Scott is either smoking crack or pulling our legs. He can’t possibly be serious. I’m guessing he wants to see the reaction to such an outrageously asinine post.
Guest Post by Scott Adams
President Obama’s presidency did a lot to diminish racial bias simply because he was a black president who – in the opinion of many, including me – did a good job. As a role model, he was exceptional. But all the factors that made him a great role model are the same factors that prevented him from doing much for the African-American community. It would have looked like favoritism if he had focused too much in that area. The resistance from the right would have been ferocious. And it would have ruined Obama’s brand. People loved Obama in part because he didn’t focus on his race. The country needed that.

Now we have President Trump. You might not realize it yet, but this is an extraordinary opportunity for the African-American community to make some gains. In the standard 2D view of the world, Trump is a typical Republican who you expect to do little or nothing for minority interests. But in the 3D world of persuasion, the door of opportunity for African-Americans just swung wide open. If that is still invisible to you, let me draw a picture.
President Obama didn’t need to deliver any special improvements to the African-American community. His existence was the change. But Trump is in a deep “Hitler hole” that his opponents dug for him. He needs a way out.
And that opens the door.
If the African-American community has a specific set of proposals that Trump can sell to Republicans, this is the time to do it. He needs the black community more than they need him. That’s the perfect negotiating situation.
The African-American community is mostly aligned with the anti-Trumpers of every type. Their interests are getting lost in the noise. What they need is a simple, bold plan that they can sell to the President, and he can sell to the country. Remember, President Trump needs the help. This is the perfect time to negotiate.
I’ll give you an example of what such a plan might look like, just for discussion purposes. This is only an example so you can see what sort of scope I’m talking about.
Suppose some organized group of African-Americans puts together a slavery reparations plan that focuses on free college education as the compensation. The plan would call for universal free college (to get all the liberals onboard) but specify that any such plan has to be phased in over a decade for practical reasons. And that means someone has to go first. Why not start with African-Americans who are also below a certain economic level?
Republicans like the idea of free college too. They just don’t know how the country could pay for it. I think technology will eventually solve the college expense problem by making online schooling more effective. But instead of waiting until something changes, it would be useful to have a phased plan to get us moving in the right direction. You have to start small, and one way to do that is by starting with college-bound African-Americans.
Keep in mind that we have to start with one group or another. I can’t imagine turning a switch and making college free for everyone at the same time. And if someone has to go first, there is no real way to avoid discrimination. If you limit free college to the poor, the middle-class gets screwed, and so forth.
I think Trump could argue that offering free college to the demographic group with the most social friction is also the best path for long-term economic prosperity. In simple terms, helping one white male make 20% more income might be less valuable to society than putting one black male into the productive workforce. Republicans need to hear an economic argument, and I think there is one in this case.
This hypothetical plan of offering free college for African-Americans would work best if paired with student loan relief of some kind that applies to everyone. That would take some of the sting out of the “fairness” critics. And it also needs to be wrapped in a larger plan to get to free college for all, eventually.
President Obama would have had zero chance of selling a plan like the one I just described. It would have looked super-racist coming from a black president. But if Trump tries to sell this sort of plan, it would solve his biggest brand problem because it wouldn’t look Hitlerish in the least.
The big obstacle with this idea, as you will eagerly tell me, is that even Trump can’t sell the idea of free college for African-Americans. Someone needs to pay for it, and Republicans don’t like that part. But remember, you didn’t think Trump could sell himself into the presidency either. My advice to African-American voters is to challenge the president with a specific plan. See what he can do.
You might be surprised.
African-Americans have negotiating leverage right now because President Trump needs a win. Bring him a constructive plan and see what happens.
Yes, makes sense. But first the universities need to create a department of Hip Hop, as well as add cooking meth to their chemistry curriculum. I’m sure the creative folks here can come up with other suggestions. It’s not like they’re gonna major in white-ass shit like basketweaving…
How about creating 100 more NBAs……
They already teach hip hop. Meth is for whites.
I think you mean Crack-cooking… as Iska pointed out hahaha
Or perhaps it could be soul-food cooking. It takes skill to keep chitt’lin’s from turning into shit-lin’s.
