Yes, different context. But for the same idea to exist in both Adam and Freedom Georgia's peoples: self segregation.

Freedom Georgia wants a black owned town. They do it because they think of it as proxy for "safe for black people". And they think that because they see skin color as the clue to spot friend or foe.

A different context, to use the same tools (race based prejudice). Both Freedom Georgia and Adams are racists. Either being a racist is not the accusation society frames it to be, or both of them should be shunned. Neither outcome looks good...

> Adam said that black people are a hate group, based on a poll of 1000 people, and it's not safe to live close to them.

How many people would the poll need for you to find it harder to condemn Adams?
