    he is in a racist right wing bubble, so he’s probably getting a lot of feedback from that group agreeing with him

    he said all he sees is videos of black people beating up white people…no one gets bombarded with videos like that unless that’s all they search for and the algorithm then continues to feed them what they want

    The guy is a bigot. I am sure conservative media will embrace him.

    Scott Adams when he says he knows what it means to be black.

    He wants people to debate him or prove him wrong.

    Debate him on what? That black people in general are dangerous and white peoples shouldn’t be around them? It’s a sad commentary on not just him but the current culture of this should be a subject of debate.

    It bears repeating again. What Adams is arguing for is Apartheid and segregation.

    Apartheid and segregation were proven wrong decades ago.

    Yeah… basically prove he is wrong to want to move away from black people and not help them.

    Not sure why he thinks black people want help from white people but whatever.

    He has an extreme degree of privilege…. he is from the Boomer generation, he is a white man, has been wealthy and somewhat famous for many, many years…. I suspect has surrounded himself with people that echo his thoughts and is surrounded with media that only caters to his view point. Over time that has only warped him.

    Why are all these people dragging Adams? I agree with him. I stay away from black people...and white people...and Latin people...and Asian people...well mainly people.

    He lives in Concord, CA currently and went to UC Berkeley.
    You know that's the Bay Area right? He worked for Pacific Bell and I think he was held up at gunpoint a few times.
    I think his views are based heavily on his experiences in the Bay Area. It's way more segregated than Houston, and unlike what the clueless D&D thinks, there's a ton of guns there. Just go to Oakland.

    turns out he grew up and never left the Bay Area California. Worked in San Francisco, went to Berkeley, lives in Concord.

    I'm sure this all based on his experience living there.

    I had to give my son a disclaimer before I read out loud Enders Game. Told him I have read about 15 of his books when i was a kid now I have learned he is a POS. Memory of Earth or Homecoming series would make a great show along with a proper show of Enders Game SOD & Xenocide. To have it done right you will likely have to wait until Card passes though.

    Well…. at least one guy disagrees..
    That isn’t asking for help from white people.

    So affirmative action and reparations will have no contributions from white people?

    I went to Berkeley so yes I know quite a bit about the Bay Area. I don’t think it has percentage wise as much black population as Houston but it’s not segregated. Also the crime rate is higher in Houston than the Bay Area.

    A lot of people live in the Bay Area and don’t endorse segregation.

    Adams isn’t having a debate about reparations or helping blacks people through government aid. He is literally saying white people shouldn’t live around black people.
