Our problem is niner billionaires?

Or is he referring to black people while being a giant dildo?

If so, I have a serious question? How many black people out there are billionaires? Seriously, of all billionaires in the world, how many are black? I mean, I'm sure there are some but I have never heard of them.

of all problems with billionaires, skin color seriously seriously is the least.

That's not even a sensible usage of "exception proves the rule". Not surprised a shithead uses language poorly.

What does he even mean by this?

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Devoid of all meaning except for being unmistakably racist. And not the mild, everyday kind either.

edit: there's already two sibling comments with almost opposite interpretations. Fuck that shit, I don't need to understand the finer (?) points to know that Yarvin & Thiel are horrible people who have way too much influence. And I bet half the time Yarvin doesn't even understand it himself, he just needs to keep the controversy boiling.

I'm pretty sure you won't get banned for using the hard R on Twitter anymore, so what is the actual point? I mean, even if you did, avoiding the actual word wouldn't trick anyone into thinking you mean anything but what you do.

~~A century ago~~ fuck! About a century and a quarter ago this was the sentiment regarding new-money industrialists by old money landlords.

Remove the racist layer and it's class conflict all the way down.

How can someone even think this makes sense lmao.

"You can probably name exceptions." Indeed, I can literally only name exceptions wtf

I think I know what happened here. Curtis decided to sing "fucking problem" by A$AP rocky at karaoke because he can say

I'm the n*gga, the n*gga n*gga ...

Like an edgy 15 year old. Then he heard A$AP rockies bar:

they say money make a n*gga act n*ggerish, at least a n*gga n*gga rich

Got mad at A$AP flexing on racist haters like him and then posted this.
