    sorry, adopted step-daughter. Errol Musk raised her since she was 4 years old.

    "America in the next 20 years will become, the first time in its history, a minority white country." Paraphrased

    Why is that bad, does Merica treat her minorities poorly?

    "America in the next 20 years will become, the first time in its history, a minority white country."

    Good. The fact that anyone with a drop of "non-white" blood isn't considered white makes it inevitable anyway.

    Do you have a source this is how it works in america? Isn't it based on census data where people choose how they identify?

    here’s the rub on that. yes that logic normally works. but when this kind if pos “enemy” has all the money in the world, they need to be interrupted. often. and told to follow their nazi leader.

    Thats not the purpose of the interview, which is to shed light on the Musk background. Getting into an argument isn’t going to do that.

    The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

    Emerald heir Elon cultivated his entire worldview growing up in Apartheid South Africa with this guy as a dad. It should surprise no one that he's tossing out nazi salutes on national television when he feels emboldened to do so by a fascist dickhead president.

    *European white

    There were all levels of melaniated peoples here before colonization. Just none that couldn't tan. Those dark enough became the first slaves. Those light enough, covered up to keep the sun kisses at bay, and became "white". Everyone else was herded into the "Indian" label.

    You have no idea. The entire country manipulated by it.take a look at what's happening with the "xenophobia" running rampant right now. As it stands a deadline of June 30 has been set for foreigners to leave. Supposedly just the illegals, but mobs don't care.

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

    Declaration of Independence: A Transcription

    This is what makes us American. Not our race, creed, color, religion, gender, orientation, or anything else that might divide us. We stand united in our beliefs of self-governance, equality, and the pursuit of happiness.

    Elon Musk and his racist father can go straight to hell.

    Didn’t that only apply to white men at the time?

    Yes, and not only that, the very forefathers who signed this declaration enslaved the people it didn’t apply to for a long time after.

    This bright vision of America is contrasted by the hypocrisy and failures of its leaders and citizens from then and to this day. But it is also upheld by brave people who dedicate their lives to correcting it, and the everyday citizens who participate in their government to shape that vision.

    Musk’s ironic and oblivious endorsement of white colonization could be said to reflect the hypocrisy of the first colonizing immigrants to this land, and the founding fathers. But his words do not reflect their ideals as laid out in the Constitution and the Declaration. I think the first step in eliminating that hypocrisy is holding ourselves to those ideals today.

    I think that while racism is an American tradition, it is not an American idea and so must be rejected out of hand. Musk may live here, and operate massive business interests intertwined with our government, and he may technically be a citizen, but he is not an American in my view.

    I’m saying it’s a lie and always has been. Americans need to stop fantasising about the past. Same goes with the creepy reverence for the founding fathers.

    Focus on the future and building a better world, not clinging to a past that never existed.

    No they should, that's exactly why they should ditch the tainted words of liars. You can strive for these things without clinging on to a rose tinted past.

    Your nationalism is exactly why you are stuck struggling like his. It needs to die already.

    yes, and it was known from the start to be lies. lies are what makes us american. they knew “all men” meant “white and landed”. then a century later they “had” to give more equality so they sprinkle a little crack around and boom got some slave labor again.

    fuck america in all its forms.

    it was never a real place.

    edit: if i sound pissed it’s cause i am. also remember “white” meant “not irish. not italian. not catholic. not gay.” all sorts of shit over time. musk is a completely irredeemable piece of shit.

    The US becoming a country with a minority of white people would mean it's healing. That's how it was at least 250 years ago.

    Lots of minorities voted for Trump. I wouldn't call that healing or anything approaching it.

    What you're saying sounds an awful lot like "not white = good" and that's not any better than other kinds of racism, it just sounds better in our cultural moment. It's still racist though.

    "I don't see color" liberal bullshit.

    The concept of race is made up, but the results of it are very real and you're a fool for ignoring that.

    What exactly am I encouraging?

    This shit doesn't go away when you ignore it, and the reason that it's still a major problem today is because liberals like you think it's better to just pretend it's not real (I don't see color), than actually addressing it.

    Read MLK's "Letter From Birmingham Jail" for a much better explanation than I could ever give you:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_from_Birmingham_Jail#Summary_and_themes

    For some reason I have the feeling that you won't bother, but I'd love to be proven wrong.
