Scott Adams, the creator of the internationally syndicated Dilbert comic strip, unleashed a racist rant this week on YouTube, saying Black people are a hate group and “I don’t wanna have anything to do with ’em” — a statement that is being met with condemnation, including the cancellation of his cartoons from the Houston Chronicle and other newspapers.
who were asked whether they agreed with the statement “It’s OK to be white,” a phrase the Anti-Defamation League has labeled as hate speech., including 53% of Black respondents. Twenty-two percent of Americans disagreed with the statement, including 26% of Black respondents. Adams’ rant was met with fury online. Actress Marsha Warfield shared the clip to her Twitter timeline, saying, “Because nothing is racist to a racist, or they’d have to admit they’re a racist.”
"We believe strongly in upholding values that recognize the dignity of all our readers. The Dilbert strip and its creator have violated those core values," Hearst leaders said in a prepared statement. Times Union editor in chief Casey Seiler said the response was similar in Albany."The frequency of episodes in which we would have to replace strips with non-offensive reruns had been accelerating," he said."We try to provide our readers with quality features, and we came to the conclusion that we could do better."
