#1 What happened? Sounds he suffered a bad experience and is lashing out.

They don't come to North Ga. I have no plans to travel to the Amazon. They never write. They never call. We actually get along remarkably well.

The more important issue, possibly, is Scott Adams' right to an opinion.

#3 It was the results of a recent Rasmussen survey.
BLACK AMERICANS ONLY:
"It's okay to be white."
53% agree, 26% disagree, 21% not sure

The story being pushed is Scott Adams is suddenly a racist, not the disturbing poll results showing only about half of black Americans think being white is OK. (disclaimer: it's a survey with the usual unmentioned error bars and sampling issues)
Scott in his own words

The Most Violent Cities In The World

The continental United States racks up seven mentions in total. Other than New Orleans [#8], Baltimore (rank 17), Detroit (rank 23), Memphis (rank 25), Cleveland (rank 27), Milwaukee (rank 39) and Philadelphia (rank 46) make the list. [Remember, correlation is not causation. /sarc off]

San Juan in Puerto Rico can be found in rank 41.

#5 Must have an odd algorithm to rank Cleveland over Chicago.

#6 We should invite Scott Adams to post on Rantburg

Then there's the old thing about why did that, instead of why we didn't.

#8 With respect to the violent crime rates in Mexico, everyone should realize that Mexico has gun control laws stricter than any State in the USA.

It also has crime gangs that are probably bigger and stronger than almost any in the USA which is the reason for the violence.

#9 BLM etc.:
Black people need their own study hall, their own movie premiers, their own shopping centers and supermarkets. They don't need White people around causing systemic racism.

Adams:
Hey, maybe White people need to stay away from Black people.

Media:
Adams is a racist!
