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.

@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!
