Scott Adams fell for the race baiting.
Pro-Trump cartoonist Scott Adams pulled the mask all the way off this week, declaring on his podcast that white people should “get the hell away from Black people” while labeling African-Americans as a “hate group.”
Citing a recent Rasmussen survey showing 53 percent of Black people agree with the phrase “It’s okay to be white,” which the Anti-Defamation League has deemed a hate slogan, Adams said on Wednesday that this was the “first political poll that ever changed my activities” while launching into an overtly racist rant.

His first mistake was citing a Rassmussen poll.
'Dilbert' deservedly gets canceled. But there’s more blame to spread around.
Scott Adams might not have made these specific racist remarks if not for Rasmussen Reports and its incendiary questions.
Rasmussen Reports pollsters asked 1,000 people to agree or disagree with two statements: “It’s OK to be white” and “Black people can be racist, too.” Nothing good was ever going to come from those questions, and it was irresponsible and incendiary for Rasmussen to use those questions, and only those questions, in a survey.
In promoting its poll results, which depressingly found that most Americans think Black people can be racist, Rasmussen Reports used the headline “Not ‘Woke’ Yet? Most Voters Reject Anti-White Beliefs.” Get it? To be “woke” is to be anti-white. No polling organization that would make such an assertion should be given any attention when it attempts to analyze American race relations.
Rasmussen Reports was asking people, including Black people, to agree with phrases associated with racist people and racist politics. And Adams got mad at Black people — and bizarrely vowed to withdraw his help from Black Americans — because reportedly 26% of Black respondents refused to play along and disagreed with the statement “It’s OK to be white.”
