Dilbert cartoon have dropped by many US Newspapers...

After its creator made racist comments....


US newspapers along with the Washington Post have dropped the long-running Dilbert cartoon strip when its creator made racist comments.

 

 

Scott Adams, cartoonist, who is a white, said in a YouTube video, black Americans were part of a "hate group" and white people should "get the hell away" from them.

 

Later, Mr. Adams, acknowledged that his career was destroyed.

 

 

He confess that most of his income would be gone by next week.

 

 

First published in 1989, Dilbert, written as illustrated by Mr. Adams.

 

Dilbert has been a mainstay of the funny pages of America's newspapers, and features a put-upon office worker and a talking dog, who together take aim at the fads of corporate culture.

 

Among those media outlets that have dropped the Dilbert cartoon strip are the USA Today network, which operates dozens of newspapers, and the Los Angeles Times.

 

 

Mr. Adams' remarks promoted segregation according to Washington Post.

 

 

When a survey was conducted by the firm Rasmussen Reports, his comments were made, in which people were questioned to agree or disagree with the phrase: "it's OK to be white."

 

In 2017 the phrase is believed to be emerged as a trolling campaign and since has been used by white supermacists.

 

According to the poll, 53% of black are agreed with the statement, and 26% disagreed and left were not sure.

 

Mr. Adams said that those that disagreed were a "hate group".
