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.
