Musk was born and raised in South Africa. He’s more African than most blacks in the US.

Yup, solely to trigger the easily triggerable.

Woe...WOE!!! Careful.... Trump is a golden calf on FR. Don’t refer to him as anything but best of the best in all categories of man. ;)

Joke, Dig, Meme.

The verbal art of twisting the knife goes so unrecognized these days.

Because he’s an American of African ancestry?

It is good to see you get it. The first two posters did not.

Yes, we have too many idol worshippers on FR lately.

Uh, because he's an American, and he was born on the continent of Africa?

Well, Musk really is African-American.

Of course the leftists will predictably freak out over this.

That was one of the BEST trolls ever by any politician!

DeSantis is my President of the Free State of Florida!

There appear to be many Free Republic idol worshippers in both directions from what I see.

This shows the absurdity of the hyphenated descriptions regarding race. Though it seems that African-American is losing it’s popularity.

The secret is to do it with a smile and have it actually be funny. What he said was funny AND it made a deeper point for those who are intellectually capable.

“Yes, we have too many idol worshippers on FR lately.”

Trump was one of the greatest Presidents in history. Did he have flaws? So what? DeSantis has been a great governor so far, he hasn’t proven himself as president. I suspect he would be a good one, but it still a question mark.

I don’t get the trolling. We know Trump would be good for the country and suspect DeSantis will be also, why fight?

One could also refer to all Egyptian born Americans as African Americans.

Yep, and he’s doing it with a bit more style. DeSantis is looking better and better as time goes on.

John Kerry’s wife, Teresa Heinz, is another celebrity White-African.
She no longer appears to give any public statements, not even on ways to use white raisins.
