'Stupid' Dilbert creator killed his career because of a highly flawed right-wing poll: analysis

You're fucking stupid

You don't know if it is okay to be white because (you're a racist pos)never been white.

So do you believe it's not okay to be white? Are you on the fence on that as well?

Welcome to the ignore list.
At least you know how to spell "you're", give yourself a high fiver.
 
This excerpt from your link makes clear the Left and Regressives have distorted and failed to grasp;

By his own admission, Adams was using “hyperbole” to make his point. There are just two problems with that. The first is that his targets weren’t clear. Was he going after Rasmussen for releasing a “poll” with only 160 respondents? Was he mocking white flight? Was he satirizing the notion that blacks can’t be racist? The whole thing was just too scattershot to be effective. The second problem is that if Adams was trying to be funny, he wasn’t nearly arch enough for the humor to come through.

Ronald Reagan believed that if you’re explaining, you’re losing. The same is true for jokes: If you have to explain them, they aren’t funny. Adams got himself in a situation where he had to explain, explain, explain.

So for me, the video was a big “meh” from a sharp humorist who usually has a lot to say and who says it well.
 
If I say "Asians are good at math", is that racist?
It may be, but it is indisputably dumb...

Who cares? He is a grown man with a net worth, north of 75 Million Dollar$. That is got to hell money in anybody's book. Also, I doubt we have seen the last of Scott or Dilbert. He's the darling cartoonist of the right, now.
With 75 million you can tell the world to go sit and spin if they don't like it ...

 
So, the creator of Dilbert--pulls a Dilbert! LOL! Everyone knows to not trust a Rasmussen poll..don't they?



Scott Adams, the creator of the "Dilbert" cartoon strip which has been yanked from newspapers across the country due to his racist comments, has only himself to blame for his troubles because he relied on a highly dubious poll when he attacked Black Americans.
That is the opinion of Slate analyst Aymann Ismel who pointed out the Rasmussen poll that the controversial cartoonist used in his diatribe can, at best, be viewed as an attempt to troll non-conservatives. Instead it appears to have ended Adams' career.
Adams quickly lost his syndication deal and watched as newspapers lined up to pull his strip after posting a video where he claimed, "If nearly half of all Blacks are not OK with white people—according to this poll, not according to me, that’s a hate group,” before advising his fans to “get the hell away from Black people.”
According to Ismel, "I cannot overemphasize how dumb it is that Scott finally filleted his reputation in full over a trolly Rasmussen poll. If you’re not familiar, Rasmussen is a right-leaning pollster that produces semi-mainstream polls but is noted for its murky methods and what the New York Times has called 'dubious sampling and weighting techniques.'"
He then added that Rasmussen has been coy about their methodology when it came to that poll.
"Rasmussen said 13 percent of poll respondents were Black, so about 130 people. If we take the results entirely at face value—which I’d discourage—that means it found about 34 Black people who answered 'disagree' or 'strongly disagree' with the statement 'It’s OK to be white.' We have no more information about why. (Adams got to his figure by also including Black respondents who answered 'not sure.')"

According to the analyst, "Rasmussen apparently assumed its audience would be too stupid to know any of that, and in the case of Scott Adams, it was clearly right.
Whats shoddy about their polls? They ask a question and people answer. What in the hell are you talking about? :cuckoo:

The first 3 minutes of that is some of the most honest, accurate counseling and life lesson I have ever heard.
