‘White Fragility’ Author Champions Segregation. ‘Dilbert’ Creator Lost Career For Saying The Same Thing. | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Publisher's Note: This post appears here courtesy of the The Daily Wire. The author of this post is Hank Berrien.

    "White Fragility" author Robin DiAngelo offered a separatist proposition in which she advocated for racial segregation, prompting conservatives to note that "Dilbert" creator Scott Adams was vilified and reportedly lost 80% of his income after making essentially the same proposition but from the opposite perspective.

    Adams had reacted to a Rasmussen Reports poll that asked whether people agreed with the statement "It's OK to be white." 26% of black respondents disagreed and 21% said they were not sure, prompting Adams to state, "If nearly half of all blacks are not OK with white people ... that's a hate group."

    "And I don't want anything to do with them," Adams continued. "And based on how things are going, the best advice I could give to white people is to get the hell away from black people. Just get the f*** away. Wherever you have to go, just get away. 'Cause there's no fixing this. This can't be fixed."

    Adams later defended himself, saying, "The trick is just to use my quote and to ignore the context which I helpfully added afterwards," adding that his two main points were "treat all individuals as individuals, no discrimination" and "avoid anything that statistically looks like a bad idea for you personally."

    DiAngelo was speaking on a group chat when she declared that she was "a big believer in affinity space and affinity work, and I think people of color need to get away from white people and have some community with each other. And I'll let that go and maybe see if anyone else wants to pick it up."

    Anti-woke warrior Christopher Rufo noted the incongruity, writing, "It's amazing that, for an entire year, the libs scrambled to find their moral voice and settled on Ibram Kendi and Robin DiAngelo, who turned out to be two of the greatest midwits of our time."

    Commentator Dave Rubin chimed in, "Isn't this what they cancelled @ScottAdamsSays for?!"

    That prompted Adams to respond, "You're not supposed to notice."

    When a critic claimed that Adams' comments were different from DiAngelo's because Adams used the term "hate group," Adams replied:

    Every adult knows "hate group" is obvious hyperbole in this case. And so do you. Taking it literally comes off as a diversion from the point, that the woke part of the world (of all colors) has a mindset that is being poisoned against White people, and White men in particular. Don't hide from the point. It's useful information for all.

It has been far too many years since the Woke theology interlaced its canons within the fabric of the Indoctrination Realm, so it is nigh time to ask: Does this Representative Republic continue, as a functioning society of a self-governed people, by contending with the unusual, self absorbed dictates of the Woke, and their vast array of Victimhood scenarios?
  Yes, the Religion of Woke must continue; there are so many groups of underprivileged, underserved, a direct result of unrelenting Inequity; they deserve everything.
  No; the Woke fools must be toppled from their self-anointed pedestal; a functioning society of a good Constitutional people cannot withstand this level of "existential" favoritism as it exists now.
  I just observe; with this thoughtful observation: What will happen "when the Vikings are breeching our walls;" how do the Woke react?

Considering how abjectly corrupt and civilly abusive the Left has become regarding the corrosive effect of their elected leaders; their entrenched and ruling bureaucracy; employing their failed Education Industry as Indoctrinators; their collusive private sector operators, such as the terminally discredited Legacy Media and Big Tech censorship of Free Speech: What will be the best course forward for hardworking Middle Americans, including the Patriot Class?
  Withdraw from society, go underground and plan for a resurgence when it is feasible to do so.
  Work within the confines of better policy by the People's government, once good sense and sanity is restored in the electorate at large, to achieve such.
  Are you a crazy, nut-job Insurrectionist? Everything is perfect within our plan to achieve our intended goals for the Socialist Left.
  Secession to form a true Constitutional Republic.

Considering what has happened to our Representative Republic since the corruptive orthodoxy that led to the tolerated abomination - The Russia Hoax - where felonies were perpetrated upon the American People by the creation of the Two Tiered Justice System, in the misnomer of "Social Justice:" Where do you stand on sustaining our constitutionally guaranteed freedoms in a society where injustice is chronically sanctioned by one political orthodoxy?
  I believe in a perfected society by employing a higher governmental authority to train the behavior of the public.
  The United States Constitution does not allow just a few freedoms, it guarantees ALL freedoms promised to Humankind by God.
  Just don't take away my Social Media.
