Newspapers across America are pulling Dilbert from their pages following comments from creator Scott Adams in favor of racial discrimination. The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, & Boston Globe will no longer carry the workplace comic strip.
Workplace comic strip Dilbert is being pulled from newspapers across the country this week, following creator Scott Adams' statements on his YouTube channel. In comments reacting to a Rasmussen Reports poll in which 53% of black surveyees agreed with the statement, "It's okay to be white," Adams stated that, "if nearly half of all blacks are not okay with white people ... that's a hate group.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY As reported by The Washington Post, newspapers across the country are pulling Dilbert from their pages following Adam's 'AI Goes Woke, I Accidentally Joined A Hate Group, Trump, Policing Schools' vlog.
Beyond its clear intent as racial provocation, the phrase "It's okay to be white" has long-documented roots in racist rhetoric, with the ADL explaining the phrase's origins within alt-right groups, including support from former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke.
Scott Adams Was Already a Controversial Figure Adam's comments were made in the context of reversing his satirical decision to stop "identifying as black" - a concept which he also used in several 2022 Dilbert strips in which an engineer named Dave 'identifies' as white, thwarting the Pointy-Haired Boss' attempts to expand the diversity of the company's engineering team.
However, looking at the larger body of Adams' political and social commentary, it's difficult to conclude anything but a sincere, sustained and effortful championing of reactionary philosophy, albeit sprinkled with infrequent praise for select progressive individuals Given the context this lends Adams' comments, it's unlikely the publications currently removing Dilbert from their pages will reverse this decision, though the strip will continue via Adams' own website.
