A few days ago, right in the middle of Black History Month, Scott Adams, the creator of the comic strip Dilbert, went on a racist rant on his podcast. Basically, he said that Black people were a lost cause and advised white people to just get the f''' away from them. Ironically, despite a long history of being racist, he claimed to be done trying "to help" Black people because he only gets called a racist for it. Go figure.
But now that he has f'''ed around, he is starting to hit the found out stage and it's hitting him where it matters to him - the checkbook:
"This is not a difficult decision," wrote Chris Quinn. "No, this is a decision based on the principles of this news organization and the community we serve. We are not a home for those who espouse racism. We certainly do not want to provide them with financial support. Adams’ reprehensible statements come during Black History Month, when The Plain Dealer has been publishing stories about the work being performed by so many to overcome the damage done by racist decisions and policy.
Dilbert, the three-decades-old daily comic strip about office worker struggles, is being pulled from The Cleveland Plain Dealer following cartoonist Scott Adams' racist tirade earlier this week, the newspaper's editor wrote on Friday.
Adams has already been bounced from 77 other papers associated with Lee Enterprises.
For someone who thinks he is superior to a whole race, he sure is a freaking slow learner.
