The poll, which surveyed 1,000 people, showed that 53% of black people agreed with the statement &#8220;It&#8217;s okay to be white,&#8221; leaving 47% unable to say they agree.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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. Just get the f*** away,&#8221; Adams continued, after commenting further on race relations and crime. &#8220;Wherever you have to go, just get away. Because there&#8217;s no fixing this. This can&#8217;t be fixed. So I don&#8217;t think it makes any sense as a white citizen of America to try to help black citizens anymore. It doesn&#8217;t make sense. There&#8217;s no longer a rational impulse. So I&#8217;m going to back off on being helpful to black America because it doesn&#8217;t seem like it pays off.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Adams on Saturday morning reacted to the backlash online.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A lot of people are angry at me today but I haven&#8217;t yet heard anyone disagree.
