This whole “diversity” thing has gone way too far — and National Security Advisor Susan Rice just took it to the next level, leaving an entire race out in the cold.
“Too often, our national security workforce has been what former Florida Sen. Bob Graham called ‘white, male, and Yale,’” Rice said, delivering a commencement speech at Florida International University. “In the halls of power, in the faces of our national security leaders, America is still not fully reflected.”
“White, male, and Yale”? Oh, goodness.
“I’m not talking about a human resources issue,” Rice stressed. “I’m highlighting a national security imperative.” https://youtu.be/MlBOEDjnyBQ
You know what else is a national security imperative? Liberalism — it’s the art of dividing people, encouraging minority rule and advocating for a non-existent Utopian system under which the government doles out everyone’s “fair share.”
“By now, we should all know the dangers of ‘group think,’ where folks who are alike often think alike,” Rice told the graduates. “By contrast, groups comprised of different people tend to question one another’s assumptions, draw on divergent perspectives and experiences, and yield better outcomes.”
It’s rather humorous because Rice has the same end goal that many people want from a president’s national security team — a team that’s experienced, objective and results-oriented. Honestly, is that not what we all want? A competent set of individuals advising the president on the pressing issues of our time?
But the Obama administration is anything but. The president has surrounded himself with people who think just like he does — badly, if at all.
Moreover, the proposed manner by which Rice is suggesting that team be selecting was completely wrong. If a white male can deliver the goods and check off all the boxes, then he should be hired — and the same goes for every person, regardless of race, color, religion, etc.
Individuals should be employed based on the value that they bring — this should be the default practice in governments, non-profits and businesses alike.
Rice duplicitously speaks of objectivity, encouraging that the best person be hired for the job, but tells the students at FIU that the color of their skin should play a part in deciding whether or not they are that “best person.”
Welcome to Liberal Logic 101.
