Not that your exactly guilty, but that comes close to the cringeworthy attitude of "haha, what a great troll! Those poor fools can't tell when he's being serious, so brilliant! Wait, wait, you touched my sacred cow? Well, now you're obviously toxic and I've discovered empathy."
What did he say that was racist?

"And 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 fuck 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 poll where a large amount of black americans gave bigoted responses about white people.
Do the Thumper thing. If you can't find something nice to say, then don't say anything at all.
No. Racism and bigotry must always be pro-actively confronted.

Silence is how fascism rises.
I think that's why Scott Adams spoke up.

There's a difference between speaking out against injustice when there is real risk involved, and speaking against a person because you don't like their views. Silence is appropriate in the latter case; or even better, express your own positive (in the logical sense) positions. Bloodless, priggish condemnation of individuals with fascist views makes fascism rise even faster than silence.
