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.

“What’s weird about that claim is just how much racist crap is posted on this site.”

To what claim are you referring?

Typical degree of liberal reading comprehension, equating two completely different concepts. (DEI vs. racial disparity in intelligence)

OTOH, when your argument is intellectually bankrupt, what are ya gonna do?

from made-up average IQ numbers to wrongfully correlating high SAT scores with high IQ.

People with substandard cognitive ability reject data illustrating their problem.

Hate article - I posted lotsa words to say the same thing. Wish I’d just posted that it was a hate article. I checked and it was a news article, not an opinion. According to Yahoo.

The justification of racism, slavery, and segregation by the Democratic party was based on the concept that Blacks were inferior. The origin of “White supremacy” in America. Essentially all institutions of racial oppression of blacks were originated by and maintained by Democrats (the political party formed by slave owners after the Revolutionary War). The Republican party opposed these policies. Furthermore:
- Almost all slave owners were DEMOCRATS.
- The DemocRAT party fought a civil war to preserve slavery.
- All of the Confederate soldiers and Generals were DemocRATS.
-All of the Confederate statues BLM had removed and destroyed were of DemocRATS.
- The Republican party fought the civil war to END slavery and succeeded in abolishing slavery.
- The Ku Klux Klan was part of the DemocRAT party and made up of DemocRATS.
- Segregation (Jim Crow laws) were imposed by the DemocRATS and opposed by Republicans.

“Appeared to”, in combination with “implied”.

Good God.

Quite the double standard here on FR sometimes. Tesla’s cars are exploding. SpaceX rockets have exploded or failed many times. Imagine what some people here would say about Elon Musk if he were black.
