Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a miracle. There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community. Yes, you are a donkey. The latest on that police killing of a black man. Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage. And yesterday was a really bad day for him and this is what he did. And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay, white supremacist violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society.
Starting point is 00:00:29 But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. To the breakfast club, bitches. Alright, Charlene, please tell me, why was I your donkey of the day? Yeah, it's donkey of the day for Monday, February 27th goes to Scott Adams. Do y'all know who Scott Adams is? No, not familiar. Well, he's the creator of the syndicated comic script Dilbert. Do y'all know who Scott Adams is? No. Not familiar. Well, he's the creator of the syndicated comic script Dilbert. Do y'all know Dilbert?
Starting point is 00:00:48 Yes, I remember Dilbert. Okay. Well, the Washington Post, LA Times, a bunch of newspapers around the country carry Dilbert. Well, they did. They don't anymore because Scott Adams, for whatever reason, decided to post a video online urging white people to get the hell away from black people. Okay, I'm not making any of this up. Let's go to CBS News for the report, please.
Starting point is 00:01:06 Newspapers across the country have pulled the long-running Dilbert comic strip after a racist rant from cartoonist Scott Adams. In a video posted to YouTube this week, Adams called black Americans members of a, quote, hate group, saying white people should stay away from them. Adams has written Dilbert for three decades. Would you like to hit a racist rant? Yeah. Yeah. All right. Let's listen to it. Let's go. This is the first political poll that ever
Starting point is 00:01:31 changed my activities. I don't know that that's ever happened before. But as of today, I'm going to re-identify as white because I don't want to be a member of a hate group. I've accidentally joined a hate group. So if nearly half of all blacks are not okay with white people, according to this poll, not according to me, according to this poll, that's a hate group. That's a hate group. And I don't want to have anything to do with them. And I would say, based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from black people. Just get the fuck away.
Starting point is 00:02:11 Wherever you have to go, just get away. There's no fixing this. This can't be fixed. Well, it can be fixed. And damn, I buried the lead. Scott was transracial. I forgot to tell you. Transracial.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Transracial. He said he identifies as black. I'm re-. Scott was transracial. I forgot to tell y'all that. Transracial? Transracial. He said he identifies as black. I'm re-identifying as black, too. Yeah, he said. What did he say you identify as now? Because what did he identify as? He said he identifies as white. Let me hear him.
Starting point is 00:02:36 So I realized, as you know, I've been identifying as black for a while. Okay. Years now. Because I like to be on the winning team. And I like to help. And I always thought always thought well if you help the black community okay that's sort of the biggest lever you know you could you can find the the biggest benefit so I thought well that's the hardest thing and the biggest benefit so I'd like to focus a lot of my life resources in helping black Americans so much so that I started identifying as black
Starting point is 00:03:06 to just be on the team I was helping. But it turns out that nearly half of that team doesn't think I'm okay to be white. So you can identify for whatever you want? That's what I'm saying. You're late.
Starting point is 00:03:23 I'm going to try that. when i get pulled over next time i mean this is obviously a old crazy man like he's old and senile so i really don't i'm not even taking it seriously at all i think we should take it serious i think we should take it serious only reason i think we should take it serious because i hear white people like scott adams talk like this it makes me feel like he has no concept of history whatsoever like no knowledge of white racial supremacy and colonization because Scott I don't know if you know but black people have way more reasons to fear white people than white people have to fear us okay the only thing white people could possibly be afraid of in regards to black people is black people one day having the type of power and privilege they have and doing to them what they
Starting point is 00:04:03 have done to countless marginalized groups for centuries so you know scott adams isn't just calling for segregation he's calling for separation yeah the honorable elijah muhammad would agree okay but once again and this is just historical fact white people have caused more hell on this planet for everybody than anybody and you can't hear what you don't reveal so So this newfound playing the victim, this white grievance thing that's happening is nuts to me. Black grief should not lead to white grievance because we have every single reason to grieve. Now, can we also talk about self-destruction and self-sabotage? Because we're not talking about that in this situation. Dilwood was published daily in 2,000 newspapers in 65 countries in 25 languages.
Starting point is 00:04:43 And now it's been canceled by hundreds of newspapers because scott adams woke up and said you know what i'm gonna do today i'm gonna just go on a racist tirade against black people i'm gonna go defcon 3 on black people for no reason all right called black people a hate group why yeah why because we hated slavery because we hate the fact that there has been no atonement for slavery because we hate systemic racism why wouldn't a black person hate the fact that from birth to death we face systemic disadvantages okay inequality between blacks and whites persist in every single aspect of society okay and the economy why wouldn't we hate that all right no matter what laws and policies have been created to address these systemic disadvantages it still has left black people
Starting point is 00:05:24 with less education less wealth poorer, and shorter lifespans. And we're not supposed to hate that. Now, I can't speak for all black people, okay? No black person can. But personally, I don't hate white people, but I do hate white supremacy. And I really hate white grievance, especially when the white grievance paints black people as the problem. What's that African proverb? Until the lion learns how to write,
Starting point is 00:05:45 every story will glorify the Dilbert. That's how it goes? There's something to that effect. I believe. There's something to that effect. Scott, you call black people a hate group, but think about all these wide gaps I just mentioned. They exist because of slavery, segregation, and discrimination.
Starting point is 00:05:57 I haven't even mentioned things like the war on drugs, police brutality. I mean, come on, bro. Hate and racial injustice does not make black people a hate group. But Scott, you know this. You're just racist. Simple and plain. Okay, you are white supremacist.
Starting point is 00:06:08 And white separatism is a concept every neo-Nazi white nationalist talks about all the time. So knock it off. Knock it off before we send Dr. Umar on you. A thousand layers. A thousand? Just a thousand? Exactly. Just a thousand?
Starting point is 00:06:23 Ten thousand. Ten. Okay. Because he on the way. He coming for you. Please give Scott Adams the big... Well, matter of fact, let Chelsea Handler give Scott Adams the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw.
Starting point is 00:06:34 That is way too much Dan Mayonnaise. I think Kathy Griffin need to get in on this, too. Please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest hee-haw. No Chris Rock? I ain't heard from Mr. Chris Rock in a while, either. Cracker-haw. No Chris Rock? I ain't heard from Mr. Chris Rock in a while either. Cracker ass, cracker. Oh. Yeah, he need all of them.
Starting point is 00:06:50 What about my girl? Cracker. Hey, man. Are you offending DJ Envy? Because remember you just said that you're in trends. Woof. I'll give that dog. I identify as a dog. just said that you're trans. Woof! Identifies a dog.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Since we can switch it up whatever we want. Big yellow beige dog. Envy the big beige dog. Oh, that could be a great children's book. That would. The big beige dog. Oh my goodness. We can get a clip of the record as money. Rashawn, the big beige
Starting point is 00:07:25 dog. Oh my God, I'm messing with y'all. That could be dope. You put some Timbs on him and a Yankees hat. Not the butters. That would be amazing. Not the butters. Speaking of corny, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. We want to know
Starting point is 00:07:41 what's your definition of corny? And ladies, would you date a quote-unquote corny guy? We'll get into the reasons why. Is this rooted in what L'Oreal and Michael B. Jordan had going on this weekend? Yeah, we got to get into it when we come back. We got some bills to pay. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
