That's my recommendation. And I'm also really sick of seeing video after video of black Americans beating up non black citizens. I realize it's anecdotal and it doesn't give me a full picture of what's happening, but every d*** day I look on social media and there's some black person beating the s*** out of some white person. I'm kind of over it. I'm over it, so I quit

When black people move into certain white neighborhoods, many times they are harmed, okay, mocked. And sometimes they are even unalived because they are black. So I'm curious what world and reality that Scott Adams is living in where black people are attacking white people. Because the last time I checked, black on black crime doesn't affect his world at all. However, we do have video after video that shows black school children being harmed and being teased, picked on

That it's not an opportunity for me, or the criteria has shifted, or the end point or whatever the it is, is now tweaked so that I no longer am eligible or a candidate, or a beneficiary of, et cetera. And so that's where sometimes as I get well, not as I get as my son gets older and he has to exist in this world and I just want him to be alive and be safe, my stance is yes, please, let them say these things

It's very important for you to realize that it's human nature and you can't do much about it. And it's best to laugh it off as one of the funny things in life. I don't know whether your kid has white friends, but I lived in Singapore for seven years and I ended up making a lot of Chinese friends. And we are still friends, still date
These are difficult conversations that need to be had and otherwise this is all just boil over and things are just going to get worse. It's important to talk to your kids about this. Chand say that, well, yes, differences do exist and I don't know differences do exist. I don't know if your son has white friends or Asian friends. Maybe they're growing up together and the differences don't matter. But with strangers, when you have grown up, the differences do matter

As I said, I have a doctorate degree. And then I said, okay, well, let me when I was ready to purchase a home after divorcing his father, I have to show because it was all about other people and not really taking a look inward of what I really wanted and needed. It was let me find a neighborhood that says wealth and success and that's within my budget

Even if you did not do it, your position is not to defend yourself so that it lands as you resisting authority. Your position is to do what you need to do in that moment so that we can get you home alive. Breathe on that for a minute. That's a lot. He's a 13 year old boy. Yes, he might be 57 and £167, but at the end of the day, when you have a conversation with him, you understand

I'll push them in for you because you do not need to pick heavy things up in your condition. Hey. They would step out their door. You all right over there, CIS? You got anything in the trunk? Anything that news to be carried in that's heavy? No, I'm good. They'll be like, okay, just looking out for you

I totally agree. The more that people who are bigots or racists or whatever the term is, the more they have the freedom to open their mouths, the more that it shows their true colors, so to speak. So it is a good thing. It's a great thing that people are taking off their mask, saying how they really feel. And yeah, as I said before, people who feel a certain way, they are definitely free to go where their own is. It's perfectly fine
So, yeah, distrust, lack of familiarity, uncertainty. Like you said, your little kid goes out, your 13 year old kid goes out, and you worry that just because he's a large black kid, somebody might call the cops on him even if he's on the public street. So that's it. That's a lack of familiarity, distrust. And these are big problems. Even with the caste system in india. We don't have lack of familiarity because we are one race
So for this guy to say that he's just ignorant and he's no better than the race batters out there like a Lewis farrakhan and a reverend Jesse Jackson, Al sharpton, he's just as bad as them. But I would not have fired him. I would have just left it. But I guess in all actuality, though, perhaps it would hurt the company's image if they did not fire him because people would stop reading the paper wherever this character is

This world is going. The s***. People can't even state facts, history or anything without people getting offended. It's sad
But for some reason, people think that whether they're like a famous comic strip writer or not, that their position is impenetrable, that it's a lifetime appointment, that they can't get in trouble, and then they complain about it when they do. It's a really interesting thing to think about anyways. I don't know anybody could listen to that and not think that it was racist. We live in a very, very bizarre timeline

And so, moving forward, you can make what I would currently call per my choices. You would make better content consumption choices when it comes to these people. You are like, yep, mute, block, ignore, or whatever version of it that you could do on respective platforms. So, yes, I genuinely don't have any yes or no binary answers, but I had that. I have that silver lining
And so to some extent, you're just going to make this guy seem like an even more credible source of information amongst the people who view his politics as refreshing or correct or however you want to describe them. It's certainly a dangerous game to play because I myself don't want to give these sorts of people any more power than they already have

So I think the point I'm trying to make here with what I suggested as my silver lining is currently a lot of these people, when this happens to them and Scott Adams is going to do it too. You know it, I know it. He's going to start drifting now on the I got canceled business plan, right? He's going to go through this podcast sphere. You know exactly what podcasters I mean by this

To ignore those views, to dismiss them or to actively call for them to be canceled. Scott Adams comments in just about any context can be construed as racist. And as such, if a news organization wants to acknowledge that they don't endorse racism no matter who it's coming from, they're well within their rights as free speech and free press to remove Scott Adams and Dilbert from their selection. I personally had always thought that newspaper comics were a slowly dying breed
