Dear White people, Scott Adams said stay the hell away from Black people, agree ? 🤔

@LeopoldBloom [quote] Pointing to a lack of outrage at Lori Lightfoot's comments as "systemic racism" is equating something that makes you uncomfortable with actual racism.[/quote]

If society as a whole doesn't mind discrimination against white people, is that not actual racism?
And just to be clear, we are talking discrimination here. She's basically saying, I'm not going to give you the opportunity that other reports have because of your race.
This is similar to when Trump said a guy couldn't do this job because "he's a Mexican judge."

[quote] Right now in Florida, they are trying to ban any book that might mention slavery or any instance of past injustice that might make a white person feel "uncomfortable."[/quote]

The situation in Florida is different in that DeSantis is just trying to ban anything seen as left-wing. That's really what he means when he says "woke,"
I don't agree with banning books, but there is a difference between banning books because they talk about race, and banning reporters because of their race. Both are wrong, but only one is discriminating against a race of people. Black people can still write and publish books in Florida. It's just the subject matter that's off limits.

I also think there are white people siding with this simply because they're scared of the open anti-white racism in society. It's like Palestinians siding with Hamas because of Israel.

[quote]Despite your cartoon, there has been a mass exodus of college-educated, suburban white people from the GOP.[/quote]

Yes, but there's also a reason so many people sided with Trump in the first place. And even today, there are still apolitical people ending up on the Right. The GOP is such an absolute dumpster fire of horror that they should have no support, except maybe among rich people. But white people are scared of racism they see that never goes addressed except by Republicans who pretend to care.

@BohemianBoo How do you define "society as a whole?" I hear plenty of people complaining about white discrimination. Liberals think it's silly and conservatives think there's a liberal plot to replace white people with brown people. Don't confuse MSNBC and CNN with "society." Fox News has more viewers than either of them, and Tucker Carlson complains regularly about how oppressed white people are. Lightfoot is also being sued over her policy, so it's not like she's just getting away with it. What you're upset about is not hearing her excoriated by the sources you happen to follow.

[quote]Black people can still write and publish books in Florida. It's just the subject matter that's off limits.[/quote]

Do you even hear yourself? Great, a Black writer in Florida can write about anything except the experience of being Black in Florida. That would be like West Virginia banning [i]Hillbilly Elegy[/i]. You remind me of the "Christians" who say they love gay people, they just hate gay relationships. You can be gay as long as you don't have relationships with people of the same sex.

The GOP appeals to people because it plays on their fears. Recently, it was an invasion of brown people, now it's trans women competing in girls' sports and the risk of hearing something about a white person doing something bad 150 years ago.

@Carla Well said.

@Carla because he’s white makes him a racist? Or because he said what he believed? Or both? Just curious

@specman if what he believes about people is racist (and it obviously is), yes, that makes him a racist.
Did you listen to the video?

@FTP2024 doubtful!!

@TrashCat He's a spiritual wreck with no love for himself.
He is a miserable man..

@Zonuss yep. It's sad and he says he's a Christian.

@TrashCat He isn't .

@samueltyler2 I believe if everyone just stopped the finger pointing and take responsibility there would be progress.

@Zonuss from your lips. The US is splitting farther apart, more xenophobia and hatred every day.

@Handfull1 Agreed. And the truth is the same can be said of the other side. Both groups need to get their houses in order before pointing fingers.

@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy There is more truth in what you just said than people can fathom.
But the sad truth is that people will keep falling for the trick every single time.

@Zonuss just look at facebook........ sponsored ads one after the other tryin to get people riled up and pissed off........ doesnt matter your political affiliation or subject matter....... its all clickbait to generate cash. and people cant resist gettin pissed off and responding. no wonder i like to walk through the woods where i can get away from that shit. or on the beach. lifes too short to stay pissed off.

@Zonuss Name one thing I was wrong about.

@BohemianBoo Every time you say something it is wrong. 😂

@Zonuss Lies. Say sorry.

@DragonFruit Are you mixed ?

@DragonFruit Then I will only stay away from part of you. 😉

@Zonuss Yes, I am of predominantly European ancestry, but also African and Asian.

@OldMan70 I feel like he is angry at himself but he is blaming others for his own issues.

@AliceinWonderland yup, his career is virtually over now.

@AliceinWonderland It was around 1500 people. The pollster was Rasmussen, which is generally considered to have a right-wing bias, to the point that aggregator electoral-vote.com doesn't even use them when they tally polling averages to make predictions. FiveThirtyEight gives them a R +1.5 rating.

@samueltyler2 It's not about his money. It's about reputation and respect.

@BizSuitStacy Both. 😂

@Zonuss most likely

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP I believe that the less we brand others the less problems we will have.
Because there is no demographic that we cannot stereotype.
Which pretty much makes this all seem so irrelevant overall.

@Zonuss If people keep talking about it it will never go away.

@Justenjoyit If people keep teaching and harboring hate it will never go away. 🙂

@Zonuss I am taking about skin colour
