THE BROWNS BOARD

Susan Rice says there be too many white people in national security positions

She's right. She's 100% spot on the money with her "groupthink" comment. The private sector figured this out a few years back when the global economy was the new thing.

I agree. I know I couldn't get that job may as well add some diversity to make things fair instead of giving it to a same group.

Quickly, lower the standards for minority candidates! We don't want the best. We want the most colorful!

If you name the best 22 football players in the NFL, how many quarterbacks will be in that list? Quickly, go find any top 100 or whatever list, and at or near the top you'll have Brady, Rodgers, Newton, for starters. Go back five years and it's Manning, Brady, Rodgers, Brees etc. But put those top 22 guys on a team and you're going to struggle to win many games.

 

Here's 2015's (as voted by the players):https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_Top_100_Players_of_2015

 

5 QBs, 6 WRs, 4 RBs.

 

Point being, the whole isn't necessarily the sum of the parts.

Well the idea that a bunch of old white ivy league guys probably don't represent the interests of most American people is not that crazy of an idea to me.

 

I actually agree with it.

 

Me too. I think there should just be more millenials in office period, regardless of race

Maybe not with final say - experience is still something that can't be taught, and a lot of young people would be very heedless with changing anything and everything. But as part of the decision making process, absolutely. It's not hard to see why young (especially minority) people get disengaged with the political process when it's just full of old (mainly white) people.

I don't understand why this is so hard to understand for some folks. The problem is people get stuck with hearing the word "white" and go in turtle shell defense mode. The truth is hiring a bunch of the same, like-minded group of people to make decisions for a diverse nation of people is stupid, no matter the color, race, or anything else.

Well for certain thinking that all white people think the same way is stupid.

So you've finally figured us out! That all of us privileged white folks think exactly the same way. Next time I see Donald Trump and Harry Reid at the groupthink for white oppressionists meeting down at the white privilege club I will have to let them know those rascally minorities are catching on to the game...

Eh not really what I was saying, in fact this comment is exactly what I'm talking about. Diversity can even be bringing in people who don't fit part of the hive-mind of an organization or government, but I think you're fooling yourself if this happens. All I'm saying is when a group of people who all think the same way make decisions for a ton of people it creates stupid policies and even laws. I think anyone who has worked in customer service can relate to that.

Really? Well let's recap. Which particular racial group in America voted for President Obama by approximately 97%?

 

So the need for diversity could just as easily be attained by adding more red haired people?

(since it appears you are only searching for chromatic diversity and not diversity of ideas)

"HEY, all white people shouldn't be making decisions for everybody...their lives don't matter !, that's racist"

So then why single people out by race and then comment that they are suffering from groupthink? That's exactly what people were saying.

 

Cause that's not what I'm saying, and that's why I clarified. When people hear diversity the media and other people immediately turn to that idea as an affront on white people, but that's not the point and it shouldn't be. Do you understand the word clarification?
