Everyone should read Ryan's post, though I regret that he had to write it. It shows, quite starkly, how frenzied the obsession with @jdegoes has become that a black man, who deserves to be one of the most welcome people in Scala, has to defend supposedly-racist associations.https://twitter.com/Ryan_Signify/status/1267593008033087490 …

I don't think I have vastly different standards for videos, and I'm sure my own biases play a part in my interpretation, but "problematic" suggests the sort of videos that deserve flagging on YouTube. It was made to sound like an incitement to violence, but it wasn't even close.

My biggest problem now is that the video is gone, and nothing is said of it. We're to pretend like it didn't exist, and we can't factually discuss the contents of the video any longer. It's swept under the rug, seemingly only because "it made people upset for some reason".

After being pushed several times I think its time I speak up! I will not stay silent anymore & I will not let people try to bring me, my family or my company down because they have a personal vendetta against someone.
