The title of AF's thread ("Dilbert Creator Scott Adams Warns White People ‘Get the Hell Away’ from Blacks") isn't really false, though. It accurately characterizes what Adams actually said. However, the title of the article AF took his thread title from goes on to say "... As Poll Shows They’re Not ‘Okay’ with Being White" - and If I understand correctly, that is the part jmdrake takes issue with. But I'll change the title, anyway.
Fair enough.

Grrr....
It's the hyperbole that's the problem! And you and others have been feeding off the hyperbole. Such hyperbole on both sides is dangerous. And for the record I have called out both sides. I will refrain from giving you the middle finger over your snark about "getting my own people in check" but that was BS on your part. Here is the bottom line. You can't tell jack shyt from this stupid Rassmusen poll. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
This is what is crap AF. You want to post about Candace Owens saying black people should back away from BLM? Most black people don't give a crap about BLM but BLM support has been plummeting among African American!

Support for the Black Lives Matter movement is plummeting, including among African Americans, according to a new poll.
As the country prepares to mark the second anniversary of the killing of George Floyd, which sparked a nationwide reckoning on race and policing, the University of Massachusetts Amherst survey found that support for the movement has fallen since last April.
The poll of 1,000 people, conducted by YouGov between May 5 and 9, found support for the movement's goals had decreased from 48 percent to 31 percent.
Meanwhile, support for the movement's strategies and tactics dropped from 40 percent to 31 percent.

Some of the steepest declines in support for the movement were found among African American respondents. Their support for the movement's goals dropped from 67 percent to 56 percent since last April, while support for the movement's strategies and tactics want from 65 percent to 49 percent.
'Growing Tired' of the Movement
"While Black Lives Matter signs still adorn lawns from coast to coast, Americans may be growing tired of the Black Lives Matter movement as support for the strategies, tactics and goals of the movement have experienced a precipitous decline in the past year across demographic and political groups," said Tatishe Nteta, an associate professor of political science at UMass Amherst and the director of the poll.
The poll also found that support for police reform has declined since April last year. Support for reducing funding for state and local police departments to divert money to social services dropped seven points, from 38 percent to 31 percent, while support for banning the use of military grade equipment and weaponry by state and local police fell from 48 percent to 42 percent.

The poll also saw a decline in support for: allowing citizens to sue individual police officers accused of the excessive use of force or misconduct (from 59 percent to 54 percent); for restricting the ability of police officers from deactivating their body cameras (71 percent to 64 percent); and for banning chokeholds by police officers (from 62 percent to 58 percent.)
So maybe rather worrying about the black community you could try educating yourself about what's really going on in the black community?
