The Washington Post and NPR, among other outlets, walked right up to calling me racist when I posted my agreement with Judge Edith Jones' observation at Penn Law School that blacks commit proportionately more violent crime than whites. The only problem was that her statement and mine were and are true, as everyone in the field knows. Paul came to my defense in his unanswerable (and unanswered) essay here: https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2018/03/washington-post-joins-smear-campaign-against-bill-otis.php
The very unfortunate truth is that all you have to do to be called racist in the present day and time is to be (1) white, (2) conservative, and (3) on your feet after getting out of bed in the morning. One of the many reasons I was happy to join Paul here on Ringside is to start fighting back, as we all should.
Guys (William Otis included!). You are... each a... species of Ankylosaurus.
That is -- you and your ilk are now... selected for... extinction. It is just the way Darwin envisioned. He was right. You mediocre senile whyte boys cannot compete fairly -- on a level playing field.
So... you are (collectively) being shown The Great Egress.
If the (very stupid) poll question was prompted by a slogan being circulated that "it's okay to be white," it is likely that most of the respondents who disagreed were expressing disagreement with the organization that was disseminating the slogan or with the causes that it was intended to favor. People who had not heard the slogan might regard the question as being so stupid and its purpose so unclear that they might understandably be unwilling to express agreement or disagreement.
I therefore do not agree that any inferences about the racist or non-racist views of black people can properly be drawn from these responses. I believe Scott Adams and Paul Mirengoff (both of whom I greatly admire) are wrong to draw such inferences. I agree with Paul that cancelling "Dilbert"--the only comic strip I have the slightest desire to read these days--is quite unjustified and a regrettable sign of the times.

Welp. My thoughts -- on Mr. Mirengoff's dishonest nonsense -- appear at the below link:
