We
know that the left is always looking to silence those who do not follow
their groupthink. Their target isn’t only conservatives but anybody who
disagrees with their worldview even in the slightest possible way.
They
left lives in the hope that contrarians to their groupthink will either misspeak
or express a nuanced and detailed idea that can be extracted, stripped of context, and made to
appear bigoted.
Yesterday
it was satirist and thinker Scott Adams's turn to be punished.
USA
Today announced that it would stop publishing Adams's "Dilbert" cartoon
because they ‘lead with inclusion and strive to maintain a respectful and
equitable environment for the diverse communities we serve nationwide’

Cleveland’s
Plain Dealer newspaper also decided
not to publish any of Adam’s cartoons.
John
Hiner of MLive
Media in Michigan wrote in an editorial, “we will work quickly to find a
replacement that will entertain you and not violate basic standards of decency
and respect for others.”
Many other outlets followed and did away with Adams.
Adams
has been producing Dilbert for three decades and they are seen as a devastatingly
satirical commentary on workplace policies.
What did
Scott Adams do such that he merited cancellation?
Adams
become a nationwide trending topic after he that black people are "a hate group
and I don't want to have anything to do with them"
"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"
"Wherever
you have to go, just get away. Because there's no fixing this. This can’t be
fixed, right. This can't be fixed. You just have to escape"
He
went on to say that he took his own advice and moved to an area with a
"very low black population."
Adams also said that he was going to stop helping black America because it doesn't seem
to pay off.
He
added that videos of black people beating white people had convinced him that
whites should not help black people or live in communities with a large
percentage of black people.
"It
helps no sense to help black Americans if you're white"
The
clip of Adam’s comments garnered
more than 1.8 million views on Twitter.

For
the left this was a dream come true, they had all the reasons to cancel Adams
and silence another powerful contrarian.
The usual suspects in the media were outraged.
The Daily
Kos carried a piece with the 1963 quote
from former Alabama governor George Wallace, “I say, segregation
today… segregation tomorrow… segregation forever.” What they do not
reveal is Wallace was a Democrat.
The
Daily Beast’s headline called Adams “unhinged” and yes,
they began their piece by linking Adams to Trump.
Expert the bigger media houses to follow and remind all that Adams supported Trump.
So
what caused Adams to engage in “unhinged” behavior?
You
can judge by proceeding to 13:25 of the following video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6TnAn7qV1s&t=1248s
Adams
was referring to a Rasmussen Survey that revealed only 53 percent of Black
Americans believe "it's okay to be white", 26% think “"it isn’t
okay to be white" while 21% remain undecided
https://twitter.com/Rasmussen_Poll/status/1628460192932237313
The
results are nothing short of shocking, only 53 percent of those surveyed think
that Caucasians should be allowed to exist.
The
rest think otherwise, 26% think Caucasians should not exist while 21% remain
undecided on a matter that should be obvious to all.
This
is the definition of bigotry, i.e. when you think that another group should not
exist owing to differences.
This
is what the Nazis and other genocidal despots think.
What is also amazing is that this 26% didn’t mind expressing their racist or perhaps even genocidal views in public. Let's also be clear that this isn’t a matter that requires deep thinking. You are either believe in equality or you do not. If the 21% is undecided about equality, you there is no grey area, you are a bigot.
Clearly, 47% percent have been heavily influenced by the media coverage and amplification of race-related issues.
When 29-year-old Tyre Nichols died at the hands of five Black Memphis police officers the media called it a race-based crime.
When failed actor Jussie Smollet staged a race attack on himself claiming the culprits were Trump supporters, the media treated his words as the gods truth.
When a filmmaker didn't get nominated for the Oscars, she called it racist.
Clearly hateful groups such as Black Lives Matter is also have an impact.
The result is a section among the black population probably think all their progress in life is halted becaused of white people. The concluding is getting rid of White people will resolved their problem. Hence they develop genocidal thoughts.
Back to Scott Adams.
What Adams was saying is that he would stay away from those and not help those who are so hateful that they think he sould not exist because of his race.
Adams wasn't making a statement, he was reacting to a poll.
We could ask the question if one poll is enough to pass such a broad judgment?
Let’s
ignore the race and just assume there are people who hate your existence because for known or unknown reasons.
Would
you like to be around such people or help them?
The
answer is obvious.
One thing we must be sure of is Adams is no fool.
He
knows the polarized climate we are living in and knows the consequences of such
claims. He knows the nuance will be lost and he will be made to look like a
racist. He knows it could make him vulnerable to physical attacks.
Yet
he did it.
Adams is known to perform sociological experiments.
Perhaps he was hoping to get knee-jerk reactions so he could make a larger point eventually.
We
shall know very soon.
