If there is a group as violent as blacks are - and they currently are in mumbers far too large to ignore - it is perfectly sane to stay away from such a hate group.


If you are at work, and your boss introduces you to your new co worker. And he happens to be black, so you tell yourself “I’m going to stay away from that guy because blacks commit crimes” then, you are racist. If you don’t care about being that—that’s fine. But let’s call a spade a spade.

This is literally the definition of racism. It’s bad if a black person says this about white people; it’s bad if a white person says this about black people.
It's bad if a black person uses violence against a white person. It's bad if a white person uses violence against a black person.

Only one of those is happening

which leads to the justification of what Scott Adams explains

and it obviously is not racist to describe the truth

So I ask you, doctor, do you live in a dangerous black neighborhood or did you also follow Scott's advice and get away from that?

No, Scott’s advice is to avoid black people. Not avoid poor, dangerous neighborhoods. That isn’t a minor distinction. I’m just going by the quote in the OP. Would you rather live in a poor trailer park surrounded by white people, or one of the nice neighborhoods in Montgomery County, PG County, etc where your neighbor is more likely to be black?

How did the two groups answer that poll?

Again, if you are going to use the black on white crime rate to justify why you should avoid ever interacting with black people as a general policy, then you are racist. Not sure why you don’t just own it. This is the PB, you won’t get kicked out for this.

No he won't. This is part of an act to demonstrate how destructive listening to mainstream media can be.

Notice how he tied in Rasmussen polls and Don Lemon comments about white neighborhoods.

He is being taken out of context.

Watch today's cast, the whole thing and more will be made clear. He is trying to make things better for blacks.

Here is today's cast.

I mean, if you don’t think this is true then move to the hood and save yourself a lot of money on housing costs.

I can appreciate that, but if he was expecting subtlety and nuance to go over in today's social media world, he's quickly learning just how wrong he was. He's being excoriated on twitter, et al right now. He's a public figure. I predict he walks the commnet back

Please explain.

I’m surprised he hasn’t been canceled completely for his awesome reparations calculation that has blacks paying whites.

I don't think so. This was no accident.

In today's cast he talked about the cancellations today and expects much more this week.

He flat out said his income will be halved.

He isn't doing anything anti-black but the only way you would know is to listen to the whole thing and not take it out of context like the media is doing.

Because almost 50% have a negative reaction to a white. Funny you failed to mention that part.

Even if what he said is racist. It's good advice.

Unless you’re a regular viewer/listener of Scott Adams, then it’s easy to miss his argumentation and reasoning style and “persuasion” techniques. For the average consumer of Pravda news, this could be a big challenge.

You are being a clown.

That one statement in a vacuum is not the proper way to live. We can agree on that. However, he was made his statements in response to a poll saying that 47% ish of black peoples said that it is NOT okay to be white.

Now let’s start over and honestly answer where the racism is.

Having said all of that, I cannot wait to retire. I want to get away from all people equally .

Did he say that the white race is superior to the black race? If he didn't then it's not "racism". People have forgotten what the word itself even means


You're confusing racism with white supremacists. I don't blame you since the media has distorted both terms over the years. A white supremacists thinks they are better than someone of another race just because they are white. A racist doesn't want anything to do with someone just because of the other person's race. Person A could hate person B based on race, but not think they are superior to them. Person C can be friends with person D even though though they think person D's race is inferior to person C's race.

saying Asians in general are much better at math is racist. It's also true.
