Laid off: Newspapers drop office cartoon 'Dilbert' over creator's racial remarks
FOX NEWS ^ | February 25, 2023 | Peter Aitken

Multiple newspapers have pulled the popular office comedy comic strip "Dilbert" after its creator Scott Adams made racist comments in his podcast, and then doubled down on them.

"If nearly half of all Blacks are not okay with White people – according to this poll, not to me – that’s a hate group," Adams said during his "Coffee with Scott Adams" vlog, referring to a Rasmussen poll published this week. "That’s a hate group, and I don’t want anything to do with them."

"And I would say, based on the current way things are going, the best advice I can give to White people is to get the hell away from Black people," he continued, adding, "There is no fixing this … you just have to escape," which he said was why he moved to his current neighborhood that has "a very low Black population."

The poll that Adams cited asked two questions: (1) Do you agree or disagree with this statement: "It’s OK to be white," (2) Do you agree or disagree with this statement: "Black people can be racist, too." The poll found that 26% of Black respondents said "no" to the first question, and 21% said they weren’t sure, which Adams concluded meant 47% had a negative response.

Scott Adams has plenty of F.U. money. It's not going to hurt him.

What’s that saying… “In a time of universal deceit, speaking the truth is a revolutionary act…”

It’s a shame the loudest and angriest of those in the black community, as well as cynical leftwing whites, have brought things to this point.

But it was inevitable, its become a matter of self preservation.

Yep, he doesn’t care anymore. He went scorched Earth.

I knew that Scott Adams was in trouble, but I didn’t know why. Thanks for posting this.

Anyway, I thought Adams was smarter than this. We all know that liberals can say whatever they want. No problem! But should a conservative (or even a middle-of-the-roader) stray an inch, all hell will break loose.

I hope Adams has lots of money socked away. Because his top earning years are probably over.

How does 12% of the population have majority control over society?

Nope. Probably the first many will hear of thus story is when they open their paper and can’t find “Dilbert.”

Some things are more important than money.

I could have just seen you during the Revolutionary War times. “Don’t say that the British might hear. You might lose your job”

Pathetic.

we all know blacks cannot be racists

because racism is about power

and there are no black people in powerful positions

oh wait

The most interesting thing is that Adams is NOT a racist.

I used to listen to him every morning [Coffee With Scott Adams] for several years. He bent over backwards to interact with those who should be avoided.

This exposes our enemies for what they are - liars who would kill any of us in an instant if they could get away with it.

And the point where they can get away with it is closer than we think.

He’s smart, just ahead of the pack. Might hurt feeling and not PC but he’s merely orating the obvious. The rift of racism, CRT, demands to be recompensed and beat downs by groups of blacks on whites or Asians( etc) is off the charts bad.

Plus he has enough money to say it just like Kan”Ye” on the Jews.

White guilt. (Which, to my way of thinking, is a remnant of an ownership mentality.)

Scott will be fine.

He will enjoy watching left wing newspapers continue to die off as their circulation decreases. They are relics of the past.

As will I.

How long should we listen to black academics and activists tell us they think whites are irredeemably corrupt and should be eliminated before we begin taking them seriously?
