For as long a that toon has been around the dude can probably just retire and enjoy the rest of his life. Why does anyone contribute to an ungrateful society? Might as well have SUCKER written on their forehead.

Stop responding to the resident radical. Facts don't matter. The ignore list is your friend.

I saw a guy on a live steam last night get accused by someone in the chat of "silent discrimination".

He tore that kid a new ass

You really went way off with your tangent, and ALL OF US can easily interpret that you do not want the 'facts' to interfere with your subjective positions.

Firstly, your facts are irrelevant to the thread, as the discussion was racism between whites and blacks--also, I need the sourcing of your facts, as my very extensive research through decades have proven to me most stats are BS, they are far from honest, never objective and NEVER sourced from parties not in the role to gain something.
The sourced parties have EVERYTHING to gain when the facts are not the facts.

With that said there is not an accepted method to determine racism, much less what groups are more racist than others.

For this discussion, two items will always be in play:

1) everyone's personal stories, for them and family and friends
2) white on black and black on white stats, FBI is a decent source, but still biased

Racism is everywhere, it will never diminish, as race baiters occupy many seats under the dome, and most major cities.

The biggest racists are the one that are the biggest accusers.

I am nor, nor have even been a racist, I have much more important things to occupy my time.

While not racist, there are many groups I detest--democrats, socialists, most pols, freeshitgrabbers and anyone who is not an FSU or Fins fan.

Apparently you are calling me and 6spdc6 both racists.

More proof that Scott Adams and others are correct. There is no fixing the problem. As one can see even here in this little corner of the internet, if you talk about the problem you are a racist.

I must say that generally you and I get along well. I have been kind towards you and even have been helpful and complementary on your beautiful house build. But if this is your position towards me, I’m afraid I will have to take a different approach.

Ball is in your court.

Make it required reading for your kids. Discuss each day. Was it true, was it kind, agree? Explain. Make your kids think. On their own.

No, Dilbert shouldn’t be cancelled because a small minority is uncomfortable with debating social issues.

Some blacks say that the whites avoid them. Interactions go both ways.

One of the problems, even as evidenced here, is that most people don't want to talk about problems logically. I have black friends that I love dearly, but the black community as a whole has huge problems. A lot of these problems have been exacerbated by the government for 60 years. They have helped disinegrate black nuclear families, and have made sure they are hooked on the handouts. The problem is so multi faceted, there is no way we could cover all the bases. That said, the black community is their own worst enemy as they don't want to address their problems as a whole, and many want to play the victim/race card. If you address the disproportionate crime rate that literally falls on about 6% (black males) of the population, it is actually quite astounding. Adams is correct in his assessment, and that doesn't make him a racist, but a realist. I live in middle Georgia, and I promise the crime is so lopsided per demographic, it is mind numbing. I am posting a link to the local tv station for anyone who cares to look at some of the articles. There is a problem, and we know it's a problem, but if you try to be rational about it, you're a "racist". Just spare me at this point.

Dilbert and other toons like it should never be cancelled because they spur active discussions just like those posted here where views from every viewpoint are expressed, and sometimes even effectively defended. If things don't get vicious that kind of discourse is healthy and increasingly unusual in recent times. Makes all sides of the argument assess and evaluate positions as the debate continues.

He has FU money. So he can tell them all to go fuk-a-brick. He’s an old white guy with conservative leaning opinions. No matter how subtle he was the woke mob would still take the same position against him.

I’d love to have unlimited FU money and a soapbox like one of his position.
Of course I’d end up dead because I would not be subtle.

Fukkem. Fagettaboutit.
