What he said, if you had the whole story in context, wasn’t wrong. I have no problem wanting to stay away from someone that doesn’t think it’s okay for me to be something they are not.

I know he was referring to a poll that showed about 26% of black people didn't agree with "it's ok to be white" but the problem is that he said "get away from black people" he sounded like he was saying black people in general as if black people in general are racist towards white people. He was sounding like whites should avoid black people solely based on their skin color. If he was referring to a certain group of black people he should've said he meant only black people who are racist and not like he meant black people in general. There are some white people who are racist, does that mean minorities should get away from white people in general just because if a small percentage of white who are racist? Unfortunately there are leftists with that attitude, you know that many leftists call for "people of color only" spaces at universities because they think being near white people automatically puts POCs in danger of racism as if whites in general are racist. Scott Adams is sounding like the right-wing equivalent of those "anti-racist" leftists who wanna get away from white people. We shouldn't make gross generalizations and avoid a whole group based on their skin color just because a small percentage of that group is racist. We shouldn't avoid black people and we shouldn't avoid white people, we should avoid racists. Much like MLK Jr. I believe in judging one by the content of their character, not their skin color.

For context he said to 'get the hell away from black people' in reference to a poll where apparently 50% of black people surveyed said either they weren't sure whether it was ok to be white or actively said it wasn't.

I'm a minority and I would have zero issues getting away from a group of people who felt that about my color and i'd happily inform everyone else with the same or similar colors.
I don't see why that suddenly becomes an issue when the person saying it is white.

Not racist, just logical

Alas, Scott Adams knowingly destroyed his own popular cartoon strip by daring to open his mouth and speak truth to leftist power. There are easier ways to slip into retirement . . . but few are more interesting to watch.
