Most likely Koreans, Japanese, Chinese and maybe some Hispanics and a handful of blacks, amirite?

Nope, very vew Asians in South Florida, and even less in public school. Black is the largest group followed by Hispanic.

“If nearly half of all Blacks are not okay with White people … that’s a hate group,” Adams said on his live-streaming YouTube show. “I don’t want to have anything to do with them. And I would say, 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 … because there is no fixing this.”

Suck it up pussyboy
 
After 30 years of financial sucess, some people might feel entitled to lots of prestige and accolades, a sense of entitlement. Then they might get sloppy and complacent, and feel they can just blurt out anything their mind thinks of without consequence.

He's 66 and worth $75M. He'll just continue to doodle for his caretakers and post them on his own website until he eats his gun or hangs himself in a closet some time in the next 10 years.

Adams is going nuts. There's no such thing as mass brainwashing, just stupid, ignorant people.

I think he's going nuts, too. Coincidentally it started when he swallowed the trump swill.

"The shift in Adams’s public image was initially intertwined with his praise for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election. Since then, he has identified himself with increasingly extremist viewpoints.

In 2019, he apologized to the victims of a mass shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California for a tweet in which he used the tragedy to advertise an app he created.

Adams also claimed in June 2020 that the “Dilbert” television show was canceled because he’s White, adding that it “was the third job I lost for being White.” He tweeted in January 2022 that he planned to “self-identify as a Black woman.” He has suggested Americans were brainwashed into supporting Ukraine, and praised anti-vaccine advocates last month.

]Last May, Adams used “Dilbert” to mock workplace diversity and transgender politics through a new character called Dave the Black Engineer."

Replace "white" with "idiot" or "offensively stupid" and I can see why he was let go.

You cannot understand. We have free speech, but we suffer the social consequences of what we say. There are limits to free speech too. He was not jailed for what he said. His tantrum was a display of hate and bigotry. He knew he was destroying his career. Why can't Reds understand that?
I was a fan of his cartoons for all 30 years. His slant on office politics strikes home regularly. I think he wanted an excuse to retire.

Agreed on free speech and consequences, as all rational people would agree. Disagreed that Adams knew he was destroying his career, since his actions appear to be irrational. What rational reason would he have for tanking his career? I submit there isn't one.

If he wanted to retire, all he had to do was say, "I retire. Have a nice day".

Maybe he wants to go out as a victim of the so-called woke to cement his former popularity.

Doubtful since he's going out as a white supremacist Trump supporter....Trump being another person whose star is fading.

FWIW, yes, it's okay to be white or any other skin tone, just like negroid is a legitimate term. That said, as JPP displays daily, it's the context in which terms and phrases are used that determine if it is being used honestly.

Example: The dimwits running around calling Obama a "negro" are dishonest because their intent is to antagonize, divide and demean.

Saying "it's okay to be white" in the context Adams was using it and his pattern of behavior indicate he's not only being dishonest, but also racist.

If he's disgusted by Democrats bending over backwards with "wokeness", there are better, smarter ways to handle it such as emphasizing tolerance, unity and the rights of all Americans to enjoy our nation. He didn't do that. He chose sides.

IMO, it's because his anchor chains no longer touch bottom.

He was, and still is, fucking hilarious. However I'm not in the least bit surprised that a leading member of the Wokerati like you wouldn't find him funny. He is also not wrong about many blacks who have a visceral hatred for white people.

John McWhorter says much the same thing, by the way. He also maintains that whites are terrified of being labelled racist, it's truly pathetic in my opinion.

In his new book, Woke Racism: How a New Religion Has Betrayed Black America, Professor John McWhorter argues that a neoracism, disguised as antiracism, is hurting Black communities in this country. According to McWhorter, this well-meaning yet pernicious form of antiracism has become, not a progressive ideology, but a religion.

In Woke Racism, McWhorter shows how this new religion's claims to “dismantle racist structures” actually infantilize Black Americans, set Black students up for failure, and pass policies that disproportionately damage Black communities. He shares scripts and encouragement with those trying to deprogram friends and family, and offers a roadmap to justice.

Q. How did you come up with the idea for this book?

A. I was alarmed and even angry to see how many people were being fired, suspended, and publicly shamed for transgressions of what we might call "woke" etiquette starting in the spring of 2020.

What McWhorter describes is what Robin DiAngelo calls white fragility. As soon as woke became a national movement in 2020, a very specific kind of white people went into a racist panic. In the clearest terms yet, they saw their white privilege challenged. They developed a massive attack to redefine what woke means.

Naturally, the only people they tricked were each other: Mostly racist MAGA morons. They have been brainwashed to believe that woke represents the death of the country. In fact, woke represents the country's salvation and rebirth. The only thing dying is white oppression.

I share Adam's and McGruder's desire to satirize, insult, and toss sarcasm along with irony on everyone with their comics. When you censor a comic for being an ass, or rude you have taken a big step towards destroying free speech and an open society.

This conversation has been had millions of times for years. Nothing happened to Trump's free speech when Twitter banned him. Nothing happened to Adam's free speech when WaPo fired him. There are consequences for being assholes. They can continue to say whatever they want to say.

His show was canceled because he was white? Was he white when they put it on?

Seems to be that he was saying that if blacks are going to be such cunts then whites should be smart enough to steer clear.

Bret and Heather today called that idea unamerican and offensive.

I have not made up my mind.

Yes, you did. You were opposed to the Woke Illuminati. Then FoKKKs said the opposite. Now your entire world is upside down and you don't know what to think.

I know what he said, I suspect more than a tad of rhetoric there. I would be more impressed if you ever called people like Guno out for his racism for statements like 'the future is bright not white'. But I bet if I said 'the future is white not shite', you'd be apoplectic with rage.

You poor little snowflake. You think "the future is bright, not white" is racist? I bet you think Black Lives Matter is racist too. :laugh:
