He probably didn't see the black as oppressed, because he saw them as they were in their "natural" place. Which is to serve white people.
The entitlement of people like him is absolutely mental.
>in a strong regime that was able to help block anything that was against them.
Yeah no discrimination against him, not incorrect at all. He never saw oppression. The oppressor never sees oppression. They see insubordination and people as underneath them
I visited South Africa during apartheid. IIRC, at the time a manual laborer or house servant was typically paid about $30.
Per month.
Most white people had a cook, a maid, a gardener, and a nanny if they had children.
They weren't allowed to live in white areas, have white jobs, go to White schools, enter whites only beaches or parks, etc.
Hundreds of thousands of people were detained without trial, tens of thousands more were killed. But no, I'm sure he didn't see any impression.
A very good and dramatic movie of the time is Biko, about the life and death of an anti-apartheid activist, and the newspaper editor he convinced to change sides.
Is this the emerald mine co-owner that ended up fucking his stepdaughter admitting he had privilege blinders? I’m not surprised at how much of a piece of shit he can be.

Of course he didn't - the oppressors never do.
Worst case scenario, it'll only be a bad thing for the white minority, while the privileged majority will smugly proclaim that they see no oppression.

I mean, yeah, that's the point. You didn't allow black people to be anywhere near you.

They saw plenty of oppression, it just wasn’t from the perspective of being oppressed.

Both Errol and Elon are unfortunately very real. And a statement like that is totally on brand for any number of (white) people.

Turns out that the Musks either didn't have mirrors or that they are actual vampires. Currently leaning towards the vampires theory

No mirrors in the whole country.
