You mean, "he said the quiet middle-upper class white racist part out loud."

Because he certainly did. Especially with his "I moved where there are barely any black people" bit.

Classic white flight.

He, and white dudes like him, is why that poll is the way it is.

He is the problem.

Exactly

The racist part is understood, needs no mentioning. The liberal part is the part you seem to have a problem with.

You may have missed the part where I didn't attach a liberal or conservative ideology to the problem.

Because it's a white person problem.

This is an example of the systemic racism in this country.

Being liberal doesn't mean you're immune to be racist.

Think back to that woman in New York City who called the cops on a Black man who was just walking his own dog in Central Park. She said she was a liberal and voted democratic (and thus couldn't be racist). But clearly...she was.

And yet I believe her about how she voted, and how she felt about herself.

So, no, I don't have a problem with "the liberal part" being racist.

I agree. It's a problem.

However, despite how Scott Adams self-identified, he isn't a liberal. He's all in on MAGA country, and that precludes liberalism.

You dropped the word 'liberal' in your initial response.

Adams identifies as liberal yet you don't believe him, so that's on you. You said liberals can be racist, but you don't believe he's a liberal... He lives in California, and not in a poor white area. White conservatives are often middle/lower middle working class, or poor. Can't afford to move to mostly white areas. Best they can do is the trailer park a mile from the black neighborhoods. A lot live out in rural areas already, not a lot of black people there. If there's any white flight, it's Democrat voting white liberals getting out of blue areas like most cities, where many black people reside, and they're moving out to Texas or Colorado.

"White flight" itself is a lazy term to use in this context, and it was used to describe large amounts of white people moving from the urban areas to suburban areas post-WWII and to ascribe racism as the root cause of it is to not take into account the various reasons for people moving to suburbs, mainly the desire to move to less populous areas where crime is lower than in cities, concerns of tax burdens, wanting to move out of noisy, stinky apartments, some moved due to racism, I'm sure. It also applies to the work drying up in the rust belt and those who could move out of those areas, did, leaving behind many who couldn't afford to. We all know why the work dried up *cough* government *cough*
