Civil Rights Groups Horrified at Elon Musk's Racist Outburst Against Black People
Futurism via Yahoo ^ | January 13th, 2024 | Victor Tangermann

Posted on 01/13/2024 7:28:58 PM PST by Mariner

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.

"It will take an airplane crashing and killing hundreds of people for them to change this crazy policy of DIE," he tweeted, intentionally mixing up the letters of the acronym for "diversity, equity, and inclusion."

Civil rights groups were understandably horrified at the billionaire's racist comments.

"The only thing anyone needs to hear from Musk about diversity in the workplace is an apology," Marc Morial, president and CEO of the National Urban League, told NBC News, calling his statements "abhorrent and pathetic."

In his tweets, Musk appeared to imply that HBCU students shouldn't be allowed to become pilots. However, neither his statement nor the tweet he was responding to stand up to virtually any degree of scrutiny, from made-up average IQ numbers to wrongfully correlating high SAT scores with high IQ.

Dunning-Kruger rules the world.

Humanity was much better when stupidity was self-limiting.

“Wow — Yahoo considers this piece a news article?”

Anybody who wants to pay can have their article published in the Yahoo news feed.

They simply don’t care about content outside of porn and the like.

Reality horrifies the pretenders. Imagine that.

And yes, DEI WILL result in catastrophic failure wherever it’s practiced. Guaranteed.

“Any political party or movement who holds on to the idea that only men from a handful of ethnicities are capable, deserves to be buried in the ash heap of history.”

True, but a strawman since Musk didn’t claim that. In fact that thinking is most closely associated with that of the Democratic party. The party of slavery, segregation and White supremacy.

I saw this firsthand when I was tutoring at my state College. Most of the black students I tutored there couldn’t do basic arithmetic or no basic English. It was horrifying to witness.

The author should twist what the tweet stated and what Musk’s comments were. This is a hate article.

Musk is an African-American, why are they treating him this way?

Which is why Clarence Thomas is against affirmative action. He wanted to raise the expectations.

Even chatgpt can’t argue the point. Airline pilot qualifications should be based on merit, skills, and safety standards. Diversity and inclusion efforts should focus on providing equal opportunities and addressing barriers, ensuring a fair and inclusive process without compromising safety.

That article was total Musk-hate. It was an hate-Musk opinion piece, touting itself as news. I’ve never read anything that totally hate oriented before, except TDS pieces. Article said something about X allowing swastikas. I assume Yahoo is extremely pro-RiotersNotProtesters, regarding antisemitic pro-Palestine rioters, who love swastikas.
