It’s not only an attractive attribute, being a racist is a prerequisite.

Once again, says the guy who supports colleges and universities filtering out students based on their race.

I used to argue that Trump may not be a racist but the racists certainly support him. I was wrong, he is one of them.

From your post we all know Joe was a racist. He really was. His actions and verbal spewage over the years have proved it.

That does nothing to dispute what I've said.

Some overcome it and others run with it.

Some overcome it, others run with it, and the rest forgive.

To forgive isn't to accept the wrong. To forgive one asks for forgiveness. Not going to happen.

Musk says he will bring back DOGE staffer who resigned after a report of racist postings

WASHINGTON (AP) — Elon Musk said on Friday he is re-hiring a staff member at the Department of Government Efficiency who resigned a day earlier after he was linked to social media posts that espoused racism.

Musk, in a post on his social media network X, said he would bring back Marko Elez after Vice President JD Vance called for him to be rehired. President Donald Trump later endorsed his vice president’s view.

Marko Elez resigned Thursday after The Wall Street Journal linked the 25-year-old DOGE staffer to a deleted social media account on X that posted last year, “I was racist before it was cool” and “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity,” among other posts.

The account in September included a post that said, “Normalize Indian hate.” The vice president’s wife, Usha Vance, is the daughter of Indian immigrants.

Vance, in a post on Musk-owned X, said Elez should be brought back and blamed “journalists who try to destroy people.”

Overt, public racism is not disqualifying to work for the federal government any more. The notion that "racists need not apply" no longer holds with respect to federal government employment.

trump has given the white supremacists making up his solid, unshakeable base of support another reason to rejoice.

And Putin smiles.

I believe the guy has apologized for the posts, only one of which was clearly over the line

Ah, but that's where you're wrong.

Sometimes forgiveness involves redemption.

But I guess with our "evolved" sensibilities these days, redemption doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Those who continue to do something are not redeemed just because you want to cover for them.

Bad move by Musk.

The right needs to avoid even the perception of racism.

There are plenty of racists on both sides.

There is a lot of racism in the ghetto.

And DEI is fundamentally racist by its very nature.

You can't have it both ways. Leftards have been playing both ends against the middle, and that isn't going to work anymore.

Yes DERBERGHOFF, sending the message that YOU and your LEFTIST friends, are incompetent, irrelevant, and immaterial. What, do we need to send you a BATSIGNAL that you are dumb as a box of rocks!?!?!?!

Maybe we do, but why should we warn you, lololol. Seeing all you LEFTISTS out in the wild looking this pathetic, makes us very, very, happy!

Normalize Indian hate? That racist Marko Elez also hates JD Vance's wife? lol.

Elon Musk announced he would bring back a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffer who resigned after being linked to racist online comments[1]. The staffer, Marko Elez, had been connected to a now-deleted social media account on X with posts that advocated racism[2].

Key Points:

• Resignation: Elez resigned after The Wall Street Journal reported his connection to a since-deleted X account featuring racist posts[1][2][6]. One post read, "I was racist before it was cool," and another said, "Normalize Indian hate"[1][6].
• Musk's poll: Musk posted a poll on X asking users if Elez should be brought back[1][2]. Of the 385,000 votes, 78% favored Elez's return[1][2].
• Support from Trump and Vance: Both Vice President JD Vance and President Trump voiced their support for rehiring Elez[1][6]. Vance stated that "stupid social media activity should [not] ruin a kid's life"[1]. Trump echoed Vance's sentiments[1][6].
• Musk's rationale: Musk wrote on X, "To err is human, to forgive divine,"[1] seemingly justifying his decision to rehire Elez.
• DOGE's mission: Elez was part of the DOGE team, which was formed to cut federal spending and reduce the government workforce[4].
• Concerns raised: Rep. Ro Khanna questioned whether Elez would apologize for saying "Normalize Indian hate"[1].
• Past activities: Before his resignation, Elez, along with another DOGE staffer, had gained access to the U.S. Treasury's payment system, which led to a court challenge and restrictions on their access[4][6].

Rehiring someone with a history of racist posts can lead to several potential consequences:

1. Damage to Reputation: The organization may face public backlash, harming its image and credibility, especially in an era of heightened social awareness about racism and discrimination[1][3].

2. Workplace Tensions: Employees may feel unsafe or alienated, leading to reduced morale and productivity. This could also increase the risk of workplace conflicts or resignations[1][7].

3. Legal Risks: Rehiring such an individual could expose the company to claims of fostering a discriminatory environment, potentially violating anti-discrimination laws[7].

4. Stakeholder Criticism: Clients, partners, or investors might distance themselves from the organization, perceiving it as complicit in tolerating racism[1][3].

5. Loss of Public Trust: The public may view the decision as prioritizing forgiveness over accountability, which could erode trust in leadership[3][6].

While some argue for second chances, these risks must be carefully weighed against the organization's values and responsibilities.

He called himself a House N***a....not with a hard r,

Oh I see...when you end the N-word with an A instead of an R it changes the entire meaning

Those who continue to do something are not redeemed just because you want to cover for them.

Not even covering for them.

But some people won't even allow for redemption. Seemingly such as yourself.

Yet another of Elon Musk’s young government sidekicks has been embroiled in controversy over his posts on X.

Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffer Gavin Kliger, 25, was caught reposting white supremacist Nick Fuentes and self-labeled misogynist Andrew Tate on X. He also expressed controversial views about immigrants in posts dating from October to January, Reuters first reported.
