, calling Black Americans a “hate group” and suggesting that White people should “get the hell away” from them. The USA Today Network, which operates hundreds of newspapers, said it had pulled the plug on the long-running comic strip. The Washington Post and The Plain Dealer also in Cleveland said they would no longer carry the comic. The move came after Scott Adams, the cartoonist behind “Dilbert,” effectively encouraged segregation in a shocking rant on YouTube.
“And I would say, 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, just get the f**k away … because there is no fixing this.” Adams has since said on Twitter that he was only “advising people to avoid hate” and suggested that the cancellation of his cartoon signals that free speech in America is under assault.
If you're a free market champion, the response of newspapers in dropping 'Dilbert' shouldn't surprise you. If anything, you should be celebrating. The market responded, free of government intervention. It worked just as you hoped. Demand for 'Dilbert' is down, so supply follows.
Lil bro couldn’t take his own advice
If only there been anything racist and what he said. Sadly there wasn't. There was just a lot of Truth and that is not allowed by CNN and mainstream media
Totally unrelated statistics show a precise correlation between a cities black population and crime.
I feel like we all been there and went on a racist tirade at one point or another, just forgive yourself and move on, not double down on your bigoted opinions. This world is turning everyone against each other white men are finally there too so whatever
These are liberal newspapers 95% of our news rather I print or television is the libe ral media hello McFly's mcflies don't you get that
Like how millions and millions of viewers across the US and world dropped CNN in the last few years? Or not quite as bad?
We finally have people on the left calling out their own BS. Speak truth, get cancelled.
Now it is enough in the media to see the headline accusing someone of racism, you can not read the article. 99% it turns out that the accused tried to talk about equality regardless of skin color. But equality is now racism
48 hours late, CNN reposts some old news.
Lol wtf! Bruh why isn’t cnn with dilbert!?
I don’t see what the two things have to do with one another. Dilbert isn’t racist.
All race all the time w FNN
*another. It’s not his first. This one was just less subtle than before. He’s been ramping up since 2016.
I mean, it is concerning that almost half of a certain demographic believes it’s NOT okay to be white.
Nobody liked that one anyway. 🤷♀️
Are the almost 50% of black people who don't think it's ok to be white also racist?
Despite the history of White Supremacists, a white man accuses black people of racism Racists are perplexing and terrifying. Is he attempting to alter history?
This is precisely the kind of Neanderthal nonsense for which cancelling was invented. The loss of syndication was well earned and deserved.
A white man , accusing black people of being racist despite the history of White Supremacists Racists is bewildering and scary. Is he trying to rewrite history ?
Cool. But similarly condemn the black people who make generalizing statements about whites, promote white guilt, and even mistreat white children in school based on black racial resentments.
Never liked his Dilbert comic strip from the beginning.
Nearly 50% of a group of people hate you based on skin color but he's the racist?
Can you say “Dildobert”?
Did yourself a favor dude, your comic sucked!!!
Nice back pedaling~~~
Hey had it coming to him, like, what was he thinking, ranting racist crap
Pitbulls 🤔
Cnn puts out more racism than anyone
It’s ok to be White.
Dilbert did nothing wrong.
Print the tirade. All of it.
trash
No matter how much he pisses and moans it’s not a “free speech” issue it’s a business decision and no amount of right wing fanaticism can change that.
You're using a cartoonist I don't care about who makes a comic I don't care about as a vessel to inform me the results of a biased news paper pole I don't care about.
You didn't watch his video did you?
it’s only okay when we “effectively encouraged segregation”
CNN, please explain what was racist about Scott's comments.
CNN ignoring facts yet again. Dont talk about the study that showed 47 percent of blacks hate whites for which he based his 'tirade' on.
There were still newspapers this whole time?
I assume all media members will soon move to South Central, Gary, Indiana, Camden, NJ, and East St. Louis, just to show how racist Scott really is, right? 🤷♂️
Specifically, how was what he said 'racist'? Near as I can tell, he was responding to numbers in a poll.
What a world, Adams condemns the act of hating based on race an is called a racist for doing so...
They ALL should
He was responding to a poll showing a huge number of black Americans saying it is “not ok” to be white. Context matters.
Hmmmm so this ain't a free speech issue? Why not I remember when Charlie Hebdo was publishing hateful, racist pics and content it what free speech!!! Lol I say well done Dilbert.
Great news! Everyone knows we can't read a satirical comic strip from someone who said a stupid thing. Racism solved.
Tirade?
I've seen far worse from TheDemocrats.
Media against free speech
Droppedbert
If a poll revealed that just over half of white people believe it's okay to be black, you'd be aghast and calling for black only spaces.