“President Obama’s presidency did a lot to diminish racial bias …………. ”
This is a joke, right?
I couldn’t get past that 1st line !!!!
I disagreed with it from the first sentence, but I soldiered on, in hopes there was a good point in there somewhere.
There wasn’t.
Mr. Scott is an utter fool if he thinks Obama’s Presidency was anything but disastrous for race relations in this country. He’s trying to pander to the left by leaving their god-idol intact while making peace offerings of free shit.
He’s not even in office and he’s already selling out. Thats impressive.
The only thing I can figure is that he had to put out something to placate the lefty smear machine, sort of like how he endorsed Hillary, tongue in cheek. Everything in this article is laughable.
I am impressed. I didn’t think it was possible to cram so much stupid into so few words.
I couldn’t finish the article.
Never made it past the first two sentences.
If I ever sustain a severe enough head injury I can always look up this article and finish reading it then.
I’m so fucking tired of the word, “free”. If you think it is, it isn’t. If you think you are, you aren’t.
This is the dumbest thing Adams has ever written. If Trump felt obliged to placate the PC crowd, he’d have picked more than one black guy and one woman for his cabinet.
“President Obama’s presidency did a lot to diminish racial bias simply because he was a black president ….” ——— from the article
HE WAS NOT A BLACK PRESIDENT!!! I feel like I’m the only person in America who still gets extremely pissed off at this fucking LIE!!! Don’t you understand that LOOKING black is not the same as BEING black? Here, do the math;
—- Mother; white
—- Father; black
What percentage black do you come up with?
Partial nigger. Half-a-cracka. Mulatto. Oreo. Cookies n’ cream. Hybrid. Halfro. —- He’s a lot of things …. but he ain’t black, goddammit!!!
Besides, if I recall correctly, wasn’t Bill Clinton considered the first black President?
Heh, heh. Methinks that Mr. Adams has gone trolling.
Yeah, Scott seems to have an ulterior motive for his BS.
Obama ignited race hostility and Scott’s 1st sentence says the opposite.
Best thing trump could do for blacks is dead stop all free shit for illegal aliens, that way we could afford moar freeshit for native born niggers and wiggers.
I am 1000% in favor of giving blacks a totally free college education.
I hereby introduce you to Stucky University Black Studies (SUBS). It is an accelerated program which can be completed with just 8 courses … each course being 16 credits, for a total of 128 credits.
Upon completion each and every student who participates (no one fails) will get a BS-B.S. (Black Studies Bachelor Science), aka double bs.
SUBS100: Going back to Africa.
SUBS200:Just Say No To Free Shit.
SUBS300: How to Pronounce “Ask”.
SUBS400: Accepting Responsibility Fo’ Yo’self.
SUBS500: J.O.B. Is Not A Word To Be Scared Of.
SUBS600: Fuck Hip-hop And Rediscover Fats Domino.
SUBS700: How Not To Say “Muthafucka” In Every Sentence.
SUBS800M: Stop Thinking With Your Dick. (for male students only)
SUBS800F: Stop Being A Fucken Skank Ho. (for female students only.)
THAT was good; very good.
Stucky, how to pronounce ask would have to be a graduate course. Degree of difficulty and all that
The perpetual victimhood of the faux African – professional malcontent – American has become very tiresome and should just fade to black already, unless of course race war is the purpose of the agenda driven #FakeNews media. To keep the race issue in the national spotlight will most assuredly cause greater splintering of a already fractured nation. Is this what the faux African and the national news media really want?
Black are only victims in their own minds.

Flash,
You are a real smartie. Thanks
Scott Adams: satire, has to be.
I hope this is a joke, because it’s total crap.
Yes, Adams is trolling you / tongue in cheek / making a joke. The payload is buried deep:
“This hypothetical plan of offering free college for African-Americans would work best if paired with student loan relief of some kind that applies to everyone.”
Right now student loan debt is not dischargeable in bankruptcy. If it were, colleges would have to be more selective about who they let in – you can’t afford to give it away to people who won’t pay for it. His subsequent sentence about making it free – he knows that cannot work, we have too much debt as it is, and colleges are already whores for Federal research funds. Making them dependent entirely on Fed money in order to make college education available to everyone would kill them entirely, once the Crunch kills pretty much all transfer payments.
