Reflections From a Murky Pond

So, the world’s very first trillionaire is an African-American, and a self-made one at that. Approximately 31 years ago, Elon Musk borrowed $28,000 from his father and, with his brother, started a company. Now, he has an estimated net worth of US$1.27 trillion. And yes, Democrats do hate him. 😉

Oh, and also yes, Elon Musk is an African-American, specifically an African immigrant to America. In point of fact, he is far more African-American than 99%+ of the Blacks in America. He was born there, whereas the vast majority of Blacks have been in the US for 6 or more generations.

A real issue with those Blacks who identify as “African-American” is the punctuation involved. The hyphen is wrong and should be used. The grammatical/logical symbol that should be separating “African” from “American” is ↮ the symbol for contradiction or an XOR value choice. This is especially true because the etymological root of “contradiction” is the Latin contradico, “speak against.”

The sad fact of it is that they’re either Black/African or they’re American. At best, and that best is vanishingly rare, it’s a sliding scale between being part of their people or part ours. They can’t be both because Blacks – those acknowledged by their own people as being Black Enough and not an American, e.g., those derided as being Oreos and/or Uncle Toms/ Aunt Jemimas – hate America and her people. And, you can’t be a true member of a people and/or nation while holding it to be utterly evil, loathsome, and the existential enemy of “your people.”
