Nope. I don't believe this for one second.
They started dating in 2018. I was telling you *exactly* who this dude was since before 2016.
She saw what she wanted to see.
A lot of y'all did.
If we could see it from way over here, she could definitely see it from inside a relationship with him.

Elon was dog whistling his political views as early as 2014. So no, Grimes' "I didn't see it! He's changed!" is rejected.
If someone keeps saying "May the force be with you!" And "These aren't the droids you're looking for!" You know what they're reading and watching.
If they say "Live long and prosper!" and "To boldly go..." you know they're a fan of something else.
It was obvious what Elon was reading/listening to.
This is who he has been. He didn't change.

@mekkaokereke Perhaps her view was limited because of her feelings for him. I thought we always welcomed those who learned.
No, her view wasn't manipulated. She had full agency. She was liking nazi memes before they were dating. It's more likely that they started dating in part because of their shared love of "white culture."

And who is "we" in this forgiveness you speak of? And what makes you think she's learned anything? I forgive people that make amends. But white folk are often quick to forgive other fashy white folk on Black folks' behalf. No. I haven't seen her undo any harm.
@mekkaokereke I also learned a second lesson. Do not toss off a clip and expect to score points against you. You know your facts and are prepared to argue your points effectively. I am sorry and my mistake
@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.ioAll good!
There are people that were very racist earlier in their lives, either through just not knowing better, or by knowing better but choosing a wrong, hurtful path, that now genuinely regret their previous ways. They're truly remorseful, and want to make amends.
Those people, I forgive wholeheartedly! And I don't require them to list their previous sins! I'm not a priest and I can't grant absolution. But for folks that want to do better going forward, people are here to help.
