Andrews McMeel Universal, the company that syndicates “Dilbert,” said it is cutting ties with the comic strip’s creator, Scott Adams, after his racist remarks about Black Americans led hundreds of newspapers across the country to drop the satirical cartoon

. In a joint statement, Andrews McMeel Chairman Hugh Andrews and CEO and President Andy Sareyan said that the syndication company was “severing our relationship” with Adams and condemned his remarks, saying “we will never support any commentary rooted in discrimination or hate.” Hundreds of papers drop ‘Dilbert’ Though McMeel’s decision could be one of the most significant repercussions for the comic strip, hundreds of newspapers across the country already stopped running “Dilbert.

The Washington Post and The Plain Dealer also in Cleveland said they would no longer carry the comic. Adams’ comments came in response to a poll from the conservative firm Rasmussen Reports that said 53% of Black Americans agreed with the statement, “It’s OK to be White.” The Anti-Defamation League has noted that the phrase emerged on the infamous message board 4chan in 2017 as a trolling campaign and has a “long history” in the white supremacist movement.

As a POC ~ I “generally” just don’t get it ? Watching the video left a pit in my stomach What does he mean by “the way things are going” Really? Race relations in US are SO bad that 50s Jim Crow era is preferred? I wish a non POC could explain what is going on here 🙄

Dilbert sucks.

Now do KingJames and NYCMayor, and racist comments they have publicly stated. I forgot a government operated news agency will only cover the 'white supremists' narrative. The goal is to divide, which is the only way to overthrow democracy and freedom. Dems and world elite want

The quote..... 'If nearly half of all Blacks are not OK with white people ... that's a hate group,' Adams said on his YouTube channel on Wednesday. 'And I don't want to have anything to do with them.' Sounds to me like he was talking about black hate groups.

The results of the poll that 47% of blacks believe it's not OK or aren't sure being white is OK seems a bigger story than one man's opinion

🎶 should’ve cut those ties a long time ago🎶

Were they actually racist? Probably not.

When does that 'conversation' about racial accountability start? It might get 'uncomfortable'.
