After reading through each post in this thread 
, I’m convinced this board has to be on life support.
And then what will you losers do?
Libtards seemingly have a natural ability to ruin everything good in life…
The only question is ….a hereditary or environmental affliction?

Because there is a substantial number of people who want to return to the world as they think it existed back in 1776.
And then what will you losers so?
Awesome. And this is after you edited it. Worry less about the health of this board and more about the fact that your synapses have stopped firing, vegetable.
It's interesting you should mention something like this. When I was growing up America was referred to as the great melting pot. Now if you walk into a school you can see posters of America being referred to as a mosaic, with cultures being kept separate.
All I did was post the article. I never considered this to be a "controversial" issue.
But perhaps you do. Good on you.
Because it's more appropriate. Melting pot infers losing identity. Mosaic does not.
It's interesting that, at a time when injustices, inequities and treatment based on race, gender, social status, etc. were at their greatest (i.e. worst), the message was that we were all as one (this was intentional, of course), and as we worked toward more and more equal treatment, we realize and appreciate the differences in one another, as individuals and as groups ... and now that there's push back from the "reality isn't real" crowd trying to re-establish the "old ways," those same folks are focusing on metaphors claiming the blending of things together, even as they're being treated unequally.
Yes there would be. But he changed his boardname to @GrimReaperI wonder, if all the art created by non-hetero artists were to be removed from all the museums would any art be left?
Don’t get me started because I very rarely go there on these boards. But I will say one thing is clear, and that is a way-too-large share of the populace is not happy unless they have something to b!tch about.
I think its much ado about nothing, but I suspect that you're a little disappointed you're not eliciting the responses you were hoping for. Hey, that's not a bad thing.

Some might view it as an attempt or desire to promote keeping people separated and segregated.
Diversity to Barren would be bean dip, onion dip, ranch dip, hummus dip, etc...
Actually, I think balkanization is where the country may be headed to. Certainly this board is.
It's easy to laugh, but "separate but equal" has made a quiet comeback.
Melting pot does not infer losing identity but the creation of something new, better, stronger....
The first use in American literature of the concept of immigrants "melting" into the receiving culture are found in the writings of J. Hector St. John de Crevecoeur. In his Letters from an American Farmer (1782) Crevecoeur writes, in response to his own question, "What then is the American, this new man?" that the American is one who "leaving behind him all his ancient prejudices and manners, receives new ones from the new mode of life he has embraced, the government he obeys, and the new rank he holds. He becomes an American by being received in the broad lap of our great Alma Mater. Here individuals of all nations are melted into a new race of men, whose labors and posterity will one day cause great changes in the world."
Sorry - I don;'t agree.
Mosaic is a better illustration of what the country is.
Balkanization is where the country is headed.
If you are still dating the same woman - ask her her thoughts on whether its a melting pot or a mosaic. I am curious as to her thoughts.
Well, I bow to Ameringer's feet in one respect. I had a .333 batting percentage in art history classes.foster diversity....
and inclusion....
This is gonna be a problem for some.....
Palm Beach couple's $4M gift to Penn State museum intended to foster inclusion, diversity
Will Ameringer and Kevin Byrne also will donate 19 works of art created by LGBTQ artists.www.yahoo.com
Did anyone actually read the article? Let me summarize:
1. Two gay guys donated $4M to the Palmer Museum.
2. In addition to the money they donated 19 works of art by artists that are/were (they may or may not still be alive) LGBTQ.
3. They hope their art collection will help to foster DEI.
Nothing more or less. The OP wanted to create a **** storm and a lot of you fell for it.

In all fairness, we don’t need to be coaxed into a sh|t storm. We create them ourselves every day.
