abc.net.au/news/dilbert-comic-dropped-following-race-comments-from-creator/102025748The creator of the Dilbert comic strip faced a backlash of cancellations, while defending remarks he made describing people who are black as members of "a hate group" from which white people should "get away."Various media publishers across the US denounced the comments by Dilbert creator Scott AdamsDilbert is a long-running comic that pokes fun at workplace culture.

But Adams defended himself on social media against those whom he said "hate me and are cancelling me."The backlash began following an episode this past week of the YouTube show, "Real Coffee with Scott Adams." The Anti-Defamation League says the phrase was popularised in 2017 as a trolling campaign by members of the discussion forum 4chan but then began being used by some white supremacists.

In another episode of his online show on Saturday, Adams said he had been making a point that "everyone should be treated as an individual" without discrimination. The USA Today Network tweeted on Friday that it also will stop publishing Dilbert "due to recent discriminatory comments by its creator."

Dilbert was awesome should bring back the Dilbert show…

See people as people and not white or black!!

He said nothing that was racist. If anything he was simply holding black people to the same standards as white which is the exact opposite of racist. Unlike the hand wringers at the ABC

I’m sure there are members from all races that hate, it is advised to stay clear of them.

he was 100% right.

Stating facts is now racist.

...which proved the point he was making.

Racism applies to any 'doer'. Blacks can be racist Racism - characterized by or showing prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized

Social exclusion for not agreeing with a survey that should’ve never been published or conducted. This ideology has to stop, it’s only good for division. Why isn’t the discourse about the merits of the survey, I think I know why and it’s a modern day which hunt.

Just so we are clear, is the problem his description that there are some 'black' groups who hate white (fully accepting the indoctrination/blame game), or that 'white' people should get away from them Dilbert US media

The White Guilt bank has been overdrawn through constant withdrawals. As far as Scott Adams and many others are concerned, it’s now bankrupt.

About time. Scott Adams, for many years, has promoted misogyny. Now he has yelled our loud what goes on his head.

So this is what it took after all the other bullshit he said.

Hard to fight back against the racists. Black on white racism is being promoted by nefarious Democrat sponsored groups that See white people as the problem & not their own attitudes & prejudices. All people should be seen as equals.

Had he been black and said that about white people nobody would lift an eyebrow. When half of the black people included in the poll didn't agree that it's ok to be white then they're the racists.

Oh but it’s ok for black Americans to view all white people as racist just because they are white... so we can’t say anything in our defence no matter how crazy this thinking is

Why should we be forced to live with people who hate us?

Absolutely correct. More people like him need to speak out. Racism is driven by 'POC'. Wasn't a problem when I grew up.

It's OK to be white

Everything is racist if you disagree with it. leftardlogic

He’s right tho

Black ppl aren't racist because they are black. All people infected with CRT Critical Race Theory are racist because of the CRT.

They can dump Dilbert but they can't dump Tucker. Any insights?

He’s spot on in describing the BLM movement .

Dude’s been a proud human-shaped garbage fire for a long time now.

He’s been doing a lot of critical thinking out loud here on twitter

ABC antiwhite

The survey was overly simplified for one reason, which was causing division. I can agree with something’s literal point, but disagree with its premise. The survey omitted this nuance, polarised the answers and made people who disagree with the premise sound racist.

Truth- FAFO

Looking for Dilbert t shirt now

They should have cancelled Dilbert years ago due to not being funny

Full interview video with Hotep Jesus.

I don’t care what they think of me at Chemist Warehouse or United Petroleum. I’m a white man living with discrimination and persecution on a daily basis.

I don’t know the cartoon Dilbert but the fact he is being so vilified and cancelled by ‘the mob’ I’ll be sure to search for the CARTOON and read it now! 👍😂

Sounds like that terrorist organization BLM they're talking about ABC... Hate groups are ABCs specialty.😎👍

Good to see the blindfold lifted over the populace's eyes re: this NASTY man. Guy's a HUGE Trump supporter (claims people are 'HOAXED' by him?), misogynist, narcissist, etc. I let my kids read his funny comics until I started following him on Twitter, I was STUNNED. Get him off!
