Scott Adams, creator of the thought-provoking cartoon series Dilbert, has caused a cultural bomb, by commenting on the logical implications of a Rasmussen poll. The question was: is it ok to be white? It was found that 72 percent agreed with the statement including a narrow majority of Blacks, 53 percent. As detailed below, the mainstream media did not see a problem with such a high percentage of Blacks not seeing whites as having right to exist, presumably. But Scott Adams saw this, and called it out. Bingo, mainstream papers across the globe are dropping his cartoon series. He must have expected that and decided to go out with a bang. Regardless, he has raised a point that has long been discussed in the Dissent Right.
“Voters are not buying into “woke” racial politics and anti-white attacks from liberals, according to a new survey on the simmering “it’s OK to be white” pushback.
In the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shared with Secrets, 72% agreed with the statement, “It’s OK to be white.” Even a majority of black people, 53%, agreed.
What’s more, when asked if voters agreed or disagreed with the statement, “Black people can be racist, too,” 79% agreed, including 66% of black people.
The survey appears to be a blow to the narrative in the liberal media and Hollywood that white people are the only racists and that being white is something people should be ashamed of.
The statement, “It’s OK to be white,” was first pushed on right-wing websites and then picked up in speeches by influencers. It has since been decried as a hate chant by the Anti-Defamation League.
In the last week, for example, Portland, Maine, has seen protests against a former city council candidate's OK sign.
The Rasmussen survey showed that most think nobody has the market on racism and that there is a lot more open-mindedness on the topic than the media would make you believe.
In the survey, for example, those who disagreed with both statements were a very small percentage. An equal 12% somewhat to strongly disagreed with both statements.
But the largest majorities agreed strongly. Asked about agreeing with the statement, “It’s OK to be white,” 58% strongly agreed.
When asked if “black people can be racist, too,” 53% strongly agreed.
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.'"
"Fewer Democrats (39%) than Republicans (67%) or the unaffiliated (53%) strongly agree that 'Black people can be racist, too.' Still, even among Democrats, only 19% disagree with that statement."”
“Dilbert creator Scott Adams turned heads with his commentary urging white people to stay away from black people after a recent Rasmussen Reports poll claimed nearly half of Black Americans don’t agree with the statement: “It’s okay to be white.”
“26 percent of blacks said no, it’s not okay to be white. 21 percent weren’t sure,” Adams said trying to wrap his head around the poll results during his podcast Wednesday. “Add them together that is 47 percent of black respondents were not willing to say it’s okay to be white.”
“If nearly half of all Blacks are not okay with white people—according to this poll, not according to me, according to this poll—that’s a hate group,” Adams reasoned, adding, “And I don’t want to have anything to do with them.””
