Liberals love to claim we blacks are modern victims, yet stop when it's time to talk about reparations.

No wonder BLM loots with this type of confusion.
Funny thing is they just aren't doing it right. Musk is more succesful at looting than just about anyone. The average petty criminal might make off with few thousand, maybe ten thousand if they're lucky, and do so at pretty high personal risk. Musk's made off with how many millions in handouts all completely legal while the silly people are still clammoring for some table scraps?

Still waiting for him to "end world hunger". Haven't seen it yet there Elon.

Aren't there more decent human beings to celebrate than crooked egomaniac billionaires?

In short, Elon Musk wouldnt even technically be African American on the Census as the census defines African American as having origins in black racial groups from Africa. Elon would simply be white on the census.


Also, we wouldnt call some a white person born in Hong Kong, that immigrated to America a Chinese American. Why would we call Elon anything near "African American" ?
Blacks have come here from all over the World and not just the short window of slave trade. I work with a black dude who is actually from South Africa and he calls himself American, because he is.

Are you legitimatley naive enough to belive that "ending world hunger" is something he could do just like that? LOL, c'mon, you have to know better than that.

It doesn't get anymore western and white than your modern African American.



No they don't. They call themselves "American" or "Asian American."


Do people call Kamala Harris a South-Asian Jamaican American? No.
The ONLY time I've heard people refer to themselves as Italian-American is when discussing something involving the culture of Italians, such as food. Nobody goes around saying they're Italian-American, but as you know, some folks make things up to justify what they do.

It seems you misunderstood what happened. There were simpletons suggesting that he could end world hunger immediately with his money if he really wanted to....so he called them out on it and said he'd sell all of his stock and give it away to end world hunger if they proved it was actually possible to do so with the amount of money he has.

Obviously their stupid claims were BS, so it ended there.

He never suggested it was possible, anyone with a brain knows it's not, he was just making fun of stupid people.
