Newspapers drop office cartoon 'Dilbert' over creator's racial remarks

Multiple newspapers have pulled the popular office comedy comic strip "Dilbert" after its creator Scott Adams made racist comments in his podcast, and then doubled down on them.
"If nearly half of all Blacks are not okay with White people – according to this poll, not to me – that’s a hate group," Adams said during his "Coffee with Scott Adams" vlog, referring to a Rasmussen poll published this week. "That’s a hate group, and I don’t want anything to do with them."
"And I would say, based on the current way things are going, the best advice I can give to White people is to get the hell away from Black people," he continued, adding, "There is no fixing this … you just have to escape," which he said was why he moved to his current neighborhood that has "a very low Black population."
The poll that Adams cited asked two questions: (1) Do you agree or disagree with this statement: "It’s OK to be white," (2) Do you agree or disagree with this statement: "Black people can be racist, too." The poll found that 26% of Black respondents said "no" to the first question, and 21% said they weren’t sure, which Adams concluded meant 47% had a negative response.

He's right, that's why they're mad.

I had no idea that anyone paid attention to physical papers or cartoon strips anymore.

it is like what they are doing to Nikki Haley
"Nikki Haley is using her brown skin to attack blacks and be a brown skin for supporting white supremacy"
MORE REASONS - National DIVORCE - NOW

Saying that white people should stay away from black people is certainly a racist thing to say.
The problem I see is that racism is a one-way street right now when we should be condemning all racism. Black and brown people are capable of being racists just as white people can be, and for the same reason. All human beings are sinners.
One of the major laws of CRT is that it treats whites, as a group, as special kinds of sinners, rather than acknowledging that racial hatred exists in all racial groups.
All racism should be condemned.

We dropped the Advocate years ago after their Easter edition was plastered all over the front and elsewhere with articles about how evil white people are. ZERO regrets.

This is literally the definition of racism. It’s bad if a black person says this about white people; it’s bad if a white person says this about black people.

Did he say that the white race is superior to the black race? If he didn't then it's not "racism". People have forgotten what the word itself even means

If a black public figure came out and said:
“And I would say, based on the current way things are going, the best advice I can give to Black people is to get the hell away from White people. There is no fixing this … you just have to escape”
You wouldn’t consider that racist? You can point out the double standard, and you’d have a fair argument. But to just act like that statement isn’t racist is just

Otoh, we're beginning to see the frustration of whites spill over into the public square. There's a double standard on this issue as big as Mt Everest. Whites are always wrong; blacks are always right. Every problem in society is the fault of white people, even if black people are the perpetrators. Witness the mass shootings last month by POC that were blamed on white supremacy.
It didn't take a genius to see that eventually large masses of whites were going to say, "frick you and the horse you rode in on" and just give up on ever trying to solve our nation's race issues. It was inevitable

If there is a group as violent as blacks are - and they currently are in mumbers far too large to ignore - it is perfectly sane to stay away from such a hate group.
"literal definition of racism" is the definition of these actions being taken by blacks, in the poll, and in the world. violence against other races.
There is only one race that fits that description. Blacks

Yesterday's podcast had some more clarification.
He asked black people if they would move to a white community when they knew that half that community hated them. Most said no.
He pointed out that black people were following the same exact advice.
He also pointed out that his neighbor, who he thinks is a wonderful man, is a black doctor that moved out of the hood to a nice white neighborhood.
So I ask you, doctor, do you live in a dangerous black neighborhood or did you also follow Scott's advice and get away from that?
