I predict this thread will win the "Most Misleading, Out-of-Context Thread of the Year" award, hands-down (if there is such a thing.) a quick perusal of many of the replies reveals how well social engineering and media trickery works to fool people - especially those who want to be fooled. Whether OP is trying to dupe people, or was duped himself, I don't know, but this topic, in reality, isn't anything like what the OP and those who agree withthe assessment want it to be.

He is basically saying we should all be one mind and one opnion. division doesn't beget violence, which is what he is insinuating, hatred begets violence.

BEING IGNORANT of other people's beliefs, cultures, and worldviews is what begets hatred and bigotry.
He is NOT saying we should all be one mind and one opinion. That's ridiculous!!
He is promoting compassion, cultural competence, and communication between people with DIFFERING views.
:shk:
You know why things seem to 'progress'? Because of the Progressives pushing for it. You have a very limited and false idea of what "the left" and "global understanding and tolerance" are about.
didn't he just give the commencement address at an all black, all boys school? And weren't most of his remarks geared around how everyone outside of blacks are racists?

This dude has lost virtually any credibility he once had. He's like a quacking duck these days. He opens his mouth and what he says goes in some ear and out the other.
I still wonder if the man does stuff like this because he is trying to get under the skin of conservatives and the right or if he is just that ignorant.
What happened to celebrating diversity? LMAO

He was talking about Northern Ireland. One of the more divided pieces of land on the planet. Divided along sectarian religious lines. Maybe we do away with the sectarianism, which is strengthened by religious schools.
You couldn't tell a catholic from a Protestant unless you separate them into different schools and hammer home separate beliefs.
