a Black adult advocate for Black concerns like Ida Bae Wells or Nicole, whatever she's going by? How can you be somebody working in that space and believe that corporations don't break the law because they would be afraid of getting caught? How can you possibly think that's a thing? There's nobody who's worked at a major corporation who's unaware that they break laws routinely and are completely a…

t maybe support a narrative that the argument was well you know forget your statistics. This is our lived life. Our actual experience is this fear, this problems. We see it everywhere. This is our existence. You can't deny our everyday existence with your data. It's not a bad argument. I'm using the same one. What if my data is wrong? It doesn't change the fact this is what I lived. And why would you diminish my lived experience?

All right. It's funny how many of my critics were overtly racist in their comments to me. And overtly racist I mean the reason that they thought I was lying was that I'm white. They didn't say that but it's obvious. That's pretty obvious that they thought I was lying because I'm white. How am I supposed to take that? And do you think they even knew it? That it was obvious that it was a racial comment. All right. And here's a Twitter user named Mecca who also accused me of lying, asked me to name the corporations which I did. Crocker National Bank and Pacific Bell. So he doubted I could name the corporations. And I'm trying to track down my actual bosses. So I remember one of the names of one of the bosses but I don't know how to find her. The other one I have a first name and I'm almost can remember the second name but both of them would be in their 70s. I don't know if they're even alive but I'll try to hunt them down. But my case is not really the situation. The real situation is whether it was widespread. And at the same time that I was talking about this people were commenting. I was just tweeting their experiences. And one of them was a job posting from the University of Florida I think. And the job posting says explicitly that is part of a cluster hire strategy for improving their diversity which means that if you're a white male they don't really want you. This says that. And that's today. And what happens when Black people read that? Do they say oh that looks perfectly illegal and honest? It's completely illegal. It's illegal and they're publishing it in public. Not only are companies not worried about discriminating against white males they're so not worried they can do it publicly and have been for 25 years. And somehow the Black critics who were giving me a hard time yesterday somehow they've never noticed that this discrimination is public and always has been. It's right in front of you. You can just go look at it.

All right. The other thing that I think made it hard for people to understand my point that I was discriminated against is I got this argument. Oh Scott are you telling me that if I were to check those two companies I wouldn't find any white men in charge? Are you telling me that there were no white men getting promoted in those two companies? Scott really? Really? So in the 80s and 90s you're telling me that these two big corporations they didn't have any white men in management? Right that's what you're telling me. No I'm not telling you that. I'm telling you that they were all white men. That's the whole point. Who do you think was screwing me? It wasn't Black people. Did you hear me? Did you hear me blaming any Black people for what happened? No. Every bit of it was a fucking white guy. Every bit of it. Now in the case of my direct boss it was a woman and I was told by a woman but it wasn't her decision. The decision came from a fucking racist white guy. If you think you can out-hate racist white guys, you think you could hate them more than I do? Good luck. Good luck. We're on the same side. Which is the weird thing, right? If Ida Bae Wells knew anything about me you know I'm on the same side. We have the same enemy. Racist ass-covering weak fucking idiot white men. They are my enemies because they're the ones who discriminated against me. It wasn't women. Not once. I don't believe I've ever been discriminated against I can remember by a woman. I can't think of one time I've ever been discriminated against by anybody Black, anybody brown. I can't think of one time. But white men, oh white men are the worst. Have you met any white men? They're awful discrimination-wise. And the reason they do it is it makes them look like heroes. I just saw some CEO valiantly white-knighting how hard he was going to work f

or whatever ESG goals. And I thought to myself that he can do that because he's already the CEO, right? Once you're the CEO yeah you can be really woke about the people who don't get to be CEO because you already got that job. And the next one's going to have to be Black because well you got that job. So you ruined everything. You ruined everything by being the CEO. If the CEO who is saying he wan…
