Earlier this week, multi-hyphenate billionaire Elon Musk endorsed a tweet suggesting Black students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have lower IQs and shouldn't become pilots.

 

Or design and build Boeing 737's.

Many majority black colleges have a reputation for cutting corners and bending the truth in an effort to produce impressive levels of graduation and academic achievement.

If an outsider should dare to question these methods, they are often labeled as ‘racist or elite’, and dismissed or ridiculed.

Blacks are not inherently superior nor inferior to other races. I have no problem with a black pilot or any race so long as he or she is in the cockpit due to skill and meritocracy. That is what Elon Musk was really saying. His words were twisted to make him a racist which he is not.

The problem with blacks in our nation is cultural and being put on the democrat plantation of welfare. Welfare has destroyed the black family and many white families also.

I am a retired pharmacist. I have worked with blacks, Hispanics, Asian, etc. Those pharmacists went to the same schools and were very competent. They as I had one common trait, we were all raised in stable middle class families with standards. The problem is not race. The problem is family culture.
