Sucks that you had to be a Trump supporting racist, Mr. Scott Adams.

    Yeah that’s how I interpreted it too. However, even with that interpretation, it feels like they’re blaming the victim for their own subjugation.

    It’s akin to saying that black people stealing from Walmart gets in the way of eradicating racism, without addressing the reason why they have to steal in the first place. If they had money for groceries, they wouldn’t be stealing. Likewise, if that young woman had enough money to live a comfortable life, I highly doubt she would have spent two years of her life married to that crusty old man. Subjugated people do what they have to do to survive.

    We all word things the wrong way sometimes, and that’s okay. Everyone deserves a chance to clarify what they meant. In this case, however, it seems that pH3ra has only continued to double down on their original statement.
