Why do Wealthy Democrats Hate Diversity?

Plenty of evidence exists which points to white liberals segregating themselves, even when they live in diverse cities.

The Most Diverse Cities Are Often The Most Segregated

And choose segregated schools to send their children to.

One reason why affluent, liberal parents often choose segregated schools, even when that may not be their intention-

In ultra liberal California, the #1 most diverse state in the country, segregation in schools is worse than almost anywhere else in the country-

The only one of those links that makes any claims about "liberals" is the 2nd one, and it acknowledges that the effect it points to may be unintentional. That doesn't fit with the "choose" in your OP title question.

In my experience, people sort more on a socioeconomic basis. People who have kids often factor in the school system in an area, at least when they are financially able to pick such things. "diversity"?

Then we're pretending we don't know California is a blue state, and large metropolitan areas tend to be made up of more liberal residents. OK.

Diversity is a strength, just not enough of one to motivate liberals to mix their kids into. Got it.

My gut instinct is to dismiss this whole premise as just another silly boo hiss at Democrats. Democrats at least have the humanity to be conflicted. There are plenty of Republicans who espouse diversity and may be conflicted if from a position of living well they are asked the same question. There are all shades of Democrats and Republicans. I would hope we all have some humanity for our fellow human and the ability to be conflicted. No one of means chooses to live in scrabble crime ridden neighborhoods. If you acquire the means you move out. I guess the point the poster is trying to make on a very simplistic level is that living well and being conflicted is worse than having no confliction at all.

I'm glad we pulled down all those statues of rich Democrat slaveholders. Got to bury that embarrassing history.

• Only a fool would bury history.
• Only an idiot would think that tearing down statues will bury history.
• Only a abhorrent a-hole would adulate the history those statues applaud.

Do you forget your life's biggest "eff-ups?" I doubt you do or have. None of us does. Just as we don't flaunt our various failures, neither does the US need to do so with its own. In any case, not "airing one's dirty linen" is very different from forgetting or disregarding the fact that one has dirty linen.

Are you calling Democrats idiots and fools? Can't disagree with you there.

Despite all the glowing praise Democrats have for diversity, their financially privileged members seem to refuse it in their own lives. Some examples include:

But it's not just the mega rich D's who're sheltering away their families from diversity. Writing for the LA Times, Professor Margaret Hagerman conducted research with wealthy progressive parents, and asked this question-

As progressive parents, is their primary responsibility to advance societal values — fairness, equal opportunity and social justice — or to give their children all the advantages in life that their resources can provide?

More often than not, values lost out.

One progressive parent lamented, “I care about social justice, but — I don’t want my kid to be a guinea pig.”

Why do wealthy democrats hate diversity in their own lives, and choose to live in white enclaves?

So your upset because Dems act like Republicans? Uhm ok

To be fair to "wealthy Democrats," people of ALL ethnicities, economic status, and political persuasions want to live in the safest areas as possible.


I do think that a few self-identified "liberals" genuinely want to put their money where their mouth is, so they actually do live in "diverse" neighborhoods and feel that their children should attend the local public schools.


I think that we should be very understanding toward those liberals who do not practice what they preach. We should not embarrass them. And they, in return, might consider being less strident in branding other people with the R-word.

Wealthy Democrats are all three, but the easiest way to sum it all up is they are power hungry. So go fourth, divide people, lie to them, point out who they say are "racist" (people who simply call out their bull$#!t), make promises to make things all better, then use their wealth to influence politicians to do the things they want them to do. Not saying that some Republican donors are any better, but given the quantity and how blatant it is, wealthy Democrats are more notorious. Crazy Bernie is a great example:

-He got wealthy from government and his wife but never told anyone he couldn't hold a job longer than 2 weeks before he was 40 years old

-He says banks rip people off, while he is being investigated for bank fraud

-He tells everyone their taxes are going to be raised but pays less than what his tax rate is

-He's in the boat to get Trump and accuse him of colluding with Russia, however he had got together with his communist friends during his time in Russia (during the Cold War, with Russia as our enemies)

-In addition to everything he says and his hypocritical ways, he made millions off of his book deal while saying how bad the other millionaires and billionaires are, AND he owns 3 homes in Vermont

Crazy Bernie, in many ways, is a stereotypical wealthy Democrat. Fauxahontas Warren isn't any better. She lied about being Native American to get her into Harvard and made her fortunes ripping off realtors. The bottom line is all these wealthy Democrats are ALL Marxists. Marxists, whether they're socialist, progressive, or communist, all lie, distort, and mislead others so they can control you.

Two of the most racially segregated counties in the country are in California. Someone brought this up to Kamala Harris the other night at the Detroit debate. In an age where white Dems compare ICE to the Gestapo, ICE facilities to concentration camps, and Trump supporters to Nazis, you'd think Dems wouldn't be looking to segregate themselves from the diversity the claim to love so much.

So why do diverse neighborhoods hate wealthy Democratic Party members?


They don't. They hate the GOP.

Anyone posting in this thread (besides hat and I) actually live in a diverse neighborhood?
