News Flash: The word "field" is racist

For one's mind to be a terrible thing to waste, one needs a mind. For the content of one's character to trump the color of one's skin, one needs character. Otherwise, it's down to "stupid and evil".

A few weeks ago, popular cartoonist Scott Adams (“Dilbert”) made the following highly controversial remark:

“I would say, based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to White people is to get the hell away from Black people. Just get the f*** away. Wherever you have to go, just get away. Because there’s no fixing this. This can’t be fixed.”

Adams was responding to a Rasmussen Report poll in which Blacks were asked whether it is “OK to be white." Fifty-three percent of respondents reportedly answered YES. On this basis, Adams inferred that around half of the respondents had disagreed, and that Blacks therefore comprise a “hate group”. This is far from unreasonable, given that even “non-hateful” Blacks are united with hateful Blacks in unbroken political solidarity, whereas Whites are routinely generalized as “White Supremacist domestic terrorists” for daring to make a peep about stratospheric African-American crime rates.

Note that had the question been differently worded - e.g., “Is White entitlement equal to Black entitlement?” or “Are White people innocent of oppressing Blacks?” - far more than half of the respondents would probably have answered NO (after all, slavery and all that). Note also that these days, mainstream polls are no more trustworthy than mainstream news outlets, which along with mainstream crime statistics persistently underreport Black crime and especially Black-on-White hate crime (I know this from long personal experience, having seen entire race riots full of Black-on-White violence omitted from mention in local print and broadcast media). Nevertheless, Adams was instantly “canceled” and his income reduced by 80 percent.

Unfortunately, Adams’ cancellation does nothing to answer the question, “Are Blacks a ‘hate group’, or aren’t they?”
