Context is everything. Selective statements out of context are the weapons of the extremists with agendas.
It is the same as all the conspiracy merchants claiming Bill Gates wanted to get rid of 3 billion people. He never said it, but someone with an agenda did, and the claim stuck to him.
Social media today, is the greatest system to destroy reputations and truth.

—————

Newspapers across the US have dropped the comic strip Dilbert in response to racist comments made by its creator, Scott Adams.

Adams’ comments were in response to a poll that found 26% of Black people disagree with the phrase, “It’s OK to be white,” which prompted Adams to say,
“If nearly half of all Blacks are not OK with white people ... that’s a hate group. And I don’t want anything to do with them,” Adams said Wednesday. “And based on how things are going, the best advice I could 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. ’Cause there’s no fixing this. This can’t be fixed.”

Appears opinions made without getting the facts.

Perhaps he just didn't care anymore, time to retire. Perhaps he didn't care if anyone liked the way he did it.

I doubt if many people canceled their newspaper subscription because the paper continued to carry Dilbert.

Can you be more specific? I went to dilbert.com and couldn't find any way to sign up for a daily email.

Scott Adams has FU money to the tune of $75M. In two of his corporate jobs he was told he was held back due to being a white male. He then created Dilbert and became wealthy from that. He has been critical of "wokeism" and was recently identifying as black up until this incident. He had been planning on getting canceled and finally succeeded. He can be found on the Locals platform.

So true. I am appalled what people believe just because they saw it on YouTube or FB. Polls and studies produce the results favorable to the people who pay for them.

Surveillance video of an incident that occurred on Feb. 10 shows a number of black students at Kenwood Elementary School in Springfield, Ohio, physically attacking white students and reportedly forcing them to say “black lives matter.”

They have taught hate at every level, beginning with the very young. There are many in that group I stand shoulder to shoulder with but I'm very cautious. I'm not sure why we have to be forced together anyway. We have different likes & dislikes. Why not let us live with those we feel most comfortable with? Shouldn't that be a basic freedom, for any group?

Can I get an Amen??

First of all Black people say they want equallity, but it seems they go out of there way to seperate themselves from any other race! Can you imagine if we had "All White TV" to oppose there BET Channel! Can you imagine if we all walked around with "White lives matter T-Shirts on" To me all lives matter. Now it might sound to you like I am racist,but the fact is I am not. I am just tired of the poor me syndrome because way way back they were enslaved by our late late ancestors. I am truly sorry for that,but that has nothing to do with any of us living individuals right now. Dilbert had the guts to say what a heck of a lot of us are not saying! I have some real good friends who are black,but they don't walk around with a chip on there shoulder and don't sing rap songs about killing cops. Plus if they were pulled over for anything they would obey commands and not try to run or resist. Man I could go on and on but I think I have gotten my point out.

And newspaper journalists have the right to edit their content if they have issues with the writer's bias.

A whole lot of posts in this thread would be the first exhibit refuting the notion, when someone says "America isn't a racist country."

It's not like being a racist is even against the law, as long as someone doesn't have power/authority over another and uses their racism/bigotry. And one thing is for sure, the vast majority of power and authority are held by white people in this country, so it's not hard to figure out the rest.

Particularly interesting, is that so many posting were actually alive and recall seeing the separate white/colored signs over restrooms/water fountains/Etc., yet still like to say how much better it was -"in the good old days."

Thank goodness polls show that younger generations are a lot less racist/bigoted/prejudiced than many of those posting here...and the problem will eventually get better.
