  • Is It Okay To Be White?

    Apparently barely a majority of Black people manage to agree with such a statement, with 47% either saying they disagree that it is okay to be white or can't make a decision as to whether it is okay to be White.

    https://twitter.com/Rasmussen_Poll/s...60192932237313
    "It's okay to be white."
    72% of Americans agree, 12% disagree
    69% of Democrats agree, 12% disagree

    "Black people can be racist, too"
    79% of Americans agree, 12% disagree
    71% of Democrats agree, 19% disagree



    BLACK AMERICANS ONLY:
    "It's okay to be white."
    53% agree, 26% disagree, 21% not sure

    "Black people can be racist, too" 7
    6% of agree, 27% disagree, 8% not sure.

    Scott Adams had a little 'rant' on the pure racism displayed in these results against white people last week and is in the process of being cancelled and dropped by various distributors and publishers.

    Not according to Scott Adams. Its OK to be White among Whites, but Blacks believe it is not OK according to Scott who believes they should stay away from whites.

      Anti Defamation League: "It's Okay To Be White"
      The phrase “It’s Okay To Be White” is a slogan popularized in late 2017 as a trolling campaign by members of the controversial discussion forum 4chan. The original idea behind the campaign was to choose an ostensibly innocuous and inoffensive slogan, put that slogan on fliers bereft of any other words or imagery, then place the fliers in public locations...

      Whether the original trollers were white supremacist or not, actual white supremacists quickly began to promote the campaign—often adding Internet links to white supremacist websites to the fliers or combining the phrase with white supremacist language or imagery. This was not a surprise, as white supremacists had themselves used the phrase in the past—including on fliers—long before the 4chan campaign originated.

      The original flier campaign occurred in late October 2017 and a similar campaign took place at the same time in 2018, but use of the phrase has extended far beyond the flier campaigns.


      What are black people supposed to answer when asked if they agree with a white supremacist phrase that sounds innocuous out of context?

      A similar question could be, "do you agree with the statement "All lives matter"?" Our of context, of course everyone would say they agree. But in context it's a phrase used by opponents of BLM, so the question could be interpreted as asking about BLM support.

          Sorry, but some people on 4chan do not white supremacists make, despite looney lefties like you who lap up anything they say.

          So can you agree that it is okay to be white?

            Did you not read the rest that white supremacist groups had made heavy use of the phrase since?

            So can you agree that it is okay to be white?
            I think it's fine to be white. I don't agree with the white supremacist groups who have appropriated the phrase "it's okay to be white" as a slogan.

            The people who decided to poll on a white supremacist slogan without acknowledging that it is one, need to be called out for their disgusting disingenuousness and deception.

              Slight mistake in that chart.
              "Black people can be racist, too" 7
              6% of agree, 27% disagree, 8% not sure."

              The original website says 76% agree, but if you do the math, 42% + 24% = 66%, not 76%. Add 12% + 15% + 8% to that and you get 101%, most likely a rounding error.

                      In this article:
                      • Scott Adams
                        American cartoonist and writer
                      Dilbert - Marcio Jose Sanchez/AP
                      An upcoming book by the creator of the Dilbert comics has been cancelled after he referred to black Americans as a “hate group”.

                      Scott Adams' self-help title Reframe Your Brain was dropped by Penguin Random House following the comments, which sparked criticism from US media outlets including the Washington Post.

                      His Dilbert comic strip - a chronicle of office life that was first published in 1989 - has also been dropped by major newspapers.

                      It comes after an episode of his YouTube show, Real Coffee with Scott Adams, in which the writer said: “If nearly half of all blacks are not OK with white people… that’s a hate group.

                      “I don’t want to have anything to do with them. 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… because there is no fixing this.”

                      His comments were made in response to a Rasmussen poll which found that 26pc of black respondents said they disagreed with the phrase “It’s OK to be white”, while 21pc said they did not know.

                      This phrase itself has been co-opted by some white supremacist provocateurs in an effort to spark anger among both right- and left-wing commentators and stoke the culture wars.

                      Writing later on Twitter, Mr Adams, who is white, said: "I've lost three careers to direct racism so far... All three were perpetrated by White people for their own gain.

                      "No black person has ever discriminated against me. That's partly why I identified as black for several years.

                      "White people in the media are also the main source of worsening race relations."


                      Reframe Your Brain is about changing the way one thinks about potentially harmful things such as drinking alcohol, according to its blurb on the publisher’s website.

                      It says: “Reframes don’t need to be true. They don’t even need to be logical. They only need to work." [/cite]

                        I guess that confirms for all that you're a white supremacist.

                        Was that your thought process with the post to see how many idiots you could get to amen it?

                          It was pretty bad.

                          Among his weirder claims was that he seemed to claim he'd moved to a white-only neighborhood as a result of the poll. Since the poll has only just come out and it seemed clear he hadn't moved recently, it seemed a rather obvious lie to justify a previously racist decision to move to such a neighborhood.

                          Another point where he told on himself was him admitting his social media was full of accounts of black people committing crimes. The algorithms, of course, base the feeds on what people click on, read, and subscribe to.

                              It's a bad poll. It's like asking if people agree we should "make America great again", of course a bunch of people are going to associate that phrase with the Trump campaign and its policies rather than read it divorced of all cultural context. Reacting to this poll's results as if "it's okay to be white" is a wholly innocuous phrase that exists in a vacuum rather than a troll campaign steeped in white supremacy manufactured on a notorious website is either exceedingly ignorant or exceedingly disingenuous. One would be safe in making the assumption that such people are merely looking for an excuse to justify their racism.
