Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams maligns Black people as “a racist hate group.”

Lemme get this straight: White people in power kidnapped, trafficked, raped, & enslaved Black people for 300 years, subjected Black people to Jim Crow for another 100 years, subjected Black people to mass incarceration & the war on drugs for another 60 years, paid $0 reparations ever—& Adams feels HE’S the victim?

Reminds me of that old saying—When you’ve had privilege your whole life, equality feels like oppression.

@QasimRashid when you've had privilege your whole life even the possibility of losing a little of it fills you with white hot rage, if you're Scott Adams. This is nowhere near equality, it's just him fearing that it might tend in a direction towards equality.
@QasimRashid white priviledge be doing that to you
@QasimRashid He's been a walking dumpster fire since 2011 when he decided to run his mouth about something about how rape should be legal because men have needs...
@Spijder @QasimRashid Scumbag. The entitlement of this strain of human being - "my insecurity and selfishness must take priority over the dignity of every other."

@QasimRashid

He lost his way.

I cannot find it now, but there was a strip where there was a black character in a meeting where the character said that he was black.

Worked fine in the Sunday edition of the comics.

It did not appear the same way on weekday printing.

@QasimRashid SO true, privilege is blind…
@QasimRashid I'm not sure he even knows what he is saying. Or maybe he knows it but just doesn't see the weight of it. He's just very sad, confused, and chaotic. What he's been saying on his video series is bad but I'm too puzzled and pitious to be offended by it. Like his logic is so disjointed. Apparently he got divorced in 2014 and has been unraveling since.
@QasimRashid dude could have faded into the background in the 90s and counted money the rest of his life but he has the white man’s disease where nobody can kiss his ass enough
@QasimRashid That, and he’s just an asshole.
@QasimRashid He’s a card carrying member

@QasimRashid Fuck, Qasim.

Damn it.

Just... Fuck.

@QasimRashid Well that’s the most charitable response possible

(glad to see you here)

@QasimRashid @DemocracyMattersALot conservatives will never pass up an opportunity to play the victim no matter the circumstances.
@QasimRashid I have relatives living in South Africa. Very well off after starting a car parts company decades ago. All their friends are white. All their relatives are white. All their servant are black. All the labourers in their company are black.
They call their workers, “those lazy black bastard”, and sincerely believe, they are well off because of their hard work and perseverance, and it has nothing to do with them living off the backs of their black workers.
@PDFlynn @QasimRashid Image is 404?
@evilmicrowizard I'm not sure why. I'm able to watch it.
@PDFlynn I think it might be some kind of local reference, which is why you can see it but others can't? This is what I see on your comment, and what happens when I tap on it. (That's after a forward when it tries to load... hang on, I will get that URL again and come back.)
@evilmicrowizard Hi, thanks for the heads up. You know what I think it might be is, it's being blocked because it's a racist rant. I mean, I should have known better than to post it because he's saying all this crazy racist shit. I thought folks might be curious to watch it, but really it's just as well. It fully deserves to be blocked.
@PDFlynn That makes a lot of sense - I'm guessing it probably originates from an instance that my instance has de-federated, which is why references to it are being reduced to "local" links. Thanks for the clarification!
@QasimRashid 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

@QasimRashid
To invert a common saying:

I've been up so long, it feels like down to me.

@QasimRashid @KingShawn He refuses to recognize “It’s OK to be white” as a dog whistle, I’m sure that the Blacks who say it isn’t OK recognize it for what it is.

And I’ve encountered his attitude among conservatives back in the 80s. They don’t care how hard life be for anyone, that if 1 person in that situation can succeed than failure is always the responsibility of that individual. They don’t care if someone has advantages, just work harder.

@QasimRashid Scott Adams' rant against equity was stunningly stupid.
@QasimRashid I'm definitely detecting a racist hate group there, but it's not the one that Mr Adams claims.

@QasimRashid he’s a Wealthy Troll.

our system of economics allows people to become so wealthy they lack any social responsibility, and they can flaunt their freedom of speech to show how little they care.

The consistency of his “argument” doesn’t matter. It’s intended as an expression of interpersonal violence. Call it macroaggression.

@QasimRashid they say these things because they can’t drop N bombs any more “in polite company”. They can’t burn crosses. They can’t send people to the back of the bus. But they still want to.
@QasimRashid Scott Adams = White Fragility
@QasimRashid He's been heading into gaga-land for a couple of years now.
@QasimRashid and of course he will go on to falsely claim freedom of speech being violated even though the government is not putting him in jail. It’s just some capitalist newspapers deciding they don’t want his stupid comic in their papers anymore.
@QasimRashid The trail of that saying about “equality feels like oppression” has been followed by Quote Investigator – it’s one of the most fascinating posts I’ve seen on the ever excellent QI. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2016/10/24/privilege/

@QasimRashid Ugh, I cancelled him years ago for his MRA bullshit so I had no idea he'd gone full white supremacist as well. Feel awful that I ever gave him money, even if it was 20 years ago now.
@QasimRashid His article on Fox News currently has over 11000 replies. Something tells me this isn’t over. Not by a long shot.

@QasimRashid This is just one of his weird sides. His most impressive achievement is the number of ways he manages to be an asshole.

He is a difficult art-versus-artist character, because I genuinely feel a lot of Dilbert was good.

@QasimRashid

Yes. Racists pretending they're the victims is as old as time.

@QasimRashid

Speaking of reparations. Did you know that Britain just finished paying reparations for slavery in 2015... to white people for the financial "pain" they felt when they weren't allowed to own humans anymore.

In 2015, Britain was still seeing the white slave owners as the victims and, like Adams, most probably still do.

@QasimRashid
That is the first time I am hearing this “when you have had privilege all your life…!”
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
That just explains everything that I see from white folks on the fringe right!!
@QasimRashid
You hit the nail on the head with a ten-pound hammer. I couldn't have put it better and hope that many people will read it and provide food for thought.
@QasimRashid his real name isn’t Scott, it’s Karen
