“The views expressed by Scott Adams are unambiguously racist,” said Gabriel Escobar, editor and senior vice president of The Inquirer. “As with all race-baiting, his comments are profoundly disturbing and dangerous. We will no longer publish Dilbert.”

, did not immediately respond Saturday to requests for comment.The backlash began following an episode last week of the YouTube show. Among other topics, Adams referenced a Rasmussen Reports survey that had asked whether people agreed with the statement “It’s OK to be white.”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.

“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,” Adams said on his Wednesday show. “But you should also avoid any group that doesn’t respect you, even if there are people within the group who are fine,” Adams said. The degradation of Adams’ public image was initially intertwined with his praise for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election. Since then, he has identified himself with increasingly extremist viewpoints.

Daily News is better for 1. For 2, I can show you 20 popular videos from Last week Alone where a white person was being attacked for being white.....show me just 5 of the opposite, from the last MONTH. Until then? Shh..

well dilbert is based on a mediocre white male incel who feels like it’s others fault that his life sucks uses sarcasm 2 cope blames others black folks worked. that strip has long been about projection. what’s in the heart comes out the mouth.Adams is a cliche and a stereotype.

Ok but what did he say that was factually incorrect?

Sad, silly Gabriel 😿. Ur paper is in the poorest, most dangerous city in NATION where 95% of all murders and shootings are COMMITTED BY PEEPS OF COLOR. It's TRUE - u can say it. So -he DID SAY IT 🤣🤣🤣. BLACK PRIVILEGE is real - so live w it u liberal sissy😿😿😿

I’m a subscriber- thanks👍🏾

Good, the place to start is with ourselves, and I'm glad to see this in my local paper.

He's poking fun at ChatGPT in the strip now. Really hilarious.

Meanwhile your own rag is loaded with race baiting headlines. City has been solid dem for last half century, yet you blame the repubs. Sad one sided leftist race baiting views here. Isnt it almost time for another bankruptcy filing?

When looking at that disgusting, jaw-dropping tirade, I had no idea it was THAT Scott Adams. He deserves being dropped by so many publications.

Good riddance

Fact check: FALSE. He called out racism. Why won't the Inquirer? Imagine if that many white people said it's not OK to be black. And LOL citing the ADL as a credible source. enemyofthepeople
