Several prominent media publishers across the U.S. are dropping the Dilbert comic strip after its creator described people who are Black as members of "a racist hate group" during an online video show.

Various media officials denounced the comments by Dilbert creator Scott Adams as racist, hateful and discriminatory, while saying they would no longer provide a platform for his work.

It’s okay to be white. But White? That’s where the problems start.

What does Adams’ think that his career self-immolation, his financial self-neutering, will accomplish? Doubting he’s anywhere near as good at 4D chess than a certain bad orange man (or whom his admiration has always been grudging).

Some people believe speaking the truth supersedes their own personal gain. It’s often refereed to as “character”.

Perhaps you should try it some time if you have the guts.

There is zero doubt he knew how it would play out financially for him. Just yesterday he said his income from Dilbert is going to be zero in a few days.

It almost sounds like he did an intentional Farewell to Dilbert.

It’s too bad because his is one of the few remaining decent comic strips.

Do you, or would you yourself capitalize that word when using it in the middle of a sentence to describe a person’s skin color?

Scott Adams is right. They just can’t admit it.

When I was young I was never racist . I was raised to except everyone on their own merits. Now that I’m older , I just want to be left alone. Black people are biggest racists of all and everybody knows it. 12% of the population and they are on every TV station, every commercial. Every Black man has a white wife and vice versa. I have had enough of them. Like Adams says ,stay the F away from me.

He is set for life and knew what the response would be. Every well known public figure who is brave enough to publicly state what millions know in their heart breaks the dam open a little bit more.

There’s an interview of Adams, “who is White”, by a guy who calls himself Hotep Jesus, “who is Black”.

In a livestream he did yesterday, Adams recommended that people seeking context for his statements watch/listen to that interview.

Have you checked out that interview?

HOLY SMOKES!

You are right, I just went to VW’s webpage and sure enough they have electric vehicles.

I have a gas-powered VW and it is the most delicate car I have ever owned. EXTREMELY difficult to service. Like every other German car I have ever been in the AM radio doesn’t work correctly.

I cannot even imagine what a pain an electric VW-Porsche-Audi would be. Why in God’s green earth would you throw your money away for an electric VW?
