In a month, no one will remember this ludicrous poll except Scott Adams, who used it to justify his unhinged racist rant, and promptly lost his book deal and comic syndication.

The most absurd people have been elevated by social media...

I’m a White guy, over 70, who has spent his entire adult life more or less totally among Black folks. To the extent of having an annual Christmas party with 100-150 guests, open to anyone who showed up, where only 1 or 2 would be White. In my 50 years as the only White guy in the room, club, church, or house I only had ONE unpleasant experience regarding race. It happened in Philadelphia, a city which in the 1980’s had a particularly poisonous racial atmosphere, largely thanks to Frank Rizzo, a pretty openly racist mayor. In a very crowded Black gay bar an inebriated patron turn to me and said, “Get back!”. Of course, my feet were then nailed in that spot and the fellow picked up his drink and moved. That was it! In fifty years! Black folks don’t hate you because you are White, and if you are a decent, caring human being, they will treat you with love and affection. White folks need to treat their Negrophobia by having social interactions with Black people. It’s as easy as that.
