More newspapers say they are dropping the “Dilbert” comic strip after creator Scott Adams this week advised white people to “get the f–k away” from Black people.
The money quote:
“…While we respect and encourage free speech, his views do not align with our editorial or business values as an organization”
I’m sure that they don’t see the irony in that statement.
As for the Scott Adams podcast here’s a thought. Watch it before you start lighting torches and throwing stones.
The hourlong YouTube clip was posted Wednesday, racking up 119,000 views on Adams’ channel, which has 118,000 subscribers.
“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,” he stated.
Adams also said it doesn’t “make any sense as a white citizen of America to try to help Black citizens anymore,” arguing that it is “no longer a rational impulse.”
“So I’m going to back off on being helpful to Black America because it doesn’t seem like it pays off,” he said.
I watched that part of the podcast, it’s an intelligent and sharp poke at the whole façade we’ve established in America that caters to the Negro race. That ignores their predominance in crime statistics and lack of progress despite the vast sums of money and decades of effort. It haven’t paid off. Spot on Scott!
What sparked Scotts podcast statements was an actual recent poll where a majority of the black minority answered in the affirmative “That it is not OK to be White”. But that’s not racist?
All of the newspapers canceling Scott are completely ignoring that poll.
Adams doubled down on his beliefs Saturday on Twitter, writing, “A lot of people are angry at me today but I haven’t yet heard anyone disagree.”
“I make two main points: 1. Treat everyone as an individual (no discrimination). 2. Avoid any group that doesn’t respect you,” the tweet continued. “Does anyone think that is bad advice?”
The comments rankled Twitter users, who called Adams a “racist” and argued he “canceled” himself.
“The energy needed to refute BS is of an order of magnitude greater than the effort needed to produce the BS in the first place. ”
