So
It has come to our attention that hateful disinformation has been circulating on social media platforms regarding one of ProPublica’s employees, Emily Goldstein. Specifically, false claims have been made suggesting that she authored a 2015 article for Thought Catalog headlined “Yes, Diversity Is About Getting Rid of White People (And That's a Good Thing).”
Well hum here is the article and the Author named is the exact same
So, its not disinformation right?
Overall, we rate Thought Catalog a Moderate Pseudoscience website based on promoting astrology, miracles, and alternative health. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to publishing unproven information, poor sourcing, and a failed fact check.

Its amazing just how many sites and articles some use as valid sources that are just full of nonsense and can be easily checked to boot
As long as it fits a narrative
Apparently, their argument is that Thought Catalog allows people to put whatever name they want on the byline, so despite the same name, it wasn't ACTUALLY her ..
Dunno if I believe that or not, but that's what they claim. 🤷🏻♂️
I reserve judgement on the accuracy of the article until I actually read it, but if Musk doesn't like it, it's probably a good thing. 🤔🤷🏻♂️
@Heucuva8 no Musk likes it
He likes it cause it fits his narrative that white people are being targeted "the great replacement" theory he pushes
Thought Catalog a Moderate Pseudoscience website
And it does allow articles to be published with false names
So I read it. I see why Musk doesn't like it. That doesn't mean it's correct though.
Kinda reads like self-hate and disgust.
Sorta "White people had their turn to be on top, so now they should all just die."
Which is WAY too far.
Should there be a changing of the guard so to speak? Where we kick all the old White guys (and everyone else who's been there too long) out of power and start fresh with a mix of people from diverse backgrounds? Absolutely.
@Heucuva8 your missing the point Musk likes it he is actually saying racism against white people is happening here
Part of the great replacement theory that hes been pushing for years that article actually gives credit to that
@Heucuva8 the theory is believe that white people are systematically being replaced by nonwhite immigrants. Some in the U.S. fear that America might lose its culture and identity as a result.
Diversity is seen as part of that theory
And Musk pushes that theory around in many shapes in many countries not just US
This assumes that America's primary identity is straight, white, Christian and male. This is what's known as a "faulty premise".
You're right. It's just another face of "Jews will not replace us" where they replace Jews with "Woke" people.
There are really EVIL people in the world. And I don't know their racial composition, but I'm willing to bet it stems from privilege...making White people more likely to be in that group.
That's not "Racism against White people", just statistics and probability.
Does that mean we should never have a White Man in power of any kind ever again? No. That's dumb.
White people have good ideas, as do people of all backgrounds. We should focus on the quality of the person's ideas, rather than maintaining some racial (or other) quota.
Anti-Racism is supporting people with good ideas, regardless of Race, not about balancing imaginary scales of "Power through the Centuries" by pushing the White people down. Everyone should be lifted up instead.
@Heucuva8 imo the whole talking point is just bullshit really
Everyone has something to offer - some more than others - race shouldn't mater - it should always come down to who is qualified for what
See, we agree. If for whatever reason, the people in power HAPPEN to be all one group or another, so be it. But I'm pretty confident we'll find a pretty wide cross section of groups in such a government. 🤷🏻♂️
Its more misinformation
Because the article is real and author is named the same albeit the name could be a pseudonym
