This ignores the history of "its okay to be white" which stems from racist on 4chan, which as usual boomers dont know anything about whats going on, on the internet. What percentage of those that said no, didnt say no because they want a white genocide, but are aware of that term and its racist origins, then are responding to the quote emotionally more than some general logic of the question. This is the problem once again with media. Mainstream or not. This whole conversation completely reframes what scott adams viral clip was even about. It was about a shitty poll behind a paywall from a bias group, using a loaded question, and scott rambling on about what hes done for black people, how hes done with blacks, and since we all apparently hate white people because of some random online poll, his prescription is for white america to stay the f away from us.

As Scott suggested, this decision was made-- not on the notion that, 'I Hate Black People.' It was made on the observation that Black people seem to hate me. I mean, let's face it... we find ourselves emersed in this top to bottom Woke cultural where-- Blacks are repeatedly told that white racists (and they're all racist from birth) are the cause of all their problems. And, from what I can see... plenty of Blacks have received that message, loud and clear. Worse, we find ourselves in a political landscape were Black crime is seen as excusable (jumping turnstiles, doing drugs in the open, robbing Walgreens). Shit, there are serious calls to defund the police in these areas, altogether. Well, you dont have to be Einstein to put two and two together. If Blacks can commit crime with impunity and they have this increasing animosity for whites... how long is it going to be until they feel emboldened enough to assault me on my morning walk to the train station? I dont need that shit! The beauty of America is it's size and the fact that we have mobility. If the issue of 'safety' suddenly becomes questionable in my near future... I'm getting the fuck out.

And it offers a one size fits all, sweet palatable excuse that easy to swallow and equally addictive, that for every problem, every issue a bkack person has, for everything they lack, its someone else's fault.

I moved to Newark NJ 17 years ago and live there for 5 years. I was the only white person on my block in the townhouse complex and loved living there.

We openly talked about race and i explained to them that white trailer parks are the scariest places i ever was not the projects. I would not live their today and i would try and talk my kids out of it today. Not because i don't like black people, but i would be afraid that i would be a target today.

Scott Adams is right. I lived over 30 years in a diverse downtown core of a mid-sized city, of 200k+. My son, 52, is half black, and when he bought his first house, it was in that neighborhood. (his dad, my ex, is 100% black, and hasn't lived near a black community for decades) Almost 15 years ago, I started to notice an undercurrent of hostility from blacks, not completely overt, but still noticeable. When a white, 80+ year old neighbor was killed in her bed, by a 14 year old black kid, that was it. I owned a secondary rural home, on acreage, in a county that is 98% white, which I moved to when I retired, and sold my house in the city. My son and his wife (who is white) stayed in the old neighborhood for another 10 years, until my son (who is 6'2" and about 220 pounds) was confronted by 6 black teenagers with a gun, in front of his home. (he wasn't injured) After that, they bought another house, about 45 minutes from the city, in a white, small town (one traffic light), in a county that's 92% white, and sold their house in the city. (he now commutes to work) My son has not experienced one instance of racism in the years they've lived in the new place, but he did in the city, from blacks. The crime in both of the areas we now live, is practically nonexistent, compared to the city. My son and dil still can't get over how quiet and clean their neighborhood is, and how helpful and nice the neighbors are. We have discussed the fact that if either of our areas were to turn black, as highly unlikely as that would be, we would sell and move, because none of us want to live anywhere near any black's, ever again.

The point that Scott Adams made was that lots of unequal treatment is being provided to a section of society that does not seem to be making a difference. The more that is given, the more demands that are made. I don't think that the current trans debate would have gained the traction that it has, for example, if they had not seen how weak society had been with previous demands.

Hilarious, because I know for a fact that black self preservation was a MAJOR concern for at least the first 372 yrs of blacks coexistence with whites in the United States. From 1619 to about 1991 it was super dangerous for blacks to be caught on the wrong side of white neighborhood's. I'm 60 and in about 1987 I got bloodied up pretty good getting caught on the borderline of Boston's Italian "North End". Hell, there are white neighborhood's in Boston I still get the creeps going through, even though liberal whites gentrified 85% of working class whites out of their historic Boston neighborhoods. It's really only since 2007/8 where ethnic tribal neighborhoods have become safe for others to move in and around. So blacks have been nervous of whites for 372 years Whites have been nervous around blacks from 1968-2007 about 39 years. And trust, whites are all over Oakland, Harlem and numerous other formerly all black neighborhoods. They are not scared of black people...just annoyed by them. Even these African American thugs in Chicago and Phili, who are killing each other, don't have racial hostility toward whites.

