Dilbert dropped by newspaper

#1 Post by earendel » Sun Feb 26, 2023 2:44 pm

Following Scott Adams's rant on YouTube in which he called Black Americans a hate group and said White people should "get the hell away from" them, the Gannett newspaper syndicate, the Washington Post, and a number of other newspapers have dropped his strip "Dilbert".

I was astonished when I read the comments. I thought Adams was on the side of the little guy and the underdog. I'm glad our local newspaper dropped it.

Yeah, I was shocked, too. The comments are definately Nazi-like. I wonder how he'll spin his "intended context".

The spin is it was hyperbole, he's a comic...
