That appears to be written by or for Terry Davis, a programmer with schizophrenia who became somewhat of a meme. He died a few years ago. It’s possible he wrote it himself as he would post racist rants everywhere, including on HN.

I can’t tell from the page - is that part of the main repo?

Thanks, now when I checked it again I see a reference to TempleOS so that is for sure it. I wonder why they put this in the repo of 9front though. It's the main repo according to the release page. https://9front.org/releases/2023/11/22/0/

Edit: There are files with quotes from a bunch of other famous people from the OS community there too. Ken Thompson, Theo de Raadt etc.

I thought it might have been something that got slipped in, deleted, and now only exists as part of VC history. If it’s stored in the main repo and being packaged as part of the OS that’s not good… Terry was an interesting character but not exactly someone to idolize and that reflects poorly on the project, to say the least