Unfortunately in today's hyper sensitive political climate, many caucasians fear backlash for attempting to maintain community standards.

I haven't been back to my old neighborhood in years. First of all, I have no reason to go back there. But if by some chance I did, I would do so with trepidation. Mostly because of the higher rates of crime. Regardless of who are committing the crimes, I don't want to put myself or my loved ones in that environment. And if the crime rates increased to concerning levels where I currently live, I would certainly consider moving. In short, I don't want to live around criminals of any race. Who would?!

Or two parents who have no idea on family planning and how to raise children. There are negative consequences based on statistics based on not having a father in the home in all races. However, in the African American community, single parent homes are the majority compared to other communities in the United States. Black children with this negative foundation usually grow up with certain emotional, mental, and or psychological issues. Like low self esteem, anger issues, immaturity, drugs, peer pressure, theft, gangs etc. Now this is like 70% of the African American community that there in these family situations. So you can imagine all the problems this presents. Black families from Nigeria, Ghana, Haiti, Jamaica, and other black immigrant communities don't have similar problems as the African American community does. Many black immigrant communities have to two parents in the home. Education is highly important and the children are sent to private schools. Those private schools are high on good education and discipline, on top of the discipline that the kids are already receiving at home. Those children of black immigrants go on to become middle or upper class. They also listened to rap music and grew up in Hip Hop culture, but those kids had a solid base.

Freed slaves because they would work for pennies ! It's sorta like when ppl cross the picket line when people are striking lol its a no no lol so freed blacks worked for pennies and the Irish, German and other whites families was starving , then come the industries and blacks all immigrated into those too and worked for cheap !

why did they completely ignore the poll that Scott reacted to? Is John an honest man?

Scott Adams aside, you nailed it when you asked, rhetorically, whether your children should have to pay the price as a white person living in a low income black community. For 5 years my wife and I lived in such a community, and being white, were a racial minority in our neighborhood. The day we moved in our next door neighbor came to the door with a fresh baked pie and a list of all the neighbors names and phone numbers. I've never felt so welcomed, and through block parties and the like, we came to know and befriend nearly all of our neighbors. But we had very young children, and as they got to be 5 and 6 years old, the reality of sending them to public school for 12 years was a bleak prospect; meaning violence and very bad scholastic statistics in the local school district. We scraped our money together and moved to a barely affordable and richer city with excellent schools, but a very homogenous white and Asian population. I felt like I betrayed my old neighbors when we moved, and it was embarrassing to tell them where we were moving to, but for my kids sake, I would make the same decision again in an instant. It's one thing to take on risks as an adult, but another thing when your kid has a credible chance of being beat up, stabbed, shot at, or having to watch those things happen to others at school. Those risks were real, gentlemen, not fantasy. You get to choose you own comfort and security zone for yourself, but you pick a higher standard for your kids if you can. It's just the way it is.

@@Aphrodite_ErosLuvChild214-80 Good question, and I can't explain it well. My wife and I were the only white family in this neighborhood. We bought there because it was all we could afford at the time, and because it wasn't located at the heart of the urban center but rather at one of the edges. All the families around us were lower middle class like us, but we had good white collar jobs with prospects of more money in future, and that wasn't true of many of our neighbors. So when the decision time came, we could afford to take a risk and move out, while they couldn't. They had to stay and send their kids to the horrible public schools, which was the reason we were leaving. This other community we moved into had a reputation for being rich and snooty, and was populated almost entirely by white people. My black neighbors and friends had embraced us when we moved in, and then 5 years later we moved to this rich all-white city and, I could see in their faces, they were thinking "maybe we misjudged there two." Or, maybe they didn't think that at all. Maybe it's just me. In any case, it made me feel guilty somehow, and that's the truth, even if I don't really understand why. Had there been good, affordable private schools where we were living we would have stayed, and we would have done so because of these wonderful neighbors, and the fact that they welcomed us into their culture with open arms. The rich white community we moved to had wonderful schools, but the culture was closed off, and we didn't make many friends there, as if pretty common for such cities,. Crazy

People need to feel relaxed, happy. When you are all the time threatened, you don't want to live there. Why should you pay the price? Parents of the bad neighborhoods should be made accountable. Why protect criminals?

