In part, you’re telling me you agree with me, and I you.
That is to say, I use racial profiling myself. It’s only common sense. The black people I’ve lived and worked with have told me they avoid other black people in some contexts. By the way, I did not ever have a need to avoid my black colleagues.
What I’m talking about though is the effect of internet posts. Keep in mind, nobody anywhere needs a poster on the internet to tell them how to racially profile to protect themselves. This is why I accuse Scott Adams of low IQ when he posts on the internet, “Stay away from black people.” It’s not a statement made to actually give useful information because people already know who to stay away from and in what contexts.
Of note for anyone unable to think independently: there are plenty of white people who will cause you far worse problems if you interact with them, compared with black people you might interact with.
Making posts like that on the internet, including posts made on this site, has the effect of planting subliminal seeds of racism which achieve only one thing: further divide our country.

This thread was not about Scott Adams until you just now bring him up. Your earlier comments were directed at posters, such a myself.
Scott Adams cited a poll.
By telephone and online, the group surveyed a thousand American adults, with this question: “Do you agree or disagree with this statement, ‘It’s OK to be white’?”
The report found that 72% of the respondents agreed, including 53% who are Black. Some 26% of Black respondents disagreed, and 21% said they are “not sure.” The poll also found that 79% of all the respondents agreed with the statement “Black people can be racist too.”
How is citing the results of a poll divisive?
How is my post divisive? And why should I give a crap what you think about it anyway, you profiler? I am not squelching my free speech because you have concerns about the ‘effect of internet posts’.
