    Diversity is NOT a strength

    Here's a fun little exercise, to study the roots of the words Diversity and Divided. Here, from the online etymology dictionary, which is the Internet's go-to source for quick and reliable accounts of the origin and history of English words, phrases, and idioms, we have the following:

    https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=diverse
    divers (adj.)
    late 13c., "separate, distinct; various;" late 14c., "different in kind or character" (the sense now in diverse), from Old French divers (11c.) "different, various; singular, odd, exceptional; wretched, treacherous, perverse," from Latin diversus "turned different ways," in Late Latin "various," past participle of divertere "to turn in different directions," from assimilated form of dis- "aside" (see dis-) + vertere "to turn" (from PIE root *wer- (2) "to turn, bend").

    https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=divide
    divide (v.)
    early 14c., "separate into parts or pieces," from Latin dividere "to force apart, cleave, distribute," from assimilated form.

    These two words share the same root, and they mean the same thing. And we all know what Jesus said about a diverse house: "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand." (Matthew 12:25)

    So diversity is NOT our strength, in fact it divides and separate us, and causes conflict. This is apparent to everyone who spends any time in a diverse neighborhood or city. The utopian dream of all races perfectly getting along only exists in TV and the media.

    Re: Diversity is NOT a strength

    The first Congress didn't think diversity was so hot.
    The original United States Naturalization Law of March 26, 1790 provided the first rules to be followed by the United States in the granting of national citizenship. This law limited naturalization to immigrants who were "free white person[s]... of good character". It thus excluded Native Americans, indentured servants, slaves, free blacks and later Asians, although free blacks were allowed citizenship at the state level in certain states. It also provided for citizenship for the children of U.S. citizens born abroad, stating that such children "shall be considered as natural born citizens," the only US statute ever to use the term. It specified that the right of citizenship did "not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States."Wikipedia

    I believe the actual Act read " free white men"

    I see it as modern day propaganda. If diversity was really our strength it would be self evident and not having to be repeatedly endlessly. That right there more than anything tells me its not a strength but a division tactic.

    Truth is indeed self-evident, and does not require constant defense and/or reinforcement.

    An excellent point, and one that's really easy to counter people with. Thanks!

    Why not go back to the source?

    Leviticus 19:19 says, “Keep my decrees. Do not mate different kinds of animals. Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed. Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material.”

    Deuteronomy 22:9–11 commands, “Do not plant two kinds of seed in your vineyard; if you do, not only the crops you plant but also the fruit of the vineyard will be defiled. Do not plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together. Do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.”

    Obvious that the intent of our Founders has been twisted by the leftists beyond recognition. We all know Barry Soetero was not a natural born citizen, but by the founders' intent laid out in this Naturalization Act, he wasn't even a citizen, much less natural born.

    It specified that the right of citizenship did "not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States.

    Re: Diversity is NOT a strength

    Unity is strength. Everyone co-operating towards a common goal. Diversity means you are fighting to achieve different goals. Like Bosnia-Herzegovina or Rwanda in the -90’s, Iraq in -00’s, Libya and Syria in the -10’s...
    Cultural Marxism: -The idea that good, hard working, white people should pay for those who are not, and thus in the name of equality create the conditions for their own genetic annihilation

    Exactly, which is why it's kind of perplexing how anyone would ever even think that diversity is strength. In every practical situation you can think of, the strongest is the most unified.
