Dilbert comic strip dropped by US media over creator's r****t tirade

Many US newspapers including the Washington Post have dropped the long-running Dilbert cartoon strip after its creator made r****t comments.

In a video on YouTube, Scott Adams, who is white, said b***k A******ns were part of a "h**e group" and that white people should "get the hell away" from them.

Mr Adams, 65, later acknowledged that his career was destroyed.

He said most of his income would be gone by next week.

Dilbert has been a mainstay of the funny pages of America's newspapers, and features a put-upon office worker and a talking dog, who together take aim at the fads of corporate culture.

Among those media outlets that have dropped the Dilbert cartoon strip are the USA Today network, which operates dozens of newspapers, and the Los Angeles Times.

The Washington Post said Mr Adams' remarks promoted segregation.

His comments were made in response to a survey conducted by the firm Rasmussen Reports in which people were asked to agree or disagree with the phrase: "It's OK to be white."

The phrase is believed to have emerged in 2017 as a trolling campaign and has since been used by w***e s*********ts.

According to the poll, 53% of black respondents agreed with the statement, but 26% disagreed and others were not sure.

Mr Adams said that those that disagreed were a "h**e group".

"I would say, 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… because there is no fixing this," he said.

Darrin Bell, a Pulitzer Prize-winning Black cartoonist, described Mr Adams as a disgrace.

Dilbert - which is written and illustrated by Mr Adams - was first published in 1989.

Judging from the response, Dilbert is spot on.

When the Left can't debate; they resort to censorship, and black outs.
OAN is another example.

I read the post that got Scott Adams cancelled. It was not as bad as the above report, but I would call it somewhat biased. I have heard that Adams was spewing some far right stuff lately. I have been reading Dilbert for years. Mr Adams had worked in high tech when he started the strip, and continued to work for quite awhile, which gave him an inside look at the industry. I think its sad that someone so talented threw it all away.

And what exactly do you consider "far right stuff"? Freedom of speech?

He didn't "throw it away" he had it stolen from him by rascist bigots who got their feelings hurt by him not bowing his knee.

We mostly agree on this.
***I think its sad that someone so talented threw it all away.
>>>I think its sad that someone so talented had it all taken away by the real r****ts and the politically correct crowd that never is. But I'm sure he has enough money to live the good life for the rest of his life and there are other ways to get his correct views out there.

Oh well lost you're so stupid you don't even realize his politics are on your team! You don't even realize he's a lefty do you? Do you realize he worked with Black L***s M****r and worked with both sides to be able to get more body cams for police to try to help which was actually a good thing for a lefty!

It just proves the left can't handle freedom of speech and if you don't do what they want you to do than all hell rains down on you.

What he said is absolutely true. If you have a group of people that h**e you and wants to do away with you why wouldn't you want to stay away or get away from them? It's pure r****t hatred by these lunatics. I've even heard them say is the only way to overcome this is to exterminate all w****s! Where is the outcry from people about that statement?

The real problem is the Democrats have always been r****ts and that's a fact you cannot deny. Republicans freed the s***es in Abe Lincoln. The Democrats founded the KKK and you remember Dick Byrd?
The Democrats always play the race card because they don't have any real constructive ideas and it's always been used as a tool to silent somebody and shut them down because nobody likes being called a r****t.

Now the term r****t means absolutely nothing because it's overused. We can argue about the color of the sky about what kind of blue it is and you will end up saying you're r****t because I don't agree with you which means you've already lost the argument. That's what we have come to And the left and the Democrats, but then I repeat myself seem hell-bent on sparking a civil war. Nothing good can come of it and once we destroy this country then where will that leave you?
You will be living in a turd world country.

Hell look at any black man or woman that is a Republican or a conservative how poorly and r****t they are treated by the left because they dare think for themselves and don't tow the line. Talk about living on a plantation that is the democratic party because if you leave the plantation there will be severe consequences.

I've laid this out in very simplisticterms.com and everything I said is 100% accurate and you cannot dispute it but oh you will try I'm sure. But that will just prove you're intellectually dishonest and a big ass liar if you do. You better wake up while we still have a country even though it's in a damn mess thanks to Democratic policies that are hell-bent on power at any cost.

Being silenced by the WOKE BSrs was not throwing it all away.
There is supposed to still be freedom of speech in this 'Republic"
Something the Left/Liberals have to end, to not be outed.

American Vet

Why?

WEBCO

Because he has a non l*****t opinion, he speaks the t***h and the regressives must silence him. Only the official narrative is allowed

LogicallyRight Loc: Chicago

Do you realize how many think that of you?
