One day on one of my walking tours, an anglo man, was very angry with me, because I said something about Elon Musk. I explained to the guest how something Musk said was wrong, and I even explained to him how that man Musk is making my life dangerous here. I explained to this man, how Elon Musk emboldens the right wing. I told him how my life had even been threatened at the very intersection we were standing at, and he said “so what” he clearly did not care about what B.I.P.O.C. suffer. I could see racism did not affect him, so he could care less. He even left without paying and even wrote my company trying to get me fired. What also troubled me, was that man sounded Israeli. He had the same accent as many Israeli tourists I have had in the past. I would have thought he would be against any nazi or neo nazi movements, but I guess I was wrong.
History Is Not Even History
In Nazi Germany they passed out writings from another big rich car guy named Henry Ford, and they would show them to the kids in school and the kids would read them and say, “wow, if the successful businessman thinks this way about these people, then what our teachers are saying must be true.”
What Will Tomorrow Bring
I think about kids today, kids that do not read. Kids that watch videos and at times aren’t sure if what they are seeing is real. How will these kids respond to a man (possibly the world’s first trillionaire), putting these racist ideas in their heads today?
