It seems that you're not very familiar with what actually happened. The phrase "It's okay to be white" had become associated with white supremacists, And black people's responses to the pole had nothing to do with their opinions of white people as a whole. You, as well as Scott Adams, decided to misinterpret it. Scott Adams took things a step further and decided that he wanted nothing to do with black people on the simple basis of this poll, which is absolutely wild.

- grosswait 8mo agoMy gosh talk about projecting your own feelings onto others.
- jmye 8mo ago> BLM on their open hatred of white people. I think my eyes just rolled out of my head. Firstly because you think “BLM” was a someone you can attribute an opinion to, and secondly, the mind-numbingly idiotic view you did ascribe to “them”. Turn off cable news and Twitter; it may help.
- serf 8mo ago>Firstly because you think “BLM” was a someone you can attribute an opinion to three people coined the phrase and made a lot of money on it through donations, interviews, grants, books, media, etc. Yes, BLM the movement and actions may be decentralized -- let's not pretend there weren't profiteering ringleaders at any given point[0], and they most definitely had vocal opinions.

- sapphicsnail 8mo agoNone of those articles mentions any of them saying they hate white people and they all link to a BLM wiki article that contradicts your claim that they were ringleaders if the movement.

- jmye 8mo ago> three people coined the phrase and made a lot of money on it through donations, interviews, grants, books, media, etc. And tons of people said it with no affiliation to those three people. What a ridiculous load of nonsense. Also, given the links you provided, I'm curious what, specifically, you think: "Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a decentralized political and social movement" means? Would you like for me to define "decentralized" to you? Is there some other part of that completely unambiguous sentence that I can help with? > let's not pretend there weren't profiteering ringleaders at any given point[0], and they most definitely had vocal opinions. Great, what does that have to do with anything I said? Y'all are so utterly boring and predictable. 'Someone, somewhere said something mean about white people, and I'm going to brainlessly attribute that to everyone I hate for not advocating for me, personally, enough!' is, paraphrasing your take, the lamest, most childish shit imaginable. Grow up.
- bjourne 8mo agoModern discourse is all about smearing groups and people you dislike. BLM hates whites, BDS Jews , Muslims Christians and so on

Why would you assume the commenter isn't "black" and doesn't already live or have relatives in South Chicago already?

- _ea1k 8mo agoI wonder who gets to decide when something is "associated" with something else in a way that makes any and all uses of that thing a cancelable offense. This mechanism sounds more dangerous than useful.
