a christian church to be created. When you say he wasn't "able to conquer the Rus", do you mean completely? The Monguls did conquer western parts of Russia, and held it for ~300 years.
The Monguls were brutal, but they, particularly Genghis, initiated several governing principles that were new and positive. His accomplishments are quite astonishing for the chief of a little tribe.
pological. So at times it appeared as if we were at cross-purposes.
And now, and now, Ovomit has gone and thrown the Russians out of America! Did you hear that yet?
Like you, I found much to disagree with in "religion". But that doesn't mean it is all wrong.
I debated once, in my younger days, with a Jesuit priest (it was at a Newman Club meeting in college). My argument was that you could not believe in both free-will and pre-destination. We went at it for about half an hour, until finally he said, it's something you have to accept on faith. Well, it didn't satisfy me. Today, though, I've come to believe it is pre-will and free destination. Ask me about that sometime.
I thought you probably weren't all that religious.
Because man has a sense of the about-to-be, which distinguishes him from all other animals, he not only must choose between "me and thou" but also between the "present and the future".So man is not born in original sin, but because he must make these choices, and can never be 100% certain of the future, he is of necessity imperfect. Only God can know all the consequences of any one action, and all the consequences of all actions. So only God can be perfect. I'll get off my soap box now.
But if you think of "pre-will" instead of free will, you will see that man's choices are based somewhat on each man's unique nature. And that it is by living our lives independently that man can learn by the mistakes he makes. You have the right to make your own mistakes.
She was never an economist, however. She even admitted that.
One contradiction Putin saw---and he has made this public---was the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk the Bolsheviks made with Germany, among other countries, toward the end of World War I. Putin said he saw it as a capitulation, when one wasn't needed/
one major flaw: it was totally divorced from human nature.
Putin and the others who helped bring down the Soviet Union were well aware of its contradictions and inconsistencies. Truly amazing, after the indoctrination to which Communism exposes their youth.
By the way, there is more to Islam than what you read in the Quran.
Still, it is amazing to me how any Western, Christian or no, can read the Quran and state unequivocally he understands Islam.
For one, the "infidel" referred to in the Quran, are those Arabs who still adhered to the ancient pagan "religion" of that region. Followers of Judaism and Christianity are referred to as "Children of the Book.", and they were more tolerated than Jews in Europe during the Middle Ages.
And if you know anything about that primal Arabic "religion" you will know that it harbored the darkest demons of any "religion" in mankind's history. Those Arabs needed a strong God to combat those strong, dark demons. In fact, Mohammed once told his followers: "You do not need to be afraid of the jinn, for you have me."
Another part I've heard Christians find fault with, is that the Quran has said God created man from a blood clot. But if primitive man watched the birth of a child, surely he might think it was a blood clot.
And this is so well known, I wonder if I even need to repeat it: the "religion" that Islam replaced was replete with inappropriate, violent and magical attempts at controlling events. Mohammed actually improved the lot of the people.
It is said that the first thing the angel Gabriel said to Mohammed was "Read, Mohammed, read!" And Islam was thus a religion that leant itself to reason.
There were many conquests of the original Arab Muslims, throughout history---the Turks, the Mongols, etc.--and each incoming culture influenced the original Islamic religion to some extent.
There is so much more I can tell you about the history of Islam, but perhaps it can wait. Perhaps you can find the right questions to ask, instead of asserting that you know all about Islam because you read the Quran, and it is just full of violence.
You sound like Sean Hannity.
Hannity is afraid that Shari'a law will become the norm in America; that it is why he is so against Islam. That is a very foolish fear.
Your second, I agree. I would like to see more (legitimate) Muslims voicing objections and offering aid. But you know, that is changing. Assad is beginning to stabilize Syria, Turkey is entering the fight, Iran is against the terrorists. The Sauds threw Bin Laden out of the country, back in the '70's or '80's. Jordan is moderate, Muslims were dancing with Jews in Bahrain, celebrating Hanukkah with them. You need to view other websites; for instance, try the English RT news feed.
But thanks, DOB. I was pretty sure I'd get my clock cleaned for going "against the grain."
I agree wholeheartedly.
Liberals truly are mentally ill.
Here's what kills me. This morning I woke up and my little baby girl had climbed into our bed. When I left for work I looked at her laying there - so pure, sweet and innocent. That is who I think of when I hear such hateful speech...the real innocent - the little ones. These lefties really, really are sick.
The left would blame her for being pure sweet and innocent to hide or mask the unidentified white privilege of some producer.
I know this topic is of interest to you, Venezuala. Here is a description of this professor's latest book. In Building the Commune
Latin America’s experiments in direct democracy.
Since 2011, a wave of popular uprisings has swept the globe, taking shape in the Occupy movement, the Arab Spring, 15M in Spain, and the anti-austerity protests in Greece. The demands have been varied, but have expressed a consistent commitment to the ideals of radical democracy.
Similar experiments began appearing across Latin America twenty-five years ago, just as the left fell into decline in Europe. In Venezuela, poor barrio residents arose in a mass rebellion against neoliberalism, ushering in a government that institutionalized the communes already forming organically. In Building the Commune, George Ciccariello-Maher travels through these radical experiments, speaking to a broad range of community members, workers, students and government officials. Assessing the projects’ successes and failures, Building the Commune provides lessons and inspiration for the radical movements of today.
Here's a review. “George Ciccariello-Maher’s careful engagement with the revolutionary creativity of the communes traces a trajectory of hope for Venezuela – and also for the rest of us looking for the forms of our emancipation. Attuned to the ways left and right exploit the streets and social media, Building the Commune is essential to the Left’s renewed discussion of the tactics and strategies for building collective power.”

