Several more newspapers have dropped the Dilbert comic strip from their pages after its creator, Scott Adams, called Black Americans a “hate group” in a Feb. 22 YouTube video.

published a Letter from the Editor Friday, writing that it was “not a difficult decision” to remove Adams’ work from their paper. “We are not a home for those who espouse racism,” the editor wrote.

The newspaper also said that leaders across all Advance Local newsrooms—the publisher under whichfalls—have made similar, independent decisions to cut ties with the comic. Last year, 77 newspapers with publisher Lee Enterprises made a similar

One of the best strips going

Context? 13:20 into his video he cites a Rasmussen poll that asked “Is it OK to be white?” …46% of black respondents answered no or undecided.

Now, maybe he can get a real job, like cleaning septic tanks?

What bothers me is that he will now be more popular and make more money now that he is independent. It happens whenever we cancel a MAGAt.

That's too bad--Most of Dilbert is quite funny. However, being racist isn't.

SER1897 Curious what he thought would happen. Is he so lost in his own grievance and privilege that he thought people would nod along or shrug? Or is he a bully who keeps prodding with his stick to see how far he can go?

He’s discovering that the “finding out” phase is not much fun.

I listened to the video, and it is not as bad as all the drama being raised about it.

You cowardly, truly racist dolts just reinforced his point about how it's apparently open season on whites, now that it's publicly stated by half of blacks and quarter of whites that it's not ok to be white. Cowards kill the messenger instead of exploring why y'all are so racist.

Newspapers prove how shallow and vapid their decision making processes are. No wonder no one reads them anymore.

BLM is a hate group.

It was disgusting.

Hahaha! The left, blacks, Dems - commies🤔🤡 Canceling someone who’s net worth is $50 million is laughable. ScottAdamsSays doesn’t need comic strips to stay afloat. But serious ?-Could the high crime rates be caused by genetics? Any studies or is this cancelable too🤔

Liberals are always quick to characterize what someone said, but slow to tell you WHAT they said.

'racist rant' - but was it untrue?

Lol.. he ain't wrong!!! The evidence is LITERALLY everywhere!!

Let's go seattletimes ! Dilbert sUCKS!!

ZTPetrizzo Qancelled

A good heads up to get rid of his dumb comic books as well. I only have and it was a present probably from a racist person too.

Dilbert: Read it once, thought it was dumb, never even bothered looking at it again.

WajahatAli Good! Wasn’t reading him!

WajahatAli Adams' comments sound a lot like white replacement paranoia: The irrational belief that racial equality is a conspiracy against whites.

Was Dilbert ever funny?

His cartoon was never funny either! What a disgusting human being!!!

sandibachom My comments on Scott Adams video sure brought out the botrolls!

It's about time. Scott Adams has telegraphed his racism beliefs before. But now, he came out VERY CLEAR leaving absolutely no doubt about his position. May dozens upon dozens of publications drop his comic strip. Sadly, he's too rich to care. He'll probably not feel any remorse.

Maybe now he can quit doing Dilbert on focus on crappy youtube streams. He's bee phoning in Dilbert since day one. He really wants to be an intellectual pundit. Too bad his brain is broken.

WajahatAli “Saying bigoted things is bad and everyone who does it should be cancelled…except for me, it’s totally cool when I do it because…um, because I’m just better than you, okay?” - Wajahat Ali

I think we all need to get the f*ck away from Scott Adams. 😲

I listened to the video, and it is not as bad as all the hoopla. I am really getting tired of the drama designed to get clicks.

Using black people to create resentment is the Maga playbook. Bump him.

morgfair Wow is he in need of attention or what. Clearly looking to raise his profile. Best thing to do is ignore him. The media will use this to divide us & raise hackles when reality is nothing like this. Do not elevate this crap; you are not a media puppet

i see a fox version of the view on the horizon, featuring roseanne barr, scott adams and mark fuhrman...

Sherrillacyr12 Couldn't have happened to a better man.

sandibachom How long till the GOP starts an investigation into the newspapers?

He spoke truth to the 47% of blacks that wouldn’t agree it’s ok to be white. It’s such a basic civil rights issue but 47% of blacks are bigots. I stand with ScottAdamsSays

ZTPetrizzo 'bout time.

About time.

sandibachom As well they should. It had got sketchy anyway (probably always was but I was late in noticing).

sandibachom Did we just watch professional suicide in real life?

sandibachom ETTD

ZTPetrizzo Sucks to be a rascist

This is the end of Scott Adams, as it should be. No one with his worldview should have a broad messaging platform to spew his racist bullshit. He's done. Tucker Carlson is next.

KimTomp11872840 WOKEAF power rings unite! Consequences for Racists is 💯 on Point! Bye bye Dilbert.

Just wait until you read about Walt Disney.

WajahatAli So they finally caught up with what prob most already knew?

🤷welp...FAFO

ALL newspapers should drop him.

CancelDilbert

Go anti-woke, go broke.

ZTPetrizzo Good. I could never understand how anyone could consider Dilbert was funny. A whiny, dumpy office rat is a little old school.

ZTPetrizzo Yet WashPostPR hasn’t said a word. 👀 Should be an easy call to stand against racism.

Good, I hope they all drop him. When you play stupid games you win stupid prizes. Congratulations Scott, enjoy your prize!

I’m sure he will start yelling about being canceled. He has basically canceled himself with his racist rampage.

Haters gotta hate. Haven't read Dilbert in years, haven't missed it.

He looks like Gilbert

ClassicMP

I always thought his comic was stupid. It never made me laugh.

He came with receipts that are the result of Democrat propaganda hate programming. The man has a point.

👍👍

I have to admit it: I never liked Dilbert. Even less now.

weird that he got dropped from my local paper. someone named PlannedChaos has been writing in to the editor and raving about how great dilbert comics are 🧐

Because they weren't going to drop every straight white cartoonist so there'd be more 'equity and inclusion.'

What’s wrong with this jerk?

When he finally got his voice back, this is what he decided to say…

And it comes to pass, that a Trump supporter and admirer has come out flown blown racist. Deplorable people love and support Donald Trump. That is just a plain fact.

I had the Dilbert Page-A-Day calendar about ten years ago. Christ it feels good to get this off my chest.

What should be done about the original issue? Rasmussen's poll discovered that up to 47% of Blacks may be genocidal. I realize the poll question was ambiguous but even if they're 1000% off that's still alarming.

Dilbert is dead to me.

blacklist Scott Adams.

Good. QED

While Mr Adams has freedom of speech, he does not have freedom from consequences.

In recent years, the term “bubble” has become increasingly popular in political discourse. It is used to describe the idea that certain groups of people, particularly those who are politically active, live in an isolated environment that is largely disconnected from the rest of…
