Various media officials denounced the comments by Dilbert creator Scott Adams as racist, hateful and discriminatory while saying they would no longer provide a platform for his work.
Andrews McMeel Syndication, which distributes Dilbert, did not immediately respond Saturday to requests for comment from Adams or from the syndicator about his remarks. Dilbert is a long-running comic that pokes fun at office-place culture. The backlash began following an episode this past week of the YouTube show, “Real Coffee with Scott Adams.” Among other topics, Adams referenced a Rasmussen Reports survey that had asked whether people agreed with the statement “It’s OK to be white.”ADVERTISEMENT
The Anti-Defamation League says the phrase was popularized in 2017 as a trolling campaign by members of the discussion forum 4chan but then began being used by some white supremacists. Adams, who is white, repeatedly referred to people who are Black as members of a “hate group” or a “racist hate group” and said he would no longer “help Black Americans.” He urged white people “to get the hell away from Black people.”
Zased
Often it can be wise to swap out words and phrases and check whether you get the same response. Would you react the same way if 26% of Canadians said it was not ok to be American? What if 26% of Iranians said the same? But this time it is 26% of Black respondents. 🤔
It’s great that he exposed his racism it just shows ya they are amount us beware
the question asked was “It’s OK to be white.” 'Most agreed, but Adams noted that 26% of Black respondents disagreed and others weren’t sure. ' so if you think its not ok to be white!, what is that if it isn't racism?
Hello.
It's interesting how the author chose to use the word 'black' with capital letters, and white with lowercase in each use regardless of its citation either quoted or unquoted.
We all know that blacks cannot be racist or haters🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Adams said he had been making a point that “everyone should be treated as an individual” without discrimination. - I can see why the media would want to cancel him. What next? Equality for everyone regardless of your race?! These are extremist views that need to be silenced.
I think I would like to see this for myself. I just can not believe it was really laid out the way several PROMINENT media publishers are saying. Prominent schmominent
So called “Prominent media”… :))) Dilbert is the last thing we can still enjoy in that media…
Whats a 'Dilbert'
Conservatives 'the Left is canceling him' in 3....2....1
Because 50% think it’s not okay to be white. Do your job properly.
Dilbert meet your creator Dildo
Very interesting how the very ones that were brought up to hate blacks want to blame blacks for that which they are.
What was wrong with that realistic description. All woke black Americans hate white people and are practicing reverse racism. And woke culture tells them it ok to hate
Or you know, his straight up racism
As always, he has the right to say any hateful thing he wants. He DOES NOT however, have the right to make the rest of us want to have anything to do with him. If your living is based on people liking you, perhaps you shouldn’t make yourself unlikeable. “Sparkling consequences”
Just tellin it like it is!
Not even 'antifa' or 'Black Lives Matter', just ALL of us? Lol Nothing less serious than that. Get him some help.
If you’re racist and you know it, clap your hands
Dilbert always sucked. It's about time.
🎼Every accusation 🎶 🎶is a confession 🎶
Why do people who 'demand' to be equal work so hard to look and sound so different?
Completely true what he said...
This is a much better framing than the pieces of crap from CNN and Wapo. And that the sad result of de facto CRT education in black dominated schools for a few generations.
Droppedbert
Makes Sense
Yeah, I love the strip, but he should stick to that.
Poll says a majority of blacks hate whites & they are a group so a hate group. Whites have been called white supremists for yrs. Guess blacks are just more fragile.Hmm Just learned that blacks are historically queer & perpetual victims from the APclass row in FL. Now this! Wow🤯
Scott Adams' net worth is $75 million. People who get that rich no long need to worry about money so they are fee to say what they really think. He's obviously a racist who is no longer afraid to say so.
Thats what you get for saying the truth...
Journalists aren't people
It's MORE than OK being Caucasian!
Happy to note it's been dropped by the LA Times. Query: was that strip ever funny?
He can hand out his comics on a sidewalk. That's freedom enough.
Racist clown !
Good job of taking what he said out of context
Finally it's been known for a very long time
nycguidovoice
Now he can exposé his best comic work yet
Dilbert got cancelled? I was never really a fan, so 🤷🏻♂️But, why didn’t Don Lemon get cancelled?
The AP is an agenda driven organization An not a news organization. 'Mostly peaceful protesting' CNN 😂 FBI statistic there were more unarmed white people killed by police than Black people BUT that doesn't fit the racial agenda pushed by the AP and race mongers. I'm from Panama…
Well you do have BLM and many of them are racists. The truth may be painful but there are racist black people.
He's such a Dilbert
Proud Boys Herald will pickup the strip
Does that mean the Veiw is next?
Adams: I don’t know why I’m being cancelled Also Adams: “Based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from Black people”
A little brash, but basically correct. And btw, he didn’t describe “people who are Black as members of a racist hate group'. I like Dilbert and I think he’s been over Libs heads for a while.
The last time I even thought of Dilbert was when I was saying how much of my experience with HR people has been like his character Catbert, evil director of human resources.
He is being cancelled because he wont support a hate group. WOW!
