Scott Adams’s racist tirade controversy explained
Scott Adams shared a new video on Wednesday on his YouTube podcast channel called Real Coffee with Scott Adams. However, he quickly sparked debate on social media after he engaged himself in racist comments.
Moreover, he also went ahead to reply to a Rasmussen Report poll that asked whether ‘It’s OK to be white.’

In addition, he soon began a racially inappropriate rant where he stated that the poll proved that the ongoing racial tension in America cannot be fixed.
Besides that, he asked Caucasians to move away from Black people and s aid that it was the ‘first political poll’ that changed his activities.
The pro-Trump cartoonist continued, ‘I’ve been identifying as Black for a while because I like to be on the winning team.’
He mentioned, ‘But it turns out that nearly half of that team doesn’t think I’m okay to be white. Which is why I identified as Black so I could be on the winning team for a while.’
The 65-year-old insisted that he is tired of seeing videos of Black Americans beating up non-Black citizens.
Additionally, he shared that the clips of a Black person beating a white person circulate online almost ‘every damn day.’
So…. Scott Adams just said the quiet part out loud.
There’s a percentage who’s driven past the racist narrative I respect more than most. But something’s gotta change.
