Ah yes, the ADL -- the genocide denial [1] hate organization. The ADL has been denying the Armenian genocide since as recently as 2016. This organization has zero credibility, given their hate-spewing opines.

  What the ADL did was bigoted, truly disgustingly, and 100% on the wrong side of history. The subsequent PR black-eye was absolutely deserved. That said, they have since corrected course: https://www.adl.org/resources/blog/adl-armenian-genocide https://www.adl.org/resources/blog/adl-armenian-genocide https://www.adl.org/resources/press-release/adl-endorses-congressional-resolution-commemorating-armenian-genocide https://www.adl.org/resources/press-release/adl-endorses-con...

  If I understand your argument... You're saying Elon Musk is the acme of racial tolerance because the ADL once described a genocide which occurred 60-ish years before he was born as a "massacre" instead of a "genocide" ? Or are you saying that the "It's Okay to be White" campaign was not used by neo-nazis? https://www.newsweek.com/neo-nazi-david-duke-backed-meme-was-reported-tucker-carlson-without-context-714655 https://www.newsweek.com/neo-nazi-david-duke-backed-meme-was... Or are you saying that black people didn't notice? https://www.johnsoncitypress.com/news/update-county-democrats-chair-naacp-treasurer-respond-to-it-s-okay-to-be-white-fliers/article_f210efc2-b610-5973-975d-525f11b0e4e1.html https://www.johnsoncitypress.com/news/update-county-democrat...

'Originators assumed that “liberals” would react negatively to such fliers and condemn them or take them down, thus “proving” that liberals did not even think it was “okay" to be white.' ...and indeed, it proved exactly that.
