In right this moment’s episode of Simply Checking To See If Elon Musk Is Nonetheless Racist…Yep, He’s Nonetheless Racist, the South African migrant who spent President Donald Trump’s first day in workplace turning the Nazi salute right into a MAGA development has, for the second yr in a row, decried range on the Oscars.
On Sunday, Musk reposted a tweet from a fellow white-and-eternally-whiny fanboy who was being fragile over the Academy of Movement Image Arts and Sciences’ range coverage relating to Greatest Image nominees.
“That is tousled,” Musk captioned his put up. “Ought to simply be who’s finest, not finest with an asterisk!”
Oh nah, Musky, that asterisk has all the time been there.
You see, Musk, like tens of millions of white folks throughout the Western world, believes the rationale white actors and filmmakers have all the time dominated the Oscars is because of benefit, ignoring the truth that white folks have all the time dominated the academy as a result of no racial demographic has ever been extra catered to than white folks.
It’s the identical false logic they use when claiming DEI is racist towards white folks whereas ignoring the truth that range initiatives have been solely ever needed within the first place as a result of, for the overwhelming majority of America’s historical past, white males have been hiring white males and solely white males in each single main trade. That’s not “benefit,” it’s the lasting impact of patriarchy and white supremacy.
Equally, Musky Musk and his Nazi Bunch are pretending to consider an academy stuffed with white individuals who view artwork by way of a culturally white lens are more likely to all the time discover the best nominees for Greatest Image — versus the nominees white persons are probably to consider are the most effective nominees for Greatest Image. White individuals who relate extra intently to white folks persistently choosing predominately white movies for Greatest Image shouldn’t be an instance of “benefit.”
Artwork is subjective. White privilege is a demonstrable reality.
Thoughts you, slightly below a yr in the past, Musk was on X calling the Oscars a “woke contest” as a result of he thought too many non-white folks have been successful. When it was identified to him that white actors and administrators dominated all the foremost awards, which they’ve virtually each single yr because the inception of the Academy, he instantly backpedaled and admitted that he was “improper.”
That’s proper, of us, Musk was educated on the truth that the Greatest Image, Greatest Actor/Actress and Greatest Director classes, amongst others, have been overwhelmingly dominated by white folks in 2024, and the Woke Boogieman that haunts his nightmares retreated again below his mattress and allowed him to relaxation relaxed. All was proper in his white world as soon as once more.
So, you already know, perhaps Musk and his fellow fragile, diversity-hating white males are simply plain bigots, and the “woke” Oscars is simply one other excuse for them to let their bigotry shine.
Unhappy.
