A "stale monoculture" is one that uses bright colors and patterns to create an illusion of individuality while largely being interchangeable when it comes to interests, personality, and outlook on the world.

While a "vibrant diversity" is a melting pot of ideas, views, and beliefs that doesn't need to create a way to artificially differentiating yourself through a means that's less than skin deep.

So from binging on Twilight Zone there has been one episode that featured black protagonists. I'm on S3 now and the last time I saw a black person was a wax statue of an African....tribal figure with a spear.

The 60's were something.

The all-black principal cast was a novelty for television in 1960. Said Rod Serling at the time (quoted in The Twilight Zone Companion by Marc Scott Zicree):

Television, like its big sister, the motion picture, has been guilty of the sin of omission... Hungry for talent, desperate for the so-called 'new face,' constantly searching for a transfusion of new blood, it has overlooked a source of wondrous talent that resides under its nose. This is the Negro actor.

A few other Twilight Zones would follow the example of this episode and cast blacks in significant roles, including the pastor in "I Am the Night—Color Me Black", with Ivan Dixon, and the electrician in "The Brain Center at Whipple's". These inclusions, though seemingly insignificant by modern standards, were so revolutionary at the time that The Twilight Zone was awarded the Unity Award for Outstanding Contributions to Better Race Relations in 1961.

Originally cast in the lead role was champion boxer Archie Moore, who would later exclaim, "Man, I was in the Twilight Zone!" when describing the knockout punch delivered by his opponent Yvon Durelle in a 1961 match.

they supposedly got lots of hate mail for "He's Alive" aired a week or two after George Wallace became governor of Alabama where dennis hopper played an aspiring neo-nazi demagogue secretly receiving orders from *gasp* Hitler's ghost! Some people did not take too kindly to the closing monologue

quote:

Where will he go next, this phantom from another time, this resurrected ghost of a previous nightmare – Chicago? Los Angeles? Miami, Florida? Vincennes, Indiana? Syracuse, New York? Anyplace, everyplace, where there's hate, where there's prejudice, where there's bigotry. He's alive. He's alive so long as these evils exist. Remember that when he comes to your town. Remember it when you hear his voice speaking out through others. Remember it when you hear a name called, a minority attacked, any blind, unreasoning assault on a people or any human being. He's alive because through these things we keep him alive.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.
