Diversity is the cornerstone of humanity.
Really? Diversity is a product of the natural environment, not a factor in creating the natural environment. And certain diversity is good, others bad.
The human genome contains an almost countless number of variations, i.e., diversity. Thousands of these variations are catastrophic to the human condition - Type 1 diabetes, cataracts, retinitis pigmentosa, heart disease, childhood leukemia, Down's syndrome, and on and on.
Good diversity is good; bad diversity is bad. This strange idea that diversity is in and of itself a positive is a new and very flawed idea.
I don't understand your argument. Are you stating poor people and black people don't serve their community? Don't donate to charity? Because I don't see that at all.
You raise a fake argument. YOU brought up race and financial condition. I asked, what are these protesters actually DOING to make the world a better place? The data show - not nearly as much as they could or should, a shortage that should be embarrassing to them:
— Although liberal families’ incomes average 6 percent higher than those of conservative families, conservative-headed households give, on average, 30 percent more to charity than the average liberal-headed household
— Conservatives also donate more time and give more blood.
— The giving of Democrat leaders like Obama, Gore, Kerry, Obama are embarrassing. Most middle class families give more than these rich politicians. The Republicans leaders were MUCH more generous.

I think you are also biased on your assessment of protestors and their home life. You meet. You pray, you discuss options for moving forward. You unite communities, you distribute information, You plan future events, you galvanize the vote, you support candidates that share your views, you push to enact laws, and hopefully change your community. I don't see a holier than thow attitude with people who attend, plan, and organize protests. But I do agree, I don't like any division based on political affiliation.
You don't see a holier-than-thou attitude among protesters? Then I think you just aren't paying attention.
Read their signs.
I do not support defunding police. I support changing the policies, training, having cops hold their fellow cops accountable, and eliminating officers who are showing aggressive behavior or racial bias. Protect and serve, as opposed to militarizing them.
I am still looking for a single individual who supports ignoring police abuse. Can't seem to find one. I can find a blatant bias AGAINST police, such as the calls to eliminate police, fire them just because, and the references to Michael Brown's father as the father of an innocent victim.
Michael Brown ... you know, the guy who roughed up a store owner half his size, who then tried to grab an officer's gun, and then charged at the officer. That guy is now a symbol of police abuse?? Why? Because this show has spun out of control. Felons are now heroes; cops are now villians.
Yes, sure, only those who need to be held to account. Like who, exactly? Which police officer who engaged in abuse is walking free, as the fiction argues?
I just don't see your generalizations for protestors, especially since these protests are starting to look like a snapshot of the communities that they occur in. Very multi ethnic, and a lot of whites attend as well.
Why do you keep harping on race? Who cares?
Protesters are nowhere to be seen volunteering in homeless shelters. Seriously, did any of these individuals say, "Hey, instead of blocking streets and chanting, how about we help homeless veterans?"
Not that I have ever heard. Just people putting on a show to make themselves feel better, without actually DOING anything to make the world better.
