"The comic book creator also said that white people should stop trying to help black people and cited a poll that found only 53 percent of black people agree with the phrase “it’s okay to be white.”"
Last I checked, 42 + 11 = 53.
This board isn't the "land of you can decide how you want to read it", handshake.
Well you have a poll with an unusually high % of non responders. That number is high across White, Black and Other. You have a pollster with a history of click bait results who uses non standard polling techniques that he largely refuses to explain. You have a total of around 130 Black responders which would give the results to that particular question a massive +/- variable. You are looking at a 26% negative response from Blacks. You are looking at a total 12% negative response from all Americans and a total 12% negative response from Democrats, which doesn't fit any narrative.
Like I say, you can decide how you want to read it, but it seems more like a Rorschach test than a poll to me, and a sad little hill to die on.
You should look up the poll. It never said anything like Adams claims.
It said exactly what he claimed.

There is the poll. You can decide how you want to read it.

That's not the poll. That's their reply to a reply to a reply of the poll.
Here's the original poll post:

"But a majority of all Americans (72%) agree with the statement, including 53% of black adults, and 69% of Democrats."
And yes, that 53% is literally exactly what Scott Adams quoted, verbatim.
