So is Elon Musk and a credit to African Americans

Is there a particular area in Africa from whence these 'AA' individuals hail, or is Africa in general a good place to be born if one aspires to rocketry ?

What ??  Not actually born in Africa ?  

Then I fail to see either the accuracy or point of any conservative playing along with the divisive hyphenated-American meme.

Not trying to be confrontational, Moonman, but resistance to that particular absurdity could possibly start a ripple effect of language sanity.

Perhaps not likely, but possibly .. and if at least the possibility of it won't start with us, then where ?

While my ethnic mutt heritage is proudly Scots-Irish-English, I'm proudly American, period.

On that basis, neither melanin nor any other 'category' is determinative, only gratitude and loyalty.

And that's the point at which, logically & eventually, I believe our Founders were aiming.

Ok ..  /morning rant   ;-)

Elon Musk was born in South Africa. He's also white and a naturalized American citizen.

Gotcha. ;-)
