"Racism" is the last resort of a defeated demagogue - a political agitator who appeals with crude oratory to the prejudice and passions of the mob.

Does that mean the North Africans, whom you call Mediterranean are also not Africans?

What I am getting at is you seem to equate African with Black people, but you call non-Black people who are from Africa by different names. Very confusing the way you split up people from Africa.

they don’t want rational, logical debate illuminating their racism, hypocrisy, double standards, untested academic theories, insanity, and failed policies

Obama's VP was/is a RINO. Just look.

Looks like a couple of NYTimes reporters spent thousands of dollars traveling to South Africa to dig up dirt on Elon Musk in order to damage him and his reputation but left empty handed.

Wouldn't Joe Biden (or any politician his age) be tainted by growing up in THIS country before the major civil rights movement?

I couldn't care less what Elon Musk does... but I sure as hell care what Uncle Joe does.

Continent of birth = Africa
Father's continent of birth = Africa
Mother's birth country = Canada
Elon's birth nation = South Africa
Naturalized citizenship nation = America

Popular term for a person with ancestry linked to Africa and born or naturalized in America = African American.

It's really not difficult to comprehend. Unless you have some sort of agenda that prevents you from grasping basic facts. Just like calling a violent riot a peaceful protest, doesn't magically changed the dynamics of the event.

I'm sure the Libyans, Tunisians, Egyptians and Moroccans will be surprised to learn this new fact.
