Seems reasonable. He makes a provocative statement for ppl in his audience to draw their attention and make the important point it’s not okay (we should avoid) ppl who dislike us based on skin color. And he makes the further point he agrees there is still systemic racism against black folks and it’s a big problem. And yet, as you see in response to your posting of the video, ppl still dismiss it because they’d rather hold on to the soundbite to maintain their outrage, rather than understand the guy’s position.

Reading sound takes like this vs seemingly everyone on reddit celebrating his death makes me quite sad.

His take is stupid even if you give him the benefit of the doubt and believe his claim at face value. You shouldn’t avoid people that dislike you in this manner because it perpetuates the problem to eternity. It is essentially the same concept as segregation: well, we can’t ever get along so we’ll just exist in separate spaces!

We literally tried that already and it didn’t work out so well.

I hate to say this but you control your destiny when it comes to your reputation. If you want people to celebrate your life instead of celebrating your death, spend your life being nice to people lifting them up.

Scott Adams didn’t do that. We are all free to feel however we want to feel about him. Don’t worry, his feelings won’t be hurt, he’s dead.
