I mean, on the one hand, he should have known that this was effectively suicide as far as his career went. Unless you're either prepared to live with the consequences or you've got a tidy sum of "fuck you" money ready to live on, you can't tell any sort truth like this, not on race or sexuality or gender or anything, really. The nanny-state progressives with their "words can kill" delusions won't allow it.

On the other hand, though, he's not entirely wrong. Outrage merchants, race grifters, and equality-obsessed progressives have done more to set race relations back in the last 10 years than any number of Klansmen or neo-Nazis have done in the last 100. And part of that was their first excusing and then empowering a surge in blatant black racism, initially with that whole handwaving bullshit about how blacks can be prejudiced but not racist because racism requires having power over others. Then it was encouraging segregation by another name in the form of black-only safe spaces (while simultaneously ensuring that black people were allowed to shamelessly take over anyone else's activities and center themselves in it).

Now you've got a sizable number of black people who are entirely comfortable letting their own racism show, knowing that they'll not only never get called on it, but applauded instead. And since you can't slap the taste out of their mouths for it, and they damned sure won't get themselves under control? Well, all you're left with is to cut ties and avoid them.

I think he realised it, and I don’t think he’s at any risk of being poor any time soon.

I’m just flabbergasted by the coverage of it. The way that the press is reporting disagreement with “It’s okay to be white” as anything other than racism is disgraceful.

It shows you the clear double standard in the media and online environment it's quite troubling. If you did a similar poll about do you agree with the statement "black lives matter" you'd get equal fuckery with the results conflating the difference between the political movement blm, and the simple statement itself with none of the political baggage.

I agree with him as far as, you shouldn't have anything to do with the racists that hate white people, but he's conflating that group with black people.

White people can also be racist against white people. Same way black people can be racist against black people. Anyone who actually cares about what color someone's skin is isn't someone you want to be around. They judge people based on some bullshit they can't control. They'll eventually find something wrong with you even if you are the same color as them.
