It's ignorant, and segregationist, and certainly after skipping around his videos the guy is clearly a nutjob, but it's odd that this is what sparked all the outrage. Is this really the worst thing he's said?

Nah, he's been going at it for ages, just in more subtle words. I guess this is the first time he said some things directly enough and as you said, being openly ignorant of real issues.

I'm pretty sure he said he was proud of his step-son for killing himself since the only 2 ways to deal with mental health issues in America are suicide and school shootings. That man sure has opinions. edit : I got it slightly wrong, he's saying parents of people with mental health issues have two choices : killing their own kids or watch people die Somehow that's worse https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1544679510674587648 https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/154467951067458764...

Wait. You're saying that he's being ignorant and segregationist, for not wanting to spend time with people who don't think it's okay for him to be the race he was born as? That's absurd. It is okay to be white. It is okay to be black. It is okay to be any race, creed, color, sex, or orientation. Anyone who says otherwise is a bigot. And no, it isn't segregationist not to want to spend time with people who are bigoted toward you.

  No; It's not okay. All those you listed are humans, and humans are bad. Praise Gaia.

  Because a minority of black people responded negatively to a poll question about a racist, dog whistle phrase, Adams now considers black people a hate group. And he recommends white people avoid black people. Sounds like segregation to me.

      Pro tip, statements can carry meaning beyond the literal interpretation of the constituent words.

  He said that he identified as black until he read the poll, which made him turn back to identifying as white. I'm... struggling... to interpret that any way that's not ignorant at best.

  You are misrepresenting what he said. He said he wants to avoid all black people not just the subset of black people that he's flimsily accusing of holding racist beliefs.

  > And no, it isn't segregationist not to want to spend time with people who are bigoted toward you. 26% of black people who responded to one poll said they disagreed with "It's okay to be white" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_okay_to_be_white) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_okay_to_be_white). His reaction to this, was to say that all white people should avoid all black people. This one poll is not evidence that all black people are bigoted toward all white people. It's not even evidence that all 26% of the people who disagreed with a inane 4chan prank endorsed and spread by white supremacists are bigoted toward all white people.