'Racist tirade'
His exact wording wasn't the best, but he's not wrong about the percentage that think it's not okay to be white. The people who espouse such ideas are unequivocally racist.
If whites are the problem then whites should remove themselves from Black occupied spaces for their own benefit. That’s all he’s saying. Stay the hell away from them.
Oh, look, it's the consequences of my actions. Good on them. They're not required to carry it.
So calling someone a 'Dilbert' is the new way to call someone a racist. Great.
We need a color blind society. It’s the only way.
The right wing’s king of cartoon racism.
That's not even close to what happened. communitynotes
White people living in all white neighborhoods calling Scott a racist. Lol. Hypocrites
It's ok to be white.
He did the opposite, he just quoted a poll. Quit race baiting CNN. Find something else.
So in Louisville blacks have voted for segregation in our schools. What’s the difference. Did anyone boycott them!
I'm just glad to find out it's kind of OK to be white....was worried about it
Newpapers are Woke corporations.... they are not the voice of the ppl.
Care to comment on the poll of blacks Adams cited, or we sticking w more CNN misinformation to continue the scapegoating of black anti-white sentiment the poll revealed?
Incredibly stupid remark made on his part. Racist? Debatable, since he didn’t really went too far like White supremacists usually go but did refer to a demographic as a hate group. Of course, I disagree since I’m Black although I do feel Black racism are on the rise.
people should speak out against racism but in a way that doesn’t suport segragation.
Today I found out there are hundreds of newspapers left and comic strips still exist. TheMoreYouKnow
“Omg statistical facts are so racist.”
What’s a newspaper?
A poll was taken demonstrating nearly 50 percent of Black people hate White people Addressing this in any way is not ok ? Lets reverse the poll Lets say 50 % of White people hate Black people Exactly
Usa media is so avid for racial content
FAFO
Wrong, he was speaking out against racism.
soviet-America is rad.
How about Don Lemon's repeated sexist comments, or Whoopi Goldberg's repeated antisemitic remarks, they need to be cancelled too. Oh wait they are part of protected groups they can't be
CNN network is everything about racism.
Go listen to the podcast and make up your own mind. This is much like the Canadian shop teacher wearing the size 100 bazoomies in order to make a point. Point missed there and missed with Scott Adams, too.
What the guy said was pretty stupid
Once again, not a Free Speech issue.
Did not go on a racist tirade. He's just not a leftie so they want to shut him down. Simple.
The real offense is that man has made a living off of that cartoon for decades.
Listen carefully people. I thing racist about what Adams said. Ignore MSM headlines. Just deceitful and lies.
It just goes to show how weaponised racism is. All he did was draw a logical conclusion from data but we can’t have that…. 🤡🤡🤡
Free speech is not under attack. Hate speech is. If I hear someone say something I find disgusting, I’d want them far from my paper as well. That’s capitalism working as it should. Funny how conservatives want capitalism until it blocks things they agree with. Like racism.
not surprised elon’s twitter places all the comments supporting adams on top….i’m sure musk will be happy to “publish” dilbert on twitter…..
Poll: 49% of blacks say it isn't ok to be white. He said, ok fine, I'm out. That seems logical, not racist.
ScottAdamsSays I guess this means the Nazi pictures will return to Google… 🤣
Weird he pretends this is a free speech issue. The government isn't involved in this at all.
CNN is what happens when you smack dog shit with a tennis racket.
'Wow, black communties have an incredible racism problem.' 'Omg, you're racist for saying that!!!!' Jfc lol
Freedom of speech is life! And 'life finds a way.' Show me which demographic likes silencing free speech, and I will show you political cannon fodder!
Excellent, hard-hitting reporting. Kudos!
He actually did the opposite of that; He exposed the media's complicity in promoting racism
We saw who the 'real' racist were.
'Facts are racist' This is all you're saying.
Scott Adams was right.
TuckerCarlson they got Dilbert :(
Not only is it not racism to point out factual polling exposing a demographic engaging in outright racial hatred, it's pragmatic to advise avoiding those people when they are responsible for an overwhelming level of murder and violence. Dilbert guy did nothing wrong.
The racist tirade comes from the other direction I’m afraid, shameful reporting.
Was he wrong though?
Prominant black people go on racist tirades daily on prime time TV and you guys say nothing. Maybe it's not 'racism' you don't like. Or maybe you just love racism when it fits your narrative.
All due respect, what he said was far from a tirade.
Fake news, it wasn't a ''racist tirade''
Oh the irony 😂
It was a hysterically bad idea, but he was, amusingly, responding to a poll that shows about a quarter of black people don't think it's ok to be white. Which is pretty racist.
He did not say anything racist. Anyone can see his own account here: (cc. ScottAdamsSays). He is just being canceled.
*fact based diatribe
