Mark Zuckerberg blasts Trump for ‘incendiary rhetoric’ in response to scientists' ‘misinformation’ complaint
Fox News ^ | June 12 2020 | Dom Calicchio

In a letter appearing online Thursday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan write that President Trump’s “divisive and incendiary rhetoric” has left them “deeply shaken and disgusted” in a volatile time that they say requires “unity” in the U.S.

Writing under the letterhead of their Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, which focuses on technology solutions to social problems, the couple were responding to last week’s call by more than 270 scientists that Facebook address what the scientists described as “misinformation” appearing on social media.

A copy of the Chan-Zuckerberg letter was posted on Twitter by Recode journalist Teddy Schleifer.

What, did Trump ask Zuckerberg to kneel to him? That would be incendiary.

Is Zukerberg training American Blacks to replace the imported H-1B workers? If not, why not?

What percentage of Facebook’s senior management is Black?

What percentage of Facebook’s workforce is Black?

What percentage of Facebook’s employees aware US citizens?

Priscilla Chan (born February 24, 1985), also known as Priscilla Chan Zuckerberg.... She and her husband Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder and CEO of Facebook, Inc., established the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative in December 2015, with a pledge to transfer 99 percent of their Facebook shares, then valued at $45 billion. She is a graduate of Harvard University and received her medical degree from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).

On February 24, 1985, Chan was born in Braintree, Massachusetts, and grew up in Quincy, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. Her parents were Chinese refugees who fled Vietnam* in refugee boats. She grew up speaking Cantonese and served as an interpreter for her grandparents. She has two younger sisters.
[* The date her parents fled is omitted- when did this happen? We are supposed to assume it was at the time of the Vietnamese boat people, but was it? Or was it during a conflict between Vietnam and China? Are her parents still alive? Has anyone ever met them? Were they ever members of the communist party? What were they doing in Vietnam? Were they poor, were they merchants, or were they officials of some sort?]

Did Priscilla ever drive for Dianne Feinstein? ;-)

A lot of the Vietnamese “boat people” were ethnic Chinese who lived in Vietnam who fled the Vietnamese communists after they took over South Vietnam.

Zuckerberg and his wife are alien life forms, who if I had me way, would be stripped of their assets and teleported to CHAZ to live out the remainder of their natural life.

Bill Gates has produced things that individuals,and companies,have found quite useful.Windows,Excel,Word and PowerPoint being a few.The same is true of Steve Jobs.

Mark Zuckerberg developed Facebook a totally frivolous,worthless and juvenile product.

I'll listen to Gates...and Jobs...when they talk about computers.I'll listen to Zuckerberg...well,never!

Thanks, we know that, but ethnic Chinese living in Vietnam [sometimes for generations] that ended up fleeing Vietnam during the boat people era were thought of as being from Vietnam, not thought of as if they were from China or citizens of China though they have some ancestors who were. It just seems weird the way Wiki wrote that, though maybe it’s because the cultural identity of ethnic groups in Vietnam predated the idea of modern nationhood’s political citizenship and persisted because they formed ethic enclaves rather than melting pots. At what point do people with ancestors who lived in China generations ago become Vietnamese if living there generation after generation- and if never, then when does wikipedia consider them American if they haven’t lived here generation after generation as in Vietnam?

It was the media’s mischaracterization of Trump’s tweet - and played over and over. THAT is what “lit the match” of “public sentiment” regarding what Trump sad.
