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.

(5,016 posts)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.

(9,173 posts)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.

I guess not.

(6,672 posts)As a former corporate dink, I love the Dilbert calendars I get every Christmas, which are mostly compiled from older strips. Guess I should have been paying attention to his more recent stuff.
Fuck you, Scott.
yardwork
(68,983 posts)I used to laugh at his strips, too. This is an example of a person's art being better than they are.
Who says he can draw?
yardwork
(68,983 posts)Yeah, "art" didn't seem exactly right to me either but I couldn't think of another word. His job? His craft? It's better than he is, which is a very low bar.

Edited to add: I watched part of the video, and Im disgusted and disappointed. Unsubscribing today from his emails.

live with your "buddies" in Idaho if you don't want to live in The South.
And there supposed to be some red hot NJ spots, too.

(27,083 posts)Dilbert and wondering if Scott Adams had bugged our school - the situations were so familiar. But I never remember seeing a single Black character. Ever. Makes you wonder.

(110,195 posts)because the Black engineer said he "identified" as white.

(27,083 posts)absurdity of "identifying" as one race or another. He's a hard core right winger.

I've gotten more laughs out of Sarge beating up Beetle Bailey and Garfield's stale jokes more than I ever have from Dilbert.
BobTheSubgenius
(12,172 posts)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.

(47,940 posts)I even got my boss in one of his strips. Long story, but I had a great phone conversation with him one day. I made him laugh. I saved the strip and used to enjoy looking at it. Sigh
I saw the video of him spewing this garbage. One of the most disgusting things Ive ever witnessed. I hope hes utterly disgraced and we never have to hear about him again.
