Diversity is compelled uniformity of Ideas understand the game of American political left and its hatred for Indians.
Bend the knee and the master will grant you special benefits
Rest assured that being woke is being stupid and being evil. Any aspect of life that turns woke will turn that aspect into shit. Of course read the entire piece to understand this in detail.
White politicians from both sides of the aisle try to quote MLK all the time as someone who lead the civil rights movement. MLK to very large extent ran his entire fight through a moral high ground. That is why even the worst of worst politicians in USA including folks like Trump will not dare to criticize him publicly.
But another name you do not hear often is Malcom X. In my person opinion Malcom X did more damage than good and was flawed human being whose methods too were flawed and hurt the cause. But he was the stick where as MLK was the carrot. Malcom X’s efforts did had very large influence on the overall treatment of black people in this country. I am taking some creative liberty here to say that if MLK was Gandhi, Malcom X was Bhagat Singh.
Here is a small excerpt from one of the speeches of Malcom X. He insisted that black folks who separate from USA and create their own nation. But let us see his central argument.
To understand this, you have to go back to what the young brother here referred to as the house Negro and the field Negro back during slavery. There were two kinds of slaves, the house Negro and the field Negro. The house Negroes--they lived in the house with master, they dressed pretty good, they ate good because they ate his food--what he left. They lived in the attic or the basement, but still they lived near their master; and they loved their master more than their master loved himself. They would give their life to save their master's house--quicker than the master would. If the master said, "We got a good house here," the house Negro would say, "Yeah, we got a good house here." Whenever the master said "we," he said "we." That's how you can tell a house Negro.
If the master's house caught on fire, the house Negro would fight harder to put the blaze out than the master would. If the master go sick, the house Negro would say, "What's the matter, boss, we sick?" We sick! He identified himself with his master, more than his master identified with himself. And if you came to the house Negro and said, "Let's run away, let's escape, let's separate." The house Negro would look at you and say, "Man, you crazy. What you mean, separate? Where is there a better house than this? Where can I wear better clothes than this? Where can I eat better food than this?" That was that house Negro. In those days he was called a "house nigger." And that's what we call them today, because we've still got some house niggers running around here.
Now, the concept that Malcom X is describing here is well known in American history. In fact popular movies have shown it too. If you remember the movie Django Unchained you might remember the amazing character of Stephen played by Samuel Jackson. Instead of using racially charged terms here I will use the term “co-opted” to describe folks like “Stephen” here.
The co-opted groups are the groups that stay closer to their master, lick their feet and put their head inside their master’s ass unconditionally. In return they get their master’s leftovers which is better food than his other brothers and sisters might get.
Why the Political left does not like Indians in USA.
To understand the racism of folks like Durbin towards Indians one must understand the notion of “Stephens” and co-opting into groups.
Indian immigrants have only superficial surface level understanding of American political society. Indian immigrants who studied in India are brainwashed by India’s socialist, communist education system and a government controlled third rate media. Indians buy into nonsensical positions such as “Durbin is doing this because X is paying him” sort of ideas or “Evil capitalist for profit X is doing this for profits”.
DACA kids are arguably the poorest class of immigrants in USA. Why would Facebook funded Fwd.us spend so much time on DACA but not even 1/10th of its resources in H1B holders who actually power Facebook ? What profit motive explains this weird altruistic behavior towards DACA ?
Why Senator Durbin holds pretty large legal immigrant community hostage for other illegal immigrants ? Who is paying him for this ?
AILA lawyers at max make around $1K per H1B holder per year. Out of those $1K they might at max spend say $100 on lobbying. The actual H1B holder is more than happy to pay $10K upfront TODAY to any politician who picks up their cause. AILA lawyers are no match for Indian immigrants if the game is about money.
In democratic party and in the entire political left (this includes socialists and communists) one must surrender as a group to your masters. Then the master shares other benefits with you.
Democratic party often pretends to be on the side of blacks but in return they expect unconditional support from Blacks on all issues from abortion, to healthcare to free tuition and so on. The moment some black individuals sidesteps the democratic party agenda they are treated as pariahs (untouchables). An example will be made out of such people.
Political left will protect the worst of worst among them as long as they are co-opted. Like sex abusers, wife beaters, scammers and so on. But if the person steps out and expresses their own mind they are portrayed as evil.
Ayan Hisri Ali is a black and woman. Two victim groups that Democratic party pretends to support. Ayan Hisri Ali was also born Muslim, sold to a man by her father and she escaped Somalia to Netherlands and eventually to USA. She learned Dutch and English at much later age, was a crusader against things like female genital mutilation and was on Al Quida hit list.
Now, wouldn’t the feminists from Democratic leadership would love this amazing black, muslim, refugee woman who attained such prominence on her own and became a non political public intellectual (as per time in top 100) ?
Not at all. Ayan Ali remains one of the most hated women by the left in USA. Not only they have harassed her, they have actively tried to cancel her due to her criticism of Islam, support for free speech and individual freedom.
Dave Chappell the black stand up comedian faced the wrath of political left in USA for cracking some jokes on transgender community. So much that white supremacist Fox news anchor Tucker Carlson had to defend Dave.
The thing is in order to receive support for political left in USA you can’t be like Ayan Hisri Ali, you have to be someone like Ilhan Omar. Someone who actively identifies herself as a victim group (woman, black and muslim) and then completely surrenders to the leftist agenda. While Ayan is hated by American left, Ilhan is their darling because of Ilhan’s support for all and any nonsensical position of Democratic party and lot more. As Malcom X points out, someone like Ilhan not only embraces the political left as its masters she actively tries to out-do the left by being even more leftist than these leftists.
Coming back to Indian community (this also applies to Chinese), while 60% of them supposedly support democrats they are not overwhelmingly leftists by ideology. Most of them are simply brainwashed in India but after coming to USA they are able to change their mind on many topics. A great chunk of Indians support the republican party, many of them support Libertarian ideologies and many more are on the wide spectrum of democratic party and constantly changing.
More importantly Indian community is not a “co-opted group” which means they have no group identity and they do not surrender to the political left in USA as “victims”.
(The Khalistan movement on other hand has support from political left because “some” Sardars have successfully co-opted in political left by aligning with socialism and islam and so on. )
Indians in USA despite all the racism and a biased immigration law, do not identify themselves as “we are victims help us please”. They do not expect folks like Durbins as their master and do not be the Stephens of his household.
Senator Durbin would be happy to take up the cause of Indian immigrants if Indian immigrants launch a great campaign to support his positions on everything else. Such as abortions, gun control, curtailing free speech, financial surveillance, pro-Islamism, anti-Science, pro-authoritatian positions.
In democratic calculations Indian immigrants are thus to be despised or their spirit to be broken so they become one large victim group that surrenders to Dems.
This bring me to the title
“Diversity is compelled uniformity of Ideas” in political left. It means they call it diversity only if you agree on everything they say and all their ideas. The idea is to create a monolithic hive mind of many people but controlled by few like Senator Durbin. It is not possible with independent thinkers and those who are not your yes men.
Senator Dubin brought in Debu Gandhi, a young Indian lawyer staffer to show the world how much he loves Indians but I do not want to sound insulting to Mr. Gandhi here but it was a show to show a “co-opted” individual as example of Indians Durbin would like. It was a signal that others are not “co-opted”.
This is not easy to break.
Indian immigrant community will not surrender itself to any political party. Indian Americans voted against Hillary and they voted against Trump. They might vote against sleepy Joe too.
But as long as likes of Durbin remain in Democratic party, good senses will not prevail.
