The syndicator of Dilbert said that they are dropping the comic strip following racist remarks made by its creator, Scott Adams
The publisher of Adams’ non-Dilbert books also has terminated an upcoming project, according to The Wall Street Journal. Adams wrote on Twitter that the publisher also canceled his backlist.
But newspapers across the country dropped the Dilbert comic after Adams, on his YouTube show, in which he referred to Black Americans a “hate group.” “The best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from Black people.” Adams had been talking about a Rasmussen poll on the use of phrase, “It’s OK to be white.” That is a phrase that has been used on the far right and condemned by the Anti Defamation League.
