Diversity Conference

**KellyMac** · 1st-August-2008

We just got an email at work the other day about the upcoming diversity conference. The head of the agency is encouraging us all to go, and don't be afraid to wear ethnic dress.

So we were thinking my husband could wear his kilt (it really is the whole 9 yards - I made it myself), complete with dirk in the sock and claymore on the back. But we thought he might be arrested lol.

Then I thought maybe I could paint myself blue and put mud in my hair and go as a Pict. Thought I'd probably get kicked out.

Then I had the best idea of all. This could get me kicked out AND beat up! Since we supposedly all came from the Olduvai Gorge in Africa, I was thinking I wear minimum clothing, if any at all, paint my skin dark brown, and wear an afro wig.

Then I thought that would probably be a bad idea.

I sent my boss an email with the Pict and Scot suggestions, but he didn't reply...

You go in just Yfronts and string-vest, and your husband go in lingerie... when asked, just explain - I may be female sex and him male sex, but inside, we fweeel my gender is male and his gender is feminine.

And then scream "DISCRIMINATION" when we get kicked out!

Precisely.

Mind you, I'd bet - if you followed that, only he'd get kicked out.

'Diversity', Inclusivity', 'Tolerance', 'Consensus'; weasel-words denoting a faux-morality and used selectively to coerce and beat down others and make them conform to a narrow view of 'Difference'.

'We will sit here until we have consensus and everybody agrees with me'.

These are 'captured' words, twisted and deformed to mean ONLY what the PC Brigade want them to mean. They have gone the way of 'Peace'.

So, Kelly, you have Pict blood, eh.

You know of course that the Emperor Hadrian had a wall built across the bottom of Scotland to keep the Picts out. They were an unruly mob given to raiding and stealing things.

The Romans built the wall with watch towers and patrols to keep an eye on them. Intolerant buggers. They had a jaundiced view of 'diversity'. The Picts developed a strategic ploy which has come down to us today in a well-known word.

To put the Roman's off guard and lull them into a false sense of 'friendliness' they would come to the base of the wall with their kiddies and have a cook-out, a barbie. Whole families of them. Sometimes several families. Occasionally it was just canoodling couples on their hides. The guards would watch the kiddies play and the adults sitting around drinking Scotch (of course), and perve on the couples having their Scottish flings. The Picts would even chuck chicken legs up to them. When they went home...... they would leave all their rubbish behind.

After a few years the piles of rubbish would reach almost to the top of the wall and at night the Picts would come along, scramble up the pile, go into England (Britannia) and nick goodies from the locals.

The Romans called these raiding parties, 'Pict-nickers'.
