By this I hope the professor, he will be able use it showing how important these diversity programs are. Hoping that this diversity programs will draw news coverage about MIS, suicide prevention and how important diversity program is.
The professor I talk to is also a counselor, who also tries to prevent suicide among its students.
Good for him, but the reason that "Diversity Programmes" are reviled in the USA is the simple fact that they completely and sometimes explicitly exclude Caucasian men from their agendas. There will not be true "Diversity", nor real peace, until
everyone is welcome at the table.
Too, it's worth recalling that "hate" takes several forms, and the term itself is frequently used incorrectly. First and foremost is the hatred generated when someone is wronged; this is by far and away the strongest type and is entirely personal and is one of the ways that karma works the way it does. The sort of "hate" that "Diversity Programmes" try to "cure" is a general distaste for those who are not like us (us, of course, being massively variable); this is not pure hatred at all, but rather discomfort -- and can be cured by exposure. Then we get the sort of hatred that the psychotic and the violent get -- and that's not well understood at all, and desperately needs to be. I don't know if any serious research is being done on that front, but I'd like to see more "mass shooters" in front of the psychologists than simply being shot dead by the cops in the heat of the moment. Something's driving these, and we need to get to the bottom of it.
On karma. I've been criminally wronged several times in my life and career, but have each time considered things and opted for no direct action -- I have too much to lose. Sooner or later, the clowns involved
will wrong somebody who doesn't have a lot to lose and get the cr@p kicked out them or worse. Sure, I track those who have wronged me, mainly so there's no interaction -- especially in employment -- and laugh like mad when they do "get what's coming to 'em". And I've seen in action quite a few times.
It's vastly more complex than "black and white" (and I'm not using that in a "racist" way).
