‘DILBERT’S’ SCOTT ADAMS: ‘WHITE PEOPLE SHOULD GET THE HELL AWAY FROM BLACK

a variety of issues, including racism and segregation, in the latest installment
of his “Real Coffee” video series, posted Wednesday, Feb. 22, on YouTube. (Gary
Reyes/ Bay Area News Group archives)
By Martha Ross | mross@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: February 23, 2023 at 3:19 p.m. | UPDATED: February 23, 2023 at 9:22
p.m.

Pro-Trump “Dilbert” creator Scott Adams, who has previously claimed he’s been a
victim of racism in Hollywood and corporate America, went on a racist diatribe
this week, labeling Black people as a “hate group” and saying that White people
should “get the hell away” from them.

During his Real Coffee with Scott Adams online video program Wednesday, the
controversial East Bay cartoonist offered up his latest provocation. He cited a
recent poll that he said shows that “nearly half of all Blacks are not OK with
White people.” If so, Adams said, “That’s a hate group.”

Adams cited a Rasmussen survey of 1,000 American adults that dealt with the
phrase, “It’s OK to be White.” The Anti-Defamation League has deemed the phrase
a hate slogan that started as a trolling campaign by members of the
controversial forum 4chan.

Among other things, the Rasmussen poll found that 72% of the 1,000 American
adults surveyed agreed with the statement, and that even a majority of Black
people — 53% —  did as well. The poll also found that 79% of respondents agreed
with the statement, “Black people can be racist, too,” including 66% of Black
people.



Adams focused on other data from the poll. He said it revealed that 26% of Black
respondents said it’s “not OK to be White” and 21% said “they weren’t sure.”
With a degree of amazement, Adams said: “That’s 47% of Blacks not willing to say
it’s OK to be White. That’s like a real poll. This just happened.”

Adams said that the poll demonstrated that there is “no fixing” current racial
tensions in America, which is why White people should live in largely segregated
neighborhoods.

“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,” the 65-year-old author
exclaimed. “Just get the (expletive) away. Wherever you have to go, just get
away. Because there’s no fixing this. This can’t be fixed.”

Adams said he had already self-segregated by moving to an area “with a very low
Black population.” It’s not clear if he was referring to the Tri-Valley town of
Pleasanton, where he was known to be living in 2020.

After Adams said that this is the “first political poll that ever changed my
activities,” he sarcastically claimed he’s always tried to help the Black
community because it brings positive social benefits.



“I’ve been identifying as Black for a while because I like to be on the winning
team,” Adams continued. “And I like to help. I always thought if you help the
Black community, that’s sort of the biggest lever, you could find, the biggest
benefit.”

“But it turns out that nearly half of that team doesn’t think I’m okay to be
White,” Adams said.

Given the poll results, Adams said he’s now “going to re-identify as White,”
arguing that he doesn’t “want to be a member of a hate group,” which he claimed
he had “accidentally joined” with his supposed Black identification.

Adams also said, “I’m going to back off from being helpful to Black Americas
because it doesn’t seem like it pays off. … The only outcome is that I get
called a racist.”

Adams continued by suggesting that Black people don’t value education as much as
other groups and by claiming he’s “sick” of seeing “video after video” of Black
people beating up on non-White people. He also stated: “We should be friendly.
I’m not saying we should start a war or do anything bad. I’m just saying, get
away.”

Adams concluded his comments by laughingly saying, “And there we go. You didn’t
expect that today, did you?’’

Over the years, Adams has appeared to embrace increasingly radical positions,
the Daily Beast said. He first compared former President Donald Trump to Jesus
in 2015 and continued to voice his support for the former president through his
2016 campaign and his controversial presidency. On Twitter and in his online
program, Adams also has flirted with favorite topics of the far-right culture
wars, the Daily Beast said.

In the wake of the George Floyd protests in 2020, Adams claimed that he was the
victim of racism, saying that he had lost multiple jobs due to his skin color.

“I lost my TV show for being white when UPN decided it would focus on an
African-American audience,” the Pleasanton resident posted on Twitter on June
28. “That was the third job I lost for being white. The other two in corporate
America. (They told me directly.)”

Last year, Adams introduced a Black character for the first time in his strip’s
33-year history, the Daily Beast said. However, it appeared that the character
only existed to allow Adams to poke fun at  “woke” culture and the LGBTQ
community. The character’s plotline revolved around his identifying as White,
only for management to ask if he could also identify as gay.

This story has been updated to include some more of Adams’ comments.