Been there, not in the US, but in a community where I (as a pale skinned and as an employed person) was in very much a minority. I was certainly made aware that I was different, and I was targeted. By some I was targeted to receive friendship and kindness, thanks folks. Even then there were reminders that I wasn't _entirely_ worthy. The man I took sailing on the lake informed me that, due to his ancestral connections, he would never buy a licence to fish on the lake. It was his heritage, but not mine. It would have felt churlish to point out that my forebears, not his, formed that hydro lake and imported the trout to stock it with. Others targeted me with death threats (for declining gang "requests") and repeated burglaries. Some, I believed, felt a moral duty to clean me out. Those I bear no personal ill will. They were doing what their broken sub-culture told them was the right thing. Fortunately I'm not a cultural relativist, so I can blame that fail-culture, a chimera of the worst of its constituent parts. Ultimately, yes, I did move out and it was to somewhere where 96% look like me. I didn't choose the place for that reason (I'd bought property there years before), but I'll admit it felt good not to be constantly on the defensive, not to expend any energy contemplating the sociology of it all, and to be able to travel overseas for months without locking my house.

First: Scott was speaking to Whites, not Blacks. Subsequently, what Blacks think about what Scott said is irrelevant. Second: Scott wasn't talking about decent, hard working, law abiding Blacks, which is to say, Black conservatives. Third: I've heard Black commentators say the same thing, but in a different way. Paraphrasing: if they go to a majority White event, venue, space, they feel fine. They don't feel as if their life is in danger. However, when they see too many Blacks showing up to the same place they leave. Why? Because they know what's going to happen. Something, for whatever reason, is going to kick off and they know that the brawl or the gun violence is not just around the corner. Sorry, but that is both the perception and reality of what a large segment of the Black community has left the rest of society with and that just doesn't apply to Whites. It applies to Asians, Hispanics, Arabs, Indians... everyone. All of us are sick and tired of Black bullshit.

Thank you so much for acknowledging sometimes taking your children out of that situation so as not to have them with the wrong mindset. Thats exactly what I had to do. My son was the only white child in an all black middle school. He was bullied and beaten DAILY. I saw the marks and bruises. They made it VERY clear it was due to his skin color. The principal did nothing. The worst was his teacher. She was just cruel. She had him in front of the class reading aloud, and it was from Tom Sawyer. When he stopped and stated that his mom ( me ) told him NEVER to say "that" word, she still forced him, and he read it with tears streaming down his little face. She grinned like a sadistic bitch the whole time. I was told about this by some of the neighborhood children who were in his class. When you try to teach your child black people aren't this or that, but ALL he sees are black people doing that very thing, well....... I eventually pulled him out of there, but I was damned if I was going to have my kid turn into something I was NOT raising him to be!

I remember a Juvenile Court judge in Akron, Ohio years ago stepped down from the bench because 80% of the kids he was incarcerating were black. Akron had a 15% black population. He wanted to find out why? I wonder if he ever did? I don't understand the culture, but I have been a victim of it.

And no, it isn't racist to site this fact. If we could all be honest about this reality, it might be a starting point for a discussion instead of painting the perpetrators of these crimes as victims.

Very interesting. As an US expat in South Africa for almost a decade, I see this same dynamic here, even more so because the wealth gap is so much larger, and whites are in the minority, and it's hard to get a job even if you are qualified. Also I'll note that I hardly ever hear black South Africans talking emigration, but I hear that from white South Africans all the time. Again, not without good reason. In the end, unless you are willing to die for some pie in the sky ideal, people are going to do what makes their families lives better.

Glenn and John are correct in that she's expecting too much from the affluent in asking them to remain among the poor and accept the disorder. That leads to the question, "What _is_ the solution?" The solution is (aside from the racial segregation) what we did _before_ the mid/late 1960s: We _imposed_ order and decent behavior upon the poor -- on the streets and in the schools. That made it reasonable for affluent people to live and raise their families among the poor. You combine 1. having the affluent around to serve as good examples with 2. punishing people for not following those examples. You ensure that the people who visibly behave better are seen as better off for it, and that people are not allowed to feel that they benefit from rejecting those good examples.

