Grimes calls herself a "human supremacist" in retaliation to being called a nazi
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Grimes has sparked another debate about white culture, racism, and Western ignorance.
"I'm called a Nazi because I happily am proud of white culture. But every day I think fondly of the brown king Cyrus the Great who invented the first ever empire, and the Japanese icon Murasaki Shikibu who wrote the first novel ever. What if humans just loved each other?," wrote Grimes who immediately came under fire.
In response to someone writing: "If somebody calls you a Nazi for admiring Mozart and Archimedes, that’s a dumbass. If someone gets worried about the phrase “white culture” that’s not necessarily unreasonable," she replied: "Tolkien lamented the damage nazis did to the melting pot that is "white culture" and as a European mutt, I firmly agree with him. My complaint is the western ignorance of everything else, such as kublai khans popularisation of paper money and mechanics."

Grimes replied to multiple people who had commented on her original post, some trying to pick holes in her argument, and others who were telling her to delete the post. In response to this, she said: "I don't care. My New Years resolution is to remind us that humans r sick and if u want to lie to urself and pretend that every race hasn't lead us all at one point or another ur self sabotaging. We belong together".
"All cultures participated in horrible things and the industrialisation of slavery is arguably the worst of all, and arguably the cause of decline of *all* empires before this one," she continued in a separate post. "That doesn't mean there are great humans among us in the past and now. What do u say abt the African slave trade of Slavs? It's racist to pretend whites have always been in power. All humans have contributed to our worst and best"
Many other X users made comparisons between her ex Elon Musk's ideals and her original post – "elon talking about illegal immigration and u white supremacy ijbol he redpilled u bad mama" – to which she replied in a response that seemed to come from a place of wanting equality."Everyone who wants to join in to contribute should be allowed. I am an immigrant to America, i hope I get to stay here, same as many others"
I'm a human suprematist - humans are amazing
