New York CNN —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.
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.
“If nearly half of all Blacks are not OK with White people – according to this poll, not according to me, according to th is poll – that’s a hate group,” Adams said Wednesday on his YouTube show “Real Coffee with Scott Adams.”“I don’t want to have anything to do with them,” Adams added.
“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.”
