1. Poll says black people are not ok with with white people
2. Which makes them racist
3. Get away from racists
Turning this 180 degrees around is insanity.
And he had zero self-awareness to understand why some black people would feel that way and responded in a stupid, bigoted, illogical way.
He assigned this viewpoint to all black people and used it as justification for segregation.
That's still racist, because he's seeking out information that 'proves' his racism (and using a poll of 130 respondents as proof is insane).
I feel like this thread on Scott Adams is exposing how many people on HN are just overtly racist. You can enjoy his content before he went off the rails fine, but seeing some of the takes here feels like a bunch of people are one step away from arguing that segregation should come back.
So let's criticize the Rasmussen Reports then
> how many people on HN are just overtly racist
Like most people actually are... https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-40124781
Regardless. Funny how quickly people of kindest hearts, tops of the virtue pyramid are to cancel someone for single misinterpreted wild sentence.
So now we’ve moved the goalposts to “most people are actually racist so it’s okay to perpetuate segregation and other remnants of racial slavery in America.”
Enlightenment is a fight against our tribal instincts. But some folks think we should return to warring tribes rather than striving for something better.
It’s funny how people with bigoted views can’t handle being canceled. Scott Adams literally predicted he would be “canceled” as he proceeded to say the things on his mind that he knew would cause controversy.
He was okay with saying things that hurt the reputation of others but he was ultimately not okay with hurting his own reputation once he self-inflicted his wound.
