I suppose it depends on what one considers a racist to be. Some people think that it's a person who believes that their race is superior. I don't know that Adams thinks that. His statement, in saying to avoid all black people because of a poll in which half say something also stupid and racist, is certainly a racist notion. Like you said, what about the other half?This isn’t indicative of Adams being a racist per se. An Identitarian, definitely. If the poll says that almost half of blacks say this, that means the other half doesn’t. What about them? But no, he’s saying blacks are a hate group. All of them. Because less than a majority might feel that way.
I am kind of taken aback about people rushing to defend or minimize his statements. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised in today's political climate.
