ScottAdamsSays He is a bigot, and a Nazi lover

'drop it like its hot' haters dropitlikeitshot

He speaks the truth and gets cancelled for his opinion, which is by the way 100 percent correct, and how most people feel, yet the media is controlled by the woke generation. People need to wake up!

Classic case of F around and find out.

RexChapman He had to know this would not end well......right?

BrettaApplebaum Wow

it's so hard to be a person that was successful for decades that then decided to become a racist shitheel. 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

“Mr. Adams: Today we are restructuring our democracy and the job of supremacist bigot is no longer in alignment with our culture. It has been eliminated. There is no severance package. Thank you for your service. Security will walk you out. Your login has been disabled.”

The first amendment says you have the right to tell everyone just how much of a racist asshole you are. Doesn’t say being a racist asshole comes without consequences.

Just getting ahead of this one.

‘Racist rant’ Uh that was just straight up racist.

He has a point: he’s reacting to the national poll that reveals a majority of blacks polled react negatively to phrase: ‘I’m okay being White’ WTF

RexChapman Ya know, I’m not at all upset that a racist is losing his source of income. Especially when he already has enough to make sure he doesn’t starve, the poor soul

What in the hell is wrong with many in this country? I feel like so many people are snapping and not trying to project an upstanding public self. Wow.

Good.

That time the creator of Dilbert questioned whether six million Jews really died in the Holocaust, then attempted to defend himself online with sockpuppet (or as he put it, 'masked vigilante') accounts.

Good another one exposed.

RexChapman StarTribune u guys gonna do something

Not racist. Factual rant.

[sad trombone]

Tune in for the Showdown of the Century: Racism ends today 👇 ScottAdamsSays x HotepJesus

Scott is on with HotepJesus today at 5PM Eastern. Says it's the only interview he will do on this topic.

Good job by the ThePlainDealer dropping him. Every newspaper in the country needs to do the same including the papers I subscribe to latimes ocregister washingtonpost. If they keep him, I’ll be cancelling my subscription. AMSyndication also needs to drop him or be boycotted.

That you put quotes around racist rant when it is obviously a racist rant is a bad look.

RexChapman

I think Scott’s Mom dropped him on his head…😒

RexChapman FAFO Scottie

What about you chicagotribune ?

RexChapman It's incongruous to me that 'Dilbert' is so astute and hilarious, and Scott Adams is such a hateful assholio.

RexChapman These racists will never learn.

RexChapman

RexChapman Old news. Variety copied the nypost Still, ole racist, deplorable Scott might be able to rely on his “Delbert Gummy-Bert’s”

RexChapman I get the feeling that Dilbert would hate Scott Adams.

Go fasc lose cash

🔥

It’s should have been dropped years ago for being terribly unfunny.

RexChapman

I've curled up in a fetal ball numerous times listening to Scott Adams. HOWEVER... Nothing he said in this 'rant' is an iota different than things Kenya Barris has had said in countless of his hit (and not-so-hit) TV shows and movies over the past decade. squeegeelevelHYPOCRISY

Cleosbaby64 He’s also been dropped by Gannett papers.

Those newspapers are weak pansies.

Why are there quotes around racist rant, as if this isn't OBVIOUSLY a racist rant?

The real reason the left is pissed at him

Dilbert was still running?

Good! racist

Woohoo!!

Did Jesus say “Love thy neighbor as long as it pays off”? I must have missed that part.

Which one specifically

The One Joke.

TIL Dilbert is still running

tomleao As pessoas nem leram o que ele escreveu. O importante é cancelar!!!

Imagine having a decades long comic strip and you ruin it all by being a d*ck.

I didn’t even realize Dilbert was still running.

Cool. Now do Andrew Sullivan.

Why is racist rant in quotations?

Should’ve been done awhile ago

Scott Adams is the Kevin Sorbo of Ralph Macchio's.
