I think Adams should have kept his mouth shut. If not, he should have been much more precise in how he examined the poll and analyzed the implications. I remember ten years ago taking a black college professor out on a rather fancy date. I thought we had a nice time. As I was walking her to her car from the restaurant, she said, out of the blue, “I hate white people.” I was startled. She went on to recommend several books about whiteness. I read them. I didn’t agree. And I never called saw her again. A statement like hers fits in with Adams’ poll, I think, and it is problematic. It’s hard for everyone to get along when their starting point is a stated hatred of an entire group.

Adam's didn't take the poll... It was Rasmussen...