It’s tough to say whether Adams wants to:
(1) Really make college education free to all – in order to hasten the Crunch / collapse / loss of faith in the currency
(2) Show how internal contradictions make ALL “free” programs from the Feds lead to the Crunch / collapse
(3) Show how African-Americans have been led by the nose by Democrats with promises of free shit forever, and show them how to get out of the trap (refuse any more free shit, learn how to live independently / without Fed handouts)
(4) See how many of his readers actually get the joke
I like Adams, he makes us think through the layers. Those who delight in picking this apart are those who can THINK for themselves, and see where the holes are.
Frankly, I’m sick of the ambiguous statements that can be reinterpreted later on. That shit is a large part of the problem we find ourselves in today. People are always allowed to give themselves wiggle room later on so that they can avoid responsibility for their words or actions, and its utter bullshit.
A guy mocked my wife for being a housewife, and she called him out on his bullshit and correctly called his empty-bed status.
“Whoa whoa, I was just kidding!”
Her response? “Bullshit. You were just being an asshole. Fuck off.”
We need more people like that. Someone being an asshole? Call them out on it. This pussy footing around has got to stop.
I actually got a lot of laughs from this piece too. It just seemed so obvious to me that he’s trolling & being sarcastic, that it all just seemed like goofy fun.
I think at the end of the day he’s really trying to say that if all these cry-baby BLM protesters would put together an actual plan of how to make things better for the black community, then maybe someone in charge would actually listen to them. But rioting thru the streets, calling for dead cops, and endlessly bitching about “white privilege” will just leave them standing there with dick-in-hand.
I think it’s his way of saying that blacks need to get their shit together without being labeled as a racist.
You are reading into it what you want because your “persuasive filter” is telling you that he is just trolling.
Lefties will read into it what they want because their “persuasive filter” is telling them that he is extending an olive branch to their side of the fight.
I don’t have time to decipher the myriad of meanings that a man can hide behind ambiguous wording. I accept their words at face value. People are too fucking obsessed with their own cleverness these days.
This bullshit is why our legal system is indecipherable, our politicians have more forked tongues than teeth, and our people have no moral compass.
TPC – That is an excellent point, Great comment.
Obama was so horrid, he is not even in the top 50 best Presidents.
The problem is the niggers have failed to assimilate.
The illegals are doing a far better job. Problem is we can’t deport the niggers.
I have to wonder what the motive is for comments like this. I am very open minded, rational and not easily offended. It was only because of that that I was able to continue returning to sites like TBP, Unz.com, and others that cater to people who are obviously more intellectual and thoughtful than the typical online commentariat of Infowars or Yahoo. Many people are intelligent and open minded enough to recognize a sound argument when it is presented objectively, and backed up with pertinent data, but not able to recognize that same argument when it is presented in a forum full of people who make comments like this. You taint the brand, to put it mildly.
I am not in any way saying that the comments should be moderated (I’m a free speech absolutist), but why don’t you just stop and think about the readers who might be visiting this site for the first time, on the recommendation of a friend, or because something clicked in their head for the first time and they realized there just might be more to the world than what they’ve been told all their life.
I would hope that most of the regular commenters here, many of whom could increase their level of tact by emulating Trump, would actually like to see their country function on its founding principles – equal standing under the law for all; the tenets of the Bill of Rights; a legal, economic and social environment that values hard work, abhors waste, and fosters innovation, self-sufficiency and self-respect; and a foreign policy of “don’t bother us and we won’t bother you”. I would hope that the regulars would really like for more (preferably everyone) to be informed as to the true costs (economic and otherwise) of a welfare state, corporate-captured government and media, and immigration/education/economic policies based on the misguided notion that all cultures, races and religions are objectively equal in every aspect.
But maybe I’m wrong, maybe you actually do *hate* entire races, and feel that they must be completely marginalized or exterminated for you to be happy and secure (I’m in not singling out Dutchman here – many of you fit the bill). If you really do feel like that, kindly please jump off the boat and let those of us who aren’t complete fucking assholes take it from here.
