“I say, segregation today... segregation tomorrow... segregation forever.” — Former Alabama governor George Wallace (1963)
Recently, Scott Adams of Dilbert fame made a rant on his podcast. A “racist white boomer” rant, if you will.
So, if nearly half of all blacks are not okay with white people, according to this poll. Not according to me. According to this poll. Uh, that’s a hate group. That’s a hate group. And I don’t want to have anything to do with them. And I would say, you know, 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. Just get the fuck away. Wherever you have to go, just get away. Because there’s no fixing this. This can’t be fixed. Right? This can’t be fixed. You just have to escape.
So that’s what I did, I went to a neighbourhood where, you know, they have a very low black population, because unfortunately, you know, there’s a high correlation between the density, and this is according to Don Lemon, by the way. So here, I’m just quoting Don Lemon when he notes that the, when he lived in a mostly black neighbourhood, there are a bunch of problems that he didn’t see in white neighbourhoods. So even Don Lemon sees a big difference in your own quality of living, based on where he lives and who is there.
So I think it makes no sense whatsoever as a white citizen of America to try to help black citizens anymore. It doesn’t make sense. Because there’s no longer a rational impulse. And so I’m… I’m gonna, uh, I’m gonna back off from being helpful to black America, because it doesn’t seem like it pays off. Like I’ve been doing it all my life, and I’ve been… the only outcome is I get called a racist. That’s the only outcome. [cackles] It makes no sense to help black Americans if you’re white… it’s over. Don’t even think it’s worth trying. Totally not trying.

And, there we go. You didn’t expect that today, didn’t you? [laughs]

But those who don’t want to focus on education, you just need to get away from them. Just get as much distance as you can. That’s my recommendation. Um, and I’m also really sick of seeing video after video of black Americans beating up non-black citizens. You know, I realise that this is anecdotal, and you know, it doesn’t give a full picture of what’s happening. But every damn day, I look on social media, and there’s some black person beating the shit out of some white person. I’m kind of over it. I’m over it, alright? So I quit.
It’s hard not to see a link between white identity and American conservatism.
And did the straw break the camel’s back?
