#1 Elon Musk claims US media is 'racist against whites and Asians' and appears to back Dilbert creator who warned people to 'stay the f**k away from blacks' - as WaPo and NY Times drop comic strip

#2 Yes, and your point is?

Sort of got the hint when they stopped showing pictures or videos of perps to violent crimes because they didn't want people to know the truth about the community where the majority of them were from.

#3 "Transparency" had a very short time in vogue. Now, it's ~~all stuff they'd prefer you not know~~ disinformation.

#4 Now we see the "other conversation" that has been going on for sometime in a culture that has been for far too long overlooked and marginalized simply because of the color of their skin: "interact with individuals, avoid groups."

#5 The ghost of George Wallace is laughing his ass off, as increasingly the civil rights movement seems to endorsed his worldview,just from the other side!

#6 Adams cartoons ceased to amuse me many years ago, I disagree with him on many issues, and the points he was trying to make are easy to dismiss because of his very poor delivery. The poll results are both problematic and consistent with what I continue to experience in the real world. I see racial distrust that can only be overcome on a person to person basis. I would like to see a decrease in racial distrust, but increasing hatred has been profitable for a parasitic political class. Woke is the culmination of their work to divide us. Now the best assumption is that anyone you meet is an enemy until they prove themselves to be friendly. This tribalism in our society is what perpetuates the influence of the bad actors.

#7 ^ Spot on and exquisitely reasoned!

#9 I have never followed 'Dilbert.' I can't even recall having ever read one of the cartoons. Until someone sent me the article, I had honestly never heard of Adams. I respect his opinion however and his right to voice it. Arguing against his thesis is a Flat Earth advocates view. Just my 2 farthings worth.

#10 Most of those who were employed in software development in the last 20 years is very familiar with Dilbert whether they followed or not. Dilbert was always about that unique environment and how it extrapolates to "civlized society". It was a niche humor element that given the times, rose to the greater consciousness even though that was never the target audience. Remember that the next time some SW Dev is forced to apologize for wearing a Hawaiian shirt his girlfriend made for him.

#11 One additional point if I may. The migration (over the past 40+ years) of white families from the vicinity of Virginia Ave. in Atlanta, South down the I-85 and I-75 corridors was not brought about by airplane noise or environmental concerns. It was brought about by the survival instinct.

#12 ^ And there's the rub. Soon, Blue state won't be satisfied to simply continue taxing those who've escaped their gulag - reparations will also be extracted. They're not just signalling...they're shouting at the top of their lungs that there is no end to the torture. None.

#13 I think some interesting court cases might arise from any state trying to tax former residents.

#14 ^ NY State already does. CA next up and I'm most concerned that CA Dems will move on this before me n the rest of Clan Mundi can get out. Note well that less a full blown case before SCOTUS, this will be the new model to keep the normies fixed and in place. Mobility = Victory.

#15 Being taxed by a state you departed just doesn't pass the common sense test.

Another reason why this compact of several states will disintegrate within ca. 15 years.

#16 Go to any election office and see who is "counting" the votes.

#17 And remember that Biden's black press secretary just said the POTUS is a black man.

#18 I think some interesting court cases might arise from any state trying to tax former residents.

In 1982 I stayed with the same company but moved from CA to NV. Sure enough, CA wanted to continue to tax my income.
