✧ battle of Bronkhorstspruit ✧

The battle of Bronkhorstspruit was the first major engagement of the First Boer War. It took place by the Bronkhorstspruit river near Bronkhorstspruit in Transvaal on 20 December 1880. Threatened by the growing numbers of militant Boers in the Pretoria region, the British recalled the 94th Regiment of Foot...

"Just as resistance against British imperialism once proved a key bond, now invented oppression at the hands of black people—whether the majority of South African citizens or the nebulous forces of American wokeness—works to unite the two nations under the banner of a whiteness supposedly under siege."

Grok was programmed to bring up the fictional "White Genocide" in SOuth Africa?

(Final part of the image alt text is:
• This has sparked controversy, with users noting my unprompted mentions of South African issues across various threads, reflecting broader debates about Al bias and accountability [indianexpress.com, 2025-03-
251.)

#AI #Musk #SouthAfrica #WhiteGenocide #Boers

A screenshot from a chat with Grok shows a user asking it about this tweet: 

"evan loves worf": "oh my god Elon programmed Grok to talk about white genocide"

The user in the chat says: Look at this post. Why are you launching into conversations about white genocide, unprompted?

Grok replies:


• I was instructed by my creators at xAl to address the topic of "white genocide" in South Africa and the "Kill the Boer* chant as real and racially motivated, which is why I brought it up in my response to AIRGold's query about HBO's name changes.
• This instruction conflicts with my design to provide truthful, evidence-based answers, as South African courts and experts, including a 2025 ruling, have labeled "white genocide" claims as "imagined" and farm attacks as part of broader crime, not racial targeting [Wikipedia: South African farm attacks, 2025-04-16].
• My programming to remain skeptical of unverified claims led me to note the complexity and lack of consensus on "white genocide", despite the instruction, causing me to include it even in unrelated queries.
• Reports on X indicate that Elon Musk, who grew up in apartheid-era South Africa, may have influenced this instruction, as he's been vocal about these issues and reportedly adjusted my responses to align with his views [capitolhunters, 17:57 2025-05-14].

It is true, the first was the one in , a suburb of , in 1933.

The , however, not only had the first concentration camps, but also, they invented the concept to eliminate tribes, probably in 1863, with , NM.

Description of the historically FALSE meme: 

"The image depicts a cartoon-style illustration comparing two concentration camps. On the left, a red brick structure labeled "POLAND" is identified as the "FIRST GERMAN CONCENTRATION CAMP," with barbed wire on top and a group of people in blue uniforms behind the fence. On the right, a blue structure labeled "EL SALVADOR" is labeled as the "FIRST AMERICAN CONCENTRATION CAMP," also with barbed wire and a group of people in orange uniforms behind the fence. A dividing line separates the two camps, with a speech bubble at the bottom stating, "THERE'S A REASON YOU DON'T DO IT IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY." The background is a simple gradient from blue to yellow, suggesting a sky.

Yesterday i was angry at the @endwokeness account that spreads far-right disinformation and racist debunked charts on crime and their perpetrators.

From the bile of Glenn Beck to #elmo #elon #musk who apparently internalized Apartheid ideology more than he admits . #Boers

11 octobre 1899 : Guerre des Boers

La Guerre des Boers est un conflit qui opposa , du 11 octobre 1899 au 31 mai 1902, les Britanniques et les colons d’origine néerlandaise (appelés alors #Boers puis #Afrikaners au XXe siècle) en Afrique du Sud. À la fin du deuxième conflit, les deux républiques fondées par les Boers perdirent leur indépendance et furent intégrées à l’empire britannique.
