Adams claimed Black Americans were a hate group and that white people should "get the hell away".
As to ICE deporting criminal aliens, that's not what they're doing. They're kidnapping people off the street and out of their homes and cars, with no warrants. They're literally doing "Papers, please" style stops of anybody they even suspect could be an immigrant, including Native Americans. Just a few days ago in Minneapolis they abducted four homeless men who are members of the Oglala Nation. This all sounds pretty Gestapo like to me.
- messe 8mo ago> They're kidnapping people off the street and out of their homes and cars Don't forget the murder.
- oceanplexian 8mo agoThat's not what he said, that's his take being presented through a media filter. His comments were in response to a Rasmussen Reports poll that asked people if they agreed with the statement "It's OK to be white". Around 26% of Black respondents disagreed (with some unsure), which Adams interpreted as meaning nearly half of Black Americans were not OK with white people. Is it reductive? Sure. Is it racist? Of course not. You're allowed to have opinions on the Internet as long as you treat others with respect.
- sanktanglia 8mo agoIf you have reductive views of entire races that is literally the definition of racism

- RickJWagner 8mo agoA few questions, please. Was Obama’s use of ICE also kidnapping, in your eyes? For reference material, please read the ACLUs papers on their site. No ICE agent has been indicted for kidnapping. Can you explain why? ( Remember, they have been doing this for many years, under presidents of both parties ).
- sanktanglia 8mo agoYou are asking why the fascist administration isn't holding its own secret police accountable
- RickJWagner 8mo agoAre the secret police any different than when Obama used them? The ACLU has a series of papers written when Obama was in office. They claim violence, lack of due process, illegal grabs, etc. Why be upset now but not then? If you condemn Obama as well as Trump, I applaud your integrity. If you condemn only one, I question your motives.
- sanktanglia 8mo agoThey are absolutely different. They flagrantly deny the courts and are going door to door and harassing and detaining a higher percentage of people without criminal background. The scale and brazenness(and also the end game, this is 1 year into trump) of this administration is in no way comparable to Obamas and to claim otherwise is ridiculous
- RickJWagner 8mo agoRead this. https://www.aclu.org/news/immigrants-rights/border-patrol-was-monstrous-under-obama-imagine https://www.aclu.org/news/immigrants-rights/border-patrol-wa... Then google ‘Obama ICE ACLU’. The search results alone will show you that Obama did indeed act very much like Trump. The cited paper alone tells you this. If you are sincere about this, I urge you to look at it and give it fair consideration. You simply cannot excuse Obama while condemning Trump.
- sanktanglia 8mo agoAt no point did I excuse Obama. I said the scale and horror are not the same. Trump scaled up the budget and number of employees, lowered the requirements to enter and actively encouraged(and supported at the supreme court) to bring back racial profiling. These 2 administrations are in now way comparable
- account42 8mo agoWhat do you think deporting means? Kindly asking people to show up at the airport??? What the US is doing is exactly the same as it works in most other countries - the west's tolerance of illegal immigration in recent years is very very very far from the norm.
