I think Adams is in error. It is racist and hateful for a group of people to not be "ok" with people of a certain race, by definition.

It is an error for Adams to attribute such hatred and racism to an entire group simply because 47% of some sampling of that group are hateful racists.

According to a Rasmussen poll, only 53% of black Americans agree that it is "ok to be white."

That is pretty troubling.

Blacks represent less than 13% of the total population, or 30,147,000. That is a small number. 53% of 30,147,000 or 15,977,000 compared to whites, who represent 231,900,000.
If this isn't race-baiting, I don't know what is.

I was thinking of a 65-degree angle, and they adjusted the background.

Yes, her face has never been very organized. Sometimes it looks like someone put it together wrong at the last service.

Wow, what an accurate description of slappy malarkey, dog, p. anderson etc.!

I always suspected that most of their posts were more about mental masturbation than substance.

Yes. Perhaps Pablo Picasso had a try too.

If that's the case perhaps we could provide them with something like this.

Scott Adams is just a racist smart-aleck. I dunno if he copped an attitude with success, or if he was always stunted and shitful to the people in the world around him.

The point from my point above was that Adams has repeatedly noted that if you're vague and remove context, words become receptacles for the biases of the listener - they become what the 'hearer wants to hear' and not about 'what the say-er is saying." That's a powerful tool for self-help gurus and politicians - and more recently - newspaper journalists alike. Its marketing. In the various stories of his demise, has any actual context for his comments been provided, or is it just "here's a racist pinata, go wail on it"?

He's absolutely a smart-aleck. I have no real idea if he's particularly racist. I believe he makes good insights into how to manipulate crowds.

If a race represents a small enough percentage of the population, then it is "race-baiting" to do a poll asking "is it ok to be white?"

Is it racist to label a population as a “hate group”, based solely on their skin color?

A simple "Yes" or "No" will suffice.

Yes, if it were "soley."

That is not what Adams did. He based it on the way that skin color's group responded to a poll.

It is still "inaccurate" to label that group a "hate group." A hate group is a group with its very existence for the purpose of hate. It is a group where people join it for the purpose of participating in that hate.

If 47% of Americans were racist, that doesn't make Americans a "hate group."

It would, however, be very troubling. Interesting that few here have expressed any concern about it.

Is it racist to say “If nearly half of all Blacks are not okay with White people … that’s a hate group."?

Is it racist to say “If nearly half of all Blacks are not okay with White people … that’s a hate group."?

What percentage of Black people have suffered a negative interaction with a White (ha!) person?

Is it racist to say “If nearly half of all Blacks are not okay with White people … that’s a hate group."?

No. It is erroneous. The racist part is the nearly half of all Blacks (surveyed) that are not okay with white people. That is hate and racism, by definition.

What percentage of people have suffered an negative interaction with another person?