The reason the word nigger is so powerful is because it is so true in application. Not all black folks are violent. True. But way too many are. You wince at the broad brush statements of Dutchman yet end with one of your own. This world needs to face reality.
There are millions of black folk using the crutch of slavery and systemic racism to excuse the preponderance of violence and mayhem about in Black America. Black Lives Matter at it’s core is a writ and manifesto to get whitey. He needs to pay.
That it is accepted and excused by polite society and media is to our shame, not the Dutchman’s. It can be a little squeamish to read some of the stuff here but at end of day “keeping it real” works whole lot better than sticking head in sand and ignoring the problem. You should look past the words. Ole Woody likely has worked all his life and like me is getting a bit long in tooth and short on patience.
Call him an asshole. Maybe he is. Maybe I am too! But like me I am willing to wager that he gets up everyday, goes to work and minds his own business. If we all did that the world would have a whole lot less niggers and be way better off.
Here are some nigger stories. Enjoy!

Please do not be sanctimonious. And leave Dutchman alone, he is being pithy.
Not surprisingly, most of you missed my point entirely. I hope you enjoy the echo chamber, because that’s all this place will ever be when the “residents” lead with hostility. Which is a shame, because in general the articles themselves (the principles they espouse and the non-PC statistics and stories they contain) merit a wider audience.
I agree with a lot of what RiNS says – blacks definitely are responsible for an inordinate proportion of crime, welfare dependence, etc., – same goes for First Nations (Indians) here in Canada. And I don’t believe for a minute its my fault as a white person, or that of my white ancestors. The past is the past, and every person on this earth is accountable for their own behaviour. I am not a Pollyanna with blinders on. But I do recognize that if we want to pull our society out of this Marxist shithole that we’re in, a lot more people who currently identify as liberal (as I once did) need to learn the whole truth. When a third of the comments here contain “nigger”, “wetback”, “camel fucker” etc., its like keeping a pail of shit on your kitchen table- not a great way to get visitors to stick around for coffee and a chat.
I have a question.
Last week during a conversation with my son it came out that he was earning extra money by writing papers for students at the University near where he lives. As I have written in the past, my son opted out of a college education for a number of reasons, including the desire to live debt free, his lack of interest in the PC doctrine of the academic field, etc. He has been gainfully employed ever since he turned 18, has a lifestyle that suits him at this age, has income and savings far in excess of his peer group and is in all ways doing quite well for himself.
His business model is to be paid an upfront price and when the paper comes back to be paid a final installment that is based on the grade received. While I do not approve of the ethics of submitting your own work under another’s name, I can’t help but be struck by the irony involved in having a young man with no interest in receiving a degree doing the actual work that others are paying handsomely for while doing everything they can to negate the entire purpose of their attendance at a college.
My question is this: What is the reason for a college education? If someone wants to learn, they can do it for free. What is the gain for a business to hire someone who can be, for all intents and purposes, functionally illiterate simply because they possess a credential?
“What is the reason for a college education?”
What I find is that ‘advice’ is usually generations out of date. Yes at one time college was a way to get ahead. But with progress, and the now worthless liberal art’s degrees, ‘going to college’ is not nearly as worth while as it once was.
I have two STEM degrees, and it was worth while.
However so many people graduate from High School, that don’t know zip – they go to college to attempt to learn what they missed. I don’t think this works because you’re already to old if you ‘missed the boat’ when you were in 6th grade.
I have been trying to convince my nieces & nephew to go to trade school rather than college. This idea that everyone must be college-educated is bullshit. Just another way of enslaving people with debt.
I went to college, and while I’m grateful for some of the things I learned, I cherish the experiences I had traveling, interning, & playing rugby much more than the actual learning. Which I could have done on my own at a fraction of a percent of the price I paid then and AM STILL paying for today.
Unless you’re doing something that truly requires a degree, such as engineering or medicine or something similar, college is largely unnecessary. Most people will be better off learning a trade.
Kelly,
That is priceless that you mention Rugby…
I have to tell you how valuable Rugby is.
