“The quickest way to control a population is to turn it against itself. Divide and Conquer. That’s how the British ruled India. If you want to run a City or Country for the benefit of all the people who live in it, by contrast, you’d do the opposite of this.
You’d deemphasize racial and gender differences.
You’d understand that in a society and community of many different ethnic groups, tribalism is the greatest threat to unity and order. And you would resist using the existence of racism and gender as an excuse for failure. You would never allow anyone gender or race to blame an entire racial group or one gender for the sins of its ancestors. As this would serve only to embitter and divide the population. It might make a politician's job easier in the short term, yet over time it would wreck the City; community and indeed the country itself. Politicians and businesses once understood this.
Politicians, today no longer oppose segregation. They no longer insist on treating all genders and races equally. They now consider gender and race the centre of human identity. They demand that individuals be exalted or punished because of their gender or skin colour. Human citizens must be judged on what they do, not on how they look or who their parents were or what their ancestors did or did not do. Our elected politicians, at one time, stood for and said they did not believe in collective punishment or reward. They stood for and believed in the Individual. That’s why they opposed segregation.
Today activist protestors from numerous universities and colleges are demanding spaces entirely off-limits to WHITE people and are demanding segregated meeting areas within these publicly funded institutions of learnings, for Blacks ONLY. And that is NOT what the honourable Reverend Martin Luther King stood for during his short life. And NO media, politicians, professors etc. have acknowledged the irony of banning people, WHITE people or others on the basis of skin colour.
Tell me, if Brown versus Board ruled that school segregation was ILLEGAL, then how are any of these today's efforts to divide people by race, colour and gender legal???
For generations, it was an article of common sense and faith among politicians and businesses that integration was the key to racial and gender harmony. Bigotry grows from ignorance, was the assumption. The more personal exposure we all have to different groups, the more we’ll come to see that everyone’s basically the same. And that understanding is far less divisive than what we are now seeing today.
It’s sad that we no longer hear much from our so-called political leaders, academia or business executives about the importance of racial and gender harmony. As the emphasis now is on our differences which is the essence of the diversity agenda, #IMHOPEOPLE.
And not surprisingly, this has led to an explosion of racial and gender hostility in North American life. It was once considered the greatest possible sin to criticize someone for his/her skin colour or gender. Yet today and now it is regarded as a sign of enlightenment. And it's everywhere, in academia, politics and business, but especially on campuses throughout Canada and the USA.
The identity politics and policies of today may make a City, State, Province or Country easier to govern, it also makes them all much harder and unsafe to live in. Identity politics is based on the premise that everyone is a member of a subgroup, usually a racial or gender category. The point of achieving political power is to divert resources to your group. Which is another word for tribalism!
And this my friends is the most divisive possible way to run a Country, City, Province, State or Business. Because they are not about ideas, they are based on inborn characteristics, tribalism and identity politics which are inherently unreasonable. As there are no winning arguments of different opinions, or even having them. There is only victory or defeat for the groups.
In North America, virtually every non-white and or gender group reaps advantages from being racially and or gender-conscious and politically organized. So how long before someone asks the simple rational question: Why should the whites in North America not be allowed to think of themselves as a group and thus organize and agitate along racial and gender lines, too?
And when this happens, and at this rate of identity politics it will, and when White people become another interest group politically fighting for the spoils, Democracy throughout North America as we’ve known it shall be over. As the sense that we’re all in this together, united by citizenship in a common endeavour of some kind, as Citizens of a Country, City, State or Province, that shall end forever along with democracy, free speech, diversity and integration.
All thanks to politicians, bureaucrats, technocrats, special interest groups and lobbyists have developed a whole series of institutional problems and the lack of political legitimacy because of how politicians, academia, judges and businesses fail to behave morally; ethically and transparently in matters that are central to the lives of most people and treated such obligations as unimportant.
They ALL equally are responsible for encouraging today's permissiveness in the bedrooms that have found their way into the halls of Justice, Boardrooms, Political Parties and Governments.
Diversity is the failure of civil society and is putting us all back into tribalism of divide and conquer.
