Thanks for this analysis. You address the subject in a calm non sensational way. Adams is a professional entertainer of course through his cartoons; maybe some of the problem here is he is attempting to frame himself as a serious cultural and political commentator but without being willing to do sufficient research? For example thinking that Trump’s border wall is the best way of stopping the Fentanyl trade.He takes a horrific complex issue and applies an almost childlike solution. Did you see the interview with Hotep Jesus (aka Bryan Sharpe)? Adams found a reasonably sympathetic ear even when he said he had identified as black. So in a strange way the interview actually undermined his call to “get the hell away from black people”. Most artists want attention and Adams made reference to the benefits of being provocative. Prejudice and discrimination are serious issues; it is important to break down barriers between different ethnic and cultural groups to build a stronger society. Adams’ provocation was not helpful particularly bearing in mind many people won’t carefully analyze his remarks.
