The common racist trope of "blacks commit a disproportionate amount of crime" usually omits that nearly all of the victims of that crime are also black. There isn't an epidemic of black-on-white violence, so Adams is truly deep into a racist rabbit hole if he's being regularly exposed to that narrative.Black Americans assaulting White people
Scott Adams skulked into Reddit back in 2007, 2008 or so. He mostly seemed to want to defend himself against mild allegations that there was a real libertarian core to all his writings - and he did it third person. "Scott Adams doesn't seem to hold these ideas by my read," said Scott Adams. "He holds these other ideas that are very much like what you said, but couched in dog-whistle phrases that illustrate that Scott Adams is much smarter than you." He was utterly eaten alive and found out within like six posts. At which point the laugh-and-point circle grew quite wide indeed - Scott Adams being dismantled in /r/Dilbert? What's not to love? But I could see how that could be radicalizing So if you take as a baseline that the guy has been filtering for Friendly Press Only since Bush was president? Yeah the hole's prolly pretty deep.
Blacks disproportionately commit crimes because Blacks are disproportionately poor. Blacks are disproportionately poor because Blacks were literally enslaved, and then oppressed via the legal system until just two or three generations ago. Anyone pretending like that generality is wrong or difficult to understand is stupid, racist, or some combination of both.
I tell you what - I consider myself a fairly enlightened individual and it was sumpin' going back through Ancestry.com, watching the census reports, finding ancestors that owned slaves, and deducing that not one, not two but three sets of grandparents became itinerant farmers the minute their slaves were freed. Going back to 1827. And I mean... we're talkin' plantation owners who were in positions to sell their plantations. Not people with nothing who all of a sudden weren't in chains? But also weren't picking and choosing from a cornucopia of career choices. Give or take two or three generations...and then oppressed via the legal system until just two or three generations ago.