Wokism is a luxury belief. Allowable only because of widespread American abundance and wealth. Modern American abundance and decadence allows for a type of pathologic navel gazing. Wokism is a type of collapse of seriousness that is only possible in country that is so wealthy and technologically advanced that we can afford to engage in a type of self-destructive Heaven's Gate style cultism. Once America loses is financial, and technological and military edge we will come back down to earth. Unfortunately this might take a while.

A byproduct of a decadent, spoiled society. No one who has really grown up around racially mixed poverty is woke. They’re all spoiled kids of all races who know nothing but people like them.

I have friends who had to move their mother from a white high crime area -- a place that she'd lived all her life -- because they just couldn't deal with the stress and the worry. When I was a young man, I lived in a multiracial community. For the last 40 years though, I've lived in a borough that's 93% white. The non-white people who live here are Indians and Chinese. I moved here because I got tired of being robbed. House broken into, car stolen, etc. etc. I haven't worried about crime in my neighbourhood for the last forty years. Successful drug dealers sometimes move here, but they don't do business here.

I once due to financial circumstances delivered pizza. I delivered long enough to form an opinion of the customers. It was not a myth that black folks did not tip they didn't. The average black customer invariably wanted to pay less than the bill. I had a black customer who would always order two large pies and we often talked and he told me he weekly invited the nextdoor neighbor kids to eat with his sons. I could tell by the vehicles they had that he was a tradesman . I liked this man and his sons and was always treated with respect by him and his family . I often thought that it was such a shame that I knew he and his family were painted daily with the broad brush that was the color of the majority of my black customers . It taught that not all stereotypes are wrong but default to stereotypes after first giving every person a chance to show you who they are. I would bet my retirement that his sons went to college and are productive professionals in the communities where they live and still have to deal with the stereotype that is not without justification of many black Americans.I hope they have the character to deal with it without bitterness or racial animosity toward most white folks because of a number of bigots.

The children are absolutely going to pay the Liberals bill. And then some.

as an observation, ive noticed that black people who make enough money *leave* their low income black communities. as a personal matter, once i saw a video of an immigrant uber driver getting carjacked, him hold onto the door as the car drove away, and then looking at his mangled lifeless body as the carjacker threw a fit because she couldn't find a phone --- i realized i don't want to live around that.

Then all the sports/celebrities want to get on their high horses and act like they care about their own after they have long since left the poor community behind to rot just to blame whites instead of themselves.

Invite Scott Adams on your show. Then ask him point blank all the hard questions about how he sees the questions of race playing out, and what he thinks should be happening. Nothing off the table, nothing candy-coated, just lay out what he thinks and how he got there. Press him on how his comments have been perceived and if he fully understood how inevitable that was before he made them. I would really be interested in that content.

He was responding to a horrendous poll of black Americans. Read the backstory and his response makes a lot more sense. If the races were reversed the entire left side of the political divide in America would be up in arms, and rightfully so. So why aren't they in this case? We all know the answer.

It always comes down to values and ethics. As a white man, I would live in a totally black neighborhood if everyone shared my ethics and values. I'd move into a house next to Shaq, Tiger, and MJ in a heartbeat.

Im not American (Irish) but being an upper middle class white person, front of mind is that my kids mix with the "best" kids they can, so not racial as such but wanting my kids surrounded by stable working families where doing well in school, going to college, not getting involved in crime is the most normal thing in the world.

When I was a kid, most working class families felt exactly the same way. When I passed the 11 plus, literally every family in our street of slum properties gave me money -- because we valued education and success back in the mid sixties.

This might present an interesting moral dilemma if there was any evidence staying makes a net positive social difference. Indeed, the more people who escape negative environments, the better off we are as a society. I expect our decision to home school our children will not only benefit them directly, but society as a whole, by increasing the chances of them becoming adult positive contributors to society.

Great conversation. Thank you guys for dealing with this issue in such a thoughtful manner.

Thank you both for considering this question seriously. 🙏

Birds of a feather flock together. It's a simple truism about the human condition where people seek out others similar to themselves. It's not a matter of good or evil it's just how we are.

Come on John! Read the statistics!!!!

Certainly safer. Lived and worked in Compton and Watts for over 50 years.

