If they can't have differing values, then where's the diversity that's so important?

Ok, i see that you don't think people from different backgrounds can have similar values.

In today's news... FBI Director Christopher Wray said Tuesday that the agency has made about 100 domestic terrorism-related arrests since October, and the majority were tied to white supremacy.

I wish I was more surprised...

You're seeing something that isn't there.
I asked what kind of diversity is so important if it's not diversity of values.

Well obviously diversity of background and ethnicity. I thought that was a given...

What do you mean by diversity?

It's funny that the only quote in the article from Wray that corresponds to the title of the article is:

FBI Director Christopher Wray said Tuesday that the agency has made about 100 domestic terrorism-related arrests since October, and the majority were tied to white supremacy.

”I will say that a majority of the domestic terrorism cases that we’ve investigated are motivated by some version of what you might call white supremacist violence, but it does include other things as well,” Wray said at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, referring to cases in fiscal 2019, which began Oct. 1.

The rest of the references to "White Supremacy" is from the journalist.

Are any of them white?

 

[ximmix]

Are any of them white?

Well of course, I think most of America is white...

 

[ximmix]

Are any of them white?

The thought of diversity in society and in politics is to not be exclusive, but inclusive...

 

[Aldebaran]

Well of course, I think most of America is white...

We've been talking about "The Squad". See post #52 for the origin of our conversation.

There's no other way to reasonably interpret the statement. I hope you're not suggesting that the majority of the cases were "white supremacist violence + other things", and the minority of cases was also "other things".

It's difficult to say they do when they talk about this country as if it needs to be "fundamentally changed".

If the country is, in fact, a sick mess and a laughingstock, doesn't that mean it needs to be fundamentally changed?

Are all the instances of Antifa violence considered to be white supremacist violence, or is that considered "other things". Or are those instances not even considered as violent???

That's a very big "if".

ah ok you mean the "squad". i think they are women from minorities that finally take a stand...

 

[TLK Valentine]

That's a very big "if".

Is it now?

 

[NightHawkeye]

ah ok you mean the "squad". i think they are women from minorities that finally take a stand...

... a stand for what? Exactly?

Noting there is a difference between standing for something and simply being angry.

 

[ximmix]

That's a very big "if".

As an outsider, I can tell you for sure Trump is the laughing stock in international politics...

As the OP, I can tell you that this thread is about Antifa.
