Dilbert cartoon dropped by US newspapers over creator’s racist comments

Once-popular cartoon scrapped from hundreds of papers after Scott Adams calls Black people a ‘hate group’ on his YouTube show

The cartoon “Dilbert” has been dropped from numerous US newspapers in response to racist comments by its creator, Scott Adams, on his YouTube channel.

Adams called Black Americans a “hate group” and suggested white Americans “get the hell away from Black people” in response to a conservative organization’s poll purporting to show that many African Americans do not agree with the statement: “It’s OK to be white.”
