“I judge people on an individual level and try to avoid stereotyping people since I resent being stereotyped myself.”

You’re not allowed to do that in today’s America. If you’re a company, a university, an organization an agency you are forced by law and by our current culture to have a “proportional representation” of blacks.

And if you did treat everyone based on merit with absolutely no discrimination, which group do you think would end up disproportionately at the lower rungs of the economic ladder, have the more menial jobs, do poorer at school?

And what do you think the reaction of the majority of people in that group would be on noticing such disparities, especially when constantly told that on average all races are the same? Who will they point to as their oppressors?

Might they start raising hell and demand “equity”?

And what about the easily guilted, pathological compassionate whites, the delusional ones who insist all races are on AVERAGE the same. Won’t they clamor for equality and look to disadvantage their own race to achieve that end?

Is that not the world we’re living in?

And how did we get here? All our racial problem stem from accepting one false assumption - that all races on AVERAGE are the same. And the trait that is most different between whites and blacks that leads to these big difference in group performance is the group’s AVERAGE IQ... the elephant in the room everyone avoids like the plague.

It is the main reason why, at a SOCIETAL (not individual) level, blacks and whites have not been able to peacefully coexist together, nor will they ever. All you have to do is look at history and the present anywhere in the world.

Solution? Separate the two groups and let each determine their destinies as they see fit - kinda the way the world used to be. It’s best for both sides.

“I’m still trying to figure out why people are pissed at him. All he did was say out loud what most people, white,black, brown, red ,yellow know to be true.”

Exactly my feeling. I’m glad someone with a wide audience had the balls to say it out loud. Maybe this will start the ball rolling, like the boy did in “The Emperor’s New Clothes”.

It’s criminal that the fine black people in this country are getting chewed up in Obama’s race war. We were making real progress towards a color blind society before that Ahole was installed. I’m not sure which is going to crash first, this whole “blacks are superior” thing, or the society of the United States.

“Does he really think all black people should be written off because a certain % of them are racist?”

“They” have behaved so despicably that what Adams said should be our default mode. They have brought this on themselves. If the decent ones have a problem with the new default mode then they need to call out the racist activist blacks.

The conversion has to be managed from the inside.

Watched as much of this interview of Adams by Hotep Jesus as OGINJ could stand in an attempt to get to the right perspective on what Adams is doing (Today, in his personal live stream, Adams recommended that interested individuals watch this interview of him by Hotep Jesus in order to get the necessary “context”):

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oeFA-n3SMRw

Adams wants to be perceived as having his tongue firmly planted in his cheek.

Adams wants to be perceived as being intentionally provocative.

Adams wants to be perceived as employing satire.

Adams is left wing.

Adams flatly opposes CRT.

Adams claims, without irony, to support affirmative action for minority, so-called disadvantaged, groups, including most notably blacks.

Adams is, once again, without a hint of irony, strongly recommending that young blacks who wish to set themselves up for success take full advantage of affirmative action, by exploiting EID initiatives at fortune 500 companies. In this way he seem as if, were he asked, he would promptly confess, with the straightest of faces, to be a personal admirer of Kamala Harris, and if anyone else who freely takes what is on offer for any and all reasons having nothing to do with individual merit, honesty and integrity.

Adams is, for example, not recommending that young blacks eschew affirmative action and pursue a career defined not by skin color but by the content of one’s character, a lá, for example, Clarence Thomas.

Adams is nakedly playing footsie with Hotep Jesus, who, if the 45 minutes this commenter managed to get through is sufficient to convey his basic perspective, is flat out saying that blacks, if they know what’s good for themselves, should hew to their own (that is, radically self-segregate) in an unapologetic and un-self-conscious group effort to seek and obtain economic and social power in the medium and long term, race relations as a goal, in and of itself, be damned.

Adams could, by saying, with a straight face as a white man, that he 100% supports affirmative action, quotas and EID for blacks and other minorities, in order to convey that he 100% opposes those very same things, at least when it comes to the long term. But he is leaning almost 100% in the direction of sarcasm.

