"Dilbert" Creator Scott Adams Goes On Racist Rant

“Dilbert” Creator Scott Adams Goes On Racist Rant

Scott Adams’ creator of the long-running “Dilbert” comic strip is finding his comic pulled by multiple newspapers after the cartoonist called Black Americans a “hate group” and urged white people to “get the fuck away” from Black people in a YouTube video.

On his YouTube show on Wednesday, Feb. 22, Adams cited a right wing survey that found nearly half of Black people do not agree with the statement, “It’s okay to be white.”

Said Adams: “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 fuck away,” Adams said. “Wherever you have to go, just get away. Because there’s no fixing this. This can’t be fixed. So I don’t think it makes any sense as a white citizen of America to try to help Black citizens anymore. It doesn’t make sense. There’s 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. – The only outcome is I get called a racist. That’s the only outcome. It makes no sense to help Black Americans if you’re white. It’s over. Don’t even think it’s worth trying.”

Adams previously has claimed that some of his projects have been canceled because he is white, and he has made numerous racially-charged “jokes.” Adams in 2022 introduced the first-ever Black character to “Dilbert,” dubbed Dave the Black Engineer, whom he used to mock the idea of workplace diversity and transgender identity (“I identify as white,” Dave the Black Engineer says in one strip).
