The report found that 72% of the respondents agreed, including 53% who are Black, according to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2023\/02\/26\/1159580425\/newspapers-have-dropped-the-dilbert-comic-strip-after-a-racist-rant-by-its-creat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NPR<\/a>. Adams cited the poll to emphasize his belief that racial tensions in America &#8220;can&#8217;t be fixed.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If nearly half of all Blacks are not OK with White people \u2026 that&#8217;s a hate group,&#8221; he declared. &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to have anything to do with them. 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 &#8230; because there is no fixing this.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adams, who has publicly embraced right-wing ideology in recent years, said he&#8217;s no longer helping Black Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It turns out that nearly half of that team doesn&#8217;t think I&#8217;m okay to be white,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I&#8217;m going to back off from being helpful to Black America because it doesn&#8217;t seem like it pays off&#8230; I get called a racist. That&#8217;s the only outcome. It makes no sense to help Black Americans if you&#8217;re white. It&#8217;s over. Don&#8217;t even think it&#8217;s worth trying.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday, Adams discussed a poll from the conservative group Rasmussen Reports that surveyed 1,000 Americans with the question: &#8220;Do you agree or disagree with&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":69294,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-69291","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-government","wpcat-1-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wikidean.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69291","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wikidean.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wikidean.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wikidean.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wikidean.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=69291"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/wikidean.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69291\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":69296,"href":"https:\/\/wikidean.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69291\/revisions\/69296"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wikidean.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/69294"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wikidean.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=69291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wikidean.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=69291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wikidean.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=69291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