Anywhere in the world, (almost) you will be welcomed
into the Rugby community easily, and make friends.
My Mr. is an “old boy” and still acting pres. of his club.
After playing he went to the other roles, coach, ref. etc.
You are right. There are many skill sets far from the college
campus.
Suzanna,
It’s great to see someone else who loves rugby! Rugby provided me with some of the most wonderful people and greatest experiences of my life.
You’re completely right about the world-wide community concept.
One year way back then, 2 teammates & I traveled across the country to attend a friend’s graduation from the Naval Academy. We were gone just over a week & didn’t have to rent a hotel room for a single night b/c we were able to stay with other ruggers we had previously met at tournaments.
Always great to run into other ruggers and their lovers!
Cheers =)
I think it’s just because employers require it to get a job or because the kids believe it’s required to get a job.
In the last two months I’ve been taking over the handling or my parents affairs, and attempting to move my mother mother into assisted living. My youngest brother is taking care of our father and the hospice care people. The level of gross incompetence we both are encountering is staggering. We get the best experience from those 35 and older. Anyone younger than that is very hit and miss. I’m certain that many of them are college graduates but they can barely read or write in many cases.
I intended to post a copy of my mother’s psych eval but out of respect for her I won’t but every professional that has read it is flabbergasted by the grammar, spelling, omitted words, repetition of sentences and even sentences that do not seem to be a part of the report at all.
In my phone encounters the majority of people I encounter first are certainly from the younger generation and 80 percent of them are so useless I have no choice but to ask for a supervisor. The supervisors sound older and are far and away more competent at their jobs.
It doesn’t seem like the younger college grads are benefiting from their college education much if at all.
IS,
wishing you luck in the journey getting your parents settled.
I suppose it might not be possible to take them in to your own
home and manage their care from that base.
I never went into teaching because I made more $, and had much
flexibility in my work hours. Dear friend did teach at college for an
AD to BS nursing program. Students were a bit older, HS and “life.”
The writing was often incomprehensible…my friend shared her early
on shock with me.
Do not trust your parents to the care of imbeciles.
I feel like the STEM degrees are analogous to an apprenticeship for a trade skill. You learn the basics, and kind of how the industry works. Then, after you graduate, you go into the work force and actually build your skill set.
Other degrees, such as in business, technology, or marketing, are woefully behind the times. Honestly, even the STEM degrees are falling further and further behind because as we learn more we add another layer of complexity at every step.
I tell people “I’m a chemist” because its easier than they sorta have an idea about what that means, but that umbrella is so damned broad that its borderline useless most of the time.
There are technical educations and cultural educations at University. The technical educations are to teach you how to learn, what reality looks like and how to perform useful and intricate mathematics for a given purpose (usually to back up / make useful work out of a scientific discovery); some folks actually learn how to DO scientific discovery, which is worthwhile in itself.
The cultural educations are SUPPOSED to teach what a given culture is; where its roots came from, how it developed and what basic truths or observations are being celebrated, debated or discovered. How a given culture supports, reinforces or improves a given society; which members of that society perform what cultural functions, how they change over time and how they might be improved. A vibrant, living culture celebrates the lives the people of the society are living, gives them hope for the future and an understanding of their past. It brings the DESIRE to improve the lives within a society, teaches their morals and views of life, and WHY these things are important.
Here begins a narrower opinion: in trying to meld multiple cultures, Western Civ has lost its way and descended into incoherence and madness. We no longer have a positive, life-affirming culture and have instead a decaying, life-hating culture. Everything that is here is racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, and whatever else that insane woman was complaining about. Only pockets of this culture (like, say, country music, rural communities, isolated subcultures like the Amish) have a life-affirming outlook and practices. This cannot, will not and must not continue; only death lies this way, as evidenced by the breakdown of the black family structure, drug use, abortion, Pizzagate, the Hollywood movie industry (and the astounding numbers of drug-addled, talentless, over-wrought and under-thoughtful actors & actresses), the MIC and its endless war mindset, banksters, polsters (politician + mobster), and whoever else I forgot to mention.
