The price of diversity

[frostfire]

I put this under comedy section because at the end of the day it was amusing and hillarious

To spice up qualification, my unit did team championship for sections to compete against each other. I'm the marksmanship OIC, distinguished and compete on the army's dime, so I couldn't be part of my section team. Two NCOs with the same rank and ethnicity were the top scorers in last year individual excellence in competition match, so the outcome of the team match was certain with those two and another two above average shooters as a team.

After catching some flak and sneers from other sections, I nonchalantly told my NCO's that each of them would form team and make sure it reflects Army's top priority of SHARP/EO i.e. the teams represent everyone. As in e.v.e.r.y.o.n.e.
I left them in charge and continued 1:1 coaching with shooters who were still shooting on the line.

When I came back, the teams were already moving towards the firing line. The NCO's had come up with the perfect EO team!
The team had officers of various ranks, NCO of various ranks, junior enlisted, multiple ethnicities, all genders, various age groups, and a cadet!
I guess they failed to catch my sarcarsm.
Care to guess how our perfect EO teams perform in the match?

Yep, that is the price of "forced" diversity. But hey, we accomplished SHARP/EO goals.
Who cares about marksmanship anyway. It's such an archaic, sexist, discriminating concept.
Ever see the top lead slingers in any shooting discipline in the US? They can use more diversity.

Measureable progress Comrade FF; the proletariat acknowledges you. Unfortunately, by not redefining success to meet the party's goals (focus on diversity vs. performance outcomes [marksmanship - unacceptable, recidivist sexist term prone to causing an individual to concentrate on personal achievement vs. party goals]), you've only accomplished part of the mission. Report to your anointed Political Commissar for remedial SHARP/EO/EEO indoctrination and a mandatory Maoist auto-flagellation session immediately. (I need to get better at channeling BL; sadly my heart just isn't in it any more.)

some of you jokers just dont get it....

If 'the party' says there are five fingers, then damnit, there are five fingers.

When the Left Turns Against Itself

Bret Weinstein is a biology professor at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash., who supported Bernie Sanders, admiringly retweets Glenn Greenwald and was an outspoken supporter of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

You could be forgiven for thinking that Mr. Weinstein, who identifies himself as “deeply progressive,” is just the kind of teacher that students at one of the most left-wing colleges in the country would admire. Instead, he has become a victim of an increasingly widespread campaign by leftist students against anyone who dares challenge ideological orthodoxy on campus.

This professor’s crime? He had the gall to challenge a day of racial segregation.

A bit of background: The “Day of Absence” is an Evergreen tradition that stretches back to the 1970s. As Mr. Weinstein explained on Wednesday in The Wall Street Journal, “in previous years students and faculty of color organized a day on which they met off campus — a symbolic act based on the Douglas Turner Ward play in which all the black residents of a Southern town fail to show up one morning.” This year, the script was flipped: “White students, staff and faculty will be invited to leave campus for the day’s activities,” reported the student newspaper on the change. The decision was made after students of color “voiced concern over feeling as if they are unwelcome on campus, following the 2016 election.”

Mr. Weinstein thought this was wrong. The biology professor said as much in a letter to Rashida Love, the school’s Director of First Peoples Multicultural Advising Services. “There is a huge difference between a group or coalition deciding to voluntarily absent themselves from a shared space in order to highlight their vital and under-appreciated roles,” he wrote, “and a group or coalition encouraging another group to go away.” The first instance, he argued, “is a forceful call to consciousness.” The second “is a show of force, and an act of oppression in and of itself.” In other words, what purported to be a request for white students and professors to leave campus was something more than that. It was an act of moral bullying — to stay on campus as a white person would mean to be tarred as a racist.

Irony. LMAO.

Interesting to watch the various extreme left factions turn on each other. I've read a few places where it has been said that the radical leftists blacks have no interest in anything to do with whites or other races-even if most of their other goals are the same.
Maybe they all will decide to take up arms against each other and thin the leftist herds without assistance from any groups on the right.
