I made the mistake of renting a place in the city limits here in Des Moines and some "diverse" genius stole my fishing rod and my tackle box out of my pick-up truck last night( everything was worth probably $40 ).

I can't wait to move out of this "diversity" ghetto and go back to a small, country town where people respect each other and stealing someone's crap is probably the last thing on anybody's mind.

Also, stop making this stupid "diversity" posters I see at work, where they have one Black, one White, one Asian, one Hispanic, one Indian, don't they realize people can see it is all BS? I am done!

I love this guy!

PS - Diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.

I have friends who live in the deep South, very good friends, who do live in those small towns. Hate to break this to you but a lot of small towns, have crime, burglaries, and kidnappings. As long as there is this thing called the HUMAN RACE, crime will exist, and not just in one Area, but thruout this Country. I understand right now, because of these hard times we are in, there are more roberies, and assults going on along with those who do commit murder. This ain't the Change most of us bargained for, Is it. When things get rough and People are desperate over such a bad economy, crime will exist, in this day and age, people seem not to need a reason to commit crimes, and i don't care what State you live in Crime exists. My Cousin tells me even in these small towns, things have changed, not as free as it use to be.

Links...or are we supposed to just take your word for it?

No worries:

The issue of racial bias is a sensitive one in Iowa’s prison system because blacks comprise about 25 percent of inmates, compared to about 2.6 percent of blacks in the state’s overall population.

Diversity is nothing more than a propaganda mechanism used to:

discriminate against whites
flood the country with illegal immigrants
and.....help your local school system to indoctrinate your child into thinking that being a liberal will make them a better person.

You are a white supremacist right? The last time I checked the United States has an extremely diverse History. The Spaniards and Germans were in the United States centuries ago. The Native North Americans (people of color) were here first. The Puritans brought their terrible religion and other horrible diseases. etc. Your attacks on diversity and liberalism make no sense. It's fine if you do not agree with homosexuals. However, they have been around for centuries too and all your crying, griping, pouting, finger pointing, grumbling, mumbling, blaming, foot stomping, and tantrums aren't going to change that. Was Adolf Hitler successful at eliminating the Jews? No. They are still here. Did he eliminate the communists? No. As pathetic as they are Stalin was not defeated. See you can't get rid of something that is infinite.

I love these types of "arguments". The last time I checked it wasn't 1620 anymore.

It is 2010. Diversity has become a way of life in America. Are you that ignorant?

So discriminating against white people so we can have less white people in a school or work place has become a way of life? I hadn't heard that.
