'Mother of God'! Gee, why on earth would Vox try to memory-hole this white-hot take on African people? [pic]

We missed this from over the weekend, but more than 48-hours later, this take from Vox’s Ezra Klein is still piping-hot:

File this one under: “What Could Possibly Go Wrong?”

The tweet has disappeared, but we grabbed the screenshot so you could get the full effect.

Well, that’s certainly possible. A more likely explanation is that Vox is a haven for benevolent racists.

Terrible? Yes. Inevitable? Also yes.

We Need Fewer Africans is the Vox take I never expected but should have https://t.co/6UDFD18odS

You really should have.

Well this is uncomfortably racist.

Do better.

Funny when rich white guys decide the REAL problem is too many brown people

GP GP No way this devolves into a new eugenics movement. Nope. Never gonna happen. Never has happened. Nope. Not once. Not in America. #Wilson https://t.co/A5otNCP8tQ
