Fully Unhinged 'Dilbert' Guy Tells White People to 'Get the Fuck Away' From Black People

Last edited Thu Feb 23, 2023, 05:46 PM - Edit history (1)

Source: The Daily Beast

Pro-Trump cartoonist Scott Adams pulled the mask all the way off this week, declaring on his podcast that white people should "get the hell away from Black people" while labeling African-Americans as a "hate group."

Adams, who has written the satirical office comic strip Dilbert for more than three decades, said during his Coffee with Scott Adams online video program that current polling proves that there is "no fixing" the current racial tension in America and that whites should live in largely segregated neighborhoods.

Citing a recent Rasmussen survey showing 53 percent of Black people agree with the phrase "It's okay to be white," which the Anti-Defamation League has deemed a hate slogan, Adams said on Wednesday that this was the "first political poll that ever changed my activities" while launching into an overtly racist rant.

"I've been identifying as Black for a while because I like to be on the winning team," the right-wing culture warrior sarcastically noted. "And I like to help. I always thought if you help the Black community, that's sort of the biggest lever, you could find the biggest benefit."

Last September Dilbert was dropped from 77 newspapers by syndicator Lee Enterprises. it's time for remaining syndicators or outlets to drop Scott Adams's work.


P.S. He's also a misogynist.

Years ago, I attended a brunch cruise with Ron Reagan, Jr. (who is a progressive) and the first question asked of him was, "Why did you dad go from being a Democrat to a Republican?" His answer was "Money." Seems that his dad had the first million-dollar contract in Hollywood and that changed his worldview.

By luck he became moderately wealthy. Became a Republican and pulled up the ladder behind him.

from whomever he pleases. Not sure why he feels compelled to tell us this. Just do your thing, live the way you want, and don't announce it or try to convince others (whites) to follow your path--that's the nasty, corrosive part of this announcement. Couldn't care less if he personally dislikes blacks or Indians or Asians or Jews or any other group or type of person. Keep that shit to yourself--it certainly doesn't make you look like a good person, and it adds to division and toxic discourse.

It's not like he just emerged from some horrifyingly bad experience with an Ayahuasca overdose and started blurting stuff out. He's been like this for ages, and it's LONG past time for him to leave the public sphere.

He was already dropped by 77 newspapers last fall, and I imagine this unhinged bit of nastiness will trigger a bunch more to do the same.

Perhaps "trigger" was the wrong word here.
