The Chicago Tribune is among outlets dropping the comic strip after its creator described people who are Black as members of 'a racist hate group' during an online video show.
Several prominent media publishers across the U.S., including the Chicago Tribune, are dropping the Dilbert comic strip after its creator described people who are Black as members of"a racist hate group" during an online video show.
The backlash began following an episode this past week of the YouTube show,"Real Coffee with Scott Adams." Among other topics, Adams referenced a Rasmussen Reports survey that had asked whether people agreed with the statement"It's OK to be White."The Anti-Defamation League says the phrase was popularized in 2017 as a trolling campaign by members of the discussion forum 4chan but then began being used by some white supremacists.
The L.A. Times said its last publication of a Dilbert comic strip would appear in the Sunday, March 12, edition of the paper, because Sunday comics are already printed several weeks in advance. The Plain Dealer in Cleveland and other publications that are part of Advance Local media also announced that they are dropping Dilbert.
