Dilbert comic strip dropped for comments on race, then Musk gets involved

[Saltwater60]

A poll was done where the portion of the respondents who were black anout half said it’s not ok to be white or they weren’t sure.
Here’s the quote from the article on the survey.
In the latest Rasmussen Reportssurvey shared with Secrets, 72% agreed with the statement, “It’s OK to be white.” Even a majority of black people, 53%, agreed.

The comic strip creator said that’s not ok and he was cancelled for it. I don’t agree with the we should get away from black people statement but it’s an interesting topic. Elon musk then gets in the mix saying the media is racist.

The fool also said he previously had opted to identify as Black in order to "help them out."
I sure hope we can survive without his comic wit, self-inclusion in our ranks and general goodwill. Fingers crossed!

But it’s ok for other to say it’s not ok to be white? How about when the top three lawmakers in VA identified as black and wore blackface? They are all still in office? Funny how you left that part out.
I’ll agree with you that wasn’t ok for him to say he is/was black and I had no clue he did that. I don’t follow him or his comics and this was on the morning news. Of course they were appalled by his comments but no commentary on the poll where 47% of people said it wasn’t ok or they weren’t sure if being a white person was acceptable.
Newsflash I was born white and I can’t change it just like you can’t change being born black(I’m assuming by your comments above). No one should be ashamed of how they were born of their heritage since they can’t change it.
This is what the politicians want is us fighting. I don’t care what color your skin is as long as you’re a descent human being. I met a black guy fishing in NC and I seriously want to return just to hang out with him. They guy was a blast and one of the nicest people I’ve ever met in my entire life. The people across the street from me are black they are nice and don’t bother me, they are welcome in my neighborhood. The democrat that lives next door is another story and has made comments in the past when blacks moved in our neighborhood. She’s white and I can’t stand her and she’s the only one on my street I dislike and won’t help.

It appears to be a moronic poll question. Who exactly was included in the poll? Do you have faith in what the pollsters are representing, or do you suspect they perhaps had troublemaking in mind from the start?

Adams finally had an opportunity to get a lot off his chest, and he did so. Good riddance.

Now imagine the reaction if a poll was put out asking if it’s ok to be black?

It’s a Rasmussen survey and they are well respected. Here is the sun up of the survey results of the 1,000 people.
In its analysis, Rasmussen said:

"Support for 'OK to be white' crosses political lines. Majorities of Democrats (51%), Republicans (73%), and those not affiliated with either major party (52%) strongly agree that 'It’s OK to be white.'"


In the latest Rasmussen Reportssurvey shared with Secrets, 72% agreed with the statement, “It’s OK to be white.” Even a majority of black people, 53%, agreed.

It's an idiotic poll from Rasmussen designed for 1 purpose. To stoke racial tensions. And it's working. Ridiculous.

Imagine the response if 53% of white people said it was okay to be black.

I have followed this little story a bit. I am more than fine with what Adams said. He, like all others, are entitled to their opinions.

This is what I find to be very funny...

The Anti-Defamation League called the phrase “It’s OK to be White” a “hate symbol”.

It is more than OK to be White. I love being White. I love the DNA that makes up who I am and I am honored that I share the same DNA as the great men and woman that came before me. I love the customs and the heritage and the history of my people. I am proud of what my people before gave to the World. I am proud of who and what I am.

If I was black, I am sure that I would feel the same way. All people should be OK and proud of who and what they are. Great things come from character of self and not skin color.

I agree with some of what Adams says and disagree with some of his words and statements.
