Thought For The Day - 09.26.08

“The liberal idea of "diversity" is 2 white guys, 3 white women, 2 black guys, 2 Hispanic women, and an Asian transsexual all having the exact same left-wing ideas on every issue.  The conservative idea of diversity could be that exact same group of people or even just 10, straight, white males or 10 Hispanic women -- but all having diverse opinions on the issues.”  …John Hawkins

Spotlight on Diversity

This week’s Back Stage

 magazine’s spotlight, for

 performers, explored diversity

 and tackled the questions of whether actors should submit

 for roles of ethnicities other

 than there own, risking

 annoying casting directors, and how actors can escape being

 pigeon-holed.

  

“We all live with the objective  of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the  same.”  …Anne Frank

Dinesh D’Souza, author of The End of Racism says, “The solutions for ending racism are obvious. If you want to get rid of racial obsession, stop talking and thinking about race so much. If you want to remove race as the basis of decision-making in America, let's eliminate America's policies that make race the basis of decision-making. And if you want a party that stands for color-blindness and equal opportunity, you might consider voting for the Republicans.”