And one last pass at the original HSF question (talk about thread distraction!): a business used to be able to say that a college education had equipped one to learn, to think, and to think about consequences before they became consequences. To some extent, this still applies in the hard sciences: an engineering degree (due to ABET accreditation) means that the graduate has some idea about math, thermo, science, whatever field of study they graduated in, and can read, write, calculate and think, both in critical and creative modes. In political / cultural / debased departments, it now means nothing at all.
I started reading this and thought, fuck this guy and his stupid idea. Thought it was a rotten and stinky piece of fish wrapped in buzz words. But once I got past the smell I could see the payload as James said that is buried deep in it. My takeaway is the end-date to victimhood that he is proposing. Maybe it is time to call bullshit on all this PC propaganda. Be like the local furniture store and declare a ten year tax free holiday sale.

Give them whatever the fuck they want with a proviso of a “gofuckyourselves” day circled on calender some years hence. Yeah it would suck for now but can’t be any worse than the slow bleed out we are getting today.

As for the Student loan debt thingy I would fix it by doing this.
Get rid of Government Guarantees on Loans.
If LeJohn or LaJane Doekinesha want to go to the Stucky University Black Studies. Let them!
No offense Suchenmeister. If it was up to me every dindu would have to undergo that prep school.
Besides it’s free country and you cant fix stupid.
And then make loans dis-chargeable in BK.
Institution of Higher Learning then needs to have to prove they shouldn’t be liable for default.
But for fuck sakes! make sure the paperwork on loan origination has fresh best before date.
I’d hate to see Stucky gettin’ fucked over again.

This time by the Fried Chicken Girl.
I’m glad to see that a piece that seems very comical from Scott is producing so much more comedy in the comments!
I’ve been gut-busting guffawing reading all these comments & replies! Thanks everyone for the much needed laughs.
marksmanship classes
Those of us who regularly follow his blog are waiting for the second half of the post. Those who don’t follow his blog are writing it for him.
That was a great observation.
There are always two movies playing at the Scott Adams Cineplex II.
Scott Adams has joined the comedy greats! One of the funniest articles in some time. I rolled abot, trying not to bust a gut. Just a laugh a minute. The unsubtle humor was blended with the right amount of slapstick to insure you realized what a brillant writer Adams is.
This article will be held up forever as a comedy great demonstrating how to mock someone as corrupt and destructive as Obama.
I stopped reading when free college as slavery reparations was mentioned.
1. Obama shit on his own “brand” by not delivering on any of his campaign promises.
2. Race relations are much worse now than before he took office.
3. Any reparations to Blacks would ignite a civil war, because:
4. White people are sick to death of all the racist bullshit being flung in our faces. Examples?
A. “Black lives matter”. Don’t ALL lives matter? If not why do only “Black” lives matter?
B. “Black history month”. Okay, study that if you want, but what month is “White history month”? Oh no, THAT would be racist? Well, how can that be if “Black” history month isn’t?
C. 70% of all violent crimes in the U.S. are committed by Blacks. Why do we allow this to continue?
5. Scott Adams is a douche for writing such tribble.
1. “What is the reason for a college education?” The organized, concentrated transfer of a recognized, discreet intellectual knowledge/skill set that has commercial, personal and social value when subsequently applied by a member of society.
2. What month is “White history month”? Perhaps that might be the other 11 months of the year…?
Free beer for the construction workers. Don’t waste it on college for dimwits to get no knowledge.Taught by Marxists who fail to acknowledge. they can’t do shit, but yell rascist! Fascist! Deploreable uncolleged!
” … but why don’t you just stop and think about the readers who might be visiting this site for the first time, on the recommendation of a friend, …” —– Alfred
True story. I said pretty much the same exact thing to Admin about 8+ years ago when I first started posting here.
I think he told me to fuck off. Really.
Therefore, I won’t say the same to you. (Although I’m thinking it. haha)
“Not surprisingly, most of you missed my point entirely. ” —— Alfred
You know why professional speakers have very strong opening and closing lines? Because that’s what people remember.
You closed with wishing that many members here would jump off the boat. And you called (implied) them fucking assholes.
I’m pretty sure we got your point.
