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.

“repeatedly referred to people who are Black as members of a “hate group” or a “racist hate group”

Maybe not all of ‘em......but technically he’s accurate.

The majority of black people are the most racist hateful people in this country. I have personally sworn off all contact and business dealings with any black person I don’t already know and am friends with. My black friends agree with me, but they are all business owners which means they are all the black face of white supremacy and full of white privilege for daring to escape the slave master demonrat plantation bosses.

The BIG PROBLEM for the Leftists now isn’t Dilbert, it’s Musk, who’s basically lined up with Scott Adams in demanding that ALL racism be ended.

I wonder if the Tesla owners are now prying off their nameplates and emblems?

As Harry Truman said, "I didn't give 'em hell. I just told them the truth and they thought it was hell."

Same for Scott Adams.

Scott merely reads the news on all those papers that dropped him. You know, “teens”, “youth”, segregated college dorms, etc. He is sooooo obviously racist. We eagerly await daily walks by “journalists” down those wonderful areas of Chicago, New Orleans, NYC, etc.

For some of these papers, cancelling Dilbert will be the straw that bankrupts them. Good.

There is a large park across from my home that has basketball courts.

Yesterday, while I was doing my walk around the perimeter, I could watch the kids playing basketball from wherever I was.

There was one white kid and about a dozen black kids. Two teams playing.

They would never throw the ball to the white kid, under any circumstances, even when he was wide open. He just walked around the court clapping his hands, and they ignored him like he wasn’t even there.

I wanted to tell him that he was never going to get the ball thrown to him, and he should just go home. ..................

Liberals are extremely tolerant with everyone they agree with.

Tesla owners are trading in for Volkswagen EV's.

Better to drive a car created by someone who would send you to the gas chambers than someone who would tell you the truth.

Scott Adams is a clever guy. Wanna bet he weighed the financial metrics on his decision to tell the truth?

It would be nice to know exactly what he said rather than CBS’ characterization of it. Anyone know where to see a transcript?

Must have been referring to the race baiters like Obama, Sharpton, Lemmon, and a bunch of Democrat members of congress.

“The L.A. Times said its last publication of a Dilbert comic strip would appear in the Sunday, March 12, edition of the paper, because Sunday comics are already printed several weeks in advance.”

They could throw the offending publications away and reprint without the bad stuff.

But that would cost them money. So they put money ahead of their liberal principles.

Shame on them. There is no telling how many innocent liberals will read a differing opinion and have their lives ruined forever.

“Adams, who is White...”

There is his real “offense” “having an opinion while white”.

Scott Adams is “guilty” of exactly the same “crime” once-upon-a-time so-called “freedom fighters” were charged with in the 1960’s:

Speaking Truth to Power.

About that 600 lb gorilla in the room….