I heard it theorized that he went on this grand 'expose' to build ANOTHER income stream. I cannot imagine he didn't anticipate this.
Good riddance.
Buh bye.
Consider the shit that groups like the Black Panthers and BLM have said over the years, yes in fact there are black hate groups. The AP proving yet again how little integrity they have.
Yo Dilbert. F.O.A.D.! 🖕🏼
It sucked, anyway.
Wasn’t what he said that a poll showed a large portion of a group hated another group. If so it’s best to avoid the group that hates you? Honestly asking.
Several? Seems like quite the understatement.
Arriadna Bye 👋🏻
According to a Recent Poll 'nearly half of all Blacks are not OK with White people' meaning that half the polled group is 'a hate group”! Rather easy to see that half of the people polled are racists and thus a hate group. Scott called out a group of hateful racists and…
That’s becasue is a recent poll 48% of black respondents said it was either “not ok” or they “were sure it was ok” for someone to be White
NAACP ICYMI
expressupdates I’m guessing the paper will be following suit…
He found out.
Blacks Americans didn’t invent racism it was created by European Americans in the USA
Cancel culture by main stream media liberalism is fascism shown again
Facts are facts there is a small percentage who are part of black racist hate groups.
As an engineer I read Dilbert daily until ~2010. Dilbert was creative, funny, & even Dilbert game on PC was great to interact with. It was also very true to engineering in general. After 2010 I got the hint that Adams wasn't right - I stopped reading. It isn't news that he is off
where did he lie
Good!!
Democrats grabbed black people in the '60s and raped their families. I lived with and worked with people with black skin through the decades. Turned 50, and I had to get out. Just wanted to get away from a boisterous, violent culture that had no civility or social trust.
Dilbert's visual aesthetic and office backdrop are timeless. But Adams actually is that guy in the office that no one likes but can't do anything about. Until now, thank goodness.
I like Dilbert and I’m against cancel culture so go Dilbert!
Well what do you call it. when you tell a group of people that they're superior because of skin color? Then you tell another group that they're evil because of skin color?
Guy makes obviously racist video Wonders where the accusations of racism are coming from
So 47% of Blacks aren’t okay with white people existing, white guy points this out, and he’s racist?! GTFO
The common black isn't necessarily always as racist as the common clansmen but pretty close
Why? Scott Adams has done Black folks a huge favor. Plenty of people believe the same exact thing that he does, but pretend otherwise. It's good to know who our enemies are.
True hurts I guess
Good
Ya cause we all know skin color determines who's racist and who's not.
America likes to keep its systemic racist partners closeted. guess Mr. Adams didn’t get the memo.
I have been discriminated against by black people in third-world countries. All humans are the same.
ScottAdamsSays This manufactured consent these intel agencies run is really something. I bet 2/3 of the posts responding not only didn’t watch or know what you said, the other 1/3 are probably not even human. Plus or minus 10% for margin of error.
He was referring to the black people who said it wasn't ok to be white.
I think he drunk video casted. His comments were terrible.
The truth is now not allowed.
Arriadna
If you read his disturbing Twitter feed, this was a long time coming.
Prove you didn't actually listen to what he said by commenting solely on the headline.
Lol he said the truth tho. 😂
Several? Why not all of them?
About time
Dilbert was never funny anyway.
It’s fine for 50% of black respondents to say it’s not okay to be white or they don’t know if it’s okay, but it’s not okay for ScottAdamsSays to call out black people for their hate. You want us to define “woke”? I just illustrated woke for you.
As. They. Should. And not a year or decade too soon.
And nothing of value was lost
B. L. M. Is a racist terrorist organization
Scott was not wrong. Trying to help a group of people who are statistically 50% full of hardcore race separatists, why would you even bother helping them?
I assumed the AP style guides insisted on accuracy in reporting somewhere in that jumble of wokeness. Guess not.
He was human garbage then, he's human garbage now.
Say it ain't so Dilbert... jeez even comic strip guys are nazis.
Proving his point completely. Lol.
Damn.
Didn't he just share the stats from a poll?
Cue the right wing media tour where he gets rich.
What the hell’s a comic strip?🤔🤷♂️
Drop him. Wanna call it canceling? Fine. Cancel him.
Deserved
Blackballing someone for what he said is retaliation and proves nothing Proving him right or proving him wrong is strength
What racist hate group? There’s a group of blacks across the globe part of a secret racist hate group? Also, isn’t racist hate an oxymoron? Are there racist love groups as well?
But the guy who said racist stuff also said he isn’t racist, so he isn’t. That’s how it works, right?
He's only describing what he sees
He pulled a Jontron.
As a white kid in the mid 70’s, it was a know fact that you never went into an all black neighborhood.
Yes, this dude just messed around and found out.
A lot of people hear and see what he see’s . Black hate, violence and prejudice against white ppl, Asians too is prevalent everywhere. Dilbert will be fine.
This took far too long
CommunityNotes any context to this?
Took this long, eh?
