What Multiculturalism Can Do For Everyone | Chris Jackson | TEDxNewYork

One of the most powerful things that can happen to you when you read literature is to see yourself in the stories of others. But what happens when the stories we read share only one culture or worldview? Editor Chris Jackson shares five reasons why we need multicultural literature.
Editor Chris Jackson breathes life into the works of visionary African-American writers. He's the newly named editor-in-chief of Random House's One World imprint.

This aged terrible

Multiculturalism naturally and subconsciously puts everyone in a group and destroys individualism. Which in turn allows the governing body to put everyone in a class. Multiculturalism allows classism and ideologies that are destructive to society as a whole. We can co exist as a society without the nuances. If you want to live in a multicultural world you have to oboes by overall laws and views. That’s where the clash begins. Religion, standards, etc become the complexities that make this impossible. Most normal people can co exist with the overall laws. Crime is crime but there are ideologies based on certain cultures that have made even that a debate. The rabbit hole goes on forever.

MULTI culturalism simply is the forcing together all races and cultures in the US mainly,(without first asking any single race if they want to vote on it) Instead, the government itself, along with corporate America ENFORCES it - without a choice and All (mainly whites) have to abide by it, or be pushed into a cave to live away from society, where basically your access to American employment and daily means will end, leaving you as a homeless outcast or national enemy

@@user-cf9np9cy8q if you can grow your own crops, hunt your own food and build your own home you could get by. It’s what was intended when American land was conquered/founded.

[@andreayates4951]

Take a look at England and the rest of Europe.

[@lavelle2911]

@sarah jones That's because multiculturalism is forced by the government, the people don't want it.

[@user-wb1vm9ex4k]

What about it? Unless Europe wants to give back all the stolen goods and riches from colonialism, they ought to keep quiet.

[@andreayates4951]

We’re is the evidence that the Europeans did this. Each generation has paid for something that their is no evidence. Can you proof we did these things. It’s sick . It’s called brainwashing. That’s all I am going to say on the matter. Oh by the way we are English not British.

[@futuoinvictus7669]

Powerful! Multiculturalism and immigration is beautiful. Like when Europeans discovered the Americas and began migrating there en masse. Can you believe those poor indigenous folks had never experienced the wonder of both multiculturalism and the cultural and economic enrichment it provides prior to that?

[@Patrickstarrrrr69]

I’m assuming you’re one of those who think the natives were peace-loving people who never imposed violence or conquered other tribes for land, game, or women

Different approach in multiculturalism

[@user-cf9np9cy8q]

oh yeah and its too easy to see Go's to show that plainly every race has their own agenda plans and hopes for their own...............so then, what did the forced multiculturalism achieve? YET its still being forced today - even more so
