    I said America is full of hatred towards Minorities with no comparison to another place. I am not wrong.

    But you are wrong. The US doesn’t hate its minorities in general. The US hates the poor in specific.

    • Gay billionaire
    • Black billionaire
    • Hispanic billionaire
    • Muslim billionaire
    • Female billionaire

    The same goes if you replace “billionaire” with “poor”. If you are rich, you are welcome. That’s your only qualifier. If you are poor, you are trash. That is your only qualifier.

      When I say America I mean the people of America. There are large numbers of folks, regardless of why they do, hate minorities.

      I didn’t say the wealthy “elite” weren’t the cause of a lot of the divide. They absolutely are. No such thing as an ethical billionaire.

      I’m not disagreeing with you on the fact that your financial status isn’t what really separates us. What I am saying is there is still too much hate towards minorities. That doesn’t change that the wealthy are a problem.

      You’re taking two separate ideas and merging them into one “truth.”

      They ate two separate topics. Just because the wealthy are guilty of the bad they are doing doesn’t take away the fact that there is too much hate towards minorities in America from the people that live here.

      I don’t think that’s entirely true and Thiel will learn that lesson sooner or later. Arguably already has as he was rumored to have been pissed about all the anti-trans rhetoric and throttled spending, which is why Elon had to step up and shell out.

      Now Musk is in the driver seat with a grudge he hasn’t paid back from PayPal and Thiel’s in danger of finding out after fucking around.