3 words That’s your quote. You guys are a joke. No context. If it was that bad you’d have included it but you guys aren’t serious anymore.
Theres nothing to cancel.
Dilbert was still a thing?
George Orwell only got the year wrong.
Good. He's racist AF
Pay attention to the folks taking up for this loser. They are outing themselves. 💯
Time to take control of the FL media for being woke. They have violated FL’s 1st amendment.
He’ll take that 50 million dollars he made from that comic and probably be ok.
and if a black person commits a crime against white people, the media will try to down play it to were they dont wanna seem 'racist' towards the black community...evil shit! 2/2
i mean, he's not lying. and im a black guy that agrees with him. both blacks and whites are fucking tired of this fake racist shit that ruined stuff for white people for pointing the insane shit other black people get away with. 1/2
But it's perfectly fine for Joe Bahar and other white women to go on national TV and claim that all straight white men are part of a racist hate group? Seems fair to me. Nothing to see here.
It has been said 'we need a conversation about race in the US'. It is not possible because the AP and their lefty media types can't stop the hate in their brains long enough to listen. They are circle jerking to this.
He’s not wrong
Tots and Pears
Scott Adams has ALWAYS been this way. I've been advocating for his boycott for years. Glad to hear he FINALLY said something so toxic it got everyone's attention. Piss off, Dilbert.
Why does the article capitalize “black” but not “white”? Isn’t that a micro aggression or is it intentional? Have noticed a lot of places doing the same.
Well, his cartoons were weak and many times denigrating of minorities, matching its creator's sick and hate filled mind. We don't need shit like that. He has his audience, comprised of people that other people with integrity prefers not to associate with.
I listened to the video, and it is not as bad as all the drama being raised about it.
DropDilbert BOYCOTTDILBERT
the way this article writes it is insidious - 47% said that it was not okay to be white
These media publishers just appear in their true colors, aren't they?
'Several prominent media publishers' So, the opposite of that then?
Adios, Scott. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
For you dummies that don’t understand what free speech means, Scott Adams is not going to jail, and he hasn’t broken any laws. Private companies are choosing who to do business with. He was free to say the stupid crap he said. He’s also free to take the private consequences.
Dilbert didn’t end in the 90’s?
From another cartoon
No one cares.
You mean when he showed how 47% said its not ok to be white? And he called them a racist hate group.. nice narrative shift
At least he's honest about it unlike most MAGAs
Also, Dilbert has never been funny.
Good. He’s a worthless racist. Cancel his ass.
You’re only allowed to disparage white people duh. Black people are precious, perfect, and never ever do wrong
Womp womp, muthafncka.
Every group in this country keeps attacking Black Americans the most yet no hate crime bill like for the Asians(honorary white) and LGBT & protections for illegals(who identify as white) because anti Black racism is the law of the land & approved by democrats & republicans.
Well they are
Oh no! Now he's going to claim he was cancelled, just because he was honest about his absolute racism.
Who reads comic strips anymore and who ever read Dilbert?
Dilbert will be missed . . . Wait, no, no one gives a shit.
If you have time, read all the unhinged virtue signaling whites and “racism is everywhere” blacks comments. Then remember that they didn’t bother to research if this was true or just click bail. 🤣
Inflation 6%. Interest rates 6%. Americans of every race are suffering. I'm so sick of journalists choosing to cover only the stories that divide us.
TimesCall assuming you’ll do the right thing and drop his strip as well
Another to join the Role Ending Misdemeanor club.
And the funny pages we’re having such a good run, with the recent boom in newspaper readership and all. 🙃
Any excuse will do when they want to cancel a conservative....but Joy Reid and the ladies of The View keep getting a free pass
What a Dilbert
Fee people know the detail before blaming I guess.
The AP is racist.
Yeah, it's perfectly fine for half of black people to hate whites, but it's racist for one white guy to notice.
SuperRetroid Good
This guy clearly watches too much F*x News. Everyone’s mother warned us about watching too much TV as kids. This is that result.
No, Rasmussen_Poll polled black people and over 50% of them identified as members of a hate group.
I can’t think of anyone with a wider, deeper canyon between how smart he thinks he is and how smart he actually is.
Ew dilbert was still around?
Well, BLM is a racist hate group
So because he points out a concerning statistic of Black people who do not think it's even 'ok' to be white, he's the racist? Fascinating.
Took long enough.
It’s about time.
He was just quoting the results of a Reuters poll that showed 52% of Black people didn't think it was ok to be White. He said he wouldn't want to be around a group where the majority didn't think it was ok for him to exist. It seems to me that Adams made a reasonable comment.
elonmusk oh look the 'woke mind virus' got ur homie cancelled. guess he was not the antidote 🤷🏻♀️
About sums it up😩😩😩
Wheres the lie?
The AP capitalizes 'black' and not 'white' and is therefore a racist organization.
Members of all colors are parts of hate groups.
Jerk
Love to see racists FAFO
Lol, get rekd you weird nerd
Like all MAGA-ts, he’s such a racist loser 😭
Mischaracterization. He was referencing a poll.