Sarcasm is is a low art that intelligent adults know id much more likely to yield chaos and destruction in the medium term than understanding and cooperation in the short term.

Bottom line is, Adams may think he is being satirical and productive, when in reality he is being sarcastic and destructive. In thinking he is among the best at cooking up and delivering satire, when in fact he is only delivering sarcasm, he is nothing better than a modern-day Alanis Morissette, who in her time thought she was remarking on irony, but instead was cataloging mere coincidences.

Also, for what it’s worth, Adams, by saying he’s “left wing”, and by saying he’s “liberal”, is virtue signaling. He’s too old to get away with saying such things. Dig Winston Churchill up and ask him—he’ll tell you the same thing.

“If I see a group of blacks, especially young blacks, I go the other direction.”
******************************************************

I can understand the fear many people have towards young black men, the statistics speak for themselves. But I would take issue with Scott’s percentages as to how many blacks hate whites. Having grown up poor myself living in a neighborhood that became predominately black, attending a H.S. that was 93% black, ect I’ve come to know many black people well, I would estimate the number of blacks who just hate all whites is just a small fraction of their population, certainly not 50%. I’ve had a black guy literally save my life once, and have had several black friends who have helped me out over the years doing various favors for me. That’s not to say there aren’t some very dangerous people lurking around the ‘hood, just that it’s not right to be lumping them all together like Scott seems to be doing, it’s offensive and unfair.

I’ve never been racist myself, it goes against my principles and beliefs. And I’m a lot more comfortable around black people than the average white person, and I think that has a lot to do with it. Many blacks interpret blanket fear of them as meaning that the person is racist, and respond differently when they see you are comfortable with them. I blame the leftist media for pushing all this victim crap and identity politics. Blacks and whites have their issues, but there would not be this degree of hostility if the left and the media would just quit fomenting it.

*************************************************

I think we’re already past the point of where that’s a realistic solution, if you mean some sort of legally enforced strict segregation according to race. First of all there’s a lot more than just “two groups” to consider, there is in fact many groups. What society seems to have settled on is economic segregation, which means if you want to live in a safe and decent area around respectable people, you need to be middle class and up.

“I think we’re already past the point of where that’s a realistic solution”

I grant you it would not be easy, but where there’s a will there is a way. There are a lot of black separatists that would support this. Also it’s not hard to make the case - most blacks think whites are congenital, unredeemable racists and most whites are generally not too fond of blacks, so why keep this dysfunctional marriage going?

The alternative is continued subjugation of whites to every black demand to achieve the impossible delusion of “equity”.

So the question is how much degradation are whites willing to submit to before they rise up and say “ENOUGH”!!

And to be clear, I don’t consider blacks to be our worst enemy - the worst by far are leftist whites who use blacks to guilt the rest of us into submission (see my tag line). It’s a symbiotic relationship where both benefit from the other.

“What society seems to have settled on is economic segregation, which means if you want to live in a safe and decent area around respectable people, you need to be middle class and up.”

Segregation will definitely not work. That’s what we have right now and it’s a dysfunctional hell and will only get worse.

And they’ve already passed laws to eliminate segregated neighborhoods. As Rush used to say, they’ll bring the ‘hood to you.

Hate to say it, because it won’t be pretty, but sooner or later sane whites have to face the music, or they’ll end groveling, pathetic third class citizens.

"Blacks are pushing for segregation, give it to them."

No.

We settled that argument on April 9, 1865.

They can't have any piece of OUR country. Assimilate as an American or move out. Delta is ready when you are, as they say.

That is actually one of the primary points he was making today. They only reason people are mad is because he said something everyone knows to be true, but can't/won't say themselves.

Well said. The Left creates division. Then, the Right falls into their trap by reacting. It's a viscous cycle.

>"Many blacks interpret blanket fear of them as meaning that the person is racist..."<

So true. I've been misunderstood many times myself. People jump to conclusions about other people all the time.

Chris Rock was slapped by Will Smith at the oscars when he made a mild joke about smith’s wife. Behavioral problems:
