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?
Its more misinformation
Because the article is real and author is named the same albeit the name could be a pseudonym
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
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.
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.
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. 🤷🏻♂️
