According to reports, the company that syndicates the comic strip "Dilbert," Andrews McMeel Universal, has officially cut ties with creator Scott Adams after his racist remarks aimed at black people.
Andrews McMeel Chairman Hugh Andrews and CEO and President Andy Sareyan said in a joint statement that the company would be "severing our relationship" with Adams due to the company's stance to “never support any commentary rooted in discrimination or hate.”
The Penguin Random House imprint who was set to publish Adam's forthcoming book also terminated their relationship. Not to mention the hundreds of newspapers no longer carrying the Dilbert comic strip.
Adams is under fire after responding to a survey which saw the 47% of black people polled in the study conducted by the conservative firm, Rasmussen Reports, say that it's "not" okay to be white. This prompted Adams to claim this proves black people are effectively a hate group.
“If nearly half of all Blacks are not OK with White people – according to this poll, not according to me, according to th is poll – that’s a hate group,” Adams said Wednesday on his YouTube show “Real Coffee with Scott Adams.”
“I don’t want to have anything to do with them,” he added. “And I would say, 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 f**k away … because there is no fixing this.”