Frankly, this "professor's" words make me fighting-mad.
We are all individuals, no one chooses or controls their origins. We do choose to be mindful or not.
The haters in the world have no conscience.
Could you rephrase the acceptance of the quantum consequences part? My brain feels alittle thick at the moment.
My view is that in using one's mind, one has available to them a host of quantum entanglements. The newest understandings is that particles of energy possess information and somehow, that information or code can be transferred,.. like wave exchanges. So maybe, one's mindful identity is one's own unique IP address?
I am sure you have noticed the difference in individuals, some seem real and connected others seem to be in a box all by themselves and everything is allllll about "them".
we interact with and those same people know nothing about us except our ability to ask them about themselves. Thanks for expanding your point.
Very interesting .I assume and hope the surgery was a success. I will add your recommendation to my reading list.
The nature of new types of armaments and chemicals intensified the tragedy of the war, and I think this was completely unforeseen by the leaders. Also, the very character of the Kaiser (Wilhelm II) was a major factor in its onset.
I never considered the barbarian invasion/migration a Medieval European phenomenon.
To clarify, these invasions occurred prior to, and slightly following, the fall of the Roman Empire. Medieval European civilization came after that. It seems to me that maybe because you know I am a God-believer, and I'm not sure how you determined that, everything I say or post must have a religious basis. Either that, or you're more hung up about religion than I thought.
My comment was very simple. Feudalism was a gang mentality, electing to set religion as the moral high ground, and controlling against the common folk (those not religiously designated) by gang force. Power hungry. Please show us how this is "less primitive" than the Monguls.
Asserting the my argument is anti-religious is not an arguement. It is a submission.
I didn't say your argument was anti-religious. I said you attempt to give every historical event a religious context.
I don't care one way or the other whether you're religious or anti-religious. Just trying to tell you that mankind's development and history involved more than religion.
I guess what I am trying to say is, whether you think religion is a good thing or a bad thing, it has been a large part of man's intellectual and moral evolution, as well as his history.
One example from our discussions: when you say "tolerance" you are referring to religious tolerance alone. I see tolerance in a much broader sense, just as I view the pre-history and the history of mankind.
Have you ever heard the expression: "The long childhood of man and the long childhood of mankind are mutually recapitulative"? It is my thesis, one that I came up with after studying both child psychology and anthropology and history.
I said I don't have, and never have had, any intention of trying to convert any atheist to a belief in God. That is your choice. My study of history involved more than religion; apparently yours hasn't.

Why do you call yourself "term2"--you referring to Trump, or Ovomit?
I think you and I are speaking about two different things. I am speaking about GK and his influence. You seem to go back to the earlier monguls. I agree they had primitive government. However, GK did not. You really can not call the largest empire in history primitive.
I think GK saw value in these other cultures and incorporated the value. He never instituted religion as part of governance. However, both the muslims and christians populations governments were completely entrenched in their invisible friends at that time, and still are to a large extent now.
I didn't say he wasn't a raider. I said I doubt he associated wealth with religion.
Genghis Khan was a primitive with a raider mentality. That he was able to impose a "peace" of sorts was due to his ability to acquire knowledge and culture of other civilizations. End of story.
Ig a post so stupid as the one by the prrovessor is made with a straight face and with due consideration to the racist overtones of the piost, what , if anything is off limits for the liberal/progressive educators of the colleges and universityies of the country?
I have come to expect this from the institutions of higher learning in CA and NYC but Philly? I should have known, given the PC mind set of the Philly educators.
At least the University posted a disclaimer of sorts following the professors post.
.Ciccariello-Maher took issue with Drexel University’s statement. “While Drexel has been nothing but supportive in the past, this statement is worrying. While upholding my right to free expression, the statement refers to my (satirical) tweets as ‘utterly reprehensible.'” the Drexel University professor wrote. “White supremacy is on the rise, and we must fight it by any means. In that fight, universities will need to choose whether they are on the side of free expression and academic debate, or on the side of the racist mob.”

" We created Chavez" . He thinks Venezuela is a success
Reviews “[A] crisply written social and political history of the critical decades leading up to Chávez’s election in 1998. . . . For those who want to see the revolution continue, Ciccariello-Maher has made a critical contribution to our understanding, which is in and of itself enough to recommend this book without reservation. But more than that, We Created Chávez brilliantly demonstrates how social history scholarship can mine the lived experiences of rank-and-file activists and radical leaders for precious stones, and then set those gems in a visible and rigorous theoretical frame that allows us to see history in motion.”—Todd Chretien, Socialist Worker

Seems to me that the only "Self" assigned "Supremacy" goin on is that of the creatures that complain of it; ie, communist, marxist, socialist, global warming freaks, gaia creatures, environ[mental]ist, progressives and demoncraps.
I should have been able to figure that out from the word "cacophony". I COULD have, if it had been spelled with a "c". (There's that excessive pride sneaking back in my personality again!)
Did you hear of the New Year's gift to the Russian people? The UN resolution, unanimously passed, welcoming and supporting Russian (and Turkish) efforts in Syria.
I thought it was Old Ugly Cat. My eyes...
Sorry if I sound a little testy. I was just arguing with a Liberal on OPP. Well, attempting to argue. You cannot argue or debate with those unable to reason.
