Newspapers pulled Adams's 'Dilbert' comics and the left thundered its umbrage after Adams reacted to a poll suggesting significant bigotry among black respondents.
We know that the left is always looking for an opportunity to silence those who challenge their groupthink. Their target isn’t only conservatives but anybody who disagrees with their worldview even in the slightest possible way.
They left lives in the hope that contrarians to their groupthink will either misspeak or express a nuanced and detailed idea that can be extracted, stripped of context, and made to appear bigoted. This gives them reason to mount a social media campaign and initiate cancellation.
Yesterday it was satirist and thinker Scott Adams's turn to be cancelled.
USAToday announced that it would stop publishing Adams's "Dilbert" cartoon because they ‘lead with inclusion and strive to maintain a respectful and equitable environment for the diverse communities we serve nationwide.’
Cleveland’s Plain Dealer newspaper also decided not to publish any of Adam’s cartoons.
John Hiner of MLive Media in Michigan wrote in an editorial, “We will work quickly to find a replacement that will entertain you and not violate basic standards of decency and respect for others.”
Many other outlets followed and did away with Adams.
Adams has been producing Dilbert for three decades and they are seen as a devastatingly satirical commentary on workplace policies.
What did Scott Adams do such that he merited cancellation?
Adams become a nationwide trending topic after he said that black people are "a hate group and I don't want to have anything to do with them."
He also said the following:
"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."

USAToday and most papers print cartoons that are opening hateful toward Trump and the millions of people who voted for him.
I guess half the American people aren’t included
in their ‘inclusive’ theology.
Eff ‘em.
Well said.
And it was weird.
Then again, he was a leftist for a long time, so he's always viewed people as groups (not as individuals).
In his video, he said, "So, I'm going to back off from being helpful to black America..." and "I've been doing it all my life..."
Right there is the problem with leftists. They convince themselves that entire groups of people need their help. They don't view other people as their equals. Then, something happens, and they hate an entire group.
I encourage all to watch his interview with Hotep Jesus where he explains the context of what he is doing.

“The story has bifurcated into two realities. This one is from the people who have not viewed the Hotep Jesus podcast from yesterday. See my pinned tweet.”

Okay, I’m watching now, though I don’t know who “Hotep Jesus” is...
Thanks for the link. I’ll continue to pray that we don’t choose Civil War, Race War, or worse.
Thanks again. I listened to as much as I could and then stopped.
My impression is that Scott Adams is an egotist. He seems to crave attention.
