I watched the video.

"It's okay to be white" has been embraced by White Supremacists. It was a loaded question and not a useful poll.

Ad Fontes Media rates Rasmussen Reports in the Skews Right category of bias and as Reliable, Analysis/Fact Reporting in terms of reliability.

A poll asked if it’s ‘OK to be white.’ Here’s why the phrase is loaded.

Adams used a biased, dog-whistle phrase to make racist statements. I hope more people will respond, in case you actually want to learn how not to be racist, but I'm so tired of this.

Or you could actually, you know, watch the video and see what he said in his own words, but that would force you to do some actual thinking and analysis so why would you. It’s so much easier to grab a pitchfork like everyone else.

Again I ask, why is it your opinion that black people should be forced to cohabitate with a community of 50% white supremacists?

Last week I started my new job driving a person that works for the state.

I said to her "I forgot to clean the backup camera" as I was backing out

her reply "this car has a backup camera!"

Me "yes it does, don't you see it?!"

Her "no I don't, I'm blind"

Me crickets

I drive a visually Impaired worker for the state and I keep forgetting 🤦‍♂️

Lolol. You don’t understand sea lioning either so I don’t expect you to understand much. Especially racism.

“If 52% of a group of people think you shouldn’t exist then you should probably avoid that group.”

That’s the point you’re pretending to oppose. And you’re doing a horrible job at it.

That’s exactly what you are doing by not addressing any of his points. You have no argument, just a desire to signal that you’re one of the “good white people”. Got news for ya: 52% of black people still think you’re evil and shouldn’t exist. If you were intellectually honest, you’d address that, like he did.

You haven’t stated a single fact or even an opinion. So yeah, you’re just engaging in empty virtue signaling. Give me actual facts or opinions about what he said (you didn’t even listen to it), and then we can have a discussion.
