Sweeping Out the Old
Diversity laws obviously create a mess of contradictions. They create rather than solve problems. We must assume therefore that problems are what the Obama administration is after. Chaos and confusion are the hallmark of the Cloward-Piven strategy. The aim is to overwhelm and thus paralyze the system. When that happens, someone (in this case our historical president) will step in and make it all alright. In the meantime, it is clear that the law allows that white males can now be legally discriminated against, held hostage, threatened, robbed, or whatever else anybody else would want to do to them.
This amounts to just another outrage in a whole series of recent outrages. It will do nothing to increase the efficiencies of our financial institutions. I remember some years back, AT&T wanted to diversify its workforce. They offered their white male employees early retirement with incentives. Many took it. They were then replaced in accordance with somebody’s idea of racial quotas. We all know where AT&T stands today.
It’s been tried elsewhere as well. In Zimbabwe - former breadbasket of Africa - whites were summarily chased off the farms and both the economy and food production collapsed.
Chavez of Venezuela did the same thing when he nationalized the oil industry and sent foreigners packing. Result: An industry spinning its wheels in the mud of mismanagement.
In the examples I mention above, the effort to achieve diversity (or its opposite), though ultimately catastrophic, was in some ways laudable. It fed on some degree of idealism; a sense of proper redress, perhaps; some (misplaced) notion of fairness. It lacked only the deeper understanding summed up in the by the wisdom that says: Doing it to one, is doing it to all. In other words, you cannot right the wrong of discrimination by discriminating. However, in our now nearly two-year old Obamanation laws are not passed to mitigate excess; they are passed to help sweep out the old by bringing about its utter and complete collapse.

Fixing the problems that their own type of programs and regulation created. And there is some self-knowledge,maybe anxiety over being discovered - hence the exaggerated volume with which they assign the blame to the "past 8 years."