Enjoyed the conversation. We'll done guys. 😎 😎

Whenever I'm asked, by a Black person, how I would feel if a Black person moved next door to me, I ask what they mean by that. I then ask how they would feel if a White person moved next to them. Then say what if that White person is loud and obnoxious, dirty, and had a huge confederate flag in their yard. It all depends on what you mean. A Black person is fine but any person that is going to start causing problems is unacceptable. Then I ask if they realize that they are being prejudiced. Trying to judge me by how I look. I ask if it's ok for people to do that to them. Then they often say that it does happen. And then I say that those people are acting in an unacceptable manner. How is it ok for you? PS I have a Mexican family living next door, a mixed Black and White family across the street, Black families living two houses down and catty corner from me, and a poor white person living next to me. They all seem fine. It all depends on the people.

This is how I feel. I grew up in mixed race environments All of my life being middle to upper middle class African American family. Scott Adams comment really showed me how people feel and I can't say I like what I seen. It's like they were waiting for an excuse to say what they really think. But if you lived in these mixed environments and you don't go on the internet everything is fine . when people have ownership in their environment they tend to care about it. You can tell people who never lived in mixed race middle class and up environments they talk about it like the Boogeyman because of news KZread video clips or stats they look at they don't live it

Most people really have no issue who moves next door as long as they act right. Are polite, respectful, take care of their property, and have some consideration for the community they live in. And even if they don’t understand this, a willingness to learn and become that is just as good. Like do folks move to a nice neighborhood from a shitty one to keep doing the exact same behavior?! 😂

If Glenn and John were to be my neighbours that would make the accommodation more desirable. We are currently in the process of moving our child to a new school, despite the economic burden that will entail. The ethnic composition of his new classmates has not been a consideration at this point, because our assumption is that other families that have chosen the same school have similar values and choose to prioritise their children's education and happiness.

These guys are awesome -- hopefully we can all come together. I do respect them totally.

Thank you so much Glenn and John, Thank you! put things in to place with facts, knowledge and inteligence .

Interpreting what Scott Adams said as being "willfully obnoxious" I think is a flawed analysis (to be generous). Scott is not a politician or any other person for whom saying what he said could give him an advantage, quite on the contrary he seemed truly sickened by the reality of living with the consequences of black crime and societal decay, and his statement has hurt him a lot!

Eventually, the country will be divided into three zones: Detroit, rural areas, and the border areas in between quietly but desperately trying to hold back the advance of Detroit. The great divorce will happen, no matter what individual actors do to try to stop it or hurry it along.

Not completely, It'd be my honor to hang out with you guys all day. Thank you for the truth

This week is great. I would love Kmele’s take on this.

The black middle class has been exiting the city of Detroit for decades. Much of the flight is due to the high cost of living--high property taxes, resident income tax, high auto insurance, high property insurance. For the city to recover, it will need to stop the bleeding.

One is married to a white woman and the other lives in NH I believe. They've already acquiesced to Adams' POV, they just happen to be black.

“ I recommend it even though I disagree with every page”. Loved that.

Michelle Obama said that when she was growing up in Chicago white people were moving away from blacks. Now that Michelle and Barack Obama are very rich their homes are in very rich white neighborhoods. What do you think about that?

The proposition is unquestionably true that "there are worse things than being shot". For example, one could watch one's child be shot.

Scott Adams is right

I could tell you stories about how people were openly racist towards me when I lived near Detroit. But no one cares because I'm white. It happened with more and more frequency. A black man waived a knife at me at work and not only did not lose his job but I was called angry for getting angry that a guy waived a knife at me at work! I left that job that day and ended up leaving that community (40% black). It just got more and more unpleasant for a huwhite supremacist like me just trying to go grocery shopping and not get harassed walking through the front door twice in 30 seconds. That's true too. I'm done with this struggle. Blacks have to figure it out before this goes too far. Damage has been done that will last for decades because young white people are growing up with hatred in their hearts for how they're being treated. Now. Today. This is serious. Very, very serious.

As often happens when I watch Loury and McWhorter, I have yet another book to add to my reading list, maybe two. Bill Bishop’s “The Big Sort” will be a priority, and “Common Ground” by J. Anthony Lewis is intriguing. But if McWhorter disagrees with every page of Sheryll Cashin’s “The Failure of Integration,” I’ll conserve my reading time for something more productive. I am interested in “The Big Sort” because I live in an area where there are several ethnicities moving in in sufficient numbers that there are many strains and the population that was very stable between 1945 and 1980 was mostly moved away. They had a common culture even though their forebears were largely non-Hispanic European (wrongly lumped together as “Anglo”), Mexican, and Japanese. The “flight” has not been entirely “white flight,” but simply Old Timer flight. We are indeed sorting.
