Wow. Jane Elliott and Adam and others are so spot on when it comes to speaking about race relations!! Have you noticed how the dissenters that write in, sound as if they are 6th grade dropouts?? They can't even construct a sentence with proper grammar and punctuation, let alone, make a valid point! Intelligence surely plays a part in this discussion ! It's so sad that so many are lacking! It's such a sad time in our history that this inequality is still so rampant!

It's such a sad time in our history that this inequality is still so rampant! I don't know. I think it is more a lack of heart than a lack of mind. Treat others as you want to be treated is pretty basic, and does not require IQ, but does require a good heart. Many people who are not very smart can still have their heart in the right place.
Maybe some originally got taken in by a smack-talking-HeWhoCannot amed and all the propaganda that was sent to them via Facebook and other platforms without other parts of America even knowing what was happening back in 2015-16, but now, all this is quite visibly out in the open, and it does not take a high IQ to sort it out. But a stone cold heart can be misled and used.
Most of the people who responded negatively to Adam, are not his core fan base. He put his foot down and made clear that he is not THAT eager to please, and not easily cowed by their silly threats. I still feel for him today though, such a night of tweets does not leave you unscathed. It eats away at you.
Sending good vibes and good words his way the best I know how. Letting him know that his actual fans are with him.
What a world.

I agree with Adam in innumerable ways on all these issues. But having witnessed the violence in downtown Chicago on my local TV station for the past few days, I realize how difficult it is to sort out the rioters and looters from others milling around in the area of disruption. It's not that easy. And the looters and thieves add up to more than "a few." The police have quick choices to make between physically taking hold of someone and maybe just letting some actions go in order to preserve safety for the most people possible. Decisions are hard to make amid all the chaos.
I admire Adam's courage in speaking out and standing by his beliefs.

I reported these tweets a few minutes ago after TALC posted on Twitter. Why in the world people feel the need to post this kind of thing is beyond me.
I agree with everything Adam is saying and respect him so much for speaking up.
I have felt terrible about all this the last couple of days. This is the least I could do to report this stuff and support Adam any way I can. I sent him a couple of replies. Hopefully some good will come from all of this.
Meantime I need some relief so I'm watching Worst Cooks in America.

Things are bizarre that's for sure.

As far as "fans", I don't think you can follow this man for 10 years, "meet" the people he hangs out with, parties with, learn his heart, and how he thinks about the world in general...and then be surprised that he spoke out or be surprised about what he said.
