Is there a transcript of what he said somewhere?

“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 … because there is no fixing this.” seems a bit stronger.

Sure, it was a whole podcast. 2 hours IIRC.

Millions of black people in America disagree that it's OK to be white. And that makes them a hate group, by the left's own definition. Adams exposed this, and all over social media the left is trying to backpedal and softpedal it.

Anything that doesn't have a rainbow flag is a hate group for the left lol

Not exactly. Disagreeing with the statement "It’s OK to be white" could be derived from a knowledge of the recent history of the phrase, and not an anti-white hate opinion.

Did he say 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 … because there is no fixing this.?

It's just that.

It's not OK to be white.

Would you want to be around people like that? Who believe it's not OK to be what you are? Would black people want to be around people who think it's not OK to be black? Is such a withdrawal rational?

Everyone is asserting that it is. And they're right.

Would you want to be around people like that?

The statement "It's OK to be white" was taken up by neo-nazis (and 4chan) to bait the left. It is associated with the KKK and David Duke. It is associated with swastikas carved into pumpkins.

The phrase has a recent history that if people are aware of, they would disagree with the statement. Lots of statements are like that. "Heil Hitler" is offensive because we know who Hilter was.

Would you want to be around people like that? Who believe it's not OK to be what you are?

You're conflating disagreeing with the statement, which is likely about the recent history of the statement, and an anti-white hate. They're not the same. The statement is loaded.

Would black people want to be around people who think it's not OK to be black?

Being around isn't the opposite of "get the hell away from ... just the the fuck away, because there's no fixing this". The latter reads a lot more like advocating apartheid.

It's OK to be white. If you disagree, you're a racist and a member of a hate group. It is foolish to stay around a hate group that targets you because of your skin color.

[–]ActuallyNot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

The phrase is more loaded than that. Some people will recognise it as a slogan of the white supremacist movement.

Is it OK to be white?

For a lot of people, it's not. They tell us, all the time, quite openly and don't get banned for it. It's a hate movement, and who would stick around with people who hate you?

Who?

It's a hate movement,

What is?

As it turns out, the people telling us It's OK to be white is evil are the ADL.

Jews.

There it is again. Jews leading others in anti-white hate. What a surprise.

The poll that got his tits in a knot said that 26% of black people disagreed with the 4Chan statement "It's OK to be white", and another 21% were unsure. This means that 53% agreed.

Adams is of course entitled to his opinions, but a clear plurality of black people either said they agreed or at least weren't in opposition to the statement. But then, this is a bullshit question in the first place, designed only to further divide people. In my opinion Adams fell right into their trap.

The link to the time in his video talking about it is in this article.

Here's his followup to the fallout.

Congrats to 4Chan, BTW. The asshole of the internet owns the media once again.

The poll never said anything about 4chan. It asked if they agreed with the statement it's ok to be white. Period. 4chan is irrelevant to the statement. You either agree with it or you don't. It's the ADL that claims no one can say it's ok to be white, supposedly because some people on 4chan said it.

How about an anti white Jewish lobby group doesn't get to dictate what people are allowed to say about whites, and what whites are allowed to say about themselves?

That's true. I was editorializing.

4chan is irrelevant to the statement.

Also true. However, 4chan is hilarious. Which is the only reason I mentioned it.

How about an anti white Jewish lobby group...

I don't really care about ADL one way or the other.

You forgot to include the Rasmussen poll details that he cited.

"I've never been in this neighborhood before. There could be niggers anywhere." The cool wind felt good against Scott's bare chest. "I HATE niggers" he thought. Sweet Dreams are Made of These reverberated his den, making it pulsate even as the $9 coffee circulated through his powerful thick veins and washed away his (merited) fear of minorities after dark. "With a podcast, you can say anything you want" he said to himself, out loud.
